Mr Brooks and Me

Eversince My not-related-younger-brother got me a dvd copy of Mr Brooks from the states, I been considering whether to get a copy of my own.

"Huh" you might say ...

well there is this one reason that constantly bug the anal collector mentally in me (a secret between the buyer and me ... something he shouldn't had let me know) ...

and now! there is another good one to "buy (one) more" copy of Mr Brooks (in the upcoming economy downturn ... tsk tsk tsk). I just found out that there are lenticular cover for Mr Brooks and it seems like new re-release of the dvds. Kinda strange cos they didn't do well in the theatre box office and I don't think they did that well in the dvd sales & rental too. I hope I am wrong and this movie is picking steam in the dvd sales so the filmmakers might get to do their sequels / trilogy for Mr Brooks

In the meantime, I am hunting this one down

The Good The Bad and The Weird Soundtrack

Review
One of the most anticipated Korean Movie of 2008. Although I have yet to watch this movie, the soundtracks from the trailers had been an earworm since day 1. I also love the director's previous film A Bittersweet Life and it's soundtrack so I am betting that it's going to be just as geat.

Cost about $18 to $20 Sing Dollars
Rating: 4 Stars

Cost about $60 to $80 Sing Dollars

Review: The Pan Asian flick that got Andrew Lau, famous for Infernal Affair to cross over to Korea to work with 3 of the hottest stars in Korea. the End result was rather average flick but I heard that the limited edition which features the director cut and this cut with changes in editing made the whole film so much better, so i am quite interested to see how much better it became.

Want to get Sparrow OST

Unlike my OST siao friends, there are very few films OST that I truly want to get ... but as OST goes, they are often limited in numbers and once the movies that they represent expires from the promotion period, they too disappears from the shelves ... specially the good ones (the two OST that I want which is listed on the left side ... scroll down and you will see)

Anyway, watching Sparrow, I knew it's one OST that I want to get ... jazzy with a blend of Chinese music instruments that invokes the feeling of falling in love with a Bohemian ness to it
