10th Spanish Film Festival

this week ive watched La Zona with D! ;)) i wonder if he got bored? O_o but the guy on his side sure was snoring! :)) but it was really such a good movie! IMO

“In Mexico City, a wealthy compound is surrounded by walls and surveillance system to protect the locals against the violence of the slums. During a stormy night, a billboard falls over the wall and three smalltime thieves cross the border through the breach to rob. They break into a house and kill an old lady; the residents organize militias to chase the delinquents. Two of them and one security guard are murdered by the vigilantes, but the sixteen year old Miguel hides in the basement of the teenager Alejandro. When Alejandro finds Miguel, he feeds and helps the boy, but it is impossible to escape from the Zone. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil” -IMDB

it’s one of the films being shown at the 10th Spanish Film Festival, Greenbelt 3. im so happy to see one this year! coz im that forgetful! :D i wonder if we’re going to make/have a lot of “traditions”?

and ive recently read Blood Red Road by Moira Young. it was OK. not as engaging as The Hunger Games. i wouldnt even compare it to THG like those who have reviewed it. guess i was expecting “blood” but there wasnt much to it. the story is not something that would stay in my head. or something that i would feel strongly about then rave it with my friends. how the words written with an accent kind of funny and irritating at the same time. so i would level this book to the likes of Graceling, if you’d like that, go read Blood Red Road. im too much of a fan of The Hunger Games! :D
