I have like tonnes of work and datelines but here I'm thinking about a film by Pedro Almodovar titled Bad Education and also Richard Linklater's Fast Food Nation and some other films i really want to watch.

I'm losing my focus, losing my so called creativity juices due to my commitment with work & studies le konon. Right now i feel so robotic. Two years back I would watch all the latest films. I would go to cinema and film screenings.

sometimes alone at least once a week just to satisfy my cravings. Would hunt all videostores, pirated or original just to get rare films. But now, i'm so outdated and ashamed to call myself a film ethuthiast.

So pardon me, if i haven't watched the box office film at theatre now. It feels like I've sinned myself. I'd only got to watch an animated film Open Season last tuesday, and you know why i chose to watch it? Because i just want to watch it. WITHOUT paying attention to all the film theories and etc.. like i always do and been trained for the past 4 years. but i can't. i failed. while watching it, i was like.."god the animation is so smooth and the plot is quite ok though its predictable and ashton kutcher voice over suits the character perfectly. how does the animator made boog's fur, the bear look so real, did they use 3dmax and maya or what. adeh. hehe. but overall, i enjoyed the film even tetibe kena migraine mase tgk tu. x bleh gelak besa. potong betul.

And i got to watch thank you for smoking + the banquet pirated dvds. i don't feel like elaborating on these two films, but both are worth watching. like layman cliche comment "its great, i give the film 3 stars"..hehehe..and i'm looking forward to watch the prestige. yeh cakap best. mesti tak sempat catch it at cinema. so i wanna request yeh to buy the dvd and i wanna make him watch it again with me. soon. huhu..

looking forward to join the film marathon with this one muvi buff next year at cineleisure until i feel like puking. can't wait.

happy screening everybody. let it be known, we need to instill the film appreciation as part of our culture. budaya menonton. ever thought about it before?
