… and all things nice. Indeed.
Watched 2 French Films in two consecutive days. Undaunted by the first one which we didn’t enjoy, I went to two more on my own as the husband decided he has better things to do. Last night was Love Is In The Air, a hilarious romantic comedy about a French [...]
‘ So you gonna blog about it? ‘ asked the husband.
I missed my German class this morning by choice. The husband woke up with high fever and bad flu which he had since last night. So I thought I’d just give the class a miss and stay home with him. After all, today is mock [...]
The year started with the German Film Festival and sometime later, the Iranian Film Festival.
This week will see the coming of French Film Festival and my diary has been carefully marked. Back in my hometown I used to have to travel from the east side of the island to the central to Alliance Francaise to [...]
I really, really shouldn’t be blogging now because I have an editing deadline to meet by 4pm later. But my mind cannot focus on work and the harder I try, the harder it becomes.
We went to watch The Kite Runner just now. The book, which the film is based upon has been sitting quietly in [...]
The theatre was half filled, much to my surprise. I was alone. The husband was somewhere in the cafe outside trying to finish his readings so he could do his term paper. Armed with caramel popcorn and ice-milo, I was ready for another Iranian film. My 3rd for this year’s festival.
Of all Iranian films I’ve [...]
Last night I watched another Iranian Film, Mama’s Guests. A comedy, quite simply made but with a message so deep I almost teared. Almost, as I was also tearing from laughing so hard.
Pictures taken from here.
I remember this quote from the film.
” Be careful with the rice. Take care of the rice. When you take [...]
The first Iranian film I watched was Children of Heaven, back in the year 2000. It was about two siblings, who shared a pair of shoes. The brother would wear the shoes to school in the morning as he’s in the morning session, ran back home immediately after class so that his sister can wear [...]
…. has everything in it, all ingredients nicely consolidated into a rich and yummy energy fix. A bar of it always satiate my appetite for chocolate as it is, to put it simply– just nice.
That was how I felt just now after watching Dr Seuss’ HORTON HEARS A WHO.
I did Dr Seuss for my [...]
There are things that baffle me to this very day.
1. If one stands by the rights of freedom of speech, and the speech happens to negatively affect another person or a group of people and they retaliate, why does one get angry at their retaliation? Isn’t retaliation a form of speech too? Hence they [...]
It’s Wednesday night and once again it’s time for German Film Festival at University Malaya.
This time it’s a comedy : Kebab Connection, about a young Turkish boy in Hamburg who idolises Bruce Lee and wants to be the first Kung-Fu Film maker in Germany. He did come to a certain success, making Kebab King commercial [...]
