My Recent Top 3 Movies

I'm not a movie freak but I enjoy watching movies, basically depends on my mood. I prefer drama kind of, slow and cool rather than action movies. Of course I love actions as well, but not up to the level of how much I love dramas.

I could say I was influenced by my partner because I did not enjoy watching movies before, as much as I do these days. Of late, I watched a couple of interesting movies, which I have highly rated based on how much I enjoy them. C'mon..see these:

3. Ninja Assassin: Don't say this is an action because I know. We all know Rain. Yes he was kind of girlish (she she ..don't know the spelling excuse me)in Full house, a Korean serial. That definitely made him a good actor because in Ninja Assassin, he proved that he was not that gay as we thought. I mean, you will not believe that he was acting in Full House. Am I over reacting?



I couldn't believe that this guy is an assassinator of Ninjas but it's true. See this-



I found the actions so real, especially at the beginning. Cutting human flesh, bones and head with their sharp samurai are worth to watch.

2. Law Abiding Citizen: If you love tactical moves, this is it -- I mean how brilliant this guy is. His wife and daughter were murdered during a home invasion. When the killers were caught, Nick (a black guy) was assigned to the case but he was forced by his boss to offer one of the suspects a light sentence in exchange for testifying against his accomplice. This guy, Clyde (the tactical man) wanted to fix the imperfect justice system and planned everything within ten years. Find out what his plans were.

I don't like the ending, though-- Sad. If I were the director, I would have made him blow off everything. Cheers!



1. Hachiko: A Dog's Story: This is what I'm talking about -- slow and cool. No actions, but a lot of emotional and touching scenes. Richard Gere (Parker), a professor met a young dog (puppy right!) in the train station and they got to know more of each other. See what happened to the Dog when Parker left him to be alone. A sad and touching story but worth to watch. Be ready with something to wipe your tears before you sit down to watch the movie.



That's it--you're done!

When I Ran Away

I hate to mention this and when I think about it all over again, I had no idea as to how that happened. How could I ever had that courage to run away from a deep forest. But this I know, I'd never let that happen again.

It was in 1995 and I was only 12 years old. We did some kind of nursery planting and I remember the place called Rubber Board where we had spent most of our time. It's on the way to Bairabi, where the government had planted a lot of rubber trees. I was with mom there so I had no intention to go home.

One thing I remember when I was a kid; I couldn't stay away from mom even for a day. I wanted to stay with her all the time except when I was playing with my friends. I felt that my world was complete when mom was around.

We stayed there almost for a week doing the planting. One evening we had 2 of my uncles, grandpa, grandma and some of my cousins visit us when they were on the way to the fish farm. They came with generator, tape recorder and tons of food since they planned to stay there at least for a week. I thought it would be fun to join them rather than doing planting all day long. So, we headed towards the lake at Saihapui, where a few Tuikuk people lived.

The main reason why we had this event if I remember correctly was that aunt passed away and everyone was completely devastated by this loss. With a hope that it might relief the feeling, they planned to stay for a couple of weeks in the fish farm, having some kind of a picnic stuff there.

We reached the farm in the evening and I was kind of happy at the beginning. However, when it started to become dark at night, I started to think about mom. She was alone in the nursery farm and she would need company, I thought. I really wanted to be with her rather than being in the fish farm. I couldn't even sleep at night, always thinking about mom.

I got up by 4 in the morning and saw grandma (RIP) doing the fireworks. "How far is Rubber Board from here?" I asked. I no longer remember how she answered me, though. Everyone else was sleeping so I thought it would be a good chance to run towards mom. I told grandma that I was going to pee. Instead, I started running towards Rubber Board which was almost 12 Kms away from the fish farm. I had no idea as to where all those courages came from, letting me go through all the thick and deep forest.

As I started to run, I had a company which was nothing but a heavy rain. I prayed all the way and continued to run towards my target. I was completely drenched but I did not want to give up. I did not see anybody on the way but all I heard was the sound of animals hooding and the rain pouring down, without noticing somebody had to make his journey towards mom.

Finally, I reached my destiny and met mom gladly. It was not a happy moment as I thought it would be, though. When I did not return to the hut, grandma thought I was taken by some animals. When it started to rain, she woke up the other folks and they all started looking for me in the jungle under the heavy rain. When they couldn't find me, grandma told them that she had an instinct that I might be running to mom because I asked her how far the place was.

I'd rather not mention what happened when these people returned home. I did not even want to think about it :) One thing I remember, though, was that I wanted to be stronger and promised that I would be okay without mom if I need to be away from her. I felt very sorry about the event and wouldn't let that happen again. Never.
