the last friday...

... of the year and there still seems a lot more to do. I actually got to go out to a couple of movies this week... and I may just take myself out for another today. It's actually one of the few times of the year that I have the luxury of time to do this. The last time I actually went out for a movie was sometime last year. Even though the "home theater" is fast becoming the norm, the communal experience in a darkened theater is still quite special. Of course there are still movies being made that really should be seen in all their glory on the big screen. There is also nothing quite like the magic of these flickering images being projected onto a screen. Oh, and the movies that I caught were Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as well as Memoirs of a Geisha featuring 3 of my favorite Asian actresses.

For those of you who dropped by to check out the HNT yesterday... Thanks for stopping by. I'm looking forward to seeing what the New Year brings... though I do have a few ideas. ::sneaky snigger ::

I actually got to Skype with my friend Kien in London yesterday. If you haven't tried out Skype... you should. For one... it's free... and the sound quality is really quite good. There is also a beta version that allows you to video chat in real time. Good stuff!

more later...

So how was Memoirs? Think I'd like to read it first.

trojan - for the most part I liked it though I wanted the ending to be a little more poetic.

I do like Rob Marshall as a director though."Chicago" was a great flick with a sultry jazzy feel.It will be interesting to see what he does with Memoirs...

I agree. I thought in Chicago he managed to pay (deserved) homage to Fosse yet still putting his own stamp on it.

I want to see "Memoirs" in the theater soon. I haven't been to the movies in months but I do enjoy going. :)

I recently read Memoirs and thought it quite interesting. I would recommend it highly if you enjoy reading about asian culture.
