what?
no jodie foster movie on your list?
hehe
o movie wiz, you set the bar for "best" really high. :-p
happy new year!
(thanks for the list...do you reckon we'll all be big hits in conversations/parties with this essential knowledge? Well, i'd like to think so... ;-))
raft3r > i dig jodie but no foster movie for 2008. :-(
sonia > happy new year din! sana lang mahilig sa movies ang kausap mo or you'd bore them to death. hehe.
dami kong hindi napanood diyan at dami ko ring hindi nabasang libro. hehehe...
may listahan na rin ako ng movies na nagustuhan ko nung 2008 pero hindi ko pa na post. wala ng lugar. hehehe...
I like Control, Jay, and Breathless too! I went to Quiapo and St. Francis Square looking for Breathless, all to no avail. I was able to get a copy of 400 Blows and Bloody Sunday though.
I agree with you on Atonement; great book!
dong > post mo na! i know your blog is a photo/travel blog pero ayos lang yun. :-)
andy > madaming breathless sa metrowalk. where's your best of 2008 list?
I don't have a Best List yet; I'm not yet done watching the DVDs I bought, hehe! I'll do one siguro around March.
I saw Slumdog Millionaire last weekend. Galing ng Bollywood dance sequence! Haha!
andy > where did you get your slumdog copy?
St. Francis Square
andun ako kahapon and didn't find a copy. hindi rin naman ako nagtanong. :-(
When I went there two weeks ago, I only saw one copy, which I immediately bought, hehe!
Slumdog won Best Picture and Best Screenplay I think @ the Golden Globes today. :-)
A lot those movies are on my Best of 2007 films as well. Especially, Once.
Ranking a the best music of the year is always hard for me as well. But I try really hard.
Anyways, Thanks for the add. I'll add you as well.
