Tea Ettiquete Around the World
Taken from Pinterest.com

for future reference

I love tea!

In South Africa, always accept, never refuse, and always express gratitude. Drink it all or the host will assume you didn’t like their tea which to them it means you don’t like them or their country

Tootsie (#81)(#199)

This was funny. I loved the scenes with Teri Garr, Bill Murray and Sydney Pollack in particular. It’s a fun story and much better than Mrs. Doubtfire. I wouldn’t proclaim it to be one of the best comedies in the way that the AFI has, but it’s still entertaining. Dustin Hoffman’s really good (of course) but I would have given the Best Supporting Actress statue to Garr over Jessica Lange.

In the Mood for Love (Fa yeung nin wa) (#80)(#198)

I really liked this. The cinematography is exquisite, and I’m madly in love with the music. Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung offer gorgeously nuanced performances and I really loved Wong Kar Wai’s writing and direction on the whole. Really great film on the whole and so romantic. Reminded me of Brief Encounters in many ways.

Like Water for Chocolate (Como agua para chocolate) (#79)

I liked this. It’s a lovely adult fairytale, reminding me of Chocolat in many ways. Nice performances from Lumi Cavazos and Mario Ivan Martinez though no one really stood out as super sensational to me. Overall it was the story and wanting to know what would happen next that kept me going and I was really happy with the finished product.

Bringing Up Baby (#78)(#197)

This movie reminded me of why I enjoy screwball comedies (the wit is sublime) and also find them very irritating (they always end up feeling terribly long). It also reminded me of why I dislike Katherine Hepburn (she is either talking a-mile-a-minute or screeching) and enjoy Cary Grant (he’s a wonderful comic actor). Like other Howard Hawks films it drags at times and is generally surface level but when it’s on it’s on. Fun and witty but, largely because I’m not a Katherine Hepburn fan, it’s not one I’d watch again.

The Petrified Forest (#77)

Though the beginning’s slow, and there’s really not a lot to the picture as a whole, there are some really lovely moments. Bette Davis’ character lacks real definition, and Leslie Howard spends the movie philosophizing, but the latter’s Shakespearean nature generates some moments of really nice moral depth. Things pick up with Humphrey Bogart’s arrival though he doesn’t really get to do much either. On the whole, it’s an example of more talking than showing, but a fine picture anyway.

Siku and I are pretty much the same entities.
