Music Movies

Not talking about musicals but shows with a good number of songs in it. I was thinking about the movie Music and Lyrics when this idea come into the mind, did they produce the songs before or during production.

There are probably a few songs which can be composed before productions such as the main theme song, Way Back Into Love, and some of Cora's songs. Some small little sound like Love Autopsy will have to fit in the script and guess is it quite difficult to come out with the song to match the script etc.

Someone homemade clip on youtube

Artist: Hugh Grant & Haley Bennet
Song: Way Back Into Love Lyrics

Haley:
Ive been living with a shadow over head
Ive been sleepin with a cloud above my bed
Ive been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just cant seem to move on

Hugh:
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just incase I ever need them again someday
Ive been setting aside time,to clear a little space in the cornners of my mind

chorus:
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I cant make it through without a way back into love
ohh

Haley:
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
Ive been searching but I just dont see the signs
I know that its out there
Theres got to be something for my soul somewhere

Hugh:
I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody to get me through the night
I could use some direction, and I'm open to your suggestions

Chrous
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I cant make it through without a way back into love
and If I open my heart again
I guess Im hopin you'll be there for me in the end
Haley:
There are moments when I dont know if its real
or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration, not just another negotiation

Chorus:
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I cant make it through without a way back into love
and If I open my heart to you
Im hopin you'll show me what to do
and if you help me to start again
you know that I'll be there for u in the end

Music and Lyrics

Watched the movie Music and Lyrics, starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore.

Nice movie! It has a simple premise and a standard plot. As the story moves along, you can almost half predicted the next move. The ending was a bit different than what I expected. Lots of music and songs in the show, which surprising sounds very good despite the 80's feeling and sound.

Had a good time watching show with A. Actually this is a movie that I may not exactly watch but turned out to be a gem. Good reviews from colleagues makes things easier to say yes to A's request to watch it.

Nonetheless, it is worth watching it and thanks dear. Hee, else I would not have watch ti also

[translation]

I don’t know when it all started
When my head became dizzy with thoughts of you
These thoughts would often pop up in my mind
I feel anxious as my heart expands towards you

It’s nothing.. it’s just a little thing
Your words are awkward to me

Is it love? If you feel the same way, is it a beginning?
My heart keeps saying it loves you
It screams out for the whole world to hear
Why has it taken so long for me to hear it~?
We’ve finally met.. finally found love

If I wanted to show you how I feel
The only way would be for you to become me

I’m already inside of you
Just like you’re inside of me

To each other [to each other]
We may already be too accustomed

Is it love? If you feel the same way, is it a beginning?
My heart keeps saying it loves you
It screams out for the whole world to hear
Why has it taken so long for me to hear it~?
We’ve finally met.. finally found love

When I think about it [when I think about it]
I realize how many moments there were when my heart trembled
I’ll try as harder as I was late in realizing my feelings
I’ll be with you, I’ll only give you fond memories
Please don’t ever leave me again
Even the shortest moments without you make me uneasy
Please stay by me~

I already love you so much (you’re the only one)

Movie to catch

Hollow man 2. The cave. The dark. The descent. Take the lead. Inside man. A sound of thunder. Death tunnel. Black pearl. Recycle. Rumor has it.

Disappointing soccer movie

Got some free tickets (via some kind souls in my department) to watch a soccer movie. No. It is not the movie Goal!. That is a bit old and also not Football Hooligans (or simply Hooligans). It is the up and coming movie Real (starting in Singapore early February). The Spanish name is Real, la película, translated as Real, the film.

My opinion on the film is, if you are a Real Madrid fan, good show for you; Soccer fan, normal so-so show and luckily only 1.5 hr only; Non-Soccer watching, what are you doing here wasting your money.

The movie is almost a propaganda film to promote Real Madrid, a money-earning vehicle in my view. It features the 2004-2005 Real Madrid Team which still includes Michael Owen.

There is perhaps 2 main storylines in the movie. One is the preparation works leading to the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona which Real Madrid won 4-2. The other is a history teacher who moved to Madrid and experienced first hand the excitement and the passion of soccer, although it is specifically to Read Madrid.

The other side stories told of different reasons on why fans love Real Madrid. One is the Beckham factor or the idol factor, shown by a Japanese school girl almost breaking up with her boyfriend over David Beckham. The boyfriend eventually learns to accept and then ignore the idolism by his girlfriend and fit in well.

The English female amateur soccer player, who had a serious right knee injury, looks at Ronaldo as inspiration and determination to overcome her injury and idolizes him.

The Senegal father who was said to travel 60km (2 days journey) to watch Real Madrid play and then back home (another 60km) to relates the match to his son. He then manage to enroll his son, who cannot concentrate on his studies due to obsession with playing soccer, to a Unicef – Real Madrid sponsored Soccer Academy for studies and learning soccer.

The last story is of family relations torn apart by the love of Real Madrid. A grandfather is one of the kidnappers who kidnap Real Madrid’s star player, Alfredo Di Stefano, nicknamed “The Blonde Arrow”. His son never forgives him and deny the existence of his father to his own son. By chance, the grandfather and grandson met and forge their new relationship by soccer and their passion for Real Madrid.

In all, it is a disappointing show. Though it is about Real Madrid but the method is too documentary. Maybe this is due to it being the official Real Madrid movie. Editing was poor. Scene changes illogically at times. As mentioned, view it only if you are a Real Madrid fan.

Movies galore!

Watched 2 movies for the past 2 fridays at TBP with A. First up is The Chronicles of Narnia : The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. The next is In Her Shoes, starring Cameron Diaz. Both are movie adaptions of books.

The Chronicles of Narnia was adapted from a series of children books written by CS Lewis, friend of J. R. R. Tolkien, writer of the series Lord of the Rings. The 2nd book from the Chronicles of Narnia was taken and made into the movie. Comments from colleagues and friends about this show was that it is too kiddish. One main reason for this comment was probably due to the fact that this is a children's book and not adult fiction. Comparisions made to Lord of the Rings is like comparing a child and an adult. Harry Potter was actually catered more to Teenagers and appeal to Young Adults. Themes explored certainly is too deep for children and hence better appreciated by Teenagers and Young Adults. If you was to think of the movie as a movie for children, an adaption of a children's book, you will enjoy the show immensely. I read the Chronicles of Narnia when I was a teenager or even younger but I enjoy the book lots and hence the movie too.

In Her Shoes, an adaption of a book also, was pretty good also. Maybe due to the adaption and limited screen time, I feel something is lacking in the movie. Perhaps it is the fleshing out of characters or the plot needs some strengthening. 2 sisters of very different qualities clashes and then come back together stronger after knowing and meeting their grandmother. Nevertheless is a good movie recommended by A. Thanks dear. :)

Interesting Movies I have watched..

This is not a list of movies i like most or whatever. Rather more of some of the more interesting movies i watched and the feelings I felt, the story being told or the implications.

Please refrain from reading this post as it will contain some spoilers and may spoil your taste for the show.

Basically I watched the DVDs of these movies which I rented online from here. Good way to catch up on a lot of shows! Available for Singapore only!

Saw
A man when desperate will do anything, esp if the stakes involved are his family. It also shows how much a perverted mind can be and how elaborate the game can be setup.

The Green Mile
A moving story where a gentle giant was thought to have raped and murdered 2 children and was sentenced to death. He was brought to the prison where he touched the wardens and prisoners alike. It is real sad to see him die for something he has not done.

The Village
A farce. The whole village and traditions are all a farce. Opting to choose a simple life, away from the perils of urban life, this peaceful village was broken when an intellectually-disabled man accidentally mortally wounded another man. The blind lover sought to find medicine and probably due to her disability, she was given permission to be out to the modern world and collects some medicine to save her lover.
