The Day the Earth Stood Still
Well, it did for me. Keanu Reeves walking down a hallway with a suit on. Oh Em Gee. I know time stopped for me. I didn’t want it to end.
Could he be any hotter over 40? Could he?? And look at that rain…and Jennifer Connelly is soooooo cute in this movie too.
Anyhow, Keanu is pretty good in this movie because he gets to talk choppy and be all “awkward human” like.
The movie itself was reeeally pretty, special effects are great, the plot wasn’t boring and wasn’t too long. The ending was a little abrupt though. Could have used more Keanu.

I stumbled across this singer while browsing through yesasia.com for new music, and waiting on Wang Leehom’s new album. She looked interesting, and original, so I acquired her music and I’m very glad that I did. The song that I’m drooling over at the minute is her first track “Farewell Song”. It actually has some vocals from Hebe of S.H.E., which I found out later. Kind of an extra bonus, but I really can’t tell when she’s singing. Also, this song is based on Chopin’s Etude op. 10 no. 3

Her voice is so old style. Something my mom would listen to, but it’s produced in such a way that I don’t feel old listening to it. In my mind, this girl is wearing a traditional Chi-pow (CheongSam), but floating in space in an astronaut suit…reaching out into space and singing. And this is all in sepia. With like…that old film scratch stuff. It feels like one of those weird Wong Kar Wai movies…and maybe throw in some confusing philosophical dialogue in there.
