PECKPOST

Hi people. Well what can I say about prom? I thought it wasn't very good, really. The emcee was mediocre. He was unprepared, unprofessional and wasn't very funny. The food wasn't great either. I think rayner put it succinctly when he said the audience was giving off who-gives-a-shit vibes. The after prom k-boxing was pretty fun though. I've never k-boxed in my life but I must say it's shamelessly entertaining. I was coerced into singing Don't Cha (-_-),  XY owned Brian Mcknight, Boppana sang I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing (brave) and Smood vociferously screamed Wannabe by teh Spice Girls. Anyway I didn't take too many photos but here are some of them.

And my dad chose these horrible titles

3) The Kingdom (a poorly reviewed show

4) The Ten Commandments (ok wdv)

Anyway before I went to Malaysia I watched Little Miss Sunshine. Great comedy about this fragmented family united by a little girl, ultimately exonerated of their failures (well sorta). It is also quietly disturbing because it has so many touchy subject matters like suicide, drugs etc. While everyone has been raving about Abigail Breslin's performance, I thought Paul Dano was absolutely terrific as this silent, moody teen that hates the world around him. He's kinda f**ked up, and yet he has some really tender moments. Like when they were tempting Olive with ice-cream, I just thought that he acted really well there (for about 2 seconds). 

And btw GO AND WATCH HOT FUZZ. It is the best parody I have seen ever. And what really got to me is that unlike most parodies that turn out to be an absolute farce at the end, this movie still maintains a really good plot while still managing to undercut traditional detective crimefighting cliches.
