Kiss A Guy, Get Nominated for An Oscar

Hey all,

Erm... I know the title is an eye catcher but its not the main topic lol... Well this post is bout' the current movies made is the west. As many may know that the gay-theme movie starring late actor Heath Ledger "Brokeback Mountain" was nominated for many prestigious titles but alas only won for best movie director...

Todays blog is about the current uprising trend on movies about political idols. These movies are portrayed incredibly with great acting not like some comic book hero movies with cheesy lines and repetitive story lines save the world from villains woohoooo......~Right. Movies such as "W" -a memoirs of still standing George W. Bush, "Frost /Nixon"- The story about the Watergate Scandal causing President Nixon to resign and lastly "Milk" the story of political gay activist Harvey Milk. In a near future, a memoirs on Barrack Obama may be released in the screens as u all know , the first African American president of the USA.

Well i have watched "Frost/Nixon" and "Milk". and i would like to say they are fantastic. Choreographed and executed perfectly in every angle. The stories are told in a very unique way
by insertion of various real-life videos about the incidents which occur in the 1970's
OK, now as for the title the movie "Milk" is about 40 year old Harvey Milk starred by Sean Penn finally comes out of the closet and meets his first love Scott played by James Franco. Outraged by the discrimination against the gay community he amps up his game to fight for gay rights. Sean Penn is really good in this movie really makes my spine shiver.O rite... this movie has recieved a golden globe nomination for Best Actor [Sean Penn] and several other awards from the screen actors guild awards. Like i said kiss a guy, get nominated for an oscar.Anyway heres a self edited scene of the beginning of the movie entitled "The First Encounter"

As for Frost /Nixon it doesnt really have a star-studded crew but this story made an uproar in the political industry.For three years after being forced from office, Nixon remained silent. But in summer 1977, the steely, cunning former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for one all-inclusive interview to confront the questions of his time in office and the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency.

Phew, so much to write so little time... i guess i'll continue a little later and i'll post some vids on the movie too=P
