Season Greetings... I love the winter season... no allergy worries... people full of the holiday spirit everywhere... shopping/gift giving/recieving... mmm just might be my favorite season... (FOR just a movie review, jump down to the third paragraph) Anyway, SCHOOL'S OUT!!! WOoooo last day of school was today, err yesterday, and just the thought of a nice long winter break brings a smile to my face. This quarter kinda went a little fast for me. I think it's cuz I haven't been doing much and just sitting around as the days go by =/ Well, I hope to pack this season with lots of fun. I may be going on a trip but I dunno the details. I'm looking forward to hanging out with lotsa peeps as that has been very minimal for me lately. Man, I'm kinda not looking forward to next quarter b/c I'll have to get used to a completely new schedule, have more work to do, and get used to new professors. I was just getting used to my Chem prof's voice, he's got a thick czech accent and the other guy's got a heavy african accent, and I liked them both very much. I couldn't really stand my math prof's talking, but I think I'm going to miss how "elementary in his teaching ways" were... =X I also began to get used to my phil prof too. Most of the times she lectures somewhat boringly b/c the topics are boring, but occasionally she'll have good lectures and she's actually fun to listen to. Ask me about the specific profs later if you're wondering who they actually are. I am looking forward to meeting more people however. A whole new quarter is likely to be a whole new group of faces, for the most part at least. I will probably see some familiar people in chem... albeit there are probably like 1500+ students taking it.
Ugh, not looking forward to finals at all. At least they're all on diff days. Phil on friday, Math on saturday (this is whacked, who does math on saturday??), and finally Chem on monday. I've gotten into a very very lazy state as of late and that's not good at all for studying. I find myself slipping into games of Gunbound and randomly entranced in music while sitting around. I need to crack the books tomorrow....
I have one movie review... Good times, Bed Times; a HK flick, yet again another romantic comedy except this time there's an interesting add-on. These people actually wanna have SEX! I'm sure all of you have heard of those movies out there where the couples are all giddy and happy, I like those movies a lot, but after you've seen 5 of em, they kinda start to turn hackneyed and as if they were being mass produced. Although this movie may seem at first very similar to every other romantic comedy, I assure you that there is quite a bit of interesting stuff that you havent' seen in regular HK cinema. As a frequent viewer, it's safe to say that most of HK cinema is fairly clean and strays far away from anything to promiscuise/raunchy. In this film, it kinda breaks that border, by simply showing that the people actually desire sex and throwing around a couple sex jokes. No tripleX material here boys... The beginning is somewhat interesting, but the middle is where the movie really takes off. You know the characters already so as the story plays out it starts to get more lay back and entertaining. But at the end, it's really weird... Well first of all, there seem to be like 2 plot lines that twist maybe once or twice and then end up at the same place. Neither of them are that great at the end... But that's ok, b/c it's only like 10 min of the whole movie. I would recommend this movie to people who are looking for a different kind of romantic comedy, and like me, have gotten tired of the cookie-cutter types. No, this is not a revolutionary movie that will make you giddy after watching it, but it will entertain you a fair amount. And esp when you can buy the dvd for only $11 canadian, it's a def good deal =) Oh, errmm, one thing I forgot to mention... The DVD I got had really messed up sound that stayed really quiet throughout the movie... so maybe I missed some stuff in the movie... =/ But I don't think it would've changed my view on it too drastically. So until I get a better version I shall rate this movie a 6 / 10 for being a nice change of pace in HK cinema. Louis Kou, Sammi Cheng, and ESP. Charline Choi fans will not be disappointed at all.
'Nuf said, g'nite.
