Once

some good things come out of bad circumstances. a couple of days ago when my computer was busted, i was forced to watch some of the DVDs that i bought months ago. i've just been keeping them unopened as most of the time i'm busy with the tv shows (Californication, Fringe, The Big Bang Theory, Brothers and Sisters, Grey's Anatomy and yes, Lipstick Jungle hahaha) and movies that i download.

one movie i really liked...Once

read the synopsis here

basically, i liked it because the story is very simple but yet universal. the movie is devoid of any mainstream spectacle which makes it a breathe of fresh air from commercial films. also to be noted is how the leads, both of whom are really musicians and not actors by the way, were very effective in delivering the depth of their character's idiosyncrasies. and oh, the music is good too. i've yet to download the soundtrack but i'm guessing that the songs from this movie will be a staple in my playlist for sometime.

this movie slightly rekindled my being a frustrated musician. but i have to come to terms that some things are just not meant to be eh....as difficult as it is to accept! hahaha
