CDs, DVDs, I LOVE these kinda questions. Too bad not that many reporters ask them. Will send the movies first cos am so exhausted the brain is not working properly. Here goes (in no particular order) :

3. Carlito’s Way

Al Pacino and Sean Penn at their finest. Two of my idols in the same movie. Period. And that voice-over in the last scene, perfection. Perfection. I died watching that last scene.

4. Bride With The White Hair

I watched this on a rerun on TV when I was a girl/teenager, and realised that instead of the bubblegum, cutesy, flawless, girl-next-door, submissive and non-threatening (to men) idols that a girl of my age should be prostrate to, Lin Ching Hsia’s character in the film was MY idea of a real idol.

5. The Assassination Of Richard Nixon

Sean Penn. Raw emotions to the point of being painful to watch. Very few actors can be that raw in front of the camera. He will be my idol now and forever. His performance was a masterpiece.

Note: This was written in 2008.
