Gotta Love Those Movies

I find it funny how I discovered the luscious taste of toast and butter in Taiwan....instead of in the US where the abundant staple resides. On the other hand, I first bought a frappuccino from Starbucks in Taiwan...and I'm sure I can list a lot more if I put my mind to it.

Call me an idiot.

But back to the real topic: MOVIES!!!!!

Man, sitting here typing in this blog just makes me wish I was still in America. By now, I would have watched with all my friends "WALL-E", "Wanted", "Hancock"....and probably "Hellboy II". But no, I'm stuck in a non-English country typing into an English blog in an English speaking hotel with English TV but no new English movies.

I hate the irony of it all.

Hopefully WALL-E will still be playing at the Cerritos Town Center when I get back...I really hope I don't have to go all the way down to Long Beach. However, from what I've heard of Pixar outdoing themselves yet again, it might be worth the trip. After all, who can resist this face?
Isn't he cute? Don't deny it.

On a positive note, I will definitely be watching "The Dark Knight" in Taiwan. It is, after all, the only movie that is opening in Taiwan at the same time as it will in America (a day earlier, to be exact).





With an impressive array of actors (rumors are already flying about Heath Ledgers possible posthumous Oscar nomination), meticulous directing, and IMAX style action sequences, "The Dark Knight" has already garnered early rave reviews.

I'm sure it won't disappoint.

Animated adventure and superhero films aside, a good comedy is hard to come by these days. "Tropic Thunder" hopes to end this drought with an original screenplay and all star cast. Who can pass on Robert Downey Jr. (practically unrecognizable from his tech savvy role of Tony Stark in "Iron Man") trying to act black?
