so, my three or so weeks of break have been pretty chill.
reading and watching movies, gosh yes i've watched like loads of rubbish because i was so tired of it all that i wanted pure mindless brainless entertainment.
so let's see, i've gone through:
Flipped (2010)- cute, something fresh and worth a watch.
Jumanji (1995)- uh yes. relieving abit of childhood. i still remember when i first watched this one, i was i have no idea how young and ended up going to bed scared. my daddy still remembers that too.
Passengers (2008)- turned out Very disappointing. What Is with all these ghosts-not-knowing-they're-already-dead films?? dislike. still, hathaway and patrick wilson made it alot less painful.
Evening (2007)- this one was beautiful. gosh, why doesnt claire danes get more leads?
The Savages (2007)- this was good too.
The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)- all right i guess. pretty interesting in some ways, but in others, quite a typical fantasy film.
My Sister's Keeper (2009)- no, not very worth watching. one of those films that just wants you to cry, and cry, but somewhat doesnt really succeed? typical jodi picoult novel style of being way too, well, i call it whiney.
Marley & Me (2008)- omg this was So Cute. okay, or maybe its because i heart doggies, but still, it was good.
Mama Mia (2008)- yea, brainless entertainment.
500 Days of Summer (2009)- wasnt so bad.
Das Weisse Band (2009)- awesome. dark, but good. really good.
Bride Wars (2009)- not that much worth watching even if it Does star hathaway.
Charlie St Cloud (2010)- Dont Judge. i said i wanted brainless entertainment. this one was well. okay not So bad. i liked the setting.
In Her Shoes (2005)- not bad for a 'chick flick' thinggy.
Life As We Know it (2010)- not bad. the kid is mad cute!
27 Dresses (2008)- this was actually pretty nice.
Raising Helen (2004)- passable.
The Family Stone (2005)- passable. yay for Danes.
The Parent Trap (1998)- okay, like i said, dont judge. but i actually thought lohan did a not-bad job on this one. she was better when she was still small and cute.
Uptown Girls (2003)- um. Fanning was good. that's about all that was good.
Wild Child (2008)- i liked this one! english boarding school ala enid blyton and brit accents yay.
Yours Mine and Ours (2005)- passable enough for a mindless laugh.
Orphan (2009)- yeaaaa okayyy so-so. i think farmiga is way too underrated an actress. she did an awesome job in Joshua too.
yea well, that makes it like 23 movies in 3 or less weeks?? quite alot.
and i've got three more still sitting in my hard disk waiting to be finished- Crash (2004) (I REALLY must watch this one already), Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) and Never Let Me Go (2010) (both of which are mainly just because they're UK and not US.)
read too of course- loving unendliche geschichte So much, it's really good and very worth reading in whatever language. i'm not sure about how well it was translated, but i've been reading it in original Deutsch and it's just, lovely.
page 220 already and (uh spoilers??) bastian has just saved the kindliche kaiserin's life and renamed her.
quite an accomplishment for myself i must say :) i got through it thus far!
and these couple of weeks i've been attending rehearsals as well, and tomorrow on, the busy weekend will begin!
FOP2011 here we commeeeee! #excited!

it will finally be back to nus! again, i'm kind of looking forward to the new sem :)

(and hopefully doing my masters in Deutschland) HEH.
