eddie's movies

the benefits of scv ________________________________________________________________

watched a few older movies recently! what a blast. though not all of them were great films or anything but i just like to watch movies from the 80's and early 90's. i just absolutely love the old film quality - a little faded colour and less-than-sharp images. Quality may not be at best, but it gives me a sense of warmth the way CGI filled films cannot ever do. like Vinyl records and Cds. anyway, the list of movies are:

Footloose
Picture Perfect
The River Wild
Blind Date
Cape Fear
Bridget Jones : The Edge of Reason
Blind Date
White Chicks
X2: X-Men United

if no one has realised, the first three films have the same lead: Kevin Bacon. i totally and absolutely adoree him :D he makes every movie watchable, just like Tom Hanks. Even if the movie sucks completely, cast anyone of them precious jems as the lead and the film will be salvaged. Back on Kevin Bacon, he can really act in -any- role and excel. Be it the wicked, sexually deprived prison warden (Sleepers), emotionally n physcially abused and extremely mentally unstable prisoner (Murder in the first), loving but clueless to-be dad (She's having a baby), to pole swinging gymnast & rock n roll enthusiast cum dancer(Footloose). He's simply wonderful and i think everyone should catch all his movies if they have a chance. I believe he's one of the most underrated actors of his time. give the man his due credit please! rawr.

i really wanted to watch his latest movie Where the truth lies, but it was rated R21. shitty. and i found out that the Slither shown in cinemas is a censored version. If not it'd probably be R21 as well. It makes me pissed on how protective the censorship board is in singapore. I mean, if you want a matured society who can think for themselves n make good decisions(including during general elections) then you'd better start treating us like one. dont censor anything and everything. Given the ton of money you spend on our education, i'm sure i'll be discerning enough to know what is just for entertainment, what is only acceptable on film and right from wrong.

Bridget Jones, White Chicks and X men 2 were all second and above viewings. that means i've watched them more than once. I think that's my problem. no matter how many times i've watched a movie, i can always watch it again. of course, provided that it isnt horrible and plain trashy. that trait has made me a bona fide couch potato - minus all the fats :p but to me, you can never really catch all the subtleties or little details that all help build the storyline. So multiple viewings can help. the Bridget jones romance was as sweet as ever, i Love Colin Firth. he's the most perfect boyfriend. ifbridget jones was real i'd tell her, i'm waiting for my mark darcy as well, i'm so glad you've found yours. And if having wobbly bits meant i'd find a human rights lawyer boyfriend like Colin Firth i'd happily gorge myself silly. keep fantasizing, edna...poo. White Chicks was, strangely, more funny when i watched it the second time. The more i think about the silly jokes, the funnier they get. lol. and this time, i watched with my dad. haha. He seemed pretty grossed out by the two black-white chicks, but i think he enjoyed it as well. haha.

and oh yes, i think Brad Renfro is gorgeous. esp when he was young. now he's put on a lot of weight i think from all that drugs and booze and wat not. sadly.
