i've been watching movies these days.. a 'habit' inculcated from my literature module last sem. haha. i realize that i have a particular liking for movies which are poignant and more silent rather than action packed or horror films.
it's not that i don't like the action packed or horror films..i adore xmen3 and superman2 and spykids and whatnots..it's just that films that are more poignant and focus more on other aspects of the film rather than the action always cause my heart to tingle and my mind to be wrapped in a marshmellow cover after that.
i've just finished watching 'around the bend'.. it's a story about ashes and 4 generation of guys and this grandfather and what he's done in the past and of reunions and quirky things they do to the ashes. it's nice :) go watch it. though i didn't really understand what went on at the start, i started to dissolve into the movie during their trip to new mexico.
another movie i recently watched is 'matchstick men' 'cos the original vcd was on sale for a mere S$3.90. another great film. i like this better than 'around the bend'. hahaha. i like this 'cos there's this guy with 2 psychological disorders and it allows me to see slightly how the person feels. i like it 'cos there was a beautiful, full of life daughter who appeared out of nowhere. i like it 'cos i feel sad for that guy in the end. i like it 'cos of his open display of emotions and his so sincere actions just for his daughter. if you want to watch it, just tell me. lol.
i'm still looking for forrest gump (however you spell it..) so if anyone has the movie, LEND IT TO ME!
