second part of movies which I've seen

So more movies.

The Lake house by Alejandro Agresti

I felt somehow sad and cold and it was wednesday after a flute lesson (if you know, I dont like the teaching style of my flute-teacher). I felt misunderstood and alone, so I decided to go to the movies. I had seen almost anything else which was going on that week, so I went though I hate Sandra Bullock. Anyway, it turned out that It wasnt just a normal love story, and I find it entertaining. It gave me somewhat warm feeling - which lasted - and I can feel it still, when I think about movie.

Koti-ikävä (Home sickness) by Petri Kotwica

Its a tragedy inside a family. I liked this movie much, and it almost made me puke. But still.. Things are not so certain as they sometimes look like.

Pirates of Caribbean 2 (Dead Man's Chest) by Gore Verbinski

Funny, entertaining. I didn't like the first, and not really about the second either. This kind of go without your brains movies are from Satan, but if people likes... OK. Though, I cannot say that I dont like Johnny Depp. :D

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan by Larry Charles

I love Sacha Baron Cohen! Hilarious.

Then I saw two WTC-movies, both which came out - United 93 (Paul Greengrass) and World Trade Center (Oliver Stone). Touchy and well, our common history of 21st Century. I was in the Politology lessons while it happened, we had a pause and went to see NEWs and after 1st part the teacher made a fast decicion and teached us things trough the WTC-attact. I believe I will remember power-stuff always through political conversation on those lessons. And what about movies. They were entertaining, not much more (and yep, a bit too patriotic...)

On last weeks I've seen only 3 movies.

First one was Snakes on a Plane (David R. Ellis) it was hilarious funny killing movie with funny snakes and how they kill people. And the ending was sooooo lame. But again... I didn't feel anything when I left theater.

The Lost City by Andy Garcia.

Andy Garcia is the hottest latino-actor in the world. And this movie was really good, I liked it. Story is about family who splits up in the beginning of Revolution in Cuba. The story is real, and the people are probably still waiting for a real freedom. I suggest anyone to see this.

Science of Sleep (La Science des reves) by Michel Gondry

Close your eyes, Open your heart. This tagline tells a much about this movie. Art of the movie was there and because of that (and of course the romantic schema) I felt refreshed after movie. I found out that I should start again to do with my own hands. Maybe when I am back in Finland.

Today, or tomorrow I am planning to see Babel. Its up to my feelings after 1-2hours. :)

And schools out early and soon we'll be learning, and the lesson today is how to die

I've felt really sick lately, despite the fact that I am on antibiotics, painkillers, nasal spray and asthma inhalators. Last nite I was overdosing with Bricanyl (which is opener medication for bronchuses). And overdosing lead to the state of shaking and too fast heart beat. I was scared and my lungs didn't work either then.

I decided to sleep no matter what, so I slipped into a dreams where I was travelling around. I was in the ferry to Tallinn and back with my family (whole family, mum and dad at same place (!) but I was sad, because they said to me, that I need to left all the others and take a tram to home from port. I didn't, I travelled in secret with them to some service station and left out there. It was some 20 kilometers from Tampere - and I need to walk from there to Tampere. I walked by some camp site where I met some OLD schoolmates: Antti and Asta L., Matti S., Riikka was there and Emmi, who lives now-a-days in UK (all of them are from Varkaus). I had a small conversations about my life with them and continued last 5km to Tampere.

I couldn't remember where my great-aunt lives there and I couldn't find my friends home's. I met Winston (a boy with grey jacket) and a girl with pink jacket. They were looking for each other. I helped them and get to problems by myself. I didn't have place to sleep, but I found my post box where I found out some letters which I've been waiting. All the letters had either my Helsinki address, or then some weird Latvian address: Seeru iela 8. Seru (with long e) means funeral in Latvian. I kept looking for a place to sleep, but again I came to post box and there was one big paper where was written in Finnish: I'm looking for you - Winston. I fall a sleep on the grass next to stream (it was Tammerkoski, I'm pretty sure of it). And didn't woke up anymore.

I suddenly woke up in real life. Time was 13:29. I had been sleeping more than 13 hours. I still had pain in lungs. I still had running nose. I still felt bad. I still feel. (Time to get scared, time to make plans).

Aura and Kaisa was visiting me. That's the reason I haven't been writing. With Aura we drank Mojitos and with Kaisa we went to OPERA and Akvaparks. Kaisa told me that I breath like sighing while sleeping. I am worried about me. Is anyone else?

Right now there is NATO summit in the city. I don't like their restrictions (not walking in old town areas, no cars on our areas streets), but I am not sure whether any kind of Unions are good for people. EU has made me to study here, but.. I've done it also without EU-money (so. Erasmus-grant). I will probably get my residence permit on 6th of December, which is independence day. I will celebrate already 5th of Dec, with Iggy Pop and the Stoogees in Riga Arena. (Ohh damn, I've waited for some good concerts again). This weekend I will join a summer-party to Depo. Hospitalu Iela will be performing there. And Depo is always a warm place to go. I saw Science of Sleeping and I am definately sure, that Sleeping mode is the best one you can have. I'm planning to see Babel. I should pay rent this week. I should go to doctor. I should rest more.

movies

I somehow promised someone to make a list of movies I have seen in this autumn. So now is time for it. (Time to write, nothing else to do!).

Most memorable movies have been in the festivals, mainly in Arsenals and Baltijas Perle. Some of the movies have been really crappy and some are ok.

But here they are:

Dead man by Jim Jarmuch
was the one of the best movies I've seen while staying here. Johnny Depp in the main role and the somehow warmness of the directing style of Jarmuch. Goes to my top 10 whenever.

Wristcutters - A love story by Goran Dukic
second movie which I can recommend to all the people. Desires of dying and Tom Waits as a strange "angel" guy ;) Also getting almost a place to my top 10.

Tumzie Briezi by Viesturs Kairiss
this movie stays in my head, not because it was good, but more because it was really STRANGE and almost meaningless. Story is about girl who wants to save their deer farms deers by not getting hunters food. Underlining here goes still to family matters, reaaally strange things.

Open Forest by Jill Culton & Roger Allers
Funny and sweet movie for kids. And me. And couple of other people. Bear going back to home, woods.

Perfume - The Story of a Murderer by Tom Tykwer
What french people can invent than a crazy murderer, which looks cute and kills for the scent of a woman. Somehow I liked the movie, because of the 1700-century athmosphere?

Children of Men by Alfonso Cuarón

I was waiting more from this. Cuarón as a director has been one of my favourites, but somehow this movie has partly only one leg. I waited a bit more for the background for this situation, and you see: all the plot is told in the trailer. What kind of thing this is?

Little Miss Sunshine by Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris

Sweet and warm and what else! Full of good mood in this movie. I was smailing half a week after it. But, where is Olive?

Grudge II by Takashi Shimizu

Horror? When youre same time with the kids, yep ;) Same as the first one, but this time I was alone.

The Da Vinci Code by Ron Howard

This was a last time choice to watch a film with Gavin. Entertaining, nothing else.

Ohh, I continue the list afterwise, good conversation with Raimis today. :)

Stambula

Is a place where Annette is right now. I would like to fly there as well, and some day I will do it.

What I'm talking about is Istanbul, and I learned the word today when I was watching Amelie with latvian subtitles, you know, I don't know french almost at all. (ok, couple of words, and I think my pronunciation is soooo bad... that.)

I have relaxed whole weekend, now I am just doing nothing and I cannot sleep because of full moon.

I try to hold on.
