Tobey Maguire

Owwwww...

Owwwww…just suffered a bump on my head while I was trying to lean back to read a book. I can be such a loser.

Anyway, can’t sleep, and don’t really feel like reading either (though I’ve got tons of books that I bought and haven’t read =( ), so I thought I’d blog a bit. Don’t mind the bad grammer ‘cos I’m trying to type my thoughts as quickly as possible. =)

I rewatched Wonder Boys today.I bought the VCD for S$13 bucks from HMV on Friday evening as I’ve been meaning to buy the video for about a year. I was looking for the DVD version but they didn’t have it at HMV. I’ve got a feeling that I have to thank the censorship board for that. =( Anyway, I’m going look out for the DVD version in other shops, if they have it, I’m going to sell my my VCD copy to buy it. Which leads to — naturally — what a great film it is. I had heard all the great reviews of it ages ago. When I watched it on Friday, I didn’t think much of it because I was largely distracted and rather tired. So I wasn’t paying much attention to the dialogue. I decided to give the film a second chance today because I knew I wasn’t paying due attention the first time. Anyways, the dialogue turned out to be funny as hell. I’d say it’s a dark yet subtle comedy. The acting is brilliant: Michael Douglas’s perfect as the sloppy english professor although one might not imagine him to fit the role considering the ‘suave’ characers he’s played in his film career. Tobey Maguire’s just Tobey Maguire (hahahah).

Spidey!

I just watched Spiderman today. Was supposed to be Saturday after my exams but we (family) just couldn’t wait. After all it is Labour Day and since the ‘sneak previews’ are screening from 2PM to 9PM in cinemas island-wide (what an irony), it is a pretty good excuse. Anyway, how did I like the film? I say I love it. It’s a huge bonus that Tobey Maguire is in it (my sis likes Kristen Dunst). Tobey Maguire has been one of my favourite Hollywood actors (others include Jude Law, Ewan McGregor, Jude Law and Natalie Portman) ever since I watched Pleasantville (I think that was the first Maguire film I watched), and was my top choice for the web-slinger role in a film that I’ve been following in its developmental process since the 90s. I’m definitely going to watch it again on cinema after my exams are done.

Speaking of exams, I’ve got one on Friday and I’ve barely begun studying for it.Shit… I don’t have the motivation to either. Maybe I’ll go to Mcdonalds tomorrow to concentrate properly =( arrrrgh…
