On Thursday, for some reason I dont understand, I became depressed. Having spoken to my father that day and remembering some advice from xVxObliVioNxVx  that sounded just like what he said I decided to take some time off just for myself to unwind, think and just relax.

Although on Friday my mobile wouldnt turn off so I ended up having to talk with my friend who was having some troubles of his own, Saturday was all for me. What an amazing day. I spent the entire morning listening to music (Frank Sinatra, Honey and Clover, et al) and surfing the web (albeit at the Library). After that I went home and cooked myself the most amazing pork chop on the planet. It was so good, I dont think it was legal. After which I decided to go to the cinema as per my fathers reccomendation. I love the cinema and have been falling behind lately. I was thinking of either seeing Zathura or Munich, but I took my time walking so I missed the last showing of Zathura.


Full of thrills and spills

When I got to the cinema, (about an hours walk from where I live) I wasnt sure of what I wanted to see. So many films! I was confused. I suddenly realized how many things I wanted to see, from Casanova to Aeon Flux to Munich to... to Final Destination 3! I wasnt sure until I got to the box office, but when I was asked what I wanted to see it was Final Destination 3. I have seen both the previous films, and wasnt sure of what I wanted and since it was starting in five minutes (and I had enjoyed the previous two installments) it seemed like a good choice.

  
Which one next? 

Needless to say I really, really enjoyed it. The film takes you on a rollercoaster ride (pun intended) from beggining to end. It focuses on making each death intense and gritty not to mention wince inducing. It actually made me laugh at how smart it was, often leading you (the viewer) into a false sense of security just to hit you (and hit you hard) with a gruesome death. By the end of the film despite a minor headache I had a big smile on my face. Not only a movie that had made me laugh but I managed to see trailers for a number of films I hadnt known were comming out.

Besides that the walk did me great. I managed to expand some ideas on a story I have been wanting to complete for perhaps 5 years now, and that just made me feel even better. I think I will start taking more time out for myself, it feels great!

I am glad you took my advise. It really helps develope your mind. I too have been feeling depressed lately. I usually take a walk or watch something that inspires me to get rid of the depression. After watching Spirited Away last night I was much happier despite the numerous problems I ran it. Doing simple things like what you did Arath can really help make you develope a happy life. BTW, I too have been really falling behind on movies. I still have to see Narnia and King Kong.

Final Destination is one of the most underated horror films.

I actually think it is rated quite fairly Manhunt, as for Narnia, it is dissapointing. King Kong is supposed to be very good though.

I saw king kong. It's has some pretty good fighting scenes and the movie is quite amazing although, it's not perfect. You've probably heard that the movie is 3 hours long... well, they could have made it 2:30h there were times when kong and a girl stared at each other for 5-10 minutes... they could have cut these moments... as for Arath, I'll keep reading your blogs, they are pretty fun to read!
