...unless you happen to be living in my hometown, where the latest movies always have the word "pocong" or "hantu" in them, and the latest Hollywood flick to be watched here are Hellboy II and... Dragonball Evolution. *shivers*
Recession bites, and weirdly enough, this is one of the places where I felt it bit the deepest. No new movies. Nada. After I got back from the US in September, the newest movie was Sex and the City. And oh, about a month ago, 27 Dresses was finally playing in cinemas! Uh... yay? So what do I do? There are movies, and there are movies that I simply must watch in cinemas. Doubt was among them. I stubbornly waited for it to be played here, but then realized I just might as well wait for humanity to proceed to the next step of evolution and developed supernatural abilities, so I submit to the inevitable: buy the bootlegged DVD. Oh, wait. The DVD's not out yet! Ergo, bootlegged.
What can one poor man do?
Well, I'll just put up a list of movies that I want to watch in 2009 here. Hopefully, at least #1 will make it to the theaters here...
1. Up (May). Pixar's upcoming movie. 'Nuff said.
2. Where The Wild Things Are (October). Directed by the ever whimsical Spike Jonze. And since I love his works, (except his last movie The Fall, which seriously fell flat on its own rapture) I simply have to watch it. The trailer reminds me so much of The Neverending Story, another favorite childhood movie of mine.
3. Away We Go (June). Directed by Sam Mendes, who directed American Beauty, personally the best movie yet I've ever seen in my life.
4. Terminator Salvation (May). Under such stressful times today, I bet a lot of people feel they could just blow stuffs up. I'll just watch this movie.
5. Drag Me to Hell (May). I've been having a bad case of horror movie itch lately. I hope Sam Raimi can scratch it with this.
And... that's that! For now, at least.
