Movie Marathon

I watched 3 movies today. Oh no, 2. Another one was last night.

I finally watched, the all girls go hooha about movie Twilight. I was convinced by Tan Ya Hui aka chaborkia to watch it. It was a good movie, because, there was a cute looking hunk and a cute looking babe in it. It also had an interesting storyline, it triggered questions in my mind. Wouldn't vampires die in sunlight? I've always thought they can't take sunlight at all. Since when they're able to stand in the sun and their skin crystalizes? Do they not turn into bats? Are they enemies with the wolves? They have strength and speed? Very super-hero-ish. I thought if you get bitten you'd immediately become a vampire? You can choose not to make someone a vampire apparently. Regardless, I look forward to the sequel New Moon. Maybe I'd get the book. *stares at my already very big pile of books*. *gulps*. Maybe not. I have to start reading. *falls asleep instead*.

The other movie I watched was Coraline. It's Brit-ish animated. It was creative and I'd say a worth watching one. Aunty Beef told me to watch it. I've seen the posters all over and wasn't curious about what it was because it didn't seem cute or anything but since she mentioned it, I thought I'd gave it a try. It was about a little girl who moved into a big house that has a tiny door into the same house with everything she wanted but everyone there had button eyes and she had to get her eyes removed and replaced with buttons if she wanted to stay there. I hope I don't get nightmares tonight. The characters were not the most cute funny and amusing ones I must say. I struggled through the movie continuously having to pause and continue.

I don't like dolls. I remember when I was a little girl I'd get nightmares of the Child's Play photograph on the Dvd covers. It wasn't my intention to look at em. They were always there. It was something famous when I was growing up. I hated it. I still get chills down my spine. It's an image I cannot erase. I was afraid of clowns as well. Call me coward. I don't mind. Someone gave me a triangel doll and I've always felt like throwing it away because it looks scary but instead I stuffed it somewhere in my cupboard so that I don't remember that it's there. But it's somewhere alright. I only had 2 dolls in my life, one was a really cute one that I begged for and another was a free barbie from my neighbour. That was before Child's Play existed in my life. Movies that spoil little girls pretty happy images of dolls.

The third movie I watched was finally Slumdog Millionaire. I know it took me almost forever. It's been in my laptop for months and I've actually watched 30 minutes of it and never went back to it. I finally did. It was good. Good to help us realise how lucky we are that we're not in the slums of India, lucky that we do not have to steal, rob, cheat and kill to survive, lucky to not have to blinded to earn more... It's something like the Kite Runner. Watching and understanding the lives of others in countries as such. I am thankful.

I've got no more movies to watch. I'm moving on to series that my boyfriend recommended now. hee hee. Dirty Sexy Money and The Shield. zzZZzZZz first.
