The Long Kiss Goodnight

The Long Kiss Goodnight directed by Renny Harlin. The first time I saw this was at a very old theatre in the town I live in. My sister and I enjoyed it a lot, not only because it is a decent action film with a kick ass female lead, but also there was not one iota of heating in theatre and we were freezing our asses off (the film has a lot of icy, snowy scenes). Actually this is my sister's dvd!

Montage

 Montage directed by Jeung Geun Sub.  This is one of the films I have caught on the twist when the director wanted me to. Enjoyed it too but I don't think I'll be revisiting it anytime soon.

Alone

Alone This film is directed by Banjong Pisanthanakun and Parkpoom Wongpoom who also directed Shutter one of the few horror films that geniunely gave me the creeps. Now this is one of those films with a twist and I never saw it coming. Creeped me out but not as much as Shutter. 

Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier

Cold Mountain  This very cheap in Goodwill and I said to myself it is now or never. I didn't see the film and I don't want to because the book was very very good.

Fast and Furious Films

I had some bonus points in my credit card and I used some of them to purchase this. And it ended up being a happy purchase!

Paul Walker has passed away just before I was going to watch the last film. God rest his soul in peace.


The Fast and The Furious This was one of the only two I have watched in theatre. It is fun and entertaining but didn't leave much impression.

Too Fast Too Furious This one is my least fave in the series and not because it doesn't have Vin Diesel. It is such a toy film with the conflicts and consequences a bit cartoonish. It was still fun though.

Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift I like this one better since it is in Tokyo. The main lead in this film looked a lot older than a high school student and it kind of marred my viewing.

Fast and Furious Now this one was very entertaining and flowed by. Good action, decent acting better than all the rest I have put in so far.

Fast Five  This is probably my fave among all six. I felt for these guys and their conflicts seem too real. And I liked the fact that they are essentially trying to stop stealing and live like honest citiziens.

Furious Six This one is the one where things get bigger and not necessarily better. I didn't like the baddie and the whole thing felt a bit shallow and not as impressive. I actually dosed off somewhere towards the end.

The Third Lady

This is one of those I bought from a seconhand book store in San Francisco. Never heard of the novelist before but I'm all in for a decent mystery and like Japanese writers in English translation and since the book is actually small I have purchased more than one from this author.

 Now I took the photo at the end of November (either 27th or 28th) so I must have read it then.
It was not bad, not bad at all. I kind of saw the twist coming (recently this is happening to me more than I care for) but it didn't take away from the book. All in all it ended up being an enjoyable read.

New Year and I Hope to Be Better At Recording Stuff

Yes. I'm still so bad at putting the stuff I have read and watched out there. The books I have read in total is 17 in Good Reads and the fact that it is not correct bothers me somehow. And I have completely let this blog moldy. Well no time is better than the present right?

Good thing is that the phone records the date of the photos so I'll be able to track what I did when (that is if I bothered taking a photo, seriously just how long does it take to press a button???)

Off with the laziness on with dilligence.

I wonder whether I shall post in English or in Turkish? It will depend on how I feel like it I suppose. Maybe both??
