did everyone have a good long weekend?

i know i did =D
everything was perfect except finding out that tennis wasn't on. <.<
i still want my sleep back!

anywai so we had like the best dinners which I MADE on saturday and sunday.
saturday was STEAK and stuffed potatoes...yummmm
sundai was pasta with PUMPKIN SOUP =D
yumyumyumm

awesum stuff.
i also rented SEVEN POUNDS and THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON
whoever's reading this, if anyone, you HAVE to watch seven pounds.
its such an AWESUM movie.



it relli makes you appreciate life a bit more and argh its so good.
so basically the story is...hmm...
will smith's character is trying to rid himself of his guilty conscience so he decides to do something that will change the lives of seven strangers forever.
there's no other way i can describe it without giving away the plot so yeh..
anywai go watch it because its relli relli awesum.
its quite predictable but will smith is a great actor and the story of this is awesum.
btw did i mention its from the director of PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS which makes it automagically awesum.

the curious case of benjamin button however, was a bit of a let down.



the concept is very interesting, based on a short story that was written ages ago, where a man is born with the physical features of an 80yr old man, although here it was a baby with wrinkled skin, arthritis and all these other old people handicaps. it was a bit very long (2hrs and 40mins) and you kinda get bored in the middle. i kept looking at the dvd player just to see how much more time was left. seriously i mean they drag it on sooooo much its not funni.
they also used the idea of narration through a diary or an old person recounting her story. thats just a bit overused don't you think? ==
although there are some very funni bits like when the old man repeatedly tells him
"did i ever tell you i got struck by lightning seven times?"
followed by him saying what he was doing when he got struck then a brief footage in black and white and its soooo hilarious.

btw i watched NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2 like the sunday after camp and that was also a bit of a let down.



you can still watch it but you probably might be thinking..."this isn't comedy?"
because while some parts are quite funni, most of the potentially funni parts are so overused. like they just keep dragging it on and its like "dude. its not funny after you say the same thing like 10 times."
and they also have repeated gags from the first movie like when they show the miniature ppl do something so epic and they zoom out and its like nothings happening.

so basically
you HAVE to watch seven pounds
you SHOULD watch the curious case of benjamin button, but you don't have to if you don't want to
and you CAN watch night at the museum 2 but do yourself a favour and don't waste too much money on it

anywai i have to go do english now.
stupid poetry analysis.
