movie review: bad habits

synopsis:
One family has a whole set of diverse eating disorders--their faith, love and vanity are put to the test at the dinner table. Matilde is a nun convinced that faith can turn wine into water. Secretly, she begins fasting to prevent what she considers to be the second great flood. Elena is a thin, stylish woman ashamed of her daughter's weight. She is willing to do anything to make her daughter thin so she will look like a princess at her first communion. At the same time, Elenaâ's architect husband Gustavo cannot cope any more with his wife's gaunt figure during intimate moments. For an escape, he finds himself in the arms of a buxom female student.

my say:
the film starts off with a moody, eerie shot of what seems like a child dressed as a nun running towards a door, accompanied by loud thuds of footsteps resounding in water.
a horror movie? not quite so. this movie's really very thought provoking. it's very suitable for those who are in constant dieting, take things for granted and over demanding.
the acting of the actors were also brilliant.

movie review: the dark knight

synopsis:
With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as the Joker, who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces the Dark Knight ever closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante


my say:
i'm not a fan of super heroes action movies, but this one for sure i can say, i
really enjoyed it very very much. this movie's not about pure actions and
fantasy, in fact, there's not too much of it. it's more of the storyline that captures
me. although the heath ledger played the supporting actor role as joker,
i felt that he outshine christian bale by a measure. the story's always in a climax such
that you don't feel bored at all, and if u ever rush to the toilet in the middle of the show,
you're going to lose out on a lot. highly recommended!

standard chartered marathon, here i come!

finally under peer pressure, i signed up for the singapore standchart marathon,
together with 20 other AZ colleagues.
of course i didn't sign up for the full marathon, only 10km, but it's really
a big giant step for me already. for those friends who know me well,
i really HATE running. really cannot find pleasure or joy in it at all.
but it's a good thing i supposed, coz i really want that washboard abs
which i heard running helps a lot in building that... better start training
for it. hope i dun collapse on the 7th Dec.
