I haven't done this in a while, so I figure out it's a good time to start again. But instead of doing it in three-month chunks, which can be very daunting because there are so many movies to talk about, I'll do it monthly so it'll be more manageable. Besides, release dates change all the time, especially for smaller movies, so doing it monthly will make it more accurate.

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.
