Charlie and the Chocolate Factory



Tim Burton的電影,也差不了去那裡(就算很爛的Mars Attacks!也有可取之處)。本片改自Roald Dahl的兒童故事書,格局和其他荷李活片一樣,但Tim Burton還是保持一貫的奇幻,一貫的充滿黑色幽默。他再找老拍檔Johnny Depp當主角是沒錯的,Johnny Depp將那份森沉自我又詼諧的形象表現出來。故事一方面說凡事可成真,一方面也在教訓小朋友不要太自大太自我太貪吃……總之就是在說教。其實我邊看邊有點不安,Johnny Depp將一個個"頑"童教訓,我真有點受不了這種"教育"呢。作為一齣一家大小看的電影,那是稱職非常,起碼電影院裡的笑聲不絕呢。

不過我還是期待Tim Burton九月的Corpse Bride多得多呢。 =)

last stop: this town

環過半個地球,跨過了半個歐洲,我還是回到了來,last stop說到底始終是this town。離開,原來不是為了回來,是不得不回來。沒有幻想過到外地讀書、工作或者居住,對於在一個陌生的地方生活,面對著不知的四周,我想我最後會抑鬱而死的。生在這裡,看來也是死在這裡……

paris in my eyes

busy busy busy and chaotic chaotic chaotic...It is pretty much like Hong Kong, but with confusing metro network, stupid signs. I never never fantastize it's a romantic place as it supposed to be, but I never suppose it is such a mess. Except for this, I don't have much to say because it's pretty much like the other part of Europe, just more modern and with more different race in the city than the others. So, that's paris in my eyes...
