SABRINA

Now I sit down to write this film critics at last. I remember I first watched the beginning of this famous film a few years ago, and got interested in the humorous monologue of Sabrina to describe the Larrabee family. From then on I'd been longing for watching through the whole content. But now
after watching it twice within one week, I get disappointed at the plots of the film. There are so many ridiculous happenings throughout it.

Firstly, the protagonist, Sabrina, like other poor but pretty young girls in one million stories, fells in love with a rich, handsome, elegant, and young millionaire. Apparently, according to the director, Sabrina is innocent and faithful to love. She climbs up to the tall tree to peer at her dream
lover David everytime the party is held on. She even remembers the first dance with David when they all were kids years ago. She just doesn't mind David's
notorious custom of changing girlfriends frequently and constantly. But, the director fails to explain a sharp turn of Sabrina's true love(if it is), which is shifted from David to his elder brother, Linus, so quickly and unthinkable. Through the film we see Linus invites Sabrina to his cottage. On the seashore, then, everything becomes incredible. They spend 48hours together, chatting, dinnering, ambling, came raing, and lying (at least for Linus's part, yes). Then, despite all her deep love for David, who's lying on bed with back up to the roof and a wound in hip, she dramatically falls in love
with the elder but more wealthy larrabee. If the handsome face of David attracts she in the past years, what the hell has the power to remove that long-term love for David to Linus? The director does little to persuade us. Linus is much older,less attractive, but more successful in business, i.e., more wealthy when compared with David. and I can find no romance, she
describes Linus as a "heart donor", which is unreal according to the whole film show us. It ignites my doubt on her origin motive on chasing for David.

Secondly, let's turn our camera onto the Larrabees. Linus, the elder son, is as unexplainable as Sabrina. He acts as a business-orientated, veteran boss. He never hides his lust for money, and in the very beginning,he asserts that Sabrina wants to tempt his younger brother for nothing else but money. Yeah,
maybe he is right. But how can a cool and mature man as he turned his own mind so abruptly and thoroughly? He is not a foolish playboy as David. He's resolute, shrewd, and sedate on business,and everything,in fact. However, after
a hug by Sabrina, he confesses anything he plots before her(that is,to coax her into going to paris with him,and gotten rid of quietly and safely by him. Certainly,he'll leave a number of francs and a house for her leaving from David, who will marry a rich girl and make Linus's merge project possible.) That's not his style, and it remains unexplainable for me. as for his dear
mother, I can't find anybody else can give more accurate remarks on her as her elder son. When that brilliantly dressed madam objects to Linus's tricks for
Sabrina hypocritically, the elder son responses: "and you taught me everything I know."

And lastly, the father of Sabrina, Mr. Fairchild. He's even more sophisticated and bright than Linus. He frowns on Sabrina's deeds always. And he believes " she(Sabrina) doesn't belong in a mansion,she doesn't belong above the garage either." And the same ludicrously, he agrees on the marriage of Sabrina to
Linus, only after Linus simply tells him that he "need her" and "want to make her happy." I just can't understand why all the people in this film like to change their decisions so quickly ludicrously.

Well, you may argue that it is just a film, and all characters in films are a little uncommon, but I really think the fiction and imagination of directors can't go too far, even if in their films.

Disclaimer 　　

The idea of translating The First Intimate Touch（《第一次亲密接触》） has been formed in my mind since I happened to read it. Definitely, it’s such a moving story that it could make the tears of many young lads and maidens down from their cheeks. So I refer to it as “ tears-killer “. 　　

The process of translating was boring, frustrating and tiring. Sometimes, I sat in front of my computer for hours, and achieved little. I encountered with new words and Chinese phrases time and again. Without other choices, I need to consult (《牛津高阶词典》) or other soft wares of translation （《金山词霸》 & 《自由英语XP》）so as to have an acceptable answer. 　　

As a freshman of English majors, I found myself incapable during the translation. Many of the new words are obstacle to me, a student, who is on the way to perfect English. So there must be much incorrect translation, which is not to your heart’s content. So please comment on the points, I will modify them on the later version. 　　

As for the purpose of the translating the novel, one half is for fun, the other half is to improve myself in English. Often I like saying that life is too short for us to pass anything up. I like enjoying my life. I like catching the opportunity of my life journey. I like seeing the beauty of things around my life. So translating the novel, in my humble eyes, is also part of life. 　　 Just enjoy the story! It’s my whole hope when you read it.

　　 P.S:[另] 　　

1) In total, I have translated 3 chapters during my summer vocation. The rest will be finished after I returned home in winter holiday. So please be patient. 　

2) I will be sorry if there is something that pisses you off. In short ，I am a filter not a shooter. 　　　　

Thank you all. 　　------David Wong

The First Intimate Touch 　　

Chapter 1 Plan 　　------Written by Hippy Cai. 　　

Beginning to know her was on the network.

How did it begin? I don’t quite remember. In my collection, it started off from one of my plans on bulletin board: 　　

“If I had one million dollars, I would buy a villa. 　　

Can I have one million dollars?

No. 　　

So I still don’t have a villa.

If I had wings, I would fly. 　　

Can I have wings?

No. 　　

So I still can’t fly.

 If all water was pumped from the Pacific, it still couldn’t put out my love to you.

Can the water be pumped dry?

No. 　　

So I still don’t love you.

“ It’s only my occupational disease. I’m a graduate student. In order to write mathematic equations, my brain is always just filled with all kinds of logical stuff. When the assumption is not correct, the conclusion we obtain is just boo shit, which is just as nonsense as to discuss whether a eunuch is more likely to have a son or daughter. So writing down such a sort of milk and water in my plan proves that I’m a boring person to the most degree. Definitely it’s true, because I never managed to have a girl. So it is reasonable enough to say that I am a bachelor 　　　However, she is an exception. The other day she actually sent me an email saying that I was a funny guy. Funny? 　　　How can the adjective be used to describe me? Just as honesty cannot belong to Present. Li Denghui . I thought she either had a low IQ or a mental illness. 　　　However, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with her mind judge by the name “Flyindance“ she uses on the web. 　　　But the web is usually full of fakes. Nobody knows that you are a dog. In other word, A dinosaur never admits she is a “dinosaur“ and tells you that she lives in a Jurassic park. She always makes every means to mislead and charm you. So the nice nickname absolutely is the best tool to capture pure lads such as me. 　　　Referring to dinosaurs brings the miserable memory to me again. I have met some cyber friends. One is more challenging than the previous one, which leads to my white flag in the love field. Sometimes I think I can become the main character in Aunt. Qiongyao’s novels, because there are adequate materials for her to dig up. Also my roommate Ted had the same experiences. If we use the number of girls we’ve met on the web as the x-axis, the amount of shock and blows we received as the y-axis, we will get a linear equation according to an advanced analysis. Then take the differential coefficient on X and indefinite integral on Y, we will acquire the theorem -- “No beauty on the net“. Theoretically, the web is clustered with various female dinosaurs. The only difference is whether she is carnivorous or herbivorous. 　　　Before introducing “flyindance“, I’ve got to mention Ted first. He has been my buddy since undergrad. But our personalities are just in the different ends of the world. He is tall and handsome, and above all, he is extremely talkative. I doubt if there is any female organism that can survive in his boundless small talk. I am willing to call him “Lady Killer“, and actually he is a professional player in the field. The number of girls who suffer from his charming can be counted to hundreds and thousands all over the Tai Wan Islands. He can beat any rival in love in the battle, but he never takes in any ‘captive’. He told me that he had achieved the maximal truth about love that is ’walking through flowery fields without any petal in body.’ It’s believed that the degree is higher than poet Xu Zhimo’s ‘brandish my gussets and leave every cloud behind’. He has to brandish his gusset to abandon the former lover, however, Ted needs no gusset at all. 　　　Ted always says that I’m really a poppet in the dating industry. Well, I’m afraid I can’t blame it on him. I’m neither a tall nor handsome boy, wearing a pair of glasses with deeply short sight, which makes my eyes look like a straight line. Once in class of water conservancy, the professor picked on me, because he wondered whether I was sleeping. However, I was in nature concentrating on listening. Maybe it’s because of eight character about my birth. Since childhood, the kind of people around me is either girlish boys or boyish girls. Ted usually maintains that there are four types of men on the earth. First, ‘reap where one has not sown’. They don’t need to chase. Girls will automatically try to hook them up. Secondly, ‘reap with ease where one has sown’. They can get their work done easily. Thirdly, ‘reap where one has sown hard’. They have to rack their brains to run after girls. But they still can make it when their wits almost end. Fourthly, ‘sow hard and reap hard’. Just like me, they are the most miserable guys. What they can do is count on miracles, just as a blind cat counts on coming to a dead rat. 　　　In fact, Ted is my great chum. He always tries hard to ‘lend’ his girls to me, but I always rock the boat. I shouldn’t be to blame, because I learn self-respect and honesty from Confucius and Mencius. However, the more I learn it, the worse things will get, for it’s the most stupid thing in chasing girls. For instance, once I had a date with a not-very-slim girl. I was kind to ask her to have some more dessert, but she said she was afraid that she’s going to be out of shape. Off the top of my head, I added that it’s too late. 　Last year, I was out with a girl for dinner. She revealed with flourish that her friends said she had the angel’s face and the devil’s body. But I answered seriously:“ I am sorry to say that your friends commented on it in an opposite way“. It was lucky that we just had a refection, and I was only hit by a chopstick. If we had had beefsteak, there probably would be a murder. Since that experience fleeing from the hell, I become aware of how terrible girls on net. Later Ted came up with a principle of escaping -- whenever going to a date with girls known from the web, we should take a beep pager. We will aid each other by making the counterpart’s BP ring. If met a carnivorous dinosaur, we would tell her: “My dorm is on fire.“ For herbivores, we would say: “My dorm was broken into by a burglar.“ In total, Ted’s room had been on fire four times and broken into six times. I’m much luckier, only had my room visited by burglars five times. 　　　Therefore, before meeting “flyindance“, my heart has been trained strongly. Even if encounter with dinosaurs again, my heart can still keep a normal rate of 72 pulses per minute. Ted once reminded me that if “flyindance“ didn’t have long hair, she would be a bitch, because when dancing, women only have two parts flying: hair and skirt. Flying hair is of course beautiful; flying skirt, however, indicates sexual implication. But I all the time think she is unique. Fortune-telling books say that people of scorpio have acute instinct. So I hold firm belief in my sixth sense. As for Ted, although he is able to measure the size of a girl’s chest circumference just by a simple glimpse and tell the detailed information whether she has a bra of size B or size A and have the girl in a few days, he might not really known a girl. 　　Ted always quote Shakespeare’s wisdom “Women are to be loved, not to be known“ to prove that knowing a girl is not a prerequisite to win her heart. To be honest, there is some sense in the sentence. I once had the experience to live along with another four girls. It’s a bitter recollection. I had to tackle every life trifle for them, because they only know sentimental writings of the exploiting classes. In order to secure their virtue, I had to call the roll late. If I had had some wicked idea, others would have laughed at me having an inside job. If I had kept a certain distance with the girls, I would have been considered as putting on airs, even given a calling card of some surgeon. Worst of all, when they came back after bath, I had nobody but myself to enjoy, because I could only taste beauties by my eyes. Living in the identical house with them for 2 years, I realized a truth that the poses they adopted to counter their own leg hairs are identical, no matter how immaculate, lovely, tender, naivete, handsome, elegant and slender they are. Also they shouted to me to hand sanitary towel to them through a door gate in a toilet.

The First Intimate Touch 　　

Chapter 2 FlyinDance 　　------Written by Hippy. Cai 　　

Now I should put the girl ’FlyinDance’ in stage. Since She sent me an Email indicating I’m funny, I have been waiting to have an encounter with her. However, it’s a pity that we always lost the opportunity. So I could merely send a mail back to reply that I would try to train myself to be a funny guy so as to prove she had a foresight. Consequently, I sent another mail to her, and she replied with another, then I answered the mail she sent to me, and again she replied the mail I sent to her that originated from her. In sum, it testimonies the old saying ’ An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth lasts for ever’. Although it’s better for us to resolve the overwhelming misunderstanding, I found it getting bigger and bigger. 　　As a matter of face, what attracts my attention most is also her plan: 　　“ I am dancing elegantly in an a swarm crowd, 　　which arouses a unnamable expression in your eyes. 　　However stunned or appreciating, 　　it could not break my pas, 　　because what makes me vivacious is not your concentrated eyesight, 　　but my young heart.” 　　To be blunt, I can’t associate her with a dinosaur. If she is a dinosaur, I would rather be her dessert, for it’s worthwhile to die in the hand of such a dinosaur. 　　It seems that Ted has found something peculiar about me, so he persuaded me time and again to learn that we should not pay any emotion to the web and treat it as a game, and after all, virtual things can’t exit in the world. So let the dinosaurs be dinosaurs, let the dogs be dogs, and let dream be dream. Nobody knows the gender, personality or appearance of a guy behind an English ID. How could the love of shit happen? 　　..... 　　The next day in chat room, someone sent me a message online. 　　I was very excited. As usual, I closed my hands and prayed for a version of girl who longed for love. Then hit “Enter“. 　　“Hippy, are you not sleeping?“ 　　Wo kao! It was “flyindance“!!!, a girl with either flying hair or flying skirt. 　　I started to do keep breath. Ted is dating someone tonight. Damn it! At such urgent moment, I have to struggle all by myself. Had I known that beforehand, I’d have asked him to be a vegetarian just for tonight. With my crappy sense of humor and dumb talking style, how am I supposed to attract her??? 　　“Hippy, I’m in a bad mood and can’t sleep.“ 　　Kao, Ted! Aren’t you so bored as to make me use “Hippy’’ as my assumed name and claimed that it was likely to gain sheeps’ eyes, especially some pure naive girls. Aren’t my previous ones more attractive, such as “Loving-you Jack“, “Mr.Romance“, “ You jump, and I will jump.“ I Just could’t imagine right now she was calling me “Hippy“. Damn it! 　　“I’m in a bad mood too ... let’s make it negative times negative be positive! OK?“ 　　Trying really hard, I come up with that, already sweaty. Actually my mood is OK, but I don’t want to negate her just at the beginning. Also if later she asked me why I was not happy, I could simply say: “ You are not happy. How can I be happy?“ That is a kind of cheesy, but Ted always says that’s the basic requirement for dating a girl. He claimed that woman was a weird creature in that they believe in their ears much more than their eyes, so it is usually more effective to say something good to move her, rather than do anything else. 　　　?Why not, but you haven’t said hello to me yet :)“ 　　“Damn! Amn’t I ashamed of being the most polite gentleman in my department?“ 　　“How are you? a girl with a long hair“ 　　I had been hoping her to have flying hair instead of skirt, so I just sensibly assume that she has long hair. God please please, don’t make me wrong! 　　..... 　　The next day in chat room, someone sent me a message online. 　　I was very excited. As usual, I closed my hands and prayed for a version of girl who longed for love. Then hit “Enter“. 　　“Hippy, are you not sleeping?“ 　　Wo kao! It was “flyindance“!!!, a girl with either flying hair or flying skirt. 　　I started to do keep breath. Ted is dating someone tonight. Damn it!At such urgent moment, I have to struggle all by myself. Had I known that beforehand, I’d have asked him to be a vegetarian just for tonight.

Aren’t my previous ones more attractive, such as “Loving-you Jack“, “Mr.Romance“, “ You jump, and I will jump.“ I Just could’t imagine right now she was calling me “Hippy“.Damn it! 　　“I’m in a bad mood too ... let’s make it negative times negative be positive! OK?“ 　　Trying really hard, I come up with that, already sweaty. Actually my mood is OK, but I don’t want to negate her just at the beginning. Also if later she asksedme why I was not happy, I could simply say: “ You are not happy. How can I be happy?“ That is a kind of cheesy, but Ted always says that’s the basic requirement for dating a girl. He claimed that woman was a weird creature in that they believe in their ears much more than their eyes, so it is usually more effective to say something good to move her, rather than do anything else. 　　　　　“Why not, but you haven’t said hello to me yet :)“ 　　“Damn! Amn’t I ashamed of being the most polite gentleman in my department?“ 　　“How are you? a girl with a long hair“ 　　I had been hoping her to have flying hair instead of skirt, so I just sensibly assume that she has long hair. God please please, don’t make me wrong! 　　“Well, how come do you know that I have long hair?“ 　　　ingo! Wonderful! That shows that she is not a dinonaur. I’m so out of joy. 　　“Not only do I know that you have a long hair, I can also ensure that you don’t like to wear skirt.“ 　　The bigger the stake, the more the prize. If I get this right again, everything will be cool! 　　“What! Again you even got that correctly!“ 　　Oh my god! I’m just slightly smarter and slightly more friendly than anyone else in the world. Why bothers giving me such a big prize? 　　“I just think that you must have a pair of really beautiful legs, so you definitely shouldn’t hide them with your dress.“ 　　I’m a bit sick of myself. Ted used to say that once you can naturally say that kind of compliment to a girl, you get a B.D. (bachelor of dating).Guess I still have a long way to go. 　　“Uh...“ 　　That’s the special rights that women on web have.Whenever they don’t know how to answer you, just use “ Uh“ or “:)“ to get through.I think it a really smart way.She not only easily accepts any compliments, but also acts as if she doesn’t care about it. 　　　　　“Are you feeling better, dear Miss flyingdancer?“ 　　Even though I’m curious to know why she is not happy, I hold the question.Because when girls are in a bad mood, they are sometimes kind of dangerous.If you ask her directly: “ Why are you not happy “, she tends to be mad.What if she just lost her virginity, or stepped on dog shit, she’ll definitely kick your ass on the spot. 　　　?Much better, lovely Mr. Hippy.“ 　　“Lovely“? That’s not the most satisfactory word, but it’s at least acceptable. But no matter how lovely Mr. Hippy is, he is still dummy. I should have had come up with a new name, more noble and poetic by tomorrow. 　　　?Knowing you are feeling better, I also feel better.Isn’t that strange?“ 　　I applied my previous reply nicely, so proud of myself. No matter what, I’m at least Ted’s roommate. 　　　?Hippy, I’ve got to go to bed.Tomorrow 10am let’s meet again, shall we?“ 　　　eems that my previous reply is taking its effect. 　　　?Whatever you do, wherever you are, I’ll always be there waiting for you. Tomorrow at 10 is cool.“ 　　　　　YAY!This can be included in the top ten quotes of the year. Influenced by Ted, I find myself actually not that bad, even though my hands are still trembling when typing the last sentence.But I’m still deeply impressed by my unbelievable talent. 　　　“Ok Hippy, good night and see you tomorrow.“　　　　　　　

The First Intimate Touch 　　

Chapter3 Encounter on the Web 　　----Written by Hippy. Cai 　　　　 “Oh, oh? Given a vial of love potion, I will be hard on overnight”, hearing the stupid lyrics of Andy’s song Farewell-love Water, I know that Tai is coming. It goes without saying that one girl has fallen into his hand. 　　Tai said it time and again that he didn’t seldom think of obtaining a true love, but his superior conditions which will bring a feeling of insecurity to his girlfriend determine it. So he concluded at last, ‘ I, such a gentle man, shouldn’t behave ruttishly. However, it’s my nature which drives me to do so.’ 　　Absolutely, it’s a chicanery. But, practically, many many men are the second Tai more or less. 　　The only difference is that they lack the charming which is the weapon of chasing girls. 　　I tell Tai that I have just met FlyinDance. 　　“congratulations having such a good opportune, shouldn’t we have a drink?” 　　Tai must be joking. I have to get up early tomorrow. Drinking will result in trouble. 　　“OK, let’s delay it until you are heart-broken” 　　WAO! It seems that you are cursing me 　　“Did I allude to you? I am cursing you straight.” 　　Horse’s! If I was your rival in strength, I would beat you to cry. 　　‘Hipy?don’t be angry? I am using the method of cooling in adult psychology when yearning for something, you need to be poured water on?Then you can consolidate step by step, attack and seize every castle, and capture princesses and queens” 　　To be honest, it’s true. Otherwise I will get on my horse. 　　I am a gay who take a day for a night. So getting up at 10 a.m. is a little difficult task for me. 　　‘Tai?call me tomorrow morning’ 　　‘Recollect detailedly?your sensuality if your body?appears on the bed’ 　　He is singing the adapted song You are in an Alien Land. I find myself really an ass to count on him. 　　So I set two alarm clocks. One on the bedside and the other laid on the farthest corner of my bed. Such a layout assures me that my alarms will not waken my indexes. 　　　　　　　　‘Hippy… what a coincidence…” 　　I am lucky enough. Though I have slept overtime, I log on to the net in time. 　　‘Yeah…how coincident it is…’ 　　Girls are really peculiar animals. They have dated boys, but put on a pose of encountering unexpectedly. Maybe it’s QiongYao’s love stories that spoil them. 　　Those girls believe that men they happen to know on the web are the most fantastic. 　　“Hippy?you are boasting’ 　　 Also the charming of men..........

Mr.&Ms. Smith

2005-11-22T09:56:00.000+08:00

Just finished Mr.&Ms. Smith ，It was extremely entertaining from start to finish.Their（Mr.&Ms. Smith ） chemistry together is so electric that you don't want them to be apart. Brad Pitt has never been more likable in a movie. I've never thought of him as a comedic actor before, but comedy is his calling.Angelina... my God that women is incredibly gorgeous. Besides Catherine Zeta Jones, I can't imagine any other actress playing her part. She is strong and takes the lead quickly. Bottom line is when the movie was over there was major clapping in the audience. It is a must see.

I saw this movie tonight, the night it came out and it was wonderful. What chemistry between the main characters! Dermot Mulroney is sexy and charming. It was funny and romantic and had some really great quotes. The music was fun so you may want to run out and buy the soundtrack after singing out loud in the theater. I loved every minute and thought it was worth the time. LOVE DOES NOT COME CHEAP !

'Big Daddy'

2005-11-22T09:51:00.000+08:00

Its very rare that I see a comedy that I really love...and some crude humor. I own 'Big Daddy' and I still watch it when I see it on TV. I like the story , Adam Sandler,also, and think a lot of his films are pretty funny stuff, but this is by far his best. I think what makes this film so great is the slight dramatic element it has to it, while still being completely freakin hilarious. Everything about the movie is perfect, and every single element fits the story just right. The film really couldn't have done a single thing better.And at the same time, a touching film you can actually be moved by 'Big Daddy' is a true good thing.

Bridget Jones Diary

2005-11-22T09:48:00.000+08:00

Bridget Jones Diary is a must see for all. Its really really funny, and the fact that it stars Hugh Grant and Colin Firth makes it even better. The movie is very funny, hilarious, cool, original and even silly, but fine, with the unique style of British humor. The most funny part is the fight between Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver.This movie has a lot going on outside of the wonderful romance as well. Contemporary events, gender inequities, social differences, work place decorum, fashion, self-image, sex, family, and friendship all come under the scrutiny of Bridget Jones and her diary.

**HIGHLY recommended**

2005-11-22T09:42:00.000+08:00

This movie is simply very stupid, but funny.I still find it funny even though I haven't seen all of the movies it makes fun of. This movie is better then the scary movie series. I liked a few jokes like "You'd never suspect everyone ýn the school is a professional dancer"; but that's all .
Anyway,This movie is really cool .

"Artificial Intelligence"

2005-11-22T09:38:00.000+08:00

"Artificial Intelligence" is one case where a Disneyized-happy-ending modification to the original would've done the film loads of good. As it is, don't watch this movie if you're prone to depression. It'll just make it a lot worse. Little Confusing ~ Just Ok, haha, Well spent the money.

Zoolander"- I call that "dumb idiot supermodel " Perhaps this movie doesn't quite work for people who lack an appreciation of dry humour. Personally, I loved it. It seems that most people who dislike prefer movies such as Meet the Parents, which is very watchable.That is hilarious! I laughed all the way through .Wilson's performance is stellar and Stiller's makes you pee your pants with laughter (even if you don't have a pre-existing condition). - haha Enough of the high faluting mumbo jumbo - it is just fun! I am just damn well happy it was made so that I could appreciate it.

Gangs of New York... where to start?The images are so powerful.Leonardo DiCaprio.The gangs of New York were overtaken by the city; lost to the corruption they created-so many men and women lost their lives to self-made war.
The amazing use of image and music--- is what really got me.
BUT, Contradictorily,in some way, that is a really bloodbath. Characters are created as after all butchers by profession. I do not accept that on this point.

Roman Holiday again

2005-11-22T09:22:00.000+08:00

Roman Holiday has a warmth and sweetness that still hold power years after it's creation.

Key moments are when the "naive little princess" smokes her first cigarette, drinks wine, sleeps (in the same room) with a complete stranger, passes out in the street, and gets in a brawl.
A Princess Has All Wishes Accomplished in One Day in a Delightful Romance in Rome.

Audrey Hepburn, is a delight to watch. She manages to simultaneously be feminine and boyish, elegant and common, and flighty but grounded.

I really admired the "walk away" ending. Sure, it stung a little but it made sense and it was beautifully done as Peck walked through that elegant, cavernous room.

Maybe a little bit cliche, but really my favorite . Heavenly .
Feel SO SO SO GOOD.

P.S. Hepburn is radiant! Peck is sizzling! Ha ha ... ...

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

2005-11-21T13:48:00.000+08:00

I reviewed the whole Harry Potter Series Film till now this weekend. The new Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire I find that was the best by far of the Harry Potter series. It has sadness and horror and of course happiness and it keeps you wanting to keep watching. It's hilarious and a must-see. The trio did a great job and so did all of the new additions to the cast. (Katie Leung, Clemence Poesy, Robert Pattinson, Stanislav Ianevski) The special effects in this movie are amazing and I'd say that they were the best out of the four movies. The movie is set in Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, amidst the Triwizard Tournament that the school is hosting. The visual effects are absolutely stunning.I really love the soundtrack too.

Slowly but surely, this webpage is starting to take shape.
So many ideas, so many application forms to fill in, so little time.

Who am I? Unfortunately, I will not confirm whatever conclusions you might make from information gleaned from this site, so don't bother asking me. If you don't think your comments are fit for public viewing because they are too defamatory /angry /rude /allornoneoftheabove, by all means feel free to contact me for a private chat .

Now that I have finished with my sayings, all that remains is for me to wish you happy browsing!

David

P.S. Especially thanks Susan [ http://spaces.msn.com/members/susansun0804/ ] for her kindness and encouragement.
