I'm currently at my grandmother's house, counting down the hours before we break our fast. So, the first day of Ramadhan has arrived and Hari Raya is in a months time. Today I sense excitement. Later in the evening, the cousins, the uncles and the aunties will be dropping by grandma's to break fast and there will be alot of food. Yeah-ness.
Weekends was a total slack for me. Basically I was cooped up at home, doing nothing productive at all. At first thought of joining Fifi and Yaya for a swim at Jurong East Swimming Complex but then decided not to. Since school has yet opened, I shall find some interesting thing to do at home. What better way to have my own DVD marathon. :)
First up was You,Me and Dupree. Borrowed this at Aunty Laila's place the other day.
Nothing interesting, really. I guess I've wasted a couple of hours watching it. Supposedly a comedy right? But I do not find it funny at all. Overall, 4/10.
Next was The Other Boleyn Girl. Had this is my laptop so it was 2 hours of lazing on my bed watching this.
Ok, this is what I call a must-watch. Interesting plot and very good actor/actresses. This movie sets me thinking. What would it be like to have a blood sister? Wouldn't be great? Oh yes, it will.Someone who you can be jealous of, someone whom you can backstab and ask her to forgive you the next minute and someone who loves you like you mean everything to her. Like seriously, if in reality, are you willing to give up your other half just becuase your sister likes him too? Oh well, Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson play the character of Ann and Mary so well. Overall, 8/10. :) Btw, Scarlett looks so fugly in the movie with minimal makeup. Lol.
For Sunday, I watched this. Salaam Namaste starring Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta.
Yet again, nothing interesting. This is because there was no English subtitles throughout the movie. Or was it I was dumb not to adjust the DVD functions? I don't know. All I know is that 3 hours was spent trying to figure out what they were saying. It's like waching Charlie Chaplin whereby you just follow the show without being able to comprehend what they are saying. Or is it because my Hindi was bad? Hmm..whatever, 6/10 for its predictable storyline.
Last but not least, Fanna.
Another must watch. I love this movie. 8.5/10, enough said. All the songs are preety nice to hear too. I guess this Blockbuster Of The Year 2006 is really something huh. Another great Hindi movie, apart from Khabi Khushi Khabi Gham.
This is the song from Fanna that I totally enjoy. :) The lyrics, if translated to English, are very touching (as seen in the DVD) But as this video is from youtube and w/o the english subtitles, I am just as blurr and lost as you are. Cheers people.
