I was lucky to meet Yaman the day before, as he brought to my attention that they are screening the movie @ “Makan” in Jabal El-Waibdeh. I first heard about the film in the pilot of JameedKast, and added it to my to-watch list.
As I do all the time, I forgot the time of the screening, and arrived 1 hour before (6:30 instead of 7:30).. after spending an hour walking downtown (which I hadn’t for some time) I went back, sat down, and started the journey. The films takes us to Northern Iraq, to a Kurdish village near Turkish borders, with refugee children who are making a living out of digging land-mines, and it starts in 2003 2 weeks before the US invasion of Iraq.
The film is rich with characters, I’ve rarely seen such moving performances from children. Film had everything, comedy, heart-tearing drama, and even some action. The Only reason that I didn’t shed any tear while watching it is because I was in a public place, and I have wajaha to maintain.
I will have to second Jameed’s 2 thumbs-up to the film, and encourage everyone to watch it.
I just returned from watching the movie Stealth and it was average, although I had an argument with my friend if it worth the 5 JDs we payed for the Cinema. Following may contain spoilers for the movie. The thing that I find to be silly about the movie is that it is a Pure […]
Yesterday I had some sort of a hot argument with a co-worker about illegal copying, and piracy, and so. It seems that he didn’t consider illegal use and illegal copying of software stealing. And using my powers of argument, I convinced that he belongs to jail. (We all do)
Basically, in this part of the world, […]
A couple of days ago I watched Der Untergang (Downfall), now I am not into German movies in general (maybe I only saw a couple, including Run Lola), but I really liked this one. The idea of having the last few days of the fall of Berlin as the set of this movie was interesting […]
Thanks to Lina who told us about the Jordan Short Film Fest., I alerted a couple of my friends, and went to see it tonight.. And it was good..
Few days ago someone shared a link to a short movie that was one of the winners of a contest that is related somehow to the EU. The movie is in Arabic, and some who are into the Jordan TV, and it’s way of reporting will find it funny. I know I did. The […]
I just came from the cinema after watching Alexander. As you may have guessed from the title of my post I didn’t like it much. There are lots of things that are wrong in the movie, to start with, why did Alexander’s army, and many of his friends speak English with an Irish or Scotch […]
I just watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. And it is the first time that I watch a movie for Jim Carrey that doesn’t have his same old jokes, body language and facial expresions. My Friend Anan hates Jim Carrey, and he thinks that he is like 3am […]
I just watched the movie “The Terminal“, a really nice Spielberg/Hanks piece.. At some point in the movie I remembered “Al Hodood” (The Borders) for Duraid Laham.. Of course one can’t compare those 2 movies, as they are in totally different places, with different plot and goals..
It never occur to me that one can have […]
Well, since I returned to Amman, I wanted to go to the cinema, and watch some nice movie.. any nice movie. But since I came here, there was nothing that worth seeing in the theaters in Amman, so, as a last option, I went with my friend Wazzan today to see “I, Robot”.
It is around 4:30 am now, I have work tomorrow, but I don’t even feel sleepy. My brain can’t stop thinking, I wish there is an off-button.
Today I looked around for a Keyboard-Mouse combo for Digitalui. I found some Wireless stuff, but then I discovered that he is looking for Wired things. I will look […]
