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.

Drawing

This time, I've tried to only use black and white to draw people. The models are Lion and Max, from the old movie "Scarecrow".

Book Review 1-10

"The Client"
Written by John Grisham

This book is about a young boy who accidentally saw a man’s suicide in a forest. Unfortunately, the man was a lawyer of an Italian Mafia. Since the boy saw the suicide, he notices that someone is trying to kill him. Soon he found a dependable female lawyer asked her to protect him from the killer.

This novel was written by John Grisham. Grisham is a very famous as a mystery novelist. However, in the fact, he had written some comedy novels too. For example, “Skipping Christmas” is about a family who skip celebrating Christmas to save more money. The novel was made to a movie by Tim Allen in 2001, but I’ve found that the movie wasn’t very funny at all.
