So we watched American Hustle again
Our original hair-and-movie review is here.
Second viewing with Noel
– What great acting by everyone! I love how it seems so messy but the director was in full control.
– The director loves Amy Adams: what a character intro! Irving spots Sydney, music rises, aaand close-up.
Music to our favorite character intro ever
Popcorn shot out of my nose when Jennifer Lawrence was dusting furniture while lipsynching.
– I know! I love the lipsynch part—na may galit! I have a strange feeling that what Jennifer Lawrence did in the scene with Amy Adams was pure improv—how can you script that? She’s so good! And pantay sila ni Amy! Puwedeng nerbiyosin si Dakota Fanning (private joke) kung kaharap niya either of the two.
– And everyone’s hair is a character! How can Christian Bale have that hair and still be hot?
– Pareho tayo ng inisip! I still found Bale hot with a pot belly and a bad hairpiece! May laban si Christian Bale, ha! Wala nga lang siyang equivalent to Leo’s cerebral palsy sequence in Wolf of Wall Street. And also Bradley Cooper—love love love! What great actors!
– I finally get what people see in Bradley Cooper. For starters, what a dancer.
– I love how Amy Adams danced in that scene—nakuha niya ang pagmamaganda 70’s style.If it’s true that Bradley’s gay, that just makes him doubly amazing to me.
– If rumors are to be believed, Christian Bale is the token straight guy haha.
– Tama ka umaarte nga ang boobs ni Amy Adams. At ang kuko ni Jennifer Lawrence! Hahaha! That JLaw does so many small surprising things as an actress. Like the way she said, “Sometimes, I think that I’ll die before I change” is so affecting! And it’s a small acting moment that’s so sincere—ang galing niya!
– “Master of passive-aggressive karate.” Brilliant! Naloka ako when De Niro started speaking to the sheik.
– Kurak! And finally, a decent de Niro performance! Nakakatakot siya!
– American Hustle is a child of Scorsese slaying his father. I think it’s a compliment to Marty.
Opening in local cinemas today. We’re watching it again!

Tawang-tawa kami sa karakter ni JLaw sa pelikulang ito.
“Smell my nails!”
“It smells like roses!”
“With garbage!”

silentfollower: Nakakatakot si JLaw dahil 22 lang siya noong i-shoot ang pelikula. Ang galing. Sana Best Actress si Amy Adams pero mahal din namin si Manang Cate. Dapat tie!

Ms. JZ, kakaibang talento ang mayroon si JLaw, bagamat bata pa lamang siya sa industriya. Naalala ko ang naisulat mo about Malcolm Gladwell: “…talent is mysterious and hardwork over decades will only get you so far.”
Sana nga ay tie. Matagal na ring walang tie sa Academy.
