i discover their works in a cinema in Phnom Penh, where i went into and i was alone in there, maybe with one of my friend but that was all. nobody watch Hollywood movie at that time. it was a small cinema for about 100 people i guess but it didn’t survive like any other big cinemas in Phnom Penh either.

that small cinema introduced me for the very first time a great movie from great director: Martin Scorsese and great actor: Robert De Niro. it was ‘Casino’, that i watched.

later i continues and researchs all their films and make collection all their works such as: Taxi Driver, Raging Bull …

now they will work together again for a new film ‘Paint Houses’.

we need more funny things and more fighting scenes from Kung Fu Panda,
especially the good comedy of Jack Black, and the voice from Angelina Jolie,
they both confirmed to remain the original voice cast,

well, you can wait a bit and then the Kung Fu Panda 2 will coming,
a bit of waiting but it’s good to take some time to do the good thing.

and this time it’s 3D, hope in Phnom Penh at that time we can have a cinema with 3D… i hope so.

Project of new short story: Pka Sbove - Flower of destiny

definition,
Sbove : (n) kind of grass (Saccharum spicatum) used for thatching roofs.

how many of you have seen Sbove? i guess everybody knows it. but have you ever seen its flower (Pka Sbove)?

when i said Pka Sbove, everybody asked me back,
Does Sbove has flower?

Yes it has, and there’s a romantic story about it.
I heard it one night, somebody told me about the story of Pka Sbove
and since then i can’t stop thinking about writing a story with the nature of Pka Sbove.

here is the story of Pka Sbove,

there’s a kind of Sbove that has flower. the flower grows and flourishes. when the time comes, the wind will blow the Pka Sbove from its trunk. some Pka Sbove got no chance. it touches the ground, plans itself and becomes the Sbove just next to their family. some lucky Pka Sbove is blew from trunk to trunk, from place to place. it flies in the wind, it travels from village to village, from province to province and sometime even from country to country. unlike any others Pka Sbove, the free Pka Sbove got chance to fly and see the world. only the destiny that can decide when it touches the ground. Once it touches the ground, it will become the Sbove and it will never be able to fly or go anywhere again.

i was old once orally and i never be able to hear it again. it’s the same like the story itself :-) there’s no second chance ! LOL

Synopsis: coming soon.
Characters: i wanted to write about a policeman, a backstage dancer, a security guard.
Category: drama/black/gangster story
Plot: Impossible love, Violence, Tragedy.
Target: As long as it get everything to be a good story.

ctnlogo_01 they will call it MYTV, another TV channel that will be launched soon in 2009 by CTN,
it was told it will focus more on the young audiences, and it seems to have intention to show music and the local teen dramas and provide some education programs.

to me, myself alone, i rarely watch Tv. just sometime when there’s nothing else to do. but it’s a good idea to have a good useful Tv channel but not only for the young people but also for uneducated person at the province. i hope people at the provide can watch also this new channel. i will wait to see how it will going for this new channel.

i did expect more from CJ7, but maybe for the young people, they might get more entertained than me :-)

i wish to see more scene and more comedy from Stephen Chow, i am his fan since i was young,

after school, it’s Stephen Chow movies and they all make me laugh but at the same time, there are a lot of idea hiding inside his jokes. some scenes might make the tears drop down your face. i remember a scene from a movie where he played the character that in a circumstance, he lost everything. it was a good memory for me when i re watch the old Stephen Chow movies. i collected all his old movies, maybe one day i can learn some of them to put in my new story.

Now it was announced that he will direct THE GREEN HORNET, a old movie used to play by Bruce LEE. it should be something good to wait again this time. the movie is planned to release in 2010.

2008527174025.1572499what we got from Hong Kong is mostly a Gangster movie, or supernatural or comedy but not many about something real to feel.

i think Ocean Flame is like the movie My Sassy Girl few years ago that have gave something new and completely different for Korean Cinema.

i hope Ocean Flame will make a new wave for Hong Kong cinema. it seems to have a good reception at Cannes and also for the European audiences. it’s now in the theater in Hong Kong since Sep 11 2008. i am waiting for find it here soon in Cambodia.

Ocean Flame Film Synopsis

Wang Yao was a shameless hoodlum and a blackmailer until one day he met a waitress named Lichuan. He thought Lichuan was like any other girls that could be controlled by him, but her stubbornness was way beyond his imagination.

As time goes by, they both lost their soul in the process. Wang Yao lost his freedom, while Lichuan lost her life.

Eight years later, Wang Yao stepped out from jail. He carried a gun and went to look for Lichuan’s mother, wishing to fulfill his own will…

RenDahua The film was produced by Simon Yam Tat-Wah, i think everybody would recognize his face, most of the time, he played  the bad guy. i really appreciate his idea to produce such a movie, to make us feel something fresh about Hong Kong cinema industry. i hope my Cambodia industry will, one day, have something new to show. it’s my dream deep inside my soul these day. well, let’s wait to see the movie.

because i said so

i’m single and i’m loving it.
i’m single and i’m loving it.
i’m single and i’m loving it.

all day long i just repeat this rule: i’m single and i’m loving it.

it did help me sometime. but when i watched by chance on Star Movie: because i said so, i want to have a partner.

Mandy Moor in this movie is making a real act and she is cable to show what is her reaction when she has the relationship with two men at the same time.

i love the scene where Johnny hiding in the dark with the flowers in his hands and wait until Milly finished the date with another guy Jason. He just asks her a question:

Did you sleep with this guy?
… Yes or No?

it was a touching scene, to show a man if he didn’t love her, he couldn’t standstill and wait just to ask this question. it’s also came from the great writer and director to produce such a romantic scene. i love few scenes in this movie.

Gabriel Macht and Mandy Moor in a scene of because i said so

this is the first time i saw Gabriel Macht in the movie, he is great to hide everything inside him. Mandy Moor also performed very well to show such a confusing feeling and the ambition to have these two guys in her hands.

it’s a good movie to watch if you have time i guss. they have some very good scene but but plot and intention of the movie, of course it’s a bit for women only :-)
