Been watching a few movies this past week. After The Infidel two Saturdays ago, I managed to catch Babies (this documentary about, well, babies), Wall Street:Money Never Sleeps and just now, Nowhere Boy.
Out of the three, I must say, I love Nowhere Boy. But then again, I am biased. What can I say? John Lennon is one of my top 3 idols...next to Mark Twain and George Carlin, of course.
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere Land
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Babies (the documentary) was to me...bizarre. I am quite embarrassed to say that well..I didnt like it very much. Not that I am ashamed of my personal dislike for wailing infants but I am ashamed at my inability to enjoy a plotless, simple narrative which holds true to the concept of cinema verite. The story is a 90-minute depiction of the lives of 4 babies...how they were delivered, nurtured and taken care of.
30 minutes into the film, I turned to Meiling and said "Why did I ever agree to watch this?"
I must have had a rough childhood, man.

Talking about babies, Sharinah has given birth to a set of male twins. The babies are almost 2 months' premature and will be placed under hospital supervision for 4 months. Hope everything goes well for mummy and her soldiers.
