Movie Time

I finally had time to watch all these movies that I got from Netflix over past weekend. They are all great fun and I would personally recommend these movie to everybody.

Penelope...Let's see where should I start! I love this cute/fairy tale movie so much! It is a little modern fairy tale film that full of color, great scence, soundtrack and James McAvoy. It is a story about a girl whose got a pig nose curse which passed along from her great great great grandfather . She (more like her mother) looks for real love (with blue blooded hottie) that will help her break the curse and make the cute piggy nose disappear. She finally founds real love with a boy who loves her for who she is (hottie James Macavoy oh la la) but doesn't have what she needs. (blue blooded or money). I don't want to ruin the ending so please watch the movie. The ending of the song was one of my ave songs of all time by Sigur Ros, Hoppipolla. Adding to the cute storyline, the movie filmed in London and all the details from props, costume, music and scene compliment the ideas of the movie, Modern Fables.



Next movie is Kamikaze Girl. Japanese movie about odd friendship between Yaki girl, Ichigo (Anna Tsuchiya) and Lolita girl, Momoko (Kyoko Fukada). The movie focus on each character and who they are and what they like and why they are the way they are. It shows a special bonds between two different character who grew up in differnt environment and who decided and made their own path and faith. It is very imaginative and cartooney. If you don't mind reading subtitle, check it out. It will make you smile and laugh and think about your childhood and old friends.



Next movie is a french animation Persepolis which is based on Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical graphic novel. It is a coming of age story about iranian revolution, war, way of life of iranian in those time. It is a great film that will educate you and change the way you think about countries that seem to be in war forever. It changes the perception about these countries.
