The story behind the header

sine header

I am so glad I finally changed the header of this blog. Originally, it was an image of Will Smith, Collin Farrell and another actor whom I forgot the name. Obviously, I didn’t like it. It made the blog look like a fanpage for those actors. LOL! Anyway, the four films in the header are just some of my favorites to say the least. I’ll be featuring those movies in the near future but for now, I’ll leave you with the movie trailers. Watch it and enjoy.

Amelie is a french romantic comedy film that was released 2001. Originally titled as Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain meaning “The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain”. My all the time favorite and my first and only DVD that was bought from Amazon. Hehehe!

Tesis is a Spanish film released in 1996 and is a feature debut film by Alejandro Amenabar. I highly recommend this suspense film but it’s really hard to get a copy of it. Kind of sad because I don’t have a DVD copy of Tesis. I watched this several times when it was shown in UP Film Center.

Under the Tuscan Sun is a 2003 film that is based on a memoir by Frances Mayes. It’s a feel good movie and I love watching it whenever I feel down.

Last but not the least, Leon: The Professional. It’s an action French/American thriller film starring Jean Reno and Natalie Portman. Did you know that this was Natalie’s first film? She was only 12 years old and is really, really good.

What are your top favorite movies?

    I love love love love love Leon! :D It was the first film B and I watched together and we weren’t even a couple then. I loved the plot and I absolutely love Jean Reno! :D I knew Natalie Portman was a great actress then, I mean she was so young and she portrayed the role so effectively.

    I also like under the Tuscan Sun.. :) I watch it when I want to feel perky.. :D

    I haven’t seen Thesis and I have only seen parts of Amelie, but I will definitely watch it all the way through soon! :D

      I recommend you watch Amelie next time. It’s absolutely wonderful. The colors and cinematography is just whoa! Tesis is more on the dark side though. Clue: s-n-u-f-f videos.
