movie screening at home

during the long hari raya haji weekend, hubby and I watched movies every night. eversince we had our baby, we seldom had time to go to the movies, hence whenever we have time, we'll try to watch some at home.

hubby selected some highly rated movies to watch. all these movies were not the latest, the most recent was screened in 2010. usually, before deciding which movie to watch, I would read the synopsis to decide if it is worth watching. however, this time, I started watching all 3 without knowing anything beforehand. I must admit, watching movie this way is interesting too since the expectation is not so high. so I shan't divulge much on the storyline but just to share my thoughts on each one.

movie watched on the first night
:: the blind side:: 

from the title, you would never have guessed what is the story about, unless, of course, you read the synopsis. this movie was based on a true story. screened in 2009, it was much raved as the story is very heartwarming and touching. this movie was the best out of the 3 we watched over the weekend.

movie watched on the second night
::  岁月神偷 ::

a bittersweet family saga. actually the storyline is simple and anticipated but it is still a heartrending film. it makes you laugh, smile and also tear.

movie watched on the third night
:: crash ::

this movie involves many characters which life intertwines as the story goes. it talks mainly on racism in the united states. language used were very harsh and blunt but i guess they tried to film it as close to reality as possible. weird feeling i get from watching this show but the storyline is really fresh and interesting.

try to google these 3 movies. all 3 are award winning films. have fun watching them! :)
