SNL

Guess what? I finally bought the DVD of my favorite TV show called “Saturday Night Live”. These DVDs include the complete first season of show and a lot of special features. Unfortunately they contain no English subtitles, but a nice teacher who always carrying his favorite beard told me a helpful website so I can find all of scripts of the show. Thank you so much, Mister!
Speaking of “SNL”, the second DVD will be released in December this winter and its front cover seems … very creepy:

Portrait of Conehead family.

Book Review 2-1, Movie Review 14

I remember the film which has same title used to make me excited whenever I watched it when I was a little kid. Harrison Ford performs the main role in the movie after he and Steven Spielberg had completed their representative series named “Indiana Jones”. The story and character of this work is totally different to “Indiana Jones”. For example, Indiana is a very brave guy who wants visit to every single ruin in the earth, but in “The Fugitive”, Harrison plays an ordinary middle-aged man called Dr. Richard Kimble. Dr. Kimble never experienced in shooting guns or wrestle with people who want him dead. He isn’t used to be chased by enemies neither, so there are no common points between Indiana Jones and Dr. Kimble. When the first time I watched “The Fugitive”, I have found newness because I have never seen Harrison’s acting as an abscondee. That’s way I love this movie and checked out the novel book from library.
Speaking of “Indiana Jones”, I have heard about the fourth movie of the series a few days ago. It called “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”. Really long title, huh? I know the past series is a piece of American movie history, but this one seems like piece of something.

Today's Movie #13

Five Easy Pieces (1970)

This movie is about a man who refused the well-heeled life which his family gave to him. His name is Bob. Almost all members of his family are musicians and Bob has a kind of talent as a pianist. However, he doesn’t like to living with his family and in-lows because he believes that he will lose his individuality if he lives with them any longer. Now, Bob spends his carefree days with his girlfriend as a construction workforce. One day, he accidentally met his older sister in the street. His sister said, Bob’s father is very sick and Bob should come back to see him before it’s too late. Soon, Bob decided to return home with his girlfriend who just had their baby.
This serious drama movie was made in 1970. Therefore it is a very old one, but the story is so impressive. In addition, Jack Nicholson acts the main roll in the film.

Today's Movie #12

“The Blob” is a B movie that has enthralled many moviegoing people for a long time. When the first time I borrowed this movie from video store, I didn’t have a lot of expectations at all because it seemed not very interesting. However, I found that this film is so exciting as soon as I began to watching. Especially, the special effects were very amazing but a little grotesque. Anyway, I believe that you should try this if you are not allergic to horror movies.

My favorite musicians Part.1 "System of a Down"

Today, I will tell you guys about one of my favorite bands, “System of a Down”. The band name came from the song which called “VICTIMS OF A DOWN”. All of band members are Armenian descent and they met each other at an Armenian community in Los Angles. As they released their first album in 1998, “System of a Down” became famous as a hard-rock band. Until these days, they had written many songs that include political and social messages. Now “System of a Down” is taking a sleep, but I hope that their will be back and give us more powerful performances someday.

A lovely song

Today I would like to introduce a gorgeous music clip which I found at Google video some days ago. This song, “Call Me Al” is pretty funny because Chevy Chase (right side of them) acts like a singer but he doesn’t sing at all. Paul Simon, who truly sings the song is a very famous musician. He used to be a part of band named “Simon and Garfunkel” in sixties.
