Heart Shaped Box

As Adam said – incredibly kinda delightfully creepy performance.

Jamar Rodgers, I thought he looked familiar from American Idol! Hope he makes it this time around. If he doesn’t, he should just run his own Youtube Channel and rake in the advertising dollars.

Some others that I thought were notable.


Power of Love

How the frak do you choose?

Almost brought me to tears.

Some other good battles:


Smash Musical

Just realised that the main role is played by Katherine McPhee – an American Idol Season 5 Finalist who didn’t win. Just goes to show that you don’t need to win to be a winner.

Forces Spéciale

I went in with little expectation, expecting this to be just another shooter with lots of people dying and one man against the horde scenes. At first I didn’t notice that the film was in French as I could read the text, but I soon realised this after noticing that the actors’ voices were wrong.

As my expectations weren’t much to begin with, I didn’t think too much of it as I was just looking for a 2-hour escape from work, after spending the whole morning cleaning up the office and catching up with my monthly accounts.

But then, I exited the cinema with tears in my eyes. The film turned out to be surprisingly good. My only gripe is that it wasn’t in French. I hate dubbing as it kills the original emotions. Plus, the dialogue loses much of it’s meaning in translation.

At the end, while people were walking out of the cinema hall, I was busy reading the epilogue – the film was dedicated to all the soldiers buried in Afghanistan and also the reporters who risked their lives bringing us the story.

Damn. It’s good.

PS: It would have been better in French!

Musical Mind

Darn.. this tune’s in my head most of yesterday. I like Adam Levine’s voice.

I blame this on too much musical TV. I’ve been watching Glee and Smash a lot recently. Following The Voice doesn’t help much either. I watch them all on Hulu.

Smash is a tv-series about making a Broadway musical and they’re singing original music. Glee is about a high-school club singing covers of popular songs. The Voice is a vocal talent competition. How much more musical can something like this get?

Mathai Sings

I’m possessed by this song. I’ve been hearing it in my head the whole day.
