Been such a long time since I last updated my blog!
It's a new year! And I shall start with a minimum of an entry per week ? How about that ? Minimum of one meaning you might see more than one per week! hee hee~
Caught 2 movies in the past 2 weeks, namely "Proof" and "Dreamer".
Ben Crane (Kurt Russell) was once a great horseman, whose gifts as a trainer are now being wasted on making other men?s fortunes. So¤ador?called Sonya?was a great horse whose promising future on the racetrack is suddenly cut short by a career-ending broken leg. Considered as good as dead to her owner, who also happens to be Ben?s boss, Sonya is given to Ben as severance pay, along with his walking papers.
Now, it will take the unwavering faith and determination of Ben?s young daughter, Cale (Dakota Fanning), to bring these two damaged souls together in a quest for a seemingly impossible goal: to win the Breeders? Cup Classic. However, the true miracle might be that, in helping this injured horse, what they are actually healing is their own family.
Gwyneth Paltrow lights up the screen as Catherine, a young woman who has given up a seemingly bright future in order to take care of her ailing father, Robert (Anthony Hopkins), a formerly brilliant mathematician who went crazy. After he dies, Catherine's closed-off world is invaded by Hal (Jake Gyllenhaal), a young mathematician who worshipped Robert, and Claire (Hope Davis), her successful sister who fears that Catherine is too much like their father--a talented, supremely intelligent person with severe mental problems. During the last years of his life, Robert filled 103 notebooks with his writings, but one of them, written during a brief period of lucidity, could turn the math world on its head, while also threatening Catherine's already wavering sanity.
Of the two, personally I preferred "Dreamer".
"Dreamer" basically revolves around this horse called "Sonador", and I had this thing for horse.
Partly influenced by Rong, my ex, who loves horse to a great deal, and partly by my horse riding experience when I went to Hua Hin in Thailand. It was a wonderful experience to ride a horse without anyone pulling it (but of course there were still people supervising in case of danger).
Shall not disclosed the storyline ye ? There's still alot of people who hadn't watch it, go on, is a nice show~
"Proof" is nice too! Similar to "A Beautiful Mind", all talk about Maths~ I know some of you people out there will dread when the word "maths" is mentioned, but hey is a nice movie man~ But a bit too short and it ends quite abruptly! But the acting of Gwyneth Paltrow was really EXCELLENT! Her acting skills make up what the movie may seem short in other parts.
I still got quite a lot of shows to catch, the Heirloom, Narnia, Kingkong etc, think I gonna have a lot of chances to catch shows alone liao! hehe~
And now I need to get back to think about my new layout for this website~ hmmpf~! >_<"
