  • The amazingness that is going to be Cloud Atlas~

    Just saying.

    There is an 80% chance that I’m gonna love this movie even if everyone else hates it, because Doona Bae cries in the movie. And whenever she cries, I cry coz she’s amazing like that [1].

    If I was pretty pump before, I’m super eager to watch this as soon as possible in the best quality possible. There are big BIG chances that I will buy this in Blu-ray. And I haven’t bought an “American” product in quite a while. Remember when Natalie Portman was attached to this?

  • The Most Beautiful Movies Ever Made

    Flavorwire.com made a video titled 135 Shots That Will Restore Your Faith in Cinema, after asking their readers what were “the most beautiful movies ever made.” The result is okay, I guess. I still don’t think that I’m as moved by Terrence Malick films as others are…

    There was also some Zhang Yimou and Wong Kar-wai added in there, alongside Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain — which was one of my picks for most iconic movie images. xD

    In any case, there was some Noboru Shinoda (and therefore, Shunji Iwai) missing. The Hana & Alice ballet scene [1], just as Love Letter, as well as EVERYTHING on Picnic [1], and every single frame in All About Lily Chou Chou — they’re all perfect. LOL

  • Kidman for Harper’s Bazaar by Will Davidson

    Oh, gosh.

    I was looking for a suitable still of Hemingway & Gellhorn, when I ran into this cover for Harper’s Bazaar and I thought it was an old shoot until I read it was a fairly recent one.

  • Terra Sacra by Sean White

    Remember when time-lapse used to be the craze within designer circles? You used to find all the good ones in design blogs, and stuff…

    I found this on Facebook, posted from a second-hand rate website.

    There’s also a Vimeo version.

    I can see why people hate time-lapse now, though I gotta admit the time-lapse with Machu Picchu is quite stunning. We don’t get to see Machu Picchu shot as beautiful as it was shown there.

    Does Charlize Theron look better in Black&White or what?

  • The Lovely “Flowers of War”

    This is a superficial post on The Flowers of War.

    You can also check my post on propaganda films — Propaganda: Movies and their Message ~ and you are more than welcomed to flame me for liking “rubbish” films or liking China, whatever. LOL

    I honestly liked The Flowers of War, it had its faults of course… as any and many a film does, but I totally think that the shameful 29% in RottenTomatoes is undeserved. It’s… with all my honesty and my unbiased, a solid 70%. All of that aside, wow– these are beautiful. If only the film could have been promoted with these pictures~

    They’re the heroes~

  • Gong Li for l’Officiel China 2011

    Ooh la la, Gong Li.

    You look positively flawless.

  • New j’Adore Dior CM with Charlize Theron, Grace Kelly, Marlene Dietrich and Marilyn Monroe

    Fashion and perfume CMs are so pretty, huh? [1][2]

    This latest j’Adore Dior CM, which Charlize Theron has been promoting for a while doing those long walks almost naked but not showing anything have been… pretty normal. But this latest one which features Grace Kelly, Dietrich — both look like pretty close impersonators (I’m not even sure! LOL), but Marilyn looks pretty close to the actual Monroe and it looks like it might be footage. I’m not sure either, but it’s just pretty cool hahahaha.

    Theron is the long-legged giantess and with those uber high high heels, I don’t even want to think of how tall she must be with those. I love it. LOL

    Having said that, does anyone know the legality of using a dead icon’s image to use on a CM?

    I love it.

  • My 13 Most Iconic Movie Images

    Nick, over at Anomalous Material, did his list of 13 Iconic Movie Images (for him). I thought I would share mine here since things have been a little on the weak side lately.

    I dunno exactly why 13, but… it suits me fine. It gave me room to include things I wouldn’t have included in the first place. I’m surprised I cut so many from my Top10 Fave Films, but I did manage to squeeze half of them in. LOL I also set myself two rules… no black and whites, or animated films. ;O

    So here we go~~~
