My Favorite Movies

How does one survive in such harsh conditions, yet continue to fight injustice with such fierce optimism and courage? Her innocent smiles made me hopeful. Superb acting!!

beautiful! an honest and sensitive approach to the pain/loss of death in different families. the scenes/close-ups and emotive music lend an air of calm and dignity to an otherwise mobid and taboo subject.

totally inspiring!

Oscar et la Dame Rose: A Beautiful story full of innocence & sadness. Cried buckets after watching this.

Where's the 6th star?

an essence of quiet profundity. might we be like them when we have lost our minds?

The child actors/actresses really drew me deep into the plot and their hearts. A sad movie that will remind all parents to care for their own. Excellent movie!!

An excellent movie all 'round! The young boy in the movie playing Toto was "irresistible" - he was so naughty and hilarious at the same time! Poor mom!! :D

This is one of the best movies i've seen in recent years and definitely a rare one portraying the realities of illegal immigration. The Q&A session after the movie with Vincent Lindon was the icing on the cake and made me miss the Brit & French humour so much!

This is an innocently beautiful film with a tragic end. I feel so sad for these refugee children!!

4 1/2 star - in English
6 star - in Cantonese

Okie, I'm not an Edith Piaf fan, but it's both entertaining and poignant to see the world with her eyes and vice versa.

wonderful, half-surreal & beautiful moments filled with beautiful music. A masterpiece!

totally enjoyable!!

few movies make such a strong statement in the beginning.

Once again, we are reminded that good plots and good skills are a totally winning combination -- without the silly excesses of many hollywood flicks!

Esther Gorintin gave such a convincing performance here! I heartily recommend this feature!!

I like the story... kudos to Spielberg!!

This is the first movie in which i can agree with DiCaprio's acting skills. Good work!!

FUNNY in bold.

I heartily recommend it! A fantastic interpretation of Iran's history. Bittersweet and thoroughly enjoyable.

...the scale of it all plus superb acting & sound track!

Freeman and Nicholson didn't disappoint :)
I might just get the transcript to this movie... there were a handful of funny spots :D

We might influence each other like that, quite possibly! :)

wonderful, heartwarming show! well done!!

I was cracking up with laughter the entire time that Shifu taught Po gongfu!! Hilarious!!

Simply CuTe!!
Waaaaaaaaaaaalll-E & his EEEEEEvvAA

One of the best animations in the world!!

i totally love this film!!
brilliant acting, script & insight to the world of the sufferer!

This is one brilliant arthouse movie!
Kudos to Tim Roth!!

We definitely need more movies like this one. A must-watch for all married couples and couples who are intending to tie the knot :)

Great movie all 'round!

She's hot, he's scorchingly hot! That VOICE!!!

a movie i can definitely watch again... :)

Oh, i so want to start a food blog straight away and get my hands on good french soul food both in a fancy restaurant and in my own kitchen!!

This is such a winsome and inspiring movie all -- thanks to Streep's excellent portrayal of a passionate and honest Julia Child!

The sophisticated lady: Deneuve.
The golden globe artiste: Ardant.
The sensuous kitty: Beart.

it got me headed straight to a clothes store to get matching shirts! what do you think? :p

Nothing short of a 5-star :D

i really like that one!

the colours, sounds and acting add to the wonderful texture of this one!

One of the rare films that got me examining the motive behind marriages and our response to love. This movie is totally moving and winsome with funny lines sprinkled throughout!

I have a hunch that sales of rodents will skyrocket after this cute movie :) need i say more? I like it :D

if this is the real scenario of schools for the young in the U.S., then it is a truly sad state of affairs... and i guess there's a lot that the government can do to make it better for the majority, at least :) It also exposes the systemic problem inherent in the american society...

That's what Aaron (my hubby, who else?!) & I sat thru one saturday afternoon to watch... & we were in love! :D

This film is not just skin-deep. I thought it brought out 2 points very well:
1) Beauty includes suitable/matching vocal chords, classy accent, styling, lifestyle, cool friends/associations... and more importantly,
2) I wonder how many good-lookers out there want an off-suit! Life can be rather empty/sad if no one's interested in the (real) person underneath.

Other than these, the film's simply hilarious. We were just laughing and laughing and laughing!!! :D

Berleand's lines were totally cool and funny. Bonnaire's were cool retorts that we chicks can use :)

The chemistry between Firth and Rush as a student between his mentor was so real that it felt like i was transported to the same room where the speech therapy sessions were held! All in all a terrific show with brilliant acting!!

I love Reno's films, find Ryoko adorable and Muller funny... what's there not to like? And how did all the Japanese speak such fluent French??!! %-)

this movie is making me feel the travel bug again! what lovely views Taiwan offers!! i loved how easy it was for everyone to simply come along on the male lead's journey around the coast :) There were no dominant, in-your-face type figures that almost every movie tries to instill... only very friendly/helpful local folks. Who can beat that charm?
