I don't know what happened to me, I used to know what's the right thing to do at the right time...but lately i think I've lost that ability. I tend to just say whatever is on my mind w/o "polishing" it...I don't like myself being this way, I want to go back to my old self...I wonder if it has anything to do w/ me losing the ability to feel...so I can't show/feel empathy for others...something inside me is gone...where can i find that piece back?

This weekend is a very relaxing one. First I tried tequila shot on friday w/ coworkers, then yesterday I went out to do everything I needed to. Between yesterday and today I watched three movies and one anime all together.
1)Awake - it talks about a patient still has conscious during operation. It's like the chinese saying of "靈魂出竅" which means the soul is separated w/ the body. The patient was experiencing and seeing everything in the third person view and he finds out many things that he didn't know before...
I'd rate this 4/5 cuz the twist there wasn't expected and it kinda surprised me a bit.
2)Rendition - this movie is about an innocent man got accused for being involved in a terrorist attack happened in North Africa and accidentally killed an American...
I really appreciate the freedom of speech that ppl have in the States. They would allow film makers to produce a movie that talks about how US government aren't always right. I'm sure you won't see this sort of movie coming out from China...lol But the overall pace of the movie is kinda slow...so 3.5/5
3)投名狀 - a chinese war type of movie. This movie is all about fighting, bloody and violence. I had to cover my eyes several times. Actually the main theme of the movie is the "brotherly love" between men in the army. People can be there for each other during down times, but once their lives get better, the minute they have more money and fame, things are just not the same anymore. 人, 只可以共患難, 而不能共富貴.
Since there was wayyyy too much blood and violent to my taste but the movie itself is pretty good. I will give it 4/5
4)2077 日本鎖國, Japanese Anime - 3D computer graphics movie that talks about the Japanese isolated their country w/ the outside world and went on to do research and experiements about turning people into bio-weapons. Splicing bio chemicals w/ human DNA to create a new generation of "life". These transformed "ppl" do not feel tired or hunger becuz they are technically robots. The Interpol from States is trying to stop them but to find that the entire population of Japan...are all dead.
I really liked this movie, 4.5/5
That's all the movie I watched these two days. The next on my list is "I could never be your woman" and "Beowulf".
