Direct Hit

Lately, I've been juggling things between life and work,and I've completely neglected this space. Well, as usual, Sunday is always the best day to catch up with things and to finish up the draft of this post that I've started last Wednesday.

I was flicking through my cable on saturday night, when I stumbled into this movie called 'The Squid and the Whale'. How could I missed this movie? Not knowing of its existence even though it has been released for 5 years ago.


Who the hell is Noah Baumbach? Brilliant piece of script. I think this movie would be the closest thing ever made on the painful reality of having a divorce. The hardship felt by the children and parents seems absolutely real and the script was really a direct hit. Except for some twists in it which may not be a common happening in real life, it's a freaking good movie. I'm not sure what makes my cable to show this award winner of 2005 Sundance Film Festival. Usually, it's always been those out-tossed box office movies. I guess it's because of Jesse Eisenberg, who is currently having a premier movie which is been shown around the world, was in it. Yeah, the guy who portrayed the Facebook creator, Mark Zuckerberg, in 'The Social Network'. People here are going nuts over the release of 'The Social Network', which I think is far from reality and freakingly overrated.

I am now in the midst of ordering a used DVD of this movie from Amazon to add it to my collection. In the meantime, I'm gonna dig more of Noah's work.
