Brokeback Mountain Turns 10
Brokeback Mountain turns 10 years today. I think I've seen the film just three times. Twice when it came out and another time when I bought the DVD years later. I actually saw it a couple months before its release since my college got a hold of it somehow so I first saw it in a grand room with a bunch of college students. Oh and I cried... and cried.... and cried. Probably why I've only seen it three times, because in a lot of ways it still feels so raw and that's kudos to everyone involved especially Oscar-winning director Ang Lee, screenwriters Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana, and composer Gustavo Santaolalla. And of course the incomparable cast of Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams, and Anne Hathaway.

Movie Meme: Day 20
"31 Day Movie Meme"
Day 20 | Favorite kiss
This particular kiss comes from Brokeback Mountain and is between Ennis del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal). It comes four years after they first meet and spend time together at Brokeback Mountain herding sheep (among other activities) for the summer.
The great longing that must have simmered during that long break is quite evident even before the two men touched lips. When they first hug, the electricity between them is palpable. There's also this wonderful moment just before they kiss when Ennis turns toward his house to make sure his wife Alma (Michelle Williams) is not looking and the only things Jack is paying attention to are Ennis' lips...
Then they kiss. And it's one of those kisses that's no holds barred, passionate, throw you on the wall type of kissing. The excitement of their kiss is compounded by the danger of Alma seeing them, which she does, unseen by the two men...
As the audience digest this very important plot development, the two men wrap up their make-out session grazing their noses at one another and finally pulling away. Whew.

My 25 Favorite Actors
Nathaniel over at Film Experience Blog has listed his 25 Favorite Actors. He then asked his readers to come up with their own list, so I took him up on it.
Coming up with the list was relatively simple, but looking up pictures was a bit more difficult. But here they all are graced on magazine covers for your enjoyment. Below are 25 of my favorite film actors. It's a mostly modern list with a lot of younger actors, but hey this is my personal list isn't it?
Note: Ordered alphabetically.
Christian Bale * Eric Bana * Jamie Bell * Gael Garcia Bernal * Orlando Bloom * Don Cheadle * Matt Damon * Daniel Day-Lewis * Johnny Depp * Leonardo DiCaprio * Robert Downey, Jr. * Colin Farrell * Ralph Fiennes * James Franco * Joseph Gordon-Levitt * Ryan Gosling * Hugh Jackman * Heath Ledger * James Marsden * James McAvoy * Ewan McGregor * Paul Newman * Edward Norton * Sean Penn * Brad Pitt
What does your list look like?
