...thought about Tsotsi and more

A touching dive into the life of a young thug, named Tsotsi. The film shows how circumstances turn a soft-hearted young boy into a mysteriously quiet, ruthless beast who is easily provocated and doesnt think twice before pulling the trigger. I was treated to this splendidly produced South African movie on friday night at the Student Union and I loved every bit of it. A sudden chain of events caused by Tsotsi's own brutality later reveal his caring, more humane side. The frustrations and emotions have been portrayed brilliantly, and the film succeeds in showcasing how Tsotsi tries to express his compassion and set things right, albeit with his rough manners and thuggish approach.
I'd give it a 8.5/10


It's been quite an eventful week, and a rather entertaining one at that (for a special reason =D) - I loved every bit of it.

My Initial D marathon has finally commenced after days of unbearable wait. Many thanks to SAABi for spending much of his time trying to download all the episodes in a crystal clear print. And boy am I glad that I waited and did not rush through the episodes midway through the dow
nload process. Why? The episodes have been cut so perfectly right when the action is most interesting and you're literally on the edge of your seat with your eyes absolutely glued to the screen. The episode ends so mercilessly, its almost annoying. Your mind is sometimes so engrossed in the story that you reach out to grab the popcorn from the bowl and actually forget to put them in your mouth, and then.....tut tut tut "Inishial Dee"...VLC goes blank.
I honestly feel sorry for the people who watched this show when it was aired weekly
.



Hattaf...
Southpark's done quite a good job with 'The Ring'. I really enjoyed the Jona
s Brothers parodies, and two thumbs up for dissing JB and their freaky female fans in that manner.

Anyway, I'm going to be out and about in London in less than a week...Cant wait! =D

More from London, next monday...


...woops...almost forgot...Happy Pakistan Day ppl!

Cheers =)
