went to catch slumdog millionare and new in town yesterday. (serious movie marathon, both movies in the exact same cinema hall, in the exact same seats hahah). really enjoyed slumdog! was worried that it would fail to hit expectations because of all the hype about it but it was really quite enjoyable.

i think what makes an enjoyable movie for me is 1. gorgeous visuals (some of the scenes were so beautiful! especially loved the mass sari washing scene), 2. good (or at least plausible) acting and casting, 3. a plot where you don't know what is going to happen next (not so much original, but at the very least not predictable). oh standout soundtrack is a very big plus point! i think slumdog managed to hit all four :) so i would say, please watch it! and little jamal is too adorable (see above picture)

new in town on the other hand wasn't painful to watch but failed to hit all four and just left me feeling blah. i literally knew what was going to happen next, sometimes even the lines that were going to be said. and the leads werent bad but definitely weren't fantastic in any way. visuals? hmm there was alot of snow. haha and i dont remember a single song from the movie. but nonetheless, it's a decent rom-com to watch, especially given the standard of rom-coms these days.

i really really want to watch let the right one in and suspect x! but what i really should be watching is my webcasts zzzzzzzz.

speaking of which, i've come to totally love my timetable. ever since my math lecturer (really, someone should bestow him the most kind teacher award) made all lectures webcast, i've been having 3 day weeks, something i've never had in my 3 years in uni so WOOHOO!

i shall refrain from blogging about my latest korean obsession (yet another older woman-younger guy couple) for now, just because i don't want to turn this into an area just for my silly obsessions and also because i want to find a better picture (HAHA).

in other news, i might be going to korea for summer!!!! :D hmm shall elaborate when i decide.
