The Case of Disappearing Weekends..

I dunno but the weekends seem to evaporate a lot faster in year 5 , than it did in the previous years.

1.Little Miss Sunshine

caught this film at the newly-opened yet highly over-rated Vivocity stadium cineplex.
this is one indie film that had earned for itself rave reviews from both critics and the audience alike, earning like 93% on the rotten tomatoes' tomatometer. and if you guys noe what kind of bitches they have at rotten tomatoes, you noe it ain't easy to get a rating that high.

The Hoover family is one endearing lot, though highly dysfunctional. and i am sure you know familes like that out there, so it was indeed very real. especially seeing angst-ridden teens like Dwayne - sequestering himself in the room with his lofty ideals and all, very VERY much like a lot of the teenage boys out there in singapore; interesting to see that his nervous breakdown sort of resembled Bjork's in Bangkok http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n-f0wyhMvI. Olive is sooooo loveable as a 7-year old girl; she's really the uniting force in the family and her innocence really steals the show. toni collete (of Connie and Carla(not white chicks for heavens' sake!)plays a resilient, probably long-suffering mum. Now pack in an entire family of misfits into a creaky old mini-van and the roadtrip non-stop to California becomes really fun. Touching to know that in spite of all that dysfunctionality and ooky personality-traits, the family still bunches up as a family at the very end, which is a veryyyyy reassuring message to the dysfunctional ones amongst us :P
