Crazy Little Thing Called Love (2010)

Okay, I know when you take a look at the poster it seems like a usual ordinary teenager love movies. I am not going to lie, because yes it is. But I am not here to shoot them down because there is some values I see in this movie, despite its regularity.

I don't think I ever, as I recall watch any romantic Thai movies. But I watched this and I loved the cinematography. It's clean and sharp. The cast are great, except maybe the leading actor who as described could only look pretty. It was helped a lot by having Nam (Pimchanok Lerwisetpibol), the leading actress, who transformed like an ugly duckling to a beautiful girl and the silly English Teacher, Inn (Sudarat Budtporm).

Summary : The life of Nam, an ordinary girl as a freshman in her school who secretly had a crush with her senior high school mate. The story surround itself with her friendship with her childhood friends and the opponent on impressing her crush.

RACHEL GETTING MARRIED (2008)

When I re-watch Penelope and wrote it here, I was actually trying to find Rachel Getting Married.  I wanted to see it because I saw the movie in the cable tv and I thought it was intense. Then I forgot about it until I found it on my sister's room. But I got to admit, I was not feeling well when I watch it. As the result, I felt an emotional rollercoaster. I also felt the wedding party night scene is too long.



I saw Kym's (played by Anne Hathaway) struggling to be accepted in her family after being in and out of rehab. She faced several rejections as she attend her sister's wedding preparation. As the story goes, the problem in the family got discovered and more complex. Kym's presence makes things awkward even though the family try to be open for her. There is also jealousy of father's attention, unresolved anger and feelings buried in the past is exploding just before the wedding.
