Brief Notes
Save & Burn was interesting. It was extremely exciting to see people who are so passionate about libraries, books and knowledge. The documentary moved on to be rather political when Iraq and its literary heritage is talked about. But generally a lovely documentary that shows that knowledge is power and libraries are treasuries of knowledge and since power intimidates, libraries are destroyed when there is war.
Appleseed was definitely not my cup of tea. Transformer/Matrix-like anime which was typical. Save the future world soon to be destroyed. Fight between humans and half-humans. Blah blah blah.
Visions of Europe was rather disappointing. I expected better from Christopher Boe(Director of Reconstruction) and Faith Atkin (Director of Head-On & Im Juli). I guess it ain't too easy to churn something out for minutes, less easy when it's on something as BIG as Europe.
Gave up watching Samaritan Girl because I was so tired. Ended the evening having dinner and hanging out with friends at Holland V instead. I'm sure I will get a chance to catch Samaritan Girl somehow. In the meantime, I need to find time to catch the other Kim Ki-Duk movie, 3-Iron, before it scoots off the theatres.
Nonetheless, weekend's been good so far. This evening was well-spent. It's been a long time since I did the dinner-chill-walk around at HV thing with friends.
Note-to-self: Must not fall asleep at any more movies.
