Juno Luv

January 16, 2008 — Leave a comment

Ellen Page - Juno PreggersThe last time I remember writing a review, it was for Golden Compass. This time I must express my luv for Juno… I instantly fell in luvvvv with the film, and we luvvv Diablo Cody for that. Ellen Page was superb as pregnant teen, Juno, though I admit Juno might be a little too smart to end up in shenanigans like that, but that’s besides the point. Ellen Page = Junoness.

Michael Cera is cute as Juno’s sperminator, while Simmons and Janney do great as the parents who don’t freak out… Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman appear as the couple adopting Juno’s unborn baby. Oh yeah! And I have to mention Valerie Tian as abortion protester/classmate Su-chin (who happens to be from Vancouver, woot woot).

Juno is enjoyable, well acted, and has a rocking soundtrack. It’s a must-watch for people, and it’s a must-have for me! Oh yeah, and how much did all those cute doodling-doodle-dos rock?

I leave you all with a kick-ass interview with Ellen Page from Curve online-mag.

BAFTA Nominations

January 16, 2008 — Leave a comment

Okay, I admit it… I’m not as aware of BAFTA awards or nominations as I am of the Academy Award, or the GG… or lately, the SAG… but today we had a bunch of nominees~~

No Country for Old Men, Atonement, There Will Be Blood, The Lives of Others (last year’s Foreign Film winner at the Oscar), The Bourne Ultimatum, Eastern Promises are some of the nominees for Best Film and Best British Film. While the Coen Bros are a shoo-in in the Best Director category~ lol’ Also, they are among the nominees for Best Adapted Screenplay, while Diablo Cody is in for a Best Original Screenplay. Oh yeah, and Ratatouille is a 99,9% winner in the Best Animated Film category.

In the acting categories, Daniel Day-Lewis, Viggo Mortensen, and Ulrich Mühe (RIP, for The Live of Others) are among the Best Actor category; while Julie Christie, Ellen Page and Marion Cotillard will battle the Best Actress one. In the supporting roles, Javier Bardem and Cate Blanchett are most likely to win!

For a complete list of all the nominees, please click here!

The BAFTA winners will be announced on Feb. 10th!

Oxymoron MusicPass

January 10, 2008 — 2 Comments

How thick can an industry get?

I got a bunch of e-mails promoting the new MusicPass idea, which brought a very loud “whose brilliant idea was it? No, like… really.”

Dear, Sony.
The idea of music download is that you don’t need to go to a retailer to pick up a copy of an album, and you don’t even have to wait for the retailer to open in the morning.

Well, considering I do most of my digital music shopping at 4 a.m. ~~~~ xP

Welcome to 2008! See Ya, Golden Globes!

January 8, 2008 — Leave a comment

First week of 2008 is done! Been catching up on many films, and reading news. First things first, Julie Christie seems to be leading the award season, closely followed by Marion Cotillard, and Ellen Page!

The big thing of this season is that Golden Globes will be reduced to just a press conference announcing the winners, meaning that if Marion wins the GG for Best Actress on a Comedy/Musical, she won’t be there to accept the award, and her moment in the spotlight will be shunned by this event.

On other related news, the striking writers seem to be closer to reaching a deal… that would be good for Oscar season… because Oscar is important to Amy. If there’s no Academy Awards this year, it will be the first year in 10 years that she misses the broadcast~~ well, in this case, I wouldn’t miss it because there will be nothing to miss!

I am mostly rubbish at Golden Globes predictions, but I’m pretty sure No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood will be among the winners… Daniel Day Lewis, or Viggo Mortensen, Julie Christie, Marion Cotillard or perhaps Ellen Page? And Could Johnny Depp be there?

Changing the World One Pie and a Cookie at a Time

December 31, 2007 — Leave a comment

Just finished watching Stranger than Fiction. Fantastic film. I just thought I would share a couple of images with Maggie Gyllenhaal, as Ms. Pascal – the Cookie lady, the thoughts of warm cookies gave my stomach fuzzy feelings, reminded me of Waitress, starring Keri Russell.

So here’s to fuzziness! And changing the world with cookies and pies!

Waitress - I Make Pies

Stranger than Fiction - Ms. Pascal

This is my friend’s Cookie Recipes. Some are in Chinese, though.

In This House, We Hate Vista

December 26, 2007 — 1 Comment

It’s official! My mom just bought herself a new computer, a HP in fact… and HP sucks. Always has sucked, and still sucks after devouring Compaq. Those will be 6hrs of my life that I will never get back… and what did I do? I installed an antivirus, a firewall, Firefox and Open Office. Yeh, that’s it. In 6 fucking long hours… because had to look for a driver for the printer, because Vista sucks balls. Still can’t make the stupid scanner work, because it’s way older than my printer, which I bought this year – my scanner is at least 5 years. But Windows Vista is so stupid that nothing is compatible, and you gotta make sure everything says “Vista Compatible” otherwise, you’re just asking for trouble.

And because HP is idiotic, they sell a 1GB desktop that runs Vista when its so un-fucking-believably slow.  How in the name of whoever’s-your-god did Microsoft come up with an OS that works like a Mac OS that uses double the RAM? I’m sensing an increase on Dell computers and Linux.
