As a self-confessed movie buff, I don’t consider myself a frequent visitor to the cinemas. Last year in 2013, I watched a total of 11 films, which is an average of less than one a month. The movies that I had anticipated for didn’t turn out to be very memorable ie. Man of Steel andContinue reading “Movies I watched in 2013”

Ilo Ilo; Singaporean film review
Last week I went to watch Ilo Ilo, a Singaporean film directed by Anthony Chen which won the Camera D’Or award at Cannes Film Festival 2013.

IContinue reading “Ilo Ilo; Singaporean film review”

My thoughts on The Hunger Games
Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and her hunting friend, Gale (Liam Hemsworth) It’s not often that a story can really grip me and grab my attention, but The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins has done just that. It all started out with an unsuspecting movie outing with a few friends to Cineleisure. It was aContinue reading “My thoughts on The Hunger Games”
That old feeling
The Virgin Suicides (1999) is one of those movies that makes you feel all fluffy inside. Ever since I laid my eyes upon it at the age of 13, I have fallen head over heels with the film. The soft colours and haunting soundtrack by AIR makes it all so dreamy. When the sun doesn’tContinue reading “That old feeling”
