movie marathon

i had a blast this weekend! i found myself alone at home so i decided to make the most of it. i like it when i am alone. it gives me some private time and space to be with myself and do the things i want to do without thinking if somebody will interrupt or what. i really should get my own place asap!

okay so i was alone at home. i decided to give my room a general clean-up. it's been ages since i really took care of my so cluttered room. and whoa! it took me 2 hours to finish it. then i decided to cook! hahaha. i am not a fan of cooking. i know how to cook but i can't be proud of it as only my stomach can tolerate it. hehe. but since i am alone, i had no choice. cook or starve! heheh. so cook it is! fried some chicken ribs (which really tasted good) and baked some mussels. then i watched a movie while eating. o di ba? a really nice setup.

speaking of movies, i watched 3 yesterday! chicago, the matrix revolutions, and before sunset.



i know i've seen chicago on a plane ride. i just don't remember what flight. basta on a flight. i don't know why but back then, i didn't really enjoy the movie. i didn't understood the story. i just watched because i wanted to see velma and roxie dance in unison. and of course fafa richard gere. hehe. so when i saw the whole movie yesterday from start to finish, i sure am glad i watched it again as it was really a good one. the story, the dances, the glitter and glamour that went with it. it's like watching an opera. a side note: zelwegger sure dances way much better than zeta jones.

the matrix revolutions. anything matrix is sacred to me. hehe. i know i know. revolutions sucked! perhaps because we expected too much. the matrix was such a dazzling original story that we matrix fans were expecting the next installments to be better and more profound. sadly, both were misses. yet that was also expected. nothing can beat the original as they always say.

my movie marathon ended with the movie before sunset starring ethan hawke and julie delphy. the story started 9 years later after they met and had a one night affair (from the movie eternal sunshine). and let me tell you this - i have never enjoyed a movie like this. just pure spontaneous conversational dialogue. it feels so real that you can't help but enjoy it. i never for one instant got bored with the dialogue. it was so smart and insightful and there were funny scenes here and there that really made me squeal with laughter. and through and through, i was eagerly awaiting and raring for them to kiss and have wild sex and get my happy ending. i can feel jesse looking for those openings. heheh. the story ended with them in celine's (julie delphy) apartment and jesse (ethan hawke) missing his flight going back home. so the end was a sweet one which leads us to think they could have ended up together or just had another one of those affairs again. i craved for more when i saw the credits. which leads me to see that after everything that i have been through, i'm still a romantic at heart. yes i am a cynic but i'm glad to know that i still have some romantic illusions left that makes me appreciate movies like this. or perhaps i just need my own one night stand and have wild sex with him again after 9 years. hehe.

so ends my movie weekend.
