About shadow8

entrancing
You have an entrancing kiss~ the kind that leaves
your partner bedazzled and maybe even feeling
he/she is dreaming. Quite effective; the kiss
that never lessens and always blows your
partner away like the first time.

What kind of kiss are you?

morally deficient
Threat rating: Medium. Your total lack of decent
family values makes you dangerous, but we can
count on some right wing nutter blowing you up
if you become too high profile.

What threat to the Bush administration are you?

Which Colossal Death Robot Are You?


Dialogue in the Mountains by Li Po

You ask me why I lodge in these emerald hills;
I laugh, don't answer--my heart is at peace.
Peace blossoms and flowing waters
go off to mysterious dark,
And there is another world,
not of mortal men.



All the subtle flavors of my life
are become bitter seeds
and poisoned leaves
without you

You represent what's true
I drain the color from the sky
And turn blue
without you

These arms lack a purpose
Flapping like a humming-bird
I'm nervous 'cause
I'm the left eye
you're the right

Would it not be madness to fight
We come 1

In you the song which rights my wrongs
In you the fullness of living
The power to begin again
From right now, in you

We come 1

I'm unafraid
never never scared
Worries washed
pressed air
I am the left eye
you're the right
Would it not be madness to fight

We come 1

-Faithless



Who Am I?
I am your typical 22-year-old college graduate who has an unhealthy interest in cult movies, dance music, girls, sports, and Paris Hilton. My hobbies including writing movie reviews (naturally), watching TV, sleeping, chillin' with friends, clubbin', reading, working out, playing basketball, studying martial arts, procrastinating, and generally having fun.

I hope that you will find my reviews to be comprehensive, thorough, and at the same time, entertaining. You may not agree with me all the time, but I always strive to be honest and to write from the heart. I don't compromise my principles in order to "impress" people or to show off my "expertise" in film criticism. Although I may measure a film against preconceived notions (e.g. the "hype" a film is receiving), I always evaluate a film based on its own merits.

What do I believe in?
I believe in love because this makes life more meaningful and worthwhile, knowing there are others out there who fulfill one's life.

I believe in generosity because by helping others, one can truly find satisfaction in him/herself.

I believe in freedom because only by being free can we truly learn the virtue of humanity.

I believe in hard work because this can help lead us down the road to success.

I believe in individuality because being ourselves is an inherent right.

I believe in diversity because we can learn from each others' differences.

I believe in balance because this can lead to finding peace within the self while excess can be a detriment to one's well being.


Favorite movies (no particular order):
The Killer
Hard Boiled
Fight Club
Once Upon a Time in America
The Godfather I & II
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Graduate
L.A. Confidential
Dawn of the Dead
A Chinese Ghost Story
Bonnie & Clyde

Favorite music: Trance, techno, house, progessive...basically anything that has groove and makes me wanna dance. A fan of New Age music (Enya, Enigma, Delirium) and R&B (Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans) as well. Also enjoy the soulful music of Eric Clapton, Don Henley, Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel; the energy of the Beastie Boys and Asian pop (Utada Hikaru, Jinusean, others); and classical music.

Favorite TV shows: The Simpsons, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Saturday Night Live, The A-Team, Miami Vice.
