I watched Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo Drift across the causeway in June. Don’t get the wrong idea. I watched it in the large cinema in Time Sq. Now it’s July and the movie will only be out in Singapore in August. How ridiculous is this? The time lag is easily 2 months.
Go watch it when it’s out. Totally worth the money, only if the sound system here is as good as the one in KL. I paid half the price of movie in Singapore on the same weekend and the consumer surplus is simply overwhelming.
Last Sunday i watched Rent on vcd (original kind). Rent was (no idea whether it still is) a Boardway musical, and musical movie is never my kind of thing. I can fall asleep watching Moulin Rouge on vcd. I can fall asleep on Rent on vcd too.
I didn’t fall asleep during Rent.
The opening act was enough to keep my attention on the show.
Same song by the same movie cast, but live.

I think it’s the “Season of Love” that caught my attention, but later on the other songs, the characters, the dancing, the performances all got to me and got me deeply attracted to the show.
It was good. An unique movie. About love, AIDS, poor artists. Nothing how deep the characters are in the shit, none give up hope and give up living to the fullest. The acting was superb. I was convinced the movie was reality before sleeping bug invaded towards the end of movie (it was a long day).
I’m not going to continue about the movie, for i might just outline the whole story next.
One amazing thing is how the majority of the original cast is retained for the movie, considering that the Boardway version premiered in 1996.
Try looking out for some of them.
