pull that trigger now
snitch, you hold the gun
the saturday was spent at red star, only the most scrumptious dimsum place in singapore. it was back to the old days where aunties would wear hongkong type fashion, pushing carts of steam hagau, siewmai, chok, stewed pork ribs and fried yams. the decor was pretty old school too, festive red carpets and historical cutlery.
considering we spent 3 and a half hours there, consuming more than 30 types of dimsum, i think i really like it. the company of nneth', steph, janice and cassie made it a perfect way of spending a saturday morning.
caught disturbia (2007)
with shia lebouf in it and it claiming to be a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, i was pretty excited about it. it was either this of halle berry in perfect stranger. ugh.
disturbia was thrilling no doubt, but nothing compared to hitchcock's brilliant film. it was peppered with urking scenrios which will make you sit up and direct the victim where to go because he is doing the opposite of what every sane person in an emergancy would do.
i would recommend it on a weekday, not a weekend. oh, and if you are a guy trying to get into a girl's pants, this movie might work.
baybeats was, fast. me and mer spent more time eating at yoshi then actually cheering on the bands. we're too old for the jumping, drum beats and young kids. most of all the noise, the crowd and the lack of breathing space got to us.
i caught two shows over the weekend: Bowling for Columbine and A very Long Engagement
this is by far the best michael moore documentary i have seen. this beats farenheit 911 even though that was good too.
not too much here, i intend to speak very strongly about guns soon
this was a show i wanted to catch eons ago. what attracted me was the promising story line and how it was more of a historical movie than an actual love-me-lost-you film.
i hated it.
too complicated a plot. the worst part was the ending. it left a dry taste in my mouth because it was so abrupt. the ultimate question - is he alive or not - was answered, but the main theme of the story was a special insatiable love two young adolescents had. the whole story encompassed that and then at the climax, it fails to deliver what an audience would call, a hollywood moment.
i did like the filming. it was safe filming, a lot of cuts, a lot of good 180degree rules obeyed. even though it was safe, the film called for this system. the colours of the film were very dark and goth, too much funny camera work might have confused the audience.
on top of that, don't you just find gaspard ulliel absolutely edible?
that's my idea of a french revolution.
