Just in case you didn’t notice but I add another content on my site called Maj Award. No, I don’t really giving away some award of anything but it’s all about me having fun making list of the best and the worst movies I’ve seen. So far, the list is only from 2002-06. I haven’t put the one from 2007 because mostly the one we saw were release on 2006 and this year we start to catch up with the ones from 2007. Anyway, I’d love for everyone to check it.
In comparison to the prediction I love to make for Oscar, Golden Globe and such, I think this one is pretty fair because at least it based on the movie that I’ve REALLY seen. Some of you might think it’s a bit biased especially in regarding to Tom Hanks, Nicole Kidman etc because they are my favorite actors so probably I’ll always choosing them. But just so you know, I started by LIKING their movies then admiring them as an actors. So, if I put Tom Hanks as the best actor for his role in Forrest Gump, it’s not because I was a fan, but because I think he’s amazing on Forrest Gump and that’s how I became a fan.
Anyway, I didn’t watch the movies according to the release year but I decided to put the list in order of it.
Of course the list will always change if I keep watching more and more movies (which I am pretty sure I will).
On to totally different thing, I know I don’t really write about what happen in my daily life. That’s because there aren’t many things happens actually. That’s also why I have the time to making this list.
Of course, I saw several movies and today we got another one from Netflix. I haven’t opened the envelope but I am pretty sure it’s “Eastern Promises”.
Well, I also have one story to write so I shall do it tonight.
The latest big news I heard is the death of Indonesian second president Suharto who ruled the country for 32 years.
Well, that’s it for the moment(*)

And I really disliked ‘Little Miss Sunshine’, ‘The Descent’, ‘M:I 3′, and ‘Miami Vice’…
I still have lots to see for 2006 also. I am surprised that you don’t like Little Miss Sunshine because it seemed like the kind of movie that easily love by everyone. I understand that you don’t like The Descent though.
I just realize that I haven’t put Little Children on my list. Somehow I missed it, so thanks for mention that
I never really remember the years, so I couldn’t make a top. So, let me think for a moment what have I seen lately…
Umm… Stardust? Too predictable, didn’t like it.
Pan’s Labyrinth – At first I thought it was an epic story kind of movie, but then it turned out to be great. Loved it.
Dawn of the Dead & 28 Days Later…. Horror movies? I don’t think so! I slept halfway through the second one.
I’m awful really, I could go on like this for hours! I so sick of easy cheap comedies and so called horror movies that only make me fall asleep.
I’d better go watch Family Guy now!
Pan’s Labyrinth is great movie. It’s sad though. Sorry that you fall asleep on 28 Days Later though
I’m sick and tired with many of comedy movies also although I found Juno is so interesting and probably one of the funniest one I’ve ever seen.
