Hong Kong Summer International Film Festival
I was into really crappy music waaaaay back when. Avril Lavigne and Hilary Duff were basically the two I spent most of my time listening to. In the summer of 2005, I was obsessed with Hilary Duff's song Wake Up. Forgive me I was 11. I still listen to it though. I may even sing it in the shower sometimes. Youtube didn't exist back then so I downloaded the MV via Limewire and played it on repeat that summer. I loved it. So when I knew that 500 Days of Summer is directed by Marc Webb and Zooey Deschanel is the lead, it went straight on to my to-watch list.
500 Days of Summer
I haven't been a big fan of Zooey Deschanel. I came across her in 2005/6 and she was SO pretty. Didn't find her completely attractive as an actress mainly because she looked stiff in motion!? Then I saw Yes Man on the plane, not sure if that was my first Deschanel film, but I automatically fell in love with her. It was her eyes and qurkiness. I swear I like her before Surf's Up, Yes Man and the She & Him music.
Sunshine Cleaning
Have been wanting to see it since Sundance 2008. Reason: Emily Blunt and Amy Adams!!!! Looks really interesting too.
Other films to check out:
The Limits of Control Reason: Tilda Swinton
The Girl on the Train Reason: Interesting-looking?
Mysterious Skin Reason: ~Intriguing~ only for the 18+ though :'(
A lot of them look good as well - the complete list.
HK Summer IFF - Official Site
Highly doubt I'll end up seeing these two in the cinema. Last year I was planning to see Happy-Go-Lucky in this festival and finally saw it at the start of this year. I'll probably either download/rent/buy these two above.
