21 Grams(Review)

Been doin alot of downloadin this few days...downloaded Goodfellas, Almost Famous, and 21 Grams(staring Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro and Naomi Watts....now i must say that all these movies featured the best actors and actresses of our time....Robert De Niro, Kate Hudson, Sean Penn, and Benicio Del Toro just to name a few....

Okay to be honest the onli reason i downloaded Goodfellas was because it had Robert De Niro in it an the fact that i luv mobster/mafia movies...i think i was 10 or 11 when my dad handed me the best mafia book ever written....Mario Puzo's Godfather....the screen adaptions directed by Francis Ford Coppola were even better.....i think he did a fantastic job of describing and bringing to life Marlon Brando's role as the Godfather...

Anyways back to the movies i recently downloaded...among these 3 movies, onli 21 Grams left me thinking...i wouldnt say its a brilliant film cos i felt the camera direction wasnt that good and the intro was confusing....not to mention the unnecesary nudity and the bad impression it gave of Christians.... its a movie about 3 different strangers who either had near death experiences or lost somebody close....the thing that got my interest in the movie was the fact that at the exact moment someone dies, his/her body loses 21 grams....

Now that really got me pondering....wat exactly is lost at that last moment?....how much can we fit into 21 grams?.....how much is gained?...questions with answers i might never know til i lose my 21 grams...the events of the past weeks haf reminded me that life is short....we onli live once...21 grams....i'd like to think of it as my soul lifted up to heaven....it might weigh 21 grams...i spose i'll find out when the time comes....but not yet....definately not anytime soon..hahaha....anyways all of them are pretty good movies...i'll definately be downloadin more....time to hit the sheets...Zzz

Romans 8:38

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angles nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

-Romans 8:38-

Sunday Horror

i still cant believe it...i just went to sleep at 3am wen i heard someone banging on my window at 5.30 am this mornin calling my name....turned out to be Mevin who stays at the hall opposite me....he was totally freaked out shouting " Come out! Come out!"....i was half asleep in my shorts wen i walked out of my hall...then i remembered Mevin pointing me in the direction of the residential office....to my unbelievable horror i saw a body lying face down on the ground!...it was dark then but from the street light it was pretty damn obvious he was dead....i just knew it...the poor guy was just in his shorts!....the cops had just arrived an they were starting to put the "DO NOT CROSS" tapes around the body....its like a crazy horror movie coming to life....in fact, the cops are still outside examining the body....all the campus exits are blocked an we hafto give our details to the police....its just so unreal...i want to experience UK life to the fullest but not this way.....its just insane....i cant believe it happened on a sunday...im living in ghetto man....God haf mercy on us....i need anoder drink

Melancholy And The Infinite Sadness

Its 2.25 am sunday mornin.....cant sleep yet....had a Hoegaarden earlier so im just chillin in my room watchin Beyond's last concert...i was just diggin thru my cd collection an i found the vcd for their 20th aniversary concert which was their last ever gig(supposedly).....for those who dont know, Beyond was and still is the biggest Hong Kong rock band ever...the band was formed the same year i was born....anthems and songs about friendship, being strong and personal experinces intertwined with electric guitar riffs haf made Beyond famous beyond its borders stretching all throughout south east asia an into China ....theyve made a huge impact on my music and life in highschool

I never actually watched the whole vcd but after doin so i feel so melancholic now....it was touching so see how down to earth they were wen talking to their fans....being their last concert, it was so much more stiring.....it reminded me of my old band days in high school.....i remember having gigs at Interect and Leo club events like International Understanding Nites....i remember the biggest crowd we played in front of was 1200 ppl....it might not seem like a large crowd now, but back then it was awesome!...i can still remember the crowd response wen we played Till I Hear It From You....it was crazy!....theres no better reward than getting a loud cheer from the crowd....i remember how i just wanted to play music an nothing else...i spent half my life at the jamming studio in SS2 practicing fer gigs an watching fellow bands create music....its was bliss back then.....we just wanted to make music forever....play gigs, make albums, and just do wat we were passionate about...nothing else mattered

But then after 2 years, the band grew older and we just drifted apart pursuing different interests....i guess one of the reasons we didnt pursue music anymore was because the music industry was bad....there wasnt enough support and it was difficult to get a label....so we just decided to move on.....i was hit really bad by the separation of the band but wat could i do?....we just needed to move on....so much for a passion and a vision that would never be reality.....so here i am 5 years later writing bout my old band.....i miss those guys....havent spoken to them in ages...hope theyre doin olrite....

Sometimes life can really hit u in the chest....things and people that you used to cherish arent there anymore....friends u used to be so close to are so distant now.....i really regret that i didnt hold them closer....more than often we just keep taking for granted our friends an the ppl that mean so much to us.....why is it we onli realise things after its too late?....i think i just need to sleep it off.....sigh
