Yet another lazy weekend I had. Just sitting ard in bed watching movie after movie. This time I even broke my personal record of marathoning. Of coz I had food breaks, toilet breaks & naps in between. Here goes...
1. Persepolis
2. American Pie
3. American Pie 2
4. American Pie: The Wedding
5. American Pie: Band Camp
6. American Pie: Beta House
7. Halloween
8. Halloween 2
9. Let the Right One In
10. Enter the Dragon
Haha try beating that!!
But eh, tbh, it isn't a good idea to watch all those American Pie movies in a row. Oh yeah, it was humorous, but the general idea gets a little... overwhelming. All those desperate guys trying to get laid, half naked women, nerdy wankers and omg Stifler. For those who haven't caught them yet, I really do suggest doing it one at a time with perhaps a couple of days or maybe even a week's break in between.
Outta that list up there, movies that I think deserve a mention are.
Persepolis : It's an animated film based on an autobiographical graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi about a girl growing up in Iran during the Revolution. How the Islamic Fundamentalists & the Iraq-Iran war affected families and had an impact on her while growing up. It also illustrates her experiences in Vienna, Austria where her parents sent her to study. During then she gets introduced to the "real world" - fake people, love, smoking, cheating... etc. Definitely a must watch especially if you are female.
Let the Right One In : A Swedish film about a frequently bullied 12-year old boy befriending a vampire and how she encouraged him to stand up for himself. No idea why it's labeled as a horror movie though. Yes, there were a couple of blood splattered scenes but those were pretty artistically done imo, not the typical gore shit u see in those slasher flicks. Mhmm... one mistake I made was having high expectations for this film. It's good, but not ultimately fantastic. Might have enjoyed it more if I watched it w/o the expectations.
Enter the Dragon (龍爭虎鬥) : Heyz it's a Bruce Lee film, need I say more? Even though the plot is pretty normal, Bruce Lee's martial arts make it a must watch... assuming that u don't hate martial arts films, that is.
Anyway, Tues night. WoW server maintainence. Went out for dinner @ Secret Recipe, PS. Had an Irish Lamb Stew set dinner... mhmm tastes as wonderful as I remembered (I used to wrk at that exact outlet). Went to Carrefour with the intention of getting some baking mats - am thinking of making banana muffins & shortbread cookies for CNY but unfortunately certain stuff wasn't found so guess I'll just get them elsewhere another day. Yah ~ gotta set my alarm specificaly so I can go out get it before rushing home for evening raids. Hopefully will be able to get the baking done on Friday ^-^
Ended the day with... a movie. Lol.
Red Cliff II : As the title clearly states, it tells the story of the Battle of Red Cliff during the Three Kingdoms period in China. Frankly, I have no idea about the history of the Three Kingdoms - will probably read up a little on it when I've got the spare time (and if I remember). Anyway, I loved the movie. Nice battle scenes, some sad moments... and yeah eye candy in Tony Leung & Takeshi Kaneshiro.
Mhmmm I wonder what's up with this weekend. Am gonna have another marathon probably (if plans don't screw up) but that is assuming I can obtain new stuff to watch. Also gotta keep my fingers crossed that my marathon buddy can get his hands on some films too.
Arrgghh there's this one that I wanna watch. It's an animated movie about a world where the teenagers never grow up and how they struggle with certain issues. Was out in the cinemas a couple of mths back but I missed it. Can't remember the title. Googling random keywords didn't turn out anything either. *sigh* Anyone knows?
