eddie's movies

This is just a bit of silliness, really. ________________________________________________________________

i've been stocking up on videos to watch, either borrowing or renting them, in preparation of the end of world cup season. and finally ended it has. another lonnng 4 years wait will now ensue, all the time keeping the hope that brazil will obtain world cup glory once again in 2010 africa. suddenly videos are all the rage again for me; just take a look at what i have/am going to/tried to watch:

whole series of Firefly (albeit incomplete)
Stir of Echoes
Serenity
Elizabethtown
The Shining
Finding Neverland
Eulogy
The Client
A Midsummer Night's Dream

haha, the list doesn't look so long now that i wrote it down. i'm wondering whether i should rent the real madrid movie as well. i really want to watch it but i'm afraid that it'll be a waste of money, which i havent much of left. sigh. considerations, hesitations..

Movie recommendation of the moment: Thank You for Smoking
i think it's a really intelligent movie, the scriptwriter must be some kinda genius, to be able to twist and turn the english language the way he did. haha i was pretty blown away. Talent, not hardwork, is what distinctly differentiates one from another. now, wish i had some of that...

Video recommendation of the moment: Finding Neverland
i dont know, but something hit me during the movie when kate winslet died and i started tearing. the dialogue was nothing too special, but the acting! it was very powerful, especially johnny depp. personal favourite scene of the movie is the "Just the Dog" scene, where johnny depp breaks into a waltz with porthos, his 'bear' and all the clowns start dancing across the great ballroom floor. I love it. Esp the clowns, and their little dances.

from the scene as well:

Peter: This is absurd. It's just a dog.

J.M.Barrie (Johnny Depp): Just a dog? Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he's just a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That's like saying, "He can't climb that mountain, he's just a man", or "That's not a diamond, it's just a rock." Just.
