movie mania.

woo just got alot of shows from the twins.

Watched 'Crash' and ' Freedom Writers' yesterday.

Both have an underlying theme of racism, with Freedom Writers being the more direct one.
Freedom Writers is about a new teacher in a high school which just adopted an integrated programme in which students of different races are mixed in the same class. Racial tension is extremely high, and the show basically outlines how this teacher handles the class and nurtures them to live harmoniously. Very very touching show, if you don't tear at least you aren't human.

Crash is also about racism, but it is a much more artistic show in the sense that.. it doesnt really have a main plot,and is just seemingly scenes from different people's life and how they slowly interweave. Each scene is very well directed and hence very .. powerful. Very touching scenes at moments, and very shocking scenes too. That little girl scene was extremely :o zomg.

Both excellent shows, i highly recommend them.

Now im watching 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Beginning'.. basically about how this chainsaw-wielding psychopath and his family of cannibals came to existence. Super super super intense and is one of the best horror movies i've watched(in terms of horror-factor). Not for the weak-stomached :S
Can't finish it now, mom's eating behind me, so i think ill just go eat first and finish it later. Later she ask why im watching this kinda nonsense. haha.


Shows that im going to watch:
A History of Violence
Date Movie
Dirty Deeds
Final Destination 3
Fun With Dick and Jane*
Hollow Man 2
Jump in!*
Napoleon Dynamite*
Southpark the Movie
The Devil wears Prada
Hannibal Rising

will do a short review on each once im done. :)
Those movies with asterisk(*) were requested by chris (i borrowed her hard disk so that twins can load on to it), not i want one. Weird shows i hope they're good. haha.
