movie and a song
yesterday, went out with friends to catch up, as well as watch a show. the meeting was set way back as early as 1week beforehand, and the plan was to watch "wedding crashers". but the timings for the show was pretty late, and they decided on "Must Love Dogs".
the show was easy going and smooth. a flick where you would most probably watch it with your loved one on an anniversary or whatever. oh yeah, and before i unleash the nightmares, here's a foreword:
there, all said and done, dont say i didnt warn anyone.
its really amazing how under-rated john cusack is. i mean the guy's a freaking genius, at least in my opinion. he has always managed to bring that down-to-earth, easy going and forever suffering/yearning sense of feeling to his characters. he just makes his characters so believable, so relatable. and the intensity in which he played jake, is truthfully hip-aching funny. here's a guy who could be your everyday man.
ok, back to the show. the chemistry between him and diane lane was so 'there'. often times, such shows are let down by the chemistry, or lack of, between the 2 romantic leads. but this time, diane lane and john cusack makes it so believable that you'd be rooting for the both of them to end up together right from the beginning where they meet. and the show featured gays! gays! you saw it right. blink and you'll still see it. gays! (haha, that was kinda fun) it didnt portray the stereotypical gays as other films did, but it veered dangerously close to it. but it was admirable in its effort not to bash gays. not that i'm gay or anything, i'm straightly heterosexual.
the movie was a feel good flick, but if you're 1)seriously disturbed, 2)depressed, or 3)cant get a girl to look at you, you might want to skip the show.
at the end, people always leave at the credits. i usually wait and sit through it, thus 1)avoiding the crowd that amazingly is able to squeeze out of 2 tiny exit doors in record time and 2) able to enjoy the music. the soundtrack was mostly soul and old school. just my cup of tea. but the last song was drilling itself in my mind. i managed to get a sighting of the song title before my friends pulled me out of the theatre.
came back and searched for the song online and got it. went through apple's iTunes database for it. Susie Suh's "Shell". the song reminds me of Sarah McLachlan's Mirrorball album. listening to the song and vocals, its hard to believe that Susie's only 22. the vocals are raw, but they reflect strength and honesty at its raw-est. its like listening to a Surfacing era Sarah McLachlan. too bad record stores here dont carry Susie Suh's album, but i havent really checked out HMV yet.

warning! from this point onwards, this blogger will proceed to unapologetically gush on John Cusack as well as Susie Suh! click away if you are below 18 or cant stand any of the language involved!
