Musings of an Idiot

Holiday

The last day of the long weekend. Watched a few more movies - Seabiscuit (with english subtitles...grrrrrrrrrr....) ; Owning Mahowny ; Broken Wings - a fair few I suppose.

I had avoided seeing 'Sea Biscuit' for so long because when the trailer came out at the cinemas, I though 'this looks like another big budgeted hollywood crap' and religiously made sure that I did not accidentally see the movie at cinemas or on DVD. But since my flatmates were watching the movie and I did not want to retire to my bedroom - I sat and watched the movie. It was good - way better than I expected. The lighting in the movie is just fantastic and so is the cinematography. The editing was seamless - except for some of the racing sequences where the cuts just seemed a bit off. But still a good movie for a holiday.

'Owning Mahowny' was slow paced and it was boring in parts - add to it the story was predictable and I think thats what killed my interest in the movie. The evening was rounded off by 'Broken Wings', an israeli movie which won a fair few awards. It is a small and personal movie - heart wrenching and very emotional. The actors were really fantastic and the cinematography was again top notch. It is gently paced and it takes less than 2 minutes to enter that world and stay there.

The 'Nowhere to Love' website has undergone another revision. Benji painstakingly revised the website to remove my rustic design and breath some elegance into it. And I like the revised version a lot. What do you think?

The long weekend has been rounded off by a good 2 hours of badminton a couple of hours back and it was a good game - somehow my anger got translated into improvement in my game. Lance had rung up Thames-Coromandel Council again to see if there would be any difference in attitudes but no result. So definitely going to check out some more locations soon.

Anyway off to bed.
Ciao,
