Review on Autumn in New York! Aug 22, 2000

I just came back from watching "Autumn in New York" starring the famous Richard Gere and Winona Ryder.
I was actually expecting a relaxing romantic movie, but instead, I found myself in my seat, restless waiting for the end of the movie! Despite the good camera angles and very beautiful settings, the story and the lines did not carry through, sad to say. There were too many short scenes and bed/kissing scenes that did NOT make sense or that were unnecessary or simply did not fit. This movie certainly does not compare to "Return to Me" starring Minnie Driver and David Duchovny (although both movies have the same flavor), a very touching yet funny story. So in conclusion, I wish I had not wasted that $8 on this movie and had taken a nap instead (but thank goodness my sis paid for it).

    Hmmmm... You should check out THAT movie... Hehehehehehehehehehehe!! Well, I am sorry you did not enjoy it, but at the same time, so glad I did not have to watch it... Whew.
    I will agree that Return To Me was a good flick but I think that was because it had a cast of talented people playing funny characters. I do not think I have seen Richard Gere in a good movie... ever?? Oh well, just a thought...

Who I am

I'm Derek Chin and I'm very happy to be here. Life is a journey and an adventure, and I tend to be the "Big Picture" guy. (I ask silly questions like: "How does this help me and society in the long run?") I have lofty ideals and goals, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. This is a personal blog, so please excuse the tangents I go on, or the type of language I use once in a fucking while. I enjoy making music, doodling, and movie-hopping. Yeah I do.

What I do

XHTML/CSS/PHP/JS/MySQL/Ruby(on Rails) is the name of the game. I've had a great experience at very different companies and environments.
