GV 3rd row sucks

but the movie was awesome! whatever people say, robert downey jnr is cool ok! (or at least his character is rather charming) maybe i'm just a comic-to-movie sucker, but it's the only type of action films i enjoy watching. oh i like don cheadle too! didn't think he was the action movie type tho. anyway. watch till the post-credits ok!

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

i think the most interesting part was how they made a baby look so... old. 

just watched it for the first time on my bro's hard disk, it makes me wanna read the original short story (might actually take me a shorter time to read it than watching the movie). it's by F. Scott Fitzgerald, i studied one of his books for A levels. he's an amazing American novelist who lived and wrote bout the jazz era (bout 1920s). he was a big time celebrity in his day and hard-core partygoer (with his wife, no less) but also a talented and importantly, a v hardworking writer. he kept editing his drafts so as to convey the most meaning in as short a phrase as possible, that's why i think he's so quotable. the stuff he writes are like easy to just skim thru, but then you wouldn't get the deeper meaning and emotion behind the dense lines. it's very subtle and EVERY word has reason.

ok enough lit geek. go read a book! 

hear me!

watch this taiwanese movie! it will melt your heart. besides the typical sweetness, this show has like 90% of its dialogue in sign language! very cool. silence is powerful;)

Whip It!

i'm in love with the idea of roller skating! those with four wheels in a square, so old school!

btw "whip it" refers to a stunt that's pulled off in roller derby, really awesome;)

i really like ellen page! she's such a fresh atypical natural beauty, and the films she stars in always have some family theme or growing pains, but somehow comes across very realistically and not corny. drew barrymore's the director and she also stars in this film, it's very very funny and so is she! or at least the character she plays. but i do think she has a great sense of humour too.

ok so if you like ellen page and drew barrymore, go watch this movie! i tell you, you'd feel like owning a pair of roller skates is the coolest thing in the world:)

looking forward to hall 5

 

me and my handsome brother on his bday celeb last thurs!:)

sorry i've been so lazy to post during CNY!! kinda creepy cuz i found out my friends actually read my blog (and i didn't know) then i realised it could be read by like anyone and i wouldn't know who. all you creepy stalkers!! (actually FB's more stalkery but its not as creepy somehow)

interestingly i felt that there was more time this CNY, probably cuz it coincided with the weekend so it just felt like an extended weekend. i watched like 3 korean shows in 2 days, 2 on mio home movies and one on chU, i'm seriously hooked. gonna take me awhile to get out of the holiday mood :(

and i haven't finished my marking!! sighhh...

wasted $8.50

totally wasted my brain cells watching some blasphemous vulgar gory lame NO STORYLINE show! EVERYONE PLEASE DON'T WASTE ANY TIME OR CASH ON THE MOVIE LEGION IT SUCKS!!! it doesn't deserve even a sympathy popcorn. negative popcorns maybe. like take away the outline of the popcorns even. ARGHH it's a terrible show please don't watch it.

Touch of Magic

I feel so artsy HAHAHA I watched this quaint french movie at the picture house last night, Magique, about this single mom and her young obedient lonely sensitive son. The scenery was seriously stunning, countryside and farmland and starry night sky... made me want to live in some farm forever!

The funny part was when the boy burst into quiet song HAHAHAHAHHA it was very sweet but i got a shock la! it wasn't the Sound Of Music kind la, more natural and like singing to himself, and the lyrics were quite touching but it kinda spoiled the experience that had to refer to the subtitles. Oh ya the bursting into song thing happens throughout the movie. But don't be discouraged from watching the movie la you'll feel more cultured after a good dose of french!!
