Movies, movies, movies!

Reading so many reviews about television shows and movies lately made me feel immune to the many healthy worthwhile good things about life. But hey life is full of ups and downs. It's like going up and down the stairs. It's like the stock market flipping ^ and then v.

The great wonders of " V" is that it always stands for VICTORY.

It could mean only for one thing and one thing only. My NAME. Aahahhahaha!

So I had so much pain watching two movies lately or recently. The first one is the movie of Meryl and Baldwin including Steve Martin. Not a very happy movie where Steve used to be the butt of the jokes. This time it's a tear jerker for the jerks. I mean it is the story of a normal family in suburban wisteria lane where a normal happy families end up in divorce. Well in this movie the divorced woman with 3 kids happened to have "fun" with her estranged husband. Actually the husband is married already to another woman with another child. Yeah didn't say whether the child is his own though. Anyway the former husband and wife had an "affair." Then it becomes complicated because the kids are not over yet with the hurt and pain inflicted on with the divorce meaning psychological and emotional wounds are still fresh in their hearts and mind. I guess their young minds too immature for the "torment or torture of their divorce." Or maybe one false move they have to make will also have the chain reaction inflicted on the second wife and son of Baldwin in that movie. Then here comes Steve Martin who likes Meryl and they seemed had that so called "MU " over a sting of "weeds." What makes the former husband and wife had that MU moment is over glass of alcohol. What does it mean?

Any psychologist will also demand an answer from those involved that the relationship is based on "vices and lust." Nothing more nothing less. But that's how relationship is built with some people. Sad story! Hmm who the writer of that movie? Dunno. But there are true stories like that you know... I think most of those stories with the same plot happened in the US during the war in Vietnam where teenagers, most of them tried those experimental drugs so that they can get away from the government's enlistment to the Volunteer work at the time of war.

Next is the movie " Eat, Love and Pray." Julia Roberts is no longer that "Pretty Woman" she is now your dearly beloved Mother or Grandma image. People grow old. All of us and in this movie Julia tried to divorce her husband and travelled to Bali, Indonesia and met a fortune teller (?) or a medicine man (?) named Kentu. The old man revealed her future through her palm. He said that she'll be or get broken after the travel which is true. Anyway she had so much fun in Italy. It looks like an old, very old metropolis now. It doesn't have the appeal that it needs that's why a new Venice was built in Macau. Did you know that?

The landlady who showed her the unit told her that Americans when they come to Italy they always look for "pasta and sausage." She's probably in Vienna. The next day Julia was seen rushing for cappuccino.

Old ancient cities giving you goosebumps should be cleaned or if there is no chance to be replaced might as well have an exact replica somewhere else. Anyway that's not the story.

So she stayed in an old dilapidated villa with an old room and roof that's leaking and walls? Yuck! Scary. But maybe that's what calls for the movie. She is a writer and anything unusual helps with the story. She learned the language through a tutor referred to her by a newfound friend Italian woman. Next tour is her travel to India and learned their religion. She met Eric Clapton. Is he the guy? Whatever! There is so much poverty. Caste system is still being practice. Etc, etc, blah blah.

She can't find what she is looking for she went back to see the old medicine man who happened to have inflicted or affected with parkinson's and alzheimer's. At first cannot recognized her. The beauty of Bali and the greeneries brought on by the bounty of rice field. Plus the men and women wearing beautiful sari or sarong.

It's true she was "broken" for Bali means that word.

However, remember what the old man said? He will teach her what he knows. ALL what he knows.
