How long has it been since my last update? Quite long I suppose.

I just finished watching "Empire of the Sun" and I must say, it really is a nice movie. Moving away from all the usual Hollywood blockbusters gives movies a fresh feel. Although the movie was made 20 years ago, the simplicity of it still manages to captivate the audience.

Here's a short synopsis of the film. Empire of the Sun is a movie about a child growing up within the period of World War II in China. The film follows his journey through the rough times as he ventures from his home to the internment camps. It provides a glimpse of the war through the eyes of a maturing boy.
