Movies

I started watching some movies again recently.
I have not had much time to watch films so it was nice to relax a bit and watch some.

I watched "Choke", "Valkyrie" and "Push".

Choke was pretty funny.
The main character is a sex addict with delusions of grandeur so I could relate.

Valkyrie was based on the true story of the assassination attempts on Hitler by Germans during WWII. I have always have a deep interest in that period of history and despite the fact the movie had embellishments of course, I quite enjoyed it. Tom Cruise who has been much made fun of in the news for the last few years for being a bi/homosexual religious nutjob was the star of the show.
I must say he did a very good job. So good the thought of his religious fever never once entered into my brain during the film. I may not agree with his belief system but he is not a bad actor. I am however very happy Tim Burton passed him for the role of Edward Scissorhands.

Last and least was "Push".
It was basically an extended episode of "Heroes" minus Sylar and his cool music. Actually I think if they combined the TV show and this movie it would be perfect. Heroes just often feels like hokey drama BS where as this film was lacking the zing and... I don't know, the flavor? Hard to explain.

The most memorable and best part of "PUSH" and what really kept me watching it was Xiao Lu Li aka POP GIRL.

What can I say. Obviously it is a deadly combo for me. Shes got everything.
Shes kinda evil. She has a lollipop in her mouth throughout almost the whole film. Shes a psychic and most importantly........ she has wicked dimples.

Her blog (link above) has 1000000 photos for your viewing pleasure.
Apparently she is fluent in English. Which means that we will hopefully get to see her in more international films. I read a bit of her blog thanks to the wonders of technology. It seems shes pretty lonely.

Well Ms. Li, if you ever find yourself sitting next to me on a plane, feel free to ask me for a lollipop, Candiman has got you covered. We can trade stories about being on stage. However I am pretty sure the stages we have been on could not be much more different.
