It is a mixed review, but it has a nice comment on Yu and Ryo’s storyline.

Every other time, TheAuteurs.com shows some of their films for free. You only need an account there to watch the films, and you can even login with your Facebook account.
Since I joined, these films were added and restored:
- Hanyo (The Housemaid) [1960] – which is being remade.
- Susuz Yaz (Dry Summer) [1964]
- Touki Bouki [1973]
since then, free movies have come and gone…
some are still free, but some others now require paying~
- Tikimentary [2009]
- Gina, an Actress, Age 29 [2001]

- Sons of a Gun [2008]
subtitled in English when not in English.

This seems VERY open. It’s Asian, and it’s also Hollywood… so it seems like my kind of award. Funny thing is that some of those nominees seem very off and certainly kind of random.
For example the historical film The Founding of a Republic is… nominated for Best Comedy? OMG, is that ironic? Also… Inglourious Basterds didn’t make it to Best 2009 Film (even though you can vote for “other” and add it), and Bigelow didn’t make it to Best 2009 Director…
Anyway, some of the nominees in the international bits include usual suspects Avatar, The Hurt Locker, District 9, A Prophet, and Inglourious Basterds~~~ even Peru’s The Milk of Sorrow. xD
The Asian nominees include Mother, Thirst, Air Doll, Red Cliff, Ponyo, Forever Enthralled, Nobody to Watch Over me, Jackie Chan, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Eason Chan, Rain, Maggie Cheung, Gong Li, etc.
Some of the unusual categories include Best Asian Entertainer in Hollywood, Best Asian Movie of the Decade, 10 Best Asian Actors and Actresses…
Here’s some interesting info:
The animation work was made in Adobe After Effects. Each frame was then printed and the print was subsequently scanned back into the computer. The scanned frames were then assembled back into the original animation, now with a new rugged look, created by the visit in the physical analogue world. No effects added after scanning.
I have a love/hate relationship with Sondre Lerche’s music. My friend keeps telling me it should make me happy, but he doesn’t make me grin like an idiot like Crowd Lu does… which works for some people who don’t like to look like idiots while listening to music. LOL
I haven’t had a Fortune Cookie in forever~~~
Take a look at The Killing of a Chinese Cookie, for a short documentary that talks about the history of this pop culture icon that is not so Chinese… or Japanese. It’s interesting and funny! Favorite part was the judge’s cookie~

Not my kind of music, but this makes me want to play Tetris.
