"Crash" winning this years Oscar? Give me a break! Ann Lee won the Best Director award. It is so obvious that the directing in Crash is not masterful enough, so that they have to separate the Best Picture and Best Director awards this time if they want to give the Best Picture to Crash for the subject matter. But is Crash deserve this award for itself, comparing with all the other nominees? The answer is no. The film is not bad, it did well on...

Even days after the film, I still feel heartbreaking whenever I thought of the story. I think the film came out at a very important turning point of human society: you can either accept homosexuality and live on, or deny it and become history. What impressed me most was not the social significance of the movie, nor was the beautiful scenery of the open mountains, rather, it is the convincing sad love story between the two men. It is always difficult to make a film that tells a REAL love story. Almost impossible to put...

For Harry Potter lovers, the 4th one should be even better. Simply because the 4th book is the best. I have to admit, the Goblet of Fire is a difficult book to adapt. There are several stories. All of them are exciting and rich in characters. Putting them altogether in a two something hour movie will never be easy. But what I saw last weekend was not anything I was expecting. There is no excuse for make such a bad film out a wonderful book. With $10 wasted, I would...

What a great idea! But to some people, the idea was and is annoying. Why? Because it is free. Therefore, Google gets sued. And this is the second time. From very early years of industrialization, some people, whom I'd like to call Profiters, started to make money out of anything. While clearly a lot of things should never be sold, the product line of those Profiters soon includes arts & sciences, health care, education and anything, even...

Suddenly I realized being a writer is no easy job. I think the hardest thing they are doing everyday is to observe and think. Then it is really a bitter work to put the story and thoughts down on the paper. Fact checks, searching memories, making sure everything is understandable and beautiful. Maybe there is no task in the world that can be called a "easy job". http://mpdf.blogdrive.com/comments?id=47 http://mpdf.blogdrive.com/archive/46.html Tue, 09 Aug 2005 19:43:12 GMT 前几天看了LZJ发的500部电影列表，才发现 Ingmar...
