I love youI must be crazy now
Maybe I dream too much
But when I think of you
I long to feel your touch
To whisper in your ear
Words that are old as time
Words only you would hear
If only you were mine
I wish I could go back to the very first day I saw you
Should've made my move when you looked in my eyes
'cause by now I wish that you'd feel the way that I do
And I'd whisper these words as you'd lie here by my side
I love you, please say
You love me too, these three words
They could change our lives forever
And I promise you that we will always be together
Till the end of time
So today, I finally find the courage deep inside
Just to walk right up to your door
But my body can't move when I finally get to it
Just like a thousand times before
Then without a word I'll hand you this letter
Read my hope this finds the way into your heart, it said
I love you, please say
You love me too, these three words
They could change our lives forever
And I promise you that we will always be together
Till the end of time
Well maybe I, I need a little love yeah
And maybe I, I need a little care
And maybe I, maybe you, maybe you, maybe you
Oh you need somebody just to hold you
If you do, just reach out and I'll be there
I love you, please say
You love me too
Please say you love me too
Till the end of time
These three words
They could change our lives forever
And I promise you that we will always be together
Oh, I love you
Please say you love me too
Please please
Say you love me too
Till the end of time
My baby
Together, together, forever
Till the end of time
I love you
I will be your light
Shining bright
Shining through your eyes
My baby...

EverytimeEverytime I open my eyes
is another day that I'm blessed
with you in my life
and I'm just glad
to have lived this life the way I had
because it led me to you
and all the beauty that follows
Everytime I breathe
is another breath of new life
because you're here
and I'm just glad
to have loved you the way I still do
because without you
everything in my life becomes hollow
Everytime I pray
is another gratitude from me
for having met you
and I'm just glad
to have taken a bold step to know you
because away from you
my heart will be filled only with sorrow
Everytime I dream
is another dream about you
and everything we shared
and I'm just glad
to have spent time being with you
because... I love you
and this feeling I have for you
will never cease to grow

Casino Royale vs 300So what the hell does 300 have to do with Casino Royale, and vice versa? The answer is nothing. I just happen to watch both movies in the same day, that's all, and liked both.
Let's start with Casino Royale. As we all know, it's the 21st James Bond movie if you don't count Never Say Never Again, which isn't an official James Bond movie, and let's just leave the production politics out of this. The first thing you have to know about Bond movies is that they are guy movies. How so? Well, as you probably would've noticed if you're smart enough, James Bond is the kind of character that they always use these words to describe,
"Women want him, and men want to be him."
So he's a hero that couldn't save the world more than he already has. He's charming, handsome, sleek, smooth, smart, athletic, and in some occasions, vengeful. However, I regret to report that the new (5th) actor they had chosen to play the role of James Bond, Daniel Craig, fits none of the above descriptions. Then again, this is no ordinary Bond movie either. Let me explain.
Casino Royale is the first of Ian Fleming's Bond novels, and the story revolves around a much younger, more reckless, more arrogant and more hot-headed James Bond. Being newly promoted to the Double-O status, young Bond did things the shoot-first-ask-questions-later method, causing endless problems for his superiors as well as himself.
As a movie, I can see nothing wrong about it. The story, typical of regular Bond movies, is about Bond trying to save the world, and in this case, it involves a game of Hold'em Poker, which makes it a rather interesting story, unlike other bond movies that revolves around diamonds, nukes and other stuffs related to terrorism. I guess the only problem with this movie is still Daniel Craig himself. Here's a photograph of Craig:
Well as you can see here, while he's not horrifyingly ugly, he's not exactly Bond material now, is he? Of course, his eyes are beautifully blue, and his hair gorgeously blonde, but that does not make him the best looking Bond, does it? His head is rather round, his eyes "beagled", his nose is... well, fairly rounded, and that smirk on his face... He's more of a Le Chiffre (the main villain in Casino Royale, in case you're wondering) than James Bond, wouldn't you think?
And besides that, what do we usually look for in Bond movies? Right, Bond girls. In this movie I'd say both Eva Green and Caterina Murino are beautiful, but I don't know why Eva Green keeps reminding me of 毛舜筠 (Mo Shun Gwan), a Honkie actress. Here are photos of both:
Well, see the resemblence?
Of course, one of the most important elements in Bond movies is the Bond mobile. Throughout the history of James Bond movies, Bond mobiles has always been British sports cars, including Aston Martins and Lotuses (or is it "Loti"?), and in several occasions, the Bimmers (Z8 and M5, if I remember correctly). In this movie, it's the Aston Martin DBS.
Now ain't she a beauty?
Well, too bad, Bond crashed it, setting a Guinness World Record for most cannon rolls in a car by completing 7 turns. And the most saddening part of the story? They crashed not 1, but 3 DBSes just to achieve that crash! Man, that ain't no way to treat an Aston, yo! Why couldn't they just use CG or something?
Anyways, it's a terrible shame that the Aston only appeared like... 2 times before it crashed. When James Bond's love interest Vesper Lynd was kidnapped, he jumped into the Aston and sped off along the curvy country roads, and just when we were anticipating an exciting car chase, Bond crashed the car to avoid running over Vesper Lynd who was left tied up in the middle of the road. Even though it's a shame the Aston had to die, the crash was very well excuted and very believable.
So, overall, I'd give a rating of 7 to Casino Royale. Out of 10, of course. Despite Daniel Craig, I'd say this is a proper James Bond movie. The motion graphics of the intro is very nice, too.
Alright, finally we're done with Casino Royale, let's move on, then, to 300.
Right, so basically, 300 is a movie based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, 300. The story is about King Leonidas of Sparta who sparked a conflict between Sparta and Persia because he refused to surrender his country to the Persian King Xerxes who has an army massive and strong enough to conquer half the globe.
King Xerxes. You can see from his elaborate makeups and piercings that he means business.
However, on seeking the blessing of the high priests, the Oracle (sort of like an impersonation of the Gods) prophecized the fall of Sparta, and because it was Sparta's law that the King must follow the words of the Oracle, the King was forbidden to wage war against the Persians. However, being determined to protect his land against invasion, Leonidas brought along 300 of the finest Spartans as his personal bodyguards for a "stroll" to the Hot Gates, the northern part of Sparta.

This is how you create the falling dominoes effect by the cliffs.
There, Leonidas chose to place his 300 at a bottle neck at the entrance to Sparta where the massive number of Persian army would be rendered useless because of the hiatus in the path. There, they fought boldly and intelligently, successfully killing thousands and thousands of Persians until Ephialtes, a deformed but spared Spartan betrayed Leonidas by leading the Persians to a small goat path that enabled them to surround the Spartan elites, leading to the death of Leonidas and his 300 finest soldiers.
Overall, what I can tell you about this movie is that it is very beautiful. The story is rather simple. However, the screenplay and CG effects were extremely fascinating. I especially liked the part with the charging rhino, even though it had yet to show us its powers before it died at the feet of one of the Spartans. Everything was made to look almost the same as Frank Miller's graphic novel, and it was a success. Not only had they created magnificent backgrounds by replacing the blue screens, they had also taken care of all those minute details, including the lightings and all. It's an excellent movie. 8 out of 10.

逃避你世界最遥远的一种相距中
明明迷恋然而又不知怎向你形容
呆想只会越盼越冻
我怎么可得到你认同
我不清楚不太懂
世界最遥远的一种相距中
明明情深然而亦不敢亲切地抱拥
呆等感觉被我断送
纵使看不清所爱面容
仍未敢伸出我手触碰
逃避你
却又期待我可跟你做情人
而用情的心可天昏地暗
逃避你
爱是遥又远得很
而我始终不敢靠近
还是不相信能和你合衬
世界最遥远的一种相距中
明明留恋然而让辗转的挂念扑空
回忆心里越载越重
却不珍惜这一次重逢
我的思想像完全失控
逃避你
却又期待我可跟你做情人
而用情的心可天昏地暗
逃避你
爱是遥又远得很
而我始终不敢靠近
还是不相信能和你合衬
如共你从没开始不会有终结
谁人在意情在我心的深处不可以停止
逃避你
却又期待我可跟你做情人
而用情的心可天昏地暗
逃避你
爱是遥又远得很
而我始终不敢靠近
还是不相信能和你合衬
