My Favorite Movies

Kung Fu Hustle

One of my all-time favorites movies... hilarious to describe it in one word. Directed by himself, actor, Stephen Chow has made it again after the hit "Shaolin Soccer". Watch it with your friends and family and you'll sure like it.

Before his death, the Emperor chooses Maximus to be his heir over his own son, Commodus, and a power struggle leaves Maximus and his family condemned to death. The powerful general is unable to save his family, and his loss of will allows him to get captured and put into the Gladiator games until he dies.

The Notebook
As a man (Garner) reads from a faded notebook to the woman (Rowlands) he regularly visits, his words bring to life the story of a couple (Gosling and McAdams) who are separated by World War II, then passionately reunited 7 years later, after they have taken different paths. Though her memory has faded, his words give her the chance to relive her turbulent youth and the unforgettable love they shared.

It's the long-awaited film version of the Broadway hit. Set in the roaring 20's, this is the story of Chicago chorus girl Roxie Hart (Zellweger), who shoots her unfaithful lover (West). Landing in jail, she meets Velma Kelly (Zeta-Jones), another chorus girl and murderess, currently enjoying media attention and legal manipulation, care of her attorney, Billy Flynn (Gere), king of the old "Razzle Dazzle." Soon enough, however, Flynn takes Roxie's case as well, and Velma finds herself old news as Roxie is now the most famous murderess in town, on her way to getting out of jail and becoming a star. The two go through a series of attempts at getting what they both want (often conflicting): freedom and fame.


My Sassy Girl
The connotation you might get from hearing the word "My Sassy Girl" is just a chick flick korean teenage movie, right? Well, it's not... In my opinion, this movie deserves an applause for its semi-kind of originality, unpredictable and enjoyable scenes. Cinematography wise, this movie is unlike most of the western movies which focused on artistic values, this movie has just a bit of it. Looking at the story itself, it is very touching and you will be curious on what will be the ending of the story.





So here goes my ten favorite movies to share you with. Although I still got heaps to share, I will leave you guys with this first ten flicks at the moment and soon, I'll be posting more. Enjoy your day!
