Movies Galore!

Ok first an ad for one of my softball pals. There's a sports photography exhibition at Vivo City from tomorrow till Thursday; photos of the 06 Asian Games will be on display. Check it out here for more details.

I love cold weather, I really do. Walking about in the cold is just so refreshing. The thing I hate is the static electricity. I keep getting zapped whenever I touch the door handle or press the buttons in the elevators. Bzzt. Bzzzt. Bzzzzzt. And it hurts like a bitch!

I've been watching a ton of movies on the flights. So far, I've caught The Departed, Little Miss Sunshine, Open Season, Accepted and various other old movies.

The Departed
Definitely worth watching with a great cast. Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen AND Mark Wahlberg. All head-liners in their own right. It's supposed to be the Hollywood version of Infernal Affairs, but since I haven't seen it, I have no idea if the storyline diverges at the end.

Little Miss Sunshine
This is a great show! It's about a hilariously dysfunctional family who seem to hate each other's guts but they band together to go on a road trip to attend the Little Miss Sunshine competition for the little girl's sake. And the scene when they all dance together to Supafreak is just hilarious but touching as well.

Open Season
Surprisingly funny and witty show that works for adults as well. Quote: "I'm not a doe, I'm not a buck... I'm a duck!" Teeheehee. And the animation's great!

Accepted
Movie about a high-school kid who doesn't get into any college and sets up a fake college to get his parents off his back. It's not a bad way to spend 90 minutes of your life: it's quite funny and takes a few potshots at college life in the US of A.

I just hope that when I get back, the movies will have been changed to the February schedule cos I'm out of stuff to watch.

lil miss sunshine was damn sad lah

It was less sad than bittersweet, and definitely had more funny moments than sad ones.

I liked it because it made me laugh but also made me appreciate that the strength of family ties should not be underestimated.

I thought Infernal affairs was waayyyy better than the Departed, though the angmo reviewers said the opposite.
