It's been a rather busy week, was up and about everyday shopping, eating, exercising, watching movies... Speaking of which, I watched 3 films this week. Quite a record given that the last movie I watched before the latest Harry Potter was about 2 years ago. I've almost forgotten what it's like to be in a cinema. Oh how i miss the sweet and salty popcorn. Anyway, "Up" is a really nice film, and considering that I'm not a fan of animation, this is saying quite a bit. I really like the graphics, music and characters, esp the lil' boy Russell.
"Coco Before Chanel" was mediocre at best. A real disappointment because Audrey Tautou's works are usually quite entertaining and memorable. This one just has poor execution, poor direction, poor characterization and plenty of banal and pretentious expressions. I really dislike cliched artistic scenes where the actor poses stylishly with a cigarette or stares blankly into space with a very artistic-looking backdrop. Aesthetics aside, what is the point seriously? Unless there's a purpose to it, I really see no reason in littering the film with such scenes. It's just like an empty canvas placed in a beautiful frame. All hype but no substance. Tautou's best film is still "Amelie" imo. The last film is a 40 min mini-documentary on Van Gogh screened in 3D at the omni-theater. The super wide screen gave me a slight headache but the film was alright. Just didn't really like the way they impersonated Van Gogh and speaking English in that silly french accent. As if they could really read his thoughts.
And now, the reason for the title of this post. After rollerblading with the pets non-stop for 2hrs at ecp this afternoon, currently, my legs are aching, my feet feel like sore jelly and i've got 2 blisters on my toes. But I had a fun time and am quite impressed with myself. The last time I bladed was in sec sch and I initially thought I would end up waddling like a duck the whole afternoon but it wasn't that bad at all :)
See the huge blister? Pricked and took care of it just like always. I think i'm quite good at handling blisters.
