Sorry for not updating! I have been really, really tired. Must be coming soon. Anyway I watched 2 movies recently...
Tell you more about it later! Gonna go catch Twilight now, see how bad it is :/
EDIT: 08:49pm
So I drove to town today, was a pretty good feeling, since I've either been on people's cars, cabs, buses or trains to town all my life. Watched Twilight, had lunch at Nihon Mura and then back to school for TLE tutorial and SQM project. Also did a bit of SMIT during tutorial. Met Sheryl impromptu style, went to get some stuff and came home for a very filling dinner which I instantly regret now. So abruptly start with my reviews of the movies I just watched recently..:
Apply of My Eye was a good one with adult or rather, high/college school humour in it. The main actress is surprisingly much older than what she portray herself in the movie, and also, I don't like the ending because I always prefer happy endings (oops, spoiler?) I mean, the reality is already so lack of simple, happy endings, I would really wish to see otherwise in movies, fiction, so that people will still have hope, or at least feel happy after the movie. Just my point of view. I know the reason why movies are getting so realistic and based on 'true stories' because there are people who want them, and I have no objections. Many must have watched it, so I don't think I have to ask people to go for it? I don't think it was that touching, though KK cried. Jianhui might have, if Leroy hadn't spoil it as he was watching it the second time lol.
The most adorable movie I have watched the whole year, period. There were so many, so many scenes where I could hear the whole cinema (and myself) 'aww-ing' unconsciously, and I was actually very touched by the dad-and-son bond (oops, spoiler again!?) in the movie. Although the first one is still the better one IMO, the sequel is good too. Love the kids' voice!
And this is what I watched today, Twilight's Breaking Dawn part 1. Seriously, it's taking so long to release each movie that I really forgot about the details of the story. It might also because I was so engrossed I actually took less than 2 days to finish the entire series of 4 books (or was it 5?) Therefore while watching the movie, KK had asked me some questions (he had also read but also forgotten, thanks to our awesome memories) and I couldn't answer right on the spot and both of us spent quite a few times during the movie figuring out parts of it.
Basically, I wouldn't recommend for people who hadn't read it to watch it, because the movie's focus is on the visual effects (have a feeling part 2 might be 3D -.-) and also the crucial parts of the story. Which means you might not get what is happening since you hadn't read the book. For example, they did not show why Bella wanted to keep the baby, or why Jacob cared about Bella so much, and later the baby. All this would be known if you read the book, which describes vividly their thoughts and those missing jigsaw puzzles that would complete the whole picture. Overall, I think it is not too bad, the visuals and sounds and all. I could tell it was a high budget movie, their props are all expensive-looking, branded and also set to be destroyed in a matter of seconds lol. Also, more blood and expression from the main duo.
I have SQM presentation tomorrow, and aiming to print SMIT project tomorrow, so I got to go!
