gravity and about time

caught 2 movies recently.
Gravity with the husband n boys during the week.
It was superd.
The director did a wonderful job portraying space as it should be.
Insanely beautiful and scary.
Dead silence,  absolutely nothing to anchor on and to me, scariest of all,  far flung from all the things that matter to you.
the success of the show lies not only from the spectacular visuals but also from the very humane plot.

It is almost a given that surely bullock will be nominated for best actress in the upcoming Oscars.
though there were already many movies out there showcasing how human spirit triumph in extreme conditions, she still did an extremely well job in portraying the character's emotional journey.
The script is really well written.  Such a wide repertoire of emotions the female lead has to go through and totally reasonable given the circumstances.

Hope can be a luxury in dire situation but hope may be exactly the thing to get you through.

Overall,  the tight 90 mins show is one of the best film I've seen this year.
The elder son enjoyed it while the younger boy fell asleep for a good hour during the show leaving us to enjoy it better.  Hehe.

Caught about time with zm n candice on sat.
I've rather high expectations for the show and felt that it did not really live up to its 7.8 score in imdb.
Having said so,  it is still a decent show.  Both friends found it good since they did not have much expectations before watching.
Funny and heartwarming.
But i personally prefer love actually, given both shows are penned and directed by the same person.

The message of the film is simple and known to most but hard to practice: enjoy and be thankful of each day with your loved ones.

Sidenote: wanted to watch prisoners & rush but they were gone before I can squeeze the time.
So sad. ...
