February 3, 2008 — 8 Comments

So, I was trying to get lyrics by LAST ALLIANCE, but it seems almost impossible… so as with the Kobukuro lyrics, I’ll try to find them and post them up. Thanks to Unexpected Fate, and once again Mognet.net.

I’ve been adding some romaji lyrics to this post, some bits might not be right, but for the most part sounds like its like that. If you know the lyrics to fix, please comment. If you are posting somewhere, please link back.

Jeux d’Enfants – Love Me If You Dare

February 2, 2008 — 2 Comments

Continuing with the Best Kisses posts, this is one of my fave films. A dark romantic comedy about Julien and Sophie, who become friends as kids and begin playing a dangerous game of Truth or Dare. Marion Cotillard is truly fantastic on this one, and the various versions of La Vie en Rose make it great.

Since I couldn’t find great captures online, I took some time to make my own. If you use them, it’ll be great that you could link back, or leave a message. ^^

The graphics are from the following moments of the film; Julien and Sophie kissing on top of a car, after Sophie dares him to do so, which continues in the alley until the moment ends and she realizes that it might be just a game to him. And the other moment was when they were about to be covered with the cement, and Julien tells her he should’ve dared to love her like crazy… and they stay happy. together. forever.

I Watch Catherine Too.

January 30, 2008 — 1 Comment

Anyone ever watched the Franco-Canadian show Catherine? TV-5 Latin America shows it, and I was trying to get some info online, but there wasn’t much. (to read a post about it click here)

CBC - Catherine Cast

Catherine is a pretty funny show done in French-speaking Canada, by CBC. It stars Sylvie Moreau as Catherine, a sassy and wacky advertiser at Mirage-Image Agency. Alongside Catherine, we see her landlady, her ex boyfriend, the Chinese owner of the grocery, etc. Oh! and don’t forget about her freak-o-megalomaniac flatmate, Sophie (Marie-Hélène Thibault).

If you’re a non-French speaker, or most likely are an English speaker… you can sign this petition to get it on DVD.

This is the smartest move that Amazon.com can do for its users. (full article here)

We are excited to tell those customers today that Amazon MP3 is going international this year.

I can’t wait for it.

Thoughts?
I’m so sad for Marion not winning, though Christie’s performance was moving… I’m still supporting Marion for the Oscar. LOL’ Come on! They showed the “Marcel! Marcel!” clip… that is like the best clip in the film, one of the longest scenes on the film and one of Marion’s finest!

Mycket Bra Svensk Film

January 26, 2008 — 2 Comments

LOL’ I don’t even know if my title would be grammatically correct, but I just wanted to say that I’ve reached my 3-films mark. Yup, that’s right! I finally saw my third film in Swedish today. It all began when I saw Så Som i Himmelen, which is now officially my first Svensk Film… then, also on Cinemax, I saw Den Osynlige – which sadly has already been Americanized. And today I saw Mitt Liv Som Hund, which was fantastic!

So can anyone recommend other Swedish films I could watch? Swedish film and international title on the comments would be appreciated! It’s most likely that Julyssa will comment, but others are welcomed to do it too! xD

Heath Dead. R.I.P

January 22, 2008 — 2 Comments

Shocking and sad news =( Heath Ledger died from an O.D.

Read about it here…

**EDIT**

It’s a few hours after this broke in the news, and I tried visiting some of his fansites, but apparently 4 of the ones that appear in the first page are down. IMDb boards are saturated with Rest in Peace messages, and other forums have dedicated forums.

Oscar Nominees Announced!

January 22, 2008 — 1 Comment

Nominees for this year’s Oscar nominations were announced while I was sort of sleeping, so I woke up to CNN’s news announcement! Kinda surprising on some categories, but take a look at the list yourself.

Thoughts? Marion and Julie Christie got a nod, so I’m freaking out, ha! It will all be decided next week in the SAG… but still then, it’s not for sure. Moreover, Ellen Page got a nod! I’m happy for her because I loved watching Juno, but I sure hope she doesn’t become my upset. If anyone should beat Cotillard, it should be Julie Christie. Oh yeah, one kind of a surprise was Laura Linney getting a nod instead of Angelina Jolie who had been getting a few more nods this season.

On the animated front, Persepolis against Ratatouille. Interesting who will win, I will give my vote to Persepolis but it’s most likely that Ratatouille will get this year’s Best Animated Feature, as Finding Nemo got it against Les Triplettes de Belleville.

Overall, La Vie en Rose got 3 nods (Best Actress, Best Costume Design, Best Make-up) while Atonement got 7 nods. But that wasn’t enough to beat No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood, which got 8 nods each. People’s fave, Juno, got 4 nods… and Away from Her got 2 nods (including one for Sarah Polley, woot woot). Diablo Cody got a nod for Best Original Screenplay *woot woot*

The biggest surprise for me where the Foreign Film nods, which went to films that others haven’t even mention… which is great because it makes it really interesting to guess!!

My Reasons Why the 90’s Ruled or Not – Part III

January 21, 2008 — 2 Comments

It’s another post of why the 90’s ruled! I was certain I had stuff to post, but now it’s slipped my mind. For the other parts, click on the following links:
My Reasons Why the 90’s Ruled or Not – Part I
My Reasons Why the 90’s Ruled or Not – Part II

When I was little, I had the pleasure to watch a lot of Disney stuff… stuff which my dad got hold of god knows how~ I only remember seeing the logo for something called Videorama. The thing is, he got me loads of tapes… Betamax tapes of old cartoons, and later we transfered them to VHS tapes. I got to watch The Sword in the Stone (1963), The Three Caballeros (1944)… oh man! I used to sing (and still sing) along to Os Quindins de Yaya!!! What other Disney… I mean, other than the classics like Snow White, or Sleeping Beauty… or The Little Mermaid, I got the chance to see Song of the South, Mouse Detective… I got the chance to see loads of Disney shorts, now included in the Walt Disney Treasures – Silly Symphonies and More Silly Symphonies~~ like Little Hiawhatta, Mother Goose Melodies, The Grasshopper and the Ants, The Tortoise and the Hare, and Elmer Elephant. I mean, I grew up with those… and miss them loads!

I am of the opinion everyone should grow up watching those to appreciate and understand animation. Anyway, those are Disney of MY 90’s, but here’s a list of Theatrical Animated Disney Releases:

  1. The Little Mermaid (Nov. 1989) – so this is technically almost a 90’s
  2. The Rescuers Down Under (1990) – Bernardo y Bianca!!
  3. Beauty and the Beast (1991) – Modern Classic Disney!
  4. Aladdin (1992) – Prince Ali! Fabulous he! Ali-ah Bah Buah!
  5. The Lion King (1994) – Another Modern Classic Disney!
  6. Pocahontas (1995)
  7. The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
  8. Hercules (1997)
  9. Mulan (1998) – I’ll make a man out of you!!
  10. Tarzan (1999) – This is one of Amy’s faves… the animation is rocking!
  11. Fantasia 2000 – which was also a 1999 release

Another fantastic Disney/Buena Vista animated film, The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), with one of my favorite characters! Jack Skellington! What’s this!! What’s this!!!

The 90’s also saw the BOOM! of animation master house Pixar (which was founded only 2 days before my birth date, on Feb. 3 1986! **snap**), that released Toy Story in 1995, following it with 1998’s release of A Bug’s Life, and ended 1999 with Toy Story 2.

That was back in the day, when all movie studios didn’t cash in on animation, and left animation to those who knew. Now the market is so saturated, we get at least 10 animated releases, instead of 1 or 2 quality ones. And sadly, 99,9% of them are on 3D, and classical animation has been long left to the sidelines, which is why I’m looking forward to some new Disney animation!

Holy Frijole! A whole why the 90’s ruled on Disney. ha! So I guess it’s fair to say Disney rocked in the 90’s/ Login off now, nites!
