read between the lines
i saw it first for some reason, the movie music and lyrics keeps getting publicised, more so than in my hometown, and since my colleagues have been talking about it, i feel the need to give my two cents' worth on the movie since i watched it before anybody here (heheh) when i was in my hometown last weekend (i would like to thank the friend who told me there was an S$8 taxi ride from here to jb and a mere RM10 for the trip back, thereby eliminating the need to endure the mob that pushes and shoves their way into the buses at the customs and never fail to fill me with genuine fear).in terms of a romantic plotline (which seemed to be the pitch being proposed in all the movie's collaterals), i thought the development was not quite there. but, since i'm biased, i thoroughly enjoyed the visuals. hugh grant in that funny 80s-style hairdo and clothes (in a duran duran-ish music video), songwriting sessions, grand pianos, ProTools (industry-standard recording equipment i loved playing with back in school)....what else interests me more? and they had that all in one movie, despite the fact that the script could have been worked on better. |
