New School Term

Well in a couple of days its back to NIE again! Though this sem's timetable is a little sucky for me, i do hope that i can shift some of e classes so that i can have a 3 day week.. haha.. at least i do not have 8.30 classes.. which i abhor given that i stay on the other end of our "small" island.

Anyway to all out there: all the best for the new semester! and those who are not going back to school - all the best in whatever you are doing for the next few months! Last but not least to my Dear: love ya lots and lets gambatte for this semester! mooooooooooooooooo

Best movie of the year!

"It's simple: kill the Batman."
yep to me the best movie of the year so far. its been a long time since i watched a movie twice, and "The Dark Knight" is the one. Brilliant acting, great script, nice score, exciting action scenes, this movie has it all. I felt that i enjoyed the movie more on the 2nd viewing, as i was able to pay more attention to the various details that i missed on the first viewing.

Ledger was great as the Joker, a perfomance both terrifying and memorable in all the right ways. I like the way he sometimes shows the Joker's insanity when he talks, for his voice will change to one that sounds well.. demon-like at times. Its a pity that we wont get to see him play this role anymore, but that means that this portrayal will always be remembered, and other movie villians in the future will be compared to Ledger's Joker. Gibson will have a field day if he uses this role in his film studies class!

Though some people may find the movie too dark, i love it that way, since Batman has always been a dark comic that was mature and serious tones throughout. Did not like the old Batman movies with Clooney and Kilmer for they were just too bright and colourful! This is the way Batman should be - dark, serious, dry humour and of course, great and entire believable acting, so kudos to the entire cast again!

In short, go watch the movie if you havent! Its 2 over hours long, so please visit the loo before entering, and prepare for an INTENSE movie that keeps you captivated all the way!

5/5 Stars
