But I'm sure my mates are having a blast without me. As soon as my exams are over you know where to find me! lol

Where was I when all this happened? Ignorant land. That's where I was.

This is a good movie, I liked the story behind it and the types of characters (really, Paul actually). How can one have so much kindness and strength?

Hotel Rwanda is a historical drama film about the hotelier Paul Rusesabagina (played by Don Cheadle) during the Rwandan Genocide. In the United States, the film was originally rated R, but is one of the few films that appealed the rating and won. It was re-rated PG-13 for violence, disturbing images and brief strong language.

There was this one part really got to me - a journalist in the movie was in Rwanda filming some footage - going beyond what he was allowed to do:

Paul Rusesabagina: I am glad that you have shot this footage and that the world will see it. It is the only way we have a chance that people might intervene.
Jack: Yeah and if no one intervenes, is it still a good thing to show?
Paul Rusesabagina: How can they not intervene when they witness such atrocities?
Jack: I think if people see this footage they'll say, "oh my God that's horrible," and then go on eating their dinners.
[pause]
Jack: What the hell do I know?

And its scary but its true. We see things on the news and we do continue on eating our dinners, not really making a difference at all. And we go on and on complaing about our lives and the little things that don't really matter at all.

You should watch the movie - I got my brother to watch it with me and hopefully that will make him less spoilt!  I should also take note and complain less about my life too...

Hotel Rwanda

I was complaining to my friends at work the other day about the abuse of Christmas songs in stores and made a mention about the Chipmunks and their version of Christmas songs.

Then I walk past the cinemas only to find that Alvin and the Chipmunks movie is comming soon.

What a ko-inky-dink.

So the Chipmunks - the old cartoon I grew up with is back, animated and totally going to ruin the memories of my childhood. Should I expect it to be better?

I had an argument about this with Charlie and the Chocolate factory. I still love the old one more than the new. The old one had a better story going - the new one stuffed the ending and for that I can never love the new one and will remain loyal to to the old version.

But who knows - just going to have to watch and see!

Yes,

On the day the Movie released. I went to watch the Simpsons.

Not too bad. Like all other Simpsons tv shows I guess, but this was quite witty - I want to give so much away but not sure whether it is right to do so.

Apparently in the UK they were going to smack a M rating (I think) due to Bart's nakedness (yes, nakedness) without revealing too much, but they reconsidered. Good on them!

Here in Oz, the Cinemas were packed, I overspent in the Candy bar with all the Simpsons stuff and overdosed on Coke and Popcorn. Now I have a bucket and an empty cup. They were HUGE by the way. See pictures.

The Movie

Anyway, it didn't WOW me, but it was good nevertheless so go see it! It's such a typical Simpsons thing.

Otherwise you'll be out of the loop when half the world is talking about it! hehehe - there are classic Simpsons moments that I Love forever, okay so maybe I'm changing my mind about whether I like or love this movie halfway through a blog, that's acceptable right?

Spider Pig, Spider Pig...Look out...it's the spidey pig..... (You'll know what I'm singing about when you watch it)
