An epic

Ben-Hur

I like this film especially Charlton Heston as Judah Ben-Hur. Since watching this film
I'd like to watch films where Charlton Heston was the actor.

But the most impressive part of the film, to me, is the




chariot race.

Ben-Hur



It stars Charlton Heston as Judah Ben-Hur and Stephen Boyd as Messala.
It premiered at Loews Theater in New York City on November 18, 1959.
It went on to win eleven Academy Awards, including best picture for 1959,
a feat equaled only by Titanic (1997) and The Lord of the Rings:
Return of the King (2003).

Dracula

This actor had acted in many films, but he was well known as the King of Vampires. I had watched many dracula films but I think Lee is the best


Dracula.



Christopher Lee

born Christopher Frank Carandini Lee
on May 27, 1922 in London, England

His height (6'4) and face made him a 'good' Dracula.

I'd like to watch super hero films when I was a kid.
There are many super heroes such as Superman, Ultraman, Spiderman, Zorro

My favorite superman is


Christopher Reeve

Date of birth
25 September 1952
New York, New York, USA
Date of death
10 October 2004
Mount Kisco, New York, USA. (heart attack)


But I prefer the Superman of today in the Smallville tivi series




Every kids love



Zorro


Spiderman


Ultraman



bAT Man

and other super heroes. WHY ?

It's because THE GOOD MAN WINS and
THE BAD MAN LOSE...
THE BAD MAN LOSE...
THE BAD MAN LOSE...

Baby and Jackie

Jackie Chan returns with another action-packed thriller,
this time with a young child co-star in tow.



Rob-B-Hood revolves around a little bundle of joy who brings
a thieving trio to their knees and turns their world upside down,
providing a rousing mix of comedy, a touch of heart-breaking drama,
backbreaking stunts, and a dash of romance.

Megastar

In my younger days, Hindustani films were the most popular,the young and old
like it. Today, it's still the same. My favorite actor, then, was


Sashi Kaapor.
Rajesh Khanna (he's a handsome actor) was also my favorite.Then there were also
Amitabh Bachan, Dhramendra and others. The beautiful actresses 'were Sharmila Tagore,
Praveen Babi, Hema Malini,



Zeenat Aman


and others.

The 'bad guy' I admire most is

Prem Chopra.



Anybody out there who was not angry when looking at this person in his films? Leave it in Comment.


Those were the days my friend ...

Today...

The megastar of Bollywood---

I watched several of his movies...

My son also watched a few of his movies and told me that this actor
would never act in a film which needs him express an angry face.
But then I watched the movie Asoka and gave it to him to watch it. He was greatly suprised
by the ability of this actor.

Shah Rukh Khan

(also known as SRK or King Khan,
born November 2, 1965, New Delhi, India,
is a popular Indian actor.
Time magazine stated that he was probably
the most recognizable movie star in the world
in their October 2004 edition (3.2 billion fan following).
He is also the highest paid actor in Bollywood,
after being paid a whopping 12 crores for Don.

Chen Kaige --- The Promise

Today, after my Maghrib prayer, I sat infront of the tv and tuned in the Discovery Channel. Then, there was a documentary about Chen Kaige. For about an hour I watched the documentary which touches the work of Chen Kaige in making films. Actually I had watched one of his films in 2005 and still kept the VCD ---The Promise.




After I had finished watching this documentary, I realized that the only person in Malaysia who can match


Chen Kaige
is


P. Ramlee.

That's my humble opinion.

About films - Malay films

It's been a long time that I've not watched Malay films. So I think there would be much progress since then. I just read their previews in the local paper. This blog of mine - www.mybolehwood.blogspot.com is meant to write something about Malaysian films and other films that I watched and also about other people opinions of certain films.

That's all for now.
