Welcome to People

Songs TBA

Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.

  2. Pfeiffer kinda surprised me because she played her role more through her facial expessions than actual dialogue. I felt her pain with her troubled relationships. It felt real. I wish they showed a bit more, but it was centered more on her "son's" story. The whole film was really good. I'd see it again in hopes that they didn't edit it too much. Can't say too much more without giving too much away. But Pfeiffer fan or not, please Just. See. It.

  5. I'm not sure. They played plenty of good songs. I hated not having my phone cuz now i have no details to go by. All i know is that it enhanced the film a lot. Sorry i couldn't be of much help. I promise to get some stuff up as soon as i see it again tho i'm pretty sure you'd see it by then!

  6. Pfeiffer was good but unfortunately, i don't think it's award-good. If she had more screen time... maybe. She did play distressed very well & the scene w/her talkin to her son on couch towards the end nearly made me cry! She said somethin along the lines as, "I didn't want you to love someone so much& have that not be enough."

  7. I'm a huge Chris Pine fan so could you tell me how his performance was? Thank you.

  8. Sorry for the delay... Pine did a good job playing the hot shot salesman& then transitioning to a man w/a troubled past. I don't think it would've worked w/any other actor. Pine was not as known to play a "hero" so u couldn't predict what will happen. U wanna root for him but@ the same time u wanna strangle him
    He pulled these contradicting emotions outta u which made it good.

  9. How were the "kids" in the movie? My nephew plays one of the bullies :-)

  10. The main kid owned it. By far the greatest character played by a pretty realistic young talent. So, the bullies had it coming ;-).

  11. That's good to know that it played well. My nephew is the African American kid with braids. He said he had a ball filming the movie. Can't wait to see it. Hopefully they didn't edit him out too much :-)

  12. Do post the any traces from the soundtrack. M all ears since,A.R.Rahman has been my favorite composers.

  13. Rahman saab's music would be really soulful always, expecting to hear his beautiful orchestrations for the tracks and if any collaboration too..

  14. Waiting for ARR's music as always.

  15. It's been a while and I'm still waiting. If any of you have any insight to this soundtrack, please fill me in. I think I got in trouble for mentioning as little as I did about this movie, hence why the details are scarce. I figured once it's released, it's fair game but wow what a wait indeed.

Broken

"Paradise" - Coldplay It took a while for this song to affect me, but I guess a windy drive home through an obstacle course of devastating proportions and the sudden panic of having a "State of Emergency" warning flash within my quiet hometown can change things. A lot. I didn't sleep a single minute last night. Although this isn't anything new, it's new to me to want to sleep and not get it. It was unbelievably frightening to be alone in my room with the nite-lite busted and the wind at full speed...even worse when half the roof over my head flew to the ground with a thunderous thud bringing the rest of the sleepless city to its feet. We've seen the Santa Ana winds, but never at this magnitude. It moved cars and busted windows. It rattled fences and ripped gates apart. It knocked over trashcans and picked up patio furniture like it weighed nothing. In the morning when the dust settled just enough for the hazy sun to bring some light to the mayhem, w

Soul Mates

"Once Upon A Dream" - Sleeping Beauty How funny it is that even after all these years and how far we've come with animation, this classic Disney cartoon still grabs me. Yes, I know it's silly, but it's a silly I grew up with and can't help but fall for... I know the story is so far fetched: a 16 year old girl (that looks more like a 21 year old) with gold of sunshine in her hair and lips that would shame the red, red rose sings high up in the mountain tops and suddenly attracts the man of her dreams; her soul mate! (who by golly is the prince that she has been betrothed to since she was a baby!). Unbelievable. So it's all fairytale crap, but so what? I'm not into it because of the romance! To tell you the truth, I don't even like Aurora all that much, the spoiled lil' brat. I mean, she's beautiful in EVERY way, finds out she's a princess and is going to marry into royalty on top of her royalty! I can't really sympathize... Seriousl
