Three New loves

alexandral+ School holidays!!!! We have been about 100 times in the library and watched 3 films in the cinema (restricted as 1 film per week on the bargain day) with my daughter and her friend Ben, We watched :
-Garfield 2 - Very adorable and cat-oriented
-Monster-house - Very good visually, but I am still not sure about PG rating it gets – the film’s story had some moments which were a little too gross for me.
-Ant-Bully Lovely and promoting team values.
+ The Best THING EVER is that I have found that our library has a full trilogy of Garth Nix (“Sabriel”, “Lirael” and “Abhorsen”) and I borrowed all three books! I am reading “Lirael” at the moment and I like it even more then the first book “Sabriel”. I think this is because I like Disreputable Dog too much for words :). But honestly, there is something in the way Garth Nix writes the books which is really seamless and elegant and grabs my attention so that when I pick his books I can’t put them down.
+ I have watched Prison Break yesterday and now I am not only a huge fan of most attractively intense Michael Scofield, but I am also a HUGE fan of the agent Mahone. Because he is so ascetically attractive and focused and I love this kind of thing.
+ I had to re-watch some of the bits of Long Vacation (Japanese drama, shortened to jdorama) and I am still buzzing with the feeling “I found something new and great”. Thank you very much everybody on my friends list who was talking so much about doramas! This is a new thing which is going to be a huge love, I feel it! (Even if it means bad download speeds :)
+ Work is BUSY and I am buried under the various things. I like being busy, actually. And my last system (Our University’s on-line phonebook) seems to be a success with everybody!
+ Bart-the-Cat is growing to be a really beautiful cat. All my previous cats seemed to be scruffy fellows, but this one is sleek and shiny and gorgeous.

Date: 2006-08-23 09:16 pm (UTC)I have almost downloaded "MAjo no Jouken" - I think I will watch it this weeks
I have also downloaded "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna" and "Fanaa", but they didn't have subtitles ** pouts**. I saw "Fanaa" in the library on DVD, though, I should go tomorrow. And I saw "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna" advertised in "Cineworld".

Date: 2006-08-23 09:43 pm (UTC)The KANK that you downloaded has also been clipped (it's the one that's up on youtube) - I think it's missing about 45 minutes or so, but it also has a lot of English so you might get something from watching it. I highly recommend it, though it is sometimes *very* cheesy in the Bollywood tradition.
Fanaa I did not really enjoy very much. It's not terrible, but I thought it was just a bit thrown together - and I say that as someone who is a huge Aamir Khan fan. I'll be interested to see what you think, though. But I would recommend 'Rang de Basanti' (another Aamir Khan one that came out this year also) over it.

I have gotten mine from the "Torrent Spy", but it could be the same torrent. I will try to watch, thanks for the hint!

Thank you for the rec- I will see if they have it in the library. I just discovered a stand FULL of Bollywood films there.
