the results are out
LOTR: the return of the king came out tops at the Oscars this year. i must say i'm pretty shocked...i did expect them to win something but not everything. i guess since the whole trilogy is finally over the Academy felt that peter jackson should be rewarded for his effort. although i absolutely loved the LOTR trilogy...i kinda felt that the return of the king wasn't exactly the best movie of the year. even on a whole...compared to the first 2 instalments...the return of the king was a bit of a disappointment. oh well...the oscars are over anyway.didn't do much over the weekend...spent most of my time at home catching up on movies. if there's one thing i've learned over the weekend...it would be never to watch butterfly effect. i wasn't expecting much from the movie but i figured i had to see ashton take on a serious role. i must admit that he did pretty ok...not good but decent. the movie just sucked because there was no logical outline. no real beginning and no real ending.
i decided to recover from the whole butterfly effect experience by watching bowling for columbine. i must say that michael moore is a genius. it's actually not a movie but a documentary film that explores the topic of gun violence. unlike other documentaries...michael moore actually got involved in this one...going around and speaking to the public about the events that took place at the columbine high school as well as the shooting of a 6 year old girl by another 6 year old boy in littleton. it's interesting to hear the opinions of the general public in the states on how the whole event affected their lives and their opinions as to why it happened. it's not only touching but it's witty as well so kudos to michael moore.
tomorrow will be an early day. i'm finally going to go get the stupid MyKad thingey done...i've been postponing it for ages. i figured if i'm going to leave for singapore i might as well get it done before i go. i'll probably get a fine or something since my current i.c still depicts me as a 12 year old. need to renew my driving license as well. if it's not one thing it's always another. oh well...that's the price i have to pay for procrastinating. i doubt i'll get any sleep since i have to wake up at 6am so i think i'll go watch 50 first dates....and then if i have time i'll catch gothika as well.
here's a little confession...i'm actually a bit worried about my audition in singapore. haven't been practising...and my fingers are rusty....not to mention one finger in particular that is recovering from a minor dislocation. hrm...maybe i should stay home more often and work on my repetoire. i don't even know what to play....oh well...i guess i'll just have to wing it.
