Sunday, March 30, 2008 Well personal updates for this weekend: 1) Sat: Met up with Ah Meng in orchard where we chatted randomly and walked aimlessly haha. We also watched "The Orphanage" which turned out to be in Spanish (many who watched didn't know either) and was pretty mediocre. The scary movie wasn't that scary and the whole cinema was like some class watching movie in school, making rowdy noises as they expressed aloud on lame the horror show was. I don't understand the ending. I really don't. haha. 2) Watched Transamerica: Quite a controversial film especially considering it deals with topics of TRANSEXUALITY, HOMOSEXUALITY and even the PORN industry. With that comes certain degree of R-Rated-ness (yes, it does show the sperm shooter), it requires a level of maturity from the watcher to appreciate the sense of the movie. Not a movie with a fantastic storyline since it is more of a American road trip, just that it involves a transexual. Story aside, Felicity Huffman did put up an excellent performance as Bree, or previously known as Stanley. The voice, make-up and behaviour was certainly very convincing. Thankfully she won a Golden Globe for it. Next up for me: Brokeback Mountain. 3) Revamped J*LOVE Music: After much consideration (and with motivation from seeing happyface XY's webby), i've decided to relaunch my music webby and restart my own music chart ranking! I did my own charts when i was in secondary one and two and stopped to focus on my studies for the next crucial four years. Now that i have time, i want to do something i like and this is definitely it. Well, i've said enough of it in the beginning so just go to my website to show me support ok! 4) Sun: Xing Ming and a whole lot of Sian-ness aka Bitch Fit acting up on me again. 5) Watched Crash: This Oscar Winning Film (who stole the limelight from Brokeback) also deals with the very touchy topic of RACISM. The movie does a fantastic job in showing how a group of people are interconnected together because of racism. A very intriguing film supported by a wonderful cast, including Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon and Thandie Newton. One of the most memorable scene was the one in which Thandie's character was trapped in an overturned car, only to be rescued by the corrupt racist police officer ( played by Dillon) who sexually molested her in front of her husband. Her struggle to make the right decision (saving herself and being "touched" again by her molestor) left a lasting impression on me. This movie, although serious, can still be understood and sends a very important message we should all learn - to look beyond skin colour, race, and religion and see people for who they are. So let's discard all forms of discrimination! music.city.soul || 9:34 PM || 0 comments |
