I just saw Hachiko: A Dogs Tale. This is from 2009 but I never saw it. It has Richard Gere in it and has a Japanese influence.  At least, this is where the dog comes from. I think this is an independent film but is really well done. Some of these studios turn out better pictures than the bigger ones do.  Here is the link from Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachi:_A_Dog%27s_Tale. |

Watched the first half of Full Metal Jacket with my darling wife last night. If we have time tonight, she finally gets to find out where " Me love you long time" comes from.  |

They just posted the first three seasons of Big Bang Theory on the school's intranet. Have to download it per episode. Speed per episode is.....wait, let me check...
20 seconds for Season 1 Episode 1.
Last week, walking walking by one of the Chinese teacher's classrooms, I saw she was showing this. On my QQ, I've seen a couple of students mention in their status message that they are TBBT fans.
I guess it's the new Friends.
Off to watch S1E1.

four lions was kinda funny. Apparently there's a sequel to East is East coming out too, if you're into the post colonial kinda comedies.
Anyway, the reason I decided to take time out of my busy lunch hour, is to say just how bloody awesome Master Chef is. I love it, and it's really nice to see such awesome looking food after eating rice constantly for months. I wish they'd do a Master Chef China

Just finished "Treme". Set in New Orleans, LA right after Katrina. Takes awhile to warm up, but the last two episodes were great. The depiction of the "Indian" culture during Mardi Gras and St. Joseph's Day was truly enlighening and inspired.

Have recently seen two movies which I really recommend. "Snowtown" is an Australian movie about John Bunting, Australia's most notorious serial killer. As described by one of the movie critics, it is "an absolutely mesmerising, uncompromising crime movie masterpiece" The other movie was "Oranges and Sunshine" by the producer of "The king's Speech" was also a powerful real life story. It is an extraordinary TRUE story of the child migrants, one of the most significant social scandals of our time. Children were taken from England and sent to Australia. Some of you may have read the book "Empty Cradles" by Margaret Humphrey. I see about three new movies a week, but I am rarely touched by any of them. These two are really worth seeing, particularly by the Aussies and Brits out there.  |
