weepy movie

Do they have to make such sad sad chick flicks in Hollywood? I thought the whole point of the chick flicks were their happy endings! [sigh]
don't bother watching this movie unless you're looking for a reason to cry!!!

Water

not necessarily a masterpeice, but Water was a good movie to watch to get into the festival mood I think!

It is about the lives of widows in India and how they're supposed to half-die with their husbands. I was shocked to see how women were treated, but then injustice and misery have no limit and for women it has been observed over and over again. Watch it when you get a chance.

I'm excited to see "Heaven on Earth", the new movie from the same director in VIFF.

introducing CBC radio 2

I have recently started listening to them. so far their Jazz channel sounds ok to me. you can't skip any songs which sucks. but at least it's commercial-free. definitely not as good as last.fm but still a good online radio.

a movie about idiocy

I watched "Burn after reading" and absolutely loved it! Ok, so it wasn't like "No country for old men"... but so what?! It was funny and smart, and so hilariously pointless!

Everything that happened in this movie could have just as easily not happened, if people in the movie were actually capable of logical thinking. But since they're all perfect idiots, you end up with a movie that makes you laugh all along. So, if you like movies that have really well thought plots and are full of logic and facts, don't watch this movie!

as a conversation in the movie goes:

" - so what did we learn from this?
-Um... I don't know. "

Who would have thought

...when we first started school some ten years ago, that we'd be here now? Who would have thought that those innocent, inexperienced and sometimes weird kids would end up being us? some of us never even became close friends until after graduation... but there was the intertwined web of human relationships that connected us all in unexpected ways. Over the years, people I knew in separate worlds ended up being best friends, partners, husbands and wives. Friends collided and overlapped with family. Some got distant and some got inseparable. Some got into rough patches, some glided on smoothly on their way. some found happiness in their own special way, some are still searching. I've seen my friends grow up and through them, I watched myself grow older. But I'm sure of one thing: they may not be innocent or inexperienced anymore, but most of them are still the same weird kids inside. I know I am.
