Film: “the air i breathe’

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

I bought this because of my current Brendan Fraser kick and as i buy second hand i usually just get what is a low price rather than a desperate need to see. I hadn’t heard of this film before, but it has an interesting cast of Forest Whitaker, Andy Garcia, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Julie Delpy, Emile Hirsh and, an appearance of John Cho at the start!

Its a really good cast for the writer/director Jieho Lee who is a Korean American who has based this film on the proverb that life can be broken down into 4 emotions:  Happiness, pleasure, sorrow, love

“Sometimes being completely f****d is a liberating experience”

Again there is the wonderful interconnectedness of events and people who would normally not know each other. Its a real gem of a film as the director pulls no punches with characters and plot

Film: “School Ties” “Twenty Bucks”

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

Just watching the credits roll on ‘School Ties’ a Brendan Fraser film that I’ve seen before and always enjoyed. I guess its a bit on the cliche side of things – school and honour codes, but its still a good watch. It has heaps of other successful actors in: Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Anthony Rapp, Chris O donnel, Cole Hauser, Amy Locane… but i guess seeing as its from 1992 its to be expected.

I have 3 more Brendan Fraser films to go through today as well, and next up is ‘Twenty Bucks’ which I have also seen before and follows the trail of a $20 note and the people it gets handled by. I like the interconnectivity of films like that (maybe that’s why i like ‘Lost’ so much) and that too has a long list of notable people in it including Steve Buscemi who is always very awesome.

I’m doing a whole host of clearing up while i watch as a continuing of my spring Clean. I had NO idea how obsessed i am with stationary until i started clearing things out. I now have several notepads that I’ll be giving away to friends when i see them tomorrow and halting my stationary fetish (i am in denial i have one)

I am also trying to do 3 loads of laundry while the sun shines which makes me think i am turning into my mother *doh*
