Happy Leap Year!

So today is quite special because it only come every four years. Sometimes, I just wonder what would happen to me in the next leap year...have I achieved my dreams and where would I be?

Well, enough is enough about my blabbering life but what I want to share about Academy Awards, mostly about films and actors that win the award. Well, I only manage saw part of ceremony in hotel but for this year, there's no surprise at all, as The Artist has won for best picture. Well it won every awards prior to Oscar so is there any surprise at all?

For some reasons, sometimes I make myself to watch some of nominated movies whether for the best picture or best actor or actress. Well, I guess I just want to judge whether the movies or actors are that good and worth to support to. Some movies also did change my perception and understanding of the world. Below are some of my favourites nominated movie that won the awards:



The Blindside 

One of my favourite movies of all time. I can watch it over and over again without fail and Sandra Bullock did deserve the Oscar. The movie is based on real story of Michael Oher who is an NFL player that being adopted my Tuohy's family. I learn that you have to believe in people, and their kindness. Sometimes, I do "obsessing" with the real people of the story just to find out whether it is really happen, and indeed after many hours in youtube watching their interviews, I feel that When I feel down, I do watch it to make me believe in people again. I do recommended this movie to everyone to see it.



The Help

I forced myself to watch this movie as I heard that it is a very good movie, and indeed it is. I watched it on flight on the way back from Osaka and never regret it a bit. Well, shed some tears and luckily no one saw it as they busy sleeping hehe. Viola Davis did give a good performance but Octavia Spencer did steal the show. What I can say that I can see a chocolate pie in a different way now...err...





The Sixth Sense

The one and only thriller film that I like. I hate "seram" movies because I tend to imagine it when I go to sleep. It is up for Best Direction, Film and Best Actor in 1999. I was so stunned on the surprise ending and have to re-watch again just to put the clues back together. Still if I watch the movie, I need to hide behind my hand or pillow and make sure I go to youtube to watch funny videos (HIMYM or Scrubs) just to let it disappear from my mind.





The Social Network

Well, of course you need to see this movie as it depicted the famous trend right now, the facebook. I think that Jessie Eisenberg (love him in Rio) has done a fair portrayal of Mark Zukerberg and played it brilliantly. You feel sorry and sometimes annoying at his character but in the end the real person  portrayed is still filthy rich. Justin Timberlake also is not bad  in the movie. The actors in the movie have somehow manage to become even bigger for example, Justin got lot movie deals after that, Andrew Garfield become Spiderman and Winklevoss twins, Armie Hammer has manage to become a leading man in adaptation movie of Sleeping Beauty, Mirro- Mirro with Julia Robers and Lily Collins.

Well, I guess there are move good movies to watch and right now I'm trying to get myself to watch The Decesdant (George Clooney) and also Moneyball (Brad Pit). Wish I have time to do it!
