Chasing Liberty

At work, we have to test all different kinds of video clips on the Real One Player for the phones... combine different types of video formats with different types of audio formats in different file formats, different frame sizes, frame rates, bit rates... locally, streaming over GPRS, WCDMA... so there are literally thousands of clips generated for testing. One of the clips used is the trailer of "Chasing Liberty" (actually, only the first minute of the 2+ minute trailer).

So day in, day out, I see this clip. I see it in my dreams too. I decided to rent the movie and watch it, you know, just out of curiosity. It turned out to be a pretty good movie. Mandy Moore is sweet and can actually act. And Matthew Goode is just plain cute! The sidekicks Weiss and Morales are fun to watch, although the character McGruff is annoying and totally unnecessary. Then there's the beautiful and breathtaking shots of European scenery... I really really want to visit Europe now!!

Too bad Goode's character Ben Calder is not in the first minute of the trailer, so I don't see him day in and day out :( But I can see him in my dreams ;) Shhhh, don't tell Bruce... hehe.. but he's probably dreaming about Mandy Moore, so... haha... anyway, if you wanna relax and watch a light hearted movie, you might want to consider Chasing Liberty. Not award winning or life changing, but fun and heart warming enough to bring a smile to your face (in your dreams or otherwise!)
