Little Miss Sunshine
- quite a feel-good story about a dysfunctional family who embarks on a road trip so that the darling of the family can go for a 'Little Miss Sunshine' children's pageant. Dad is a loser trying to sell his guru management-success formula, Mum's...pretty sane actually. Uncle is a gay Proust scholar who recently tried to commit suicide cos his lover ran off with a rival Proust scholar. Son is a wierdo who think he's enlightened by Nietzsche and refuses to talk as a vow before going to pilot school. All losers in a way lah, but eventually they shrugged off their mental barriers one by one in the journey and came out more human. More clean fun than American Beauty, so should be a hit.
Death Note
- apparently adapted from a Jap Manga where a genius picks up a death book dropped by the death god, allowing him to kill anyone just by entering the name and having the face in his mind. At first wanting to creating a crime-free world, he then used his power to kill off the detectives who are tracing him, pitting his wits against another genius called 'L'. The story is pretty cool (ignore the cartoon character of the death god always hanging around the lead), ends in a cryptic fashion that demands for a sequel to it. Hell, it better come quick...I can't wait.
