October begins today, how has everyone been? Holidays coming up soon and I bet your just as eager as I am but before we do that lets see what I have been up to.
Watched a few HK movies last month and most likely watching a lot this holiday as well =D
Shinjuku Incident is one of which I watched. Although there are quite a lot of reviews out there which dislike this movie I personally think its awesome because it incorporates 2 of my favourite cultures into it that is Japan and HK. Good for anyone learning Japanese haha.
The movie is set in Shinjuku, Tokyo and is about the life of illegal chinese immigrants which go to Shinjuku in hope for a better future however this becomes troublesome as they not only have to avoid the police because of their identity but also to beware the Japanese street gangs which control the area. Shinjuku Incident has an entertaining storyline and I love almost any movie that feature the Japanese Mafia in it. Must watch for those action movie fans.
A more recent movie which I watched was the above movie called Accident, notice the pun on the wallpaper above. "Accident happening on 24 Sep" Fair smart I quite like it.
The movie however was a bit dissapointing, the ideas and concepts that it had were quite clever and it will be things that you have never thought of however the way it was presented was not top notch. It is more of an arty film rather than a popular one, one that gets awards if you know what I mean. The movie is about a group of people who get paid to assasinate specific people, however what is special is not who they assasinate but rather how they do it.
Like the title suggests this clever group of people plots the murder and stages it like an accident therefore cops cannot trace them. The complication arises when one of the group members have been run overed by a bus..fearing the existance of another "accidental" murder group hunting them, they search for answers....
Overall if you like movies that make you think, then you should watch it otherwise dont waste your time paying for it. Just download ;)
The final movie I will be reviewing about is also fairly recent and the translation for it is called "Overheard". This is also not a brilliant movie as it was too predictable and the producers worried too much about effects rather than improving the storyline.
I found it a tad boring at times but you cannot really expect much since it is a low budget movie. Once again I suggest you only to watch it as a download-then-trash type of movie.
The 3 male characters as shown in the wallpaper above are a group which work under the HK police. Their jobs are to record and surveilance the targets issued by their bosses.
Things change when during one of their shifts they record footage that a particular stock will increase over quadruple the amount. This leads to them caught between the police and the criminal who is responsible for the stocks. Not on the good or bad side what do they do?
Guess you'll just have to watch it if your interested
Almost forgot, as mentioned in my last blog I performed my composition at school. Turned out pretty good. To the people which I never had a chance to show it to I recorded it today just for you guys that missed out. Its my first composition ever so I gave it a very special name....First Touch
Professional? =P
On a negative note...
Just recently we have global disasters impacting upon us again...although it does not directly affect us but we should cherish our existence and that we are all very lucky to be here.
Tsunami has killed over 100 people in Samoa and if you think that is not enough...an earthquake in Indonesia which has killed over 600 people happened yesterday afternoon as well (Wednesday seems to be disaster day following last week's dust storm that Australia has not seen in 80 years, something to think about). This is also why I propose to make this blog...I want you guys to feel how lucky we all are. Whenever you are feeling down or blue just know that there is always people out there worse than you.
Wish those countries heal from their devastating events soon...
That is it for now, blog more in the holidays ;)
