the king, babel & more
went watching "the king" with zm on tuesday after work at the cathay. been a long time since i last caught a movie with him. if memory didnt fail me, brokeback seems to be the last film with him. anyway, was pretty amused by what he told me about the movie & jx. he has asked her previously if she was interested in catching the show with him. mixing up with "the last king of scotland", she said she was not interested in watching a black guy. AND to our immense amusement, there IS a black guy at the start & the end of the show. oh well, it was funny to us back then at least.
okie, the king was a weird film. i cant say if its good/bad. all i can say is its not a boring film. it had me & zm at the edge of our seats at least for the 2nd half of the show. i remember reading a review elsewhere saying its a thriller. and i was perplexed that a plot about a guy who went to find his father, only to realise that his dad has no intention of acknowledging him now that he had another family on his own. so the lead (gael garcia bernal!!!)went on to seduce his half-sister & murder his half-brother and so on so forth.
so what can be thrilling about this? but yes! its a thriller cos we were shocked/scared stiff at how the show will end for there is no way to end it! its just too shocking.
lolz. im not sure what im rambling about either. but gael garcia bernal is really the saving grace for this otherwise rather bizarre film. he is really good, albeit him being not too tall.
and im really on a movie rush. managed to convince the husband to catch "babel" with me this saturday. :) gael garcia bernal again! and im thinking of catching "the illusionist" on sunday by myself. anyone wanna join me? there is edward norton, ya know?
did i miss out any more watch-worthy films?
shopping

so, i went to buy myself another pair of shoes from zara yesterday! it was flat, patented white in color & price was slashed by 65%! *wow wee* so it costs me only $30. to be paid using my next mth pay, of cos. :P
