About Me

First film I remember seeing ever was a Charlie Chaplin short , silent and in B&W. Very early 1960s thereabouts. Then came Marlon Brando’s One Eyed Jacks and Pendekar Bujang Lapok (maybe they were not released in the same year but these two always popped up whenever I try to think of what were the first full length movies I’d watched from start to finish in a proper cinema). Also remembered sneaking out without my parents’ OK to see Guns In The Afternoon , absolutely memorable as a film and as a reminder how I returned home to find father waiting for me with a cane in his hand. For that reason alone Guns In The Afternoon was one of the first VHS I bought many many years later . It was a Sam Peckinpah film of course and little did I know I was to idolize him (again years later) through The Wild Bunch and The Straw Dogs. The early James Bond films (Dr No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger and Thunderball) provided another turning point ,this time for implied sex, violence and suaveness in movies , and why not ? My hormones were changing too at that time, and a bigger swirl of the very same hormones occurred when I first caught Briggitte Bardot in a cinema in Kuantan. I didnt think it was And God Created Woman , it must be something else (it was a B&W film) . But BB left me devastated just at a time when I was already dreaming about Ursula Andress, Dianela Bianchi, Honor Blackman, Claudine Auger, Luciana Paoluzzi, et al). There was a magazine at the time called Movie News (published by Shaw Brothers) which provided the fuel for an already revving engine. This was essentially first phase , right up until 1968.
