A short movie to entertain you guys while taking a break from the numbers and memory work.


Part 1



Part 2


The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, directed by David Fincher (Se7en, Fight Club, Zodiac) who previously had worked with Brad Pitt in the previous movies. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is somewhat similar to Forrest Gump only that the protagonist ages backwards. Aging backwards somehow makes the story more sad, seeing the ones you love grow naturally. I won't write much spoilers, you must watch this show if you liked Forrest Gump. Apparently both movies share the same screenplay writer in Eric Roth, explaining the similarity in style.

Nevertheless, great chemistry shown between Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. They have previously worked together and had great chemistry in Babel, so it is not surprising that they put on a good show. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is about the struggles of life, from his father to his adopted mother to his love, his daughter and things that went on in his curious life. *spoiler ahead* Most moving part of the movie was when he left, *im trying to be discrete here* and he sent back postcards saying how he wished he was there on for his daughter. And the most funny part would be the occasional, " Have i told you before that i was struck by lightning 7 times?".

Deserved its 13 Oscar Nominations? Yes. Winning them? Maybe. Slumdog Millionaire, Milk, Frost/Nixon aren't pushovers and i felt that they are have more originality over The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Still for that $6 (that is if you're still a student), this 2.5hr show is definitely worth your money. Just remember to watch it at a cinema with comfy seats and legroom, GV Yishun is definitely not one of them.

ahh its the end of BK, and friday had to end like that. to answer san and selfie, friday was like any other normal movie watching day.

projects sucks, gotten A , B and C for diff modules. bloody C, damn. watched 4 movies this week. on wednesday watched Red Cliff 2 at cine and spotted some BJ people there, afterwhich continued with another show, Eden Lake when CH came over to join in. both shows were nice. luckily managed to catch Eden Lake as it was the 2nd last time slot before the movie closes. i did not promise to watch with the class, so technically i did not pung seh the class, lol. i said i was going home to change and depends on which movie you guys watching then i will decide whether to join or not. you guys should know that i don't watch crap shows. haha.

ok on friday was a pung seh act, i must admit. haha. it is due to situations that are unavoidable. watched Underworld: Rise of the Lycans with a group of underaged, followed by The Curious Case of Benjamin Button . Both shows were nice.

and its that time of the academic calendar again. pull on your nylon stockings dudes, time to mug.
