Monsters University was delightful. Not as heartwarming as Monsters, Inc., or tearjerking as Toy Story 3, but still a fun and spirited romp nonetheless. It's…
When I was in university, I used to work part-time in a cinema. And I *loved* it, like I've never loved any other experience before, or ever since.
Yesterday, I posted a preview of the movies that I was interested in watching in the next three months. Today, I shall mention the ones…

Watched Ilo Ilo on Tuesday to see what the fuss is about. The theatre was packed with other like-minded people too -- because I highly doubt that it would have gotten such a huge reception if it didn't win the Camera d'Or at Cannes. It's a subtle, introspective indie-ish drama: not the loud, brash comedies that typical Singaporean moviegoers look for in local films, judging from top-grossing Singaporean movies like Money Not Enough and Ah Boys to Men.
Re-watched Iron Man 3, this time with subtitles. I love re-watching movies with subtitles -- it just makes them much clearer. Whenever I catch a movie in theatres, I am only able to get about 80 percent of the dialogue, as they tend to mumble or speak too fast. And many times, for the dialogue that I do catch, the nuances of what they actually said don't really register until much later when I've time to think about it (which I don't, since I'll have forgotten it by then), or until I see it staring in my face in subtitles. (Yeah, you can probably tell that I am the worst kind of listener in conversations.)
Haven't updated in a while, though it was not due to a lack of things to talk about. Life happened. As well as a certain…
