one more week and my internship would have ended. with events lined up, it's not as though i'm going to be busy everyday. at least, i'll have about 4 days at home each week, i hope. Been thinking of movies/dvds that i want to catch with the break (click on the titles for more movie info!).

Movies:
1. Elizabethtown
opens 11 aug. orlando bloom is not acting macho with swords (kingdom of heaven) or fancy fighting (lotr, pirates, calcium kid) or looking pretty (troy). here, he's acting. i hope. actually, he's growing out nicely. i have to admit, the wavy brown locks framed his pretty boy features nicely. even the broken nose is a nice touch.

2. Charlie and Chocolate Factory
loved the book since i was young. plus there's johnny depp looking beautifully ecentric. a jacko wacko comparison? whatever. hope they'll do a charlie and the glass elevator. yes, there's a second part to it. i'm a bookworm, if you haven't noticed.


3. fantastic four
i'm a cartoonfreak too. fantastic four is not one of my faves but hey, i always enjoy a good cartoon made into a movie. problem is, ppl say it's too sudden. still wondering if it's worthed my $7.50 even.

4. sin city
looks interesting enough... dark stories do intrigue me once in a while. still contemplating though.. nothing's confirmed.

5. bewitched
i remember watching the original series of bewitched starring Elizabeth Montgomery. it was also the time i was hooked on I love Lucy with Lucille Ball. the original series of Bewitched is actually showing on hallmark now. yes, i'm a bit of a sentimental romantic when it comes to things that remind me of my days sitting in front of the tv and i had no other cares. plus it's nicole kidman!

6. Corpse Bride
please take off.. please take off.. i wanna watch it... i wanna watch it... but derno when it'll be out......

7. King Kong
Adrian brody, jack black, naomi watts, and andy serkis as a big black confused ape who hangs out with dinosaurs by peter jackson.. what more do you want?

DVDs:
1. Equilibrium
2. Wilde
3. ned kelly
4. paris je t'aime
5. little women
6. a midsummer's night dream
7. Hauru no ugoku shiro (Howl's moving castle)
8. Dreamcatcher
9. My girl
10. finding neverland
11. a lot like love (please be out in the stores..)

i've watched 3 of the shows already. "finding neverland" (wc, thanks for the posters!), "my girl" and "little women". will always remember the scene where laurie chased jo (winona ryder) around a table at a party. always thought that laurie was really good-looking in that classic, old english charming way. i made my mother buy the book after that and i fell in love with laurie's character, imagining that he looked like the actor in the movie. why do you think my unofficial english name is josephine? anyway, i never found out who the actor was until now. christian bale. voila. the mysterious charmer who sweep me off my feet with his smile in batman begins. i nearly died when i found out. my dream teddy (jo's nickname for laurie in the book) was christian bale all the time.

some of the movies were recommended ("equilibrium", "hauru no ugoku shiro", "dreamcatcher" and "a lot like love") while the rest are shows i do have an interest in. "wilde" is about oscar wilde (duh). i enjoy his wicked brit wit and humor, esp in "imptance of being earnest" (IOBE). "picture of dorian gray" was nice, though not as enjoyable as IOBE. "ned kelly" sounds interesting. the outback is always fun to watch. "a midsummer's night dream" is smth i wanted watch after i saw the posters. "paris je t'aime" sounds interesting. 20 film makers, one location, one helluva movie, i would think.
