Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - pickady boo. : life has been so $$$-ful as of late. i.e., it seems i have this insatiable urge to buy anything that catches my fancy...

right now, my life consists mainly of sleeping, waking up, eating, exercising and, well, sleeping. and the cycle goes on and on...

and its in times like these you realise how idiotic life can get.

when there's something important going on like studies and what not, you fret over it. you worry over it and spend every single waking and sleeping moment wondering how you can get it done and over with.

and then, you feel afraid and wonder how on earth you are going to overcome it. so, you try and try to do whatever it takes to get the better of it, but then you slack.

finally, when the time comes and its here and now, you spend all of your energy -well, most of it- destroying this thing you tried so hard to defeat, eg. studies.

then its NOW! its OVER. and you realise that you actually NEED something to fret over.

you NEED something to worry over.

and you NEED something to crack your brains over to prevent yourself from dying from boredom.

the ironies of our lives.

ah well. onto more exciting stuff!! from now on, im giving movie reviews for the movies i watched!

ok. i just watched harry potter yesterday! and so, here begins my not-so-long post on it.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
...

The show started with the dream that harry had as according to the book, but sadly, key moments such as that are lacking in this film.

In the novel, one of the defining moments of the Quidditch world was the Quidditch world cup, but sadly, the script writer decided to size the whole scene down and axed out the match. What resulted was a gap in the flow of the story, which will be occur many more times in the film. the character development of viktor krum and fleur delacour was disappointing, no doubt.

other scenes on how they interacted with the threesome (harry, hermione and ron) was almost non-existent. in fact, viktor had a grand total of 2 lines in the entire film. if the director had invested in more of the key scenes, the film would have been longer, but it would have made the film a lot more wholesome.

While the direction of the film captured the darkness of this installment of harry potter, the director was a tad restrained in portraying the darker scenes. i personally feel that the techniques used were rather corny, but they delivered no less.

all in all, i would give the show 7/10.

enjoy..... :]
