Best of 2009: Music Videos

I doubt I will catch any more music videos by now, so here is my random list of best music videos in very random categories, because that’s what I do best, I think.

I’m writing as I go, so if I don’t make any sense. Forgive.

National Board of Review 2009 Winners

December 4, 2009 — 1 Comment

I think Julz is going to be VERY happy.

The National Board of Review named Up in the Air as the best film of the year. And like the Examiner mentions on its article… is this backlash against Mo’Nique’s refusal to promote the film and piss on her Oscar chances? Woah, that’s like a mafia. LOL

Clint Eastwood was named Best Director for Invictus, but like The Envelope says… Eastwood is a NBR fave. It really IS like a mafia~~~

Top10 Films of 2009
– An Education
– (500) Days of Summer
– The Hurt Locker
– Inglourious Basterds
– Invictus
– The Messenger
– A Serious Man
– Star Trek
– Up
– Where the Wild Things Are

On my search for 2009 released albums, I stumbled across this post by Layabozi listing 60 Chinese Albums to Show Off — I so need to affiliate with them for YAM. Once Nate gets his crap sorted… Anyway, I digress~~~

They got some people working as musicians or music PR peeps~ to choose the albums to show off as a way to commemorate the 60 years of the Republic of China. Though, there seems to be a glitch on their list because a Hedgehog album seems to be showing more than once there~~~ xD

The ones on the list that I could already be showing off are:

Hedgehog – Noise Hit World
don’t mind the no-sense English. It’s a really FUN album.
Faye Wong – Restless
Khalil Fong – This Love
Chang Shi Lei – Niu China
Faye Wong – Fable
Carsick Cars – Carsick Cars

And I could be adding to my Show Off list…

Faye Wong – Faye Wong (2001)
Faye Wong – To Love
Yuguo – Babel
Zhou Bichang – WOW

Though I’m sure choosing a Wang Leehom album would get me some minus points.

Amy’s Experiment Awards Update 2

November 30, 2009 — 2 Comments

Here’s the main idea post.

And yes, I made it passed the 48 films. I’m nearly on my film #70, I think.

Since it’s nearly December here, and it’s December already in several places. It’s time for a reminder because I haven’t heard from many of you, and I promised to remind everyone.

You’ve got all this month to watch films to complete your 48 film-count.
Your nomination list should be sent by January 7th 2010.
Nominations categories are the same as the Academy Awards, except;
- no Best Foreign Film category.
- no shorts (documentaries, animated or live-action)
- no Documentary Features either.
Nominations are announced on January 10th 2010
Voting for a winner ends on January 28th 2010
Winners are announced January 31st 2010.

So grab and Academy Award nomination list, fill in the blanks except for the categories specified above, and send them my way. ;P

Experiment Awards’ 2006

November 16, 2009 — Leave a comment

First, let me begin saying that I thought 2006 was a great year to watch films. Also, funny thing to point out — it was really, and I mean… REALLY tough to pick my Best Supporting Actress picks~

Many of my favorite films have a 2006 tag in them, so this list might seem a little bias, even though I really tried hard to not be. You might noticed how hard I tried not to be bias. LOL — check the Best Actress category~

Experiment Awards’ 2005

November 14, 2009 — Leave a comment

I should be really working on these more often because there are 3 more left before I get to choose the ones from 2009~~~ This time around, I kind of feel like i didn’t get to watch many good films. It was really tough to find 3 animated films to include, and considered to just choose two instead, but I found 3 xD so I hope it’s not mostly filler~

Experiment Awards’ 2004

October 21, 2009 — Leave a comment

And we continue to go through the years and film~

Some interesting observations on this one? There were a lot of GOOD male performances. I guess it’s by years, but I thought it was so tough to choose my Best Actors this time.

Experiment Awards’ 2003

October 17, 2009 — Leave a comment

As always, I think I’m a little off with the guys. O.o
I feel the list is a bit uninspiring, LOL

check it out yourself~~~

If it were the 2002 Experiment Awards~

September 28, 2009 — Leave a comment

Continuing with the warm-up!
Woohoo!! Movie count is up to 41!!
Only 7 more to go~~~ xD

First, some observations. I noticed that I’ve only listed about 70 films (counting with some really REALLY bad ones there), and I had to cut to half of those… the results are kind of very American. You agree?
