Tangled is such a pretty movie.

Today's been a really good day.

I can't explain the feeling.

I got my driving license. Really thank God for it, I don't know exactly what happened, it's all a blur right now.

And I also just finished the whole 3 seasons (or books as they call it) of Avatar: the Last Air Bender. It's probably the best cartoon series I've watched. I don't usually like anime, (although my old friends were crazy about all things anime and manga) but I decided to make an exception for this. The funny thing is I started after watching the movie version, which is probably the worst film adaptation of anything ever. It blows my mind how movie makers spend so much money on special effects, yet let neglect the basics of story-telling: plot, character development, etc.

Another thing, I like these shoes:



(in navy though)

On my number 1 to watch in 2011 list:

Never Let Me Go
For the rest of the year there's still Harry Potter, Narnia and The Social Network.
(The rest of the spots on that list are still waiting to be filled)

Memento

Watched it some time last week. In a word, it was excellent. I know that doesn't say much. I wanted to watch it since I saw Inception in the cinema and was recommended this.

The story is told backward front, to mirror the main character's mental condition. He is unable to make short-term memory, and uses tattoos and polaroids to make sense of things, yet his main aim in life is to avenge the death of his wife.

Like Inception it's an ace movie. The ending catches you by surprise (that goes without being said), and repeated watches will allow the viewer glean more from the (rather) tragic tale each time.

But not something to watch if you want to unwind after a long day at work

The Fall

via (The Fall Pictures - Rotten Tomatoes)

After finishing the entire two seasons of Pushing Daisies (loved the premise, the casting, the treatment, hated the ending), I decided to watch The Fall.

Despite getting a 60% in Rotten Tomatoes (I do my research) I found it splendid. The so-called lack of plot development some critics complained of is from the modern fast paced The kind of concept for a story that I would have hoped to have thought of first, although I would definitely have told it another way. The backdrop was breathtakingly gorgeous, mainly taken from historical sites in India. The sequences are fantastical, but after watching Love Me If You Dare (Jeux d'enfants) it doesn't faze me too much.

Since I’m not going to write the review here’s a good one I came across: http://www.scene-stealers.com/print-reviews/young-actress-unlikely-images-propel-remarkable-the-fall/

Truth be told, I was interrupted half-way through, I so I’m not sure if that’d affect the experience for me?

Inception

(via FilmoFilia)

I watched Inception last week, and they were all right. It is a brilliant movie, the best I've seen in a long while.

Amreeka

I watched Amreeka yesterday evening. It was good I guess, but not really the type I'd watch again. Like Bend it Like Beckham, one of those movies I only realise are comedies until after I've finished watching it. Oh wait, that was when I was 12.

to Watch:

Mmmmm. I'd like to watch this. Uh and Little Miss Sunshine too. Heh.

I saw the trailer of Amreeka, and it looks good. But I doubt it's coming here. It's already April 2010! And it does not appear on the Yahoo Movies search here.

Oh MAN. Who's with me?
I just feel like going out and getting some of that. Sitting in a dark, cold room watching pictures move across the screen never felt this good.
