lse prides itself on being all radical and left-wing and politically active, but chim's classes in berkeley sound way more radical!!! haha way to go. i would love to be in these shocking-as-hell, innocence-losing, earth-shattering lessons. isn't that the best part of education? having said that i think i am being more usefully educated by the films im watching here.. and so here are my favouritest ever:

1. crash: it just won an oscar for best picture!! i'm so glad cos this movie is really good. abt discrimination. ppl here discriminate and are discriminated against... no one is 'good' or 'bad', everyone is just human. for me there was stunned disbelief, there was overwhelming sympathy, there was great sadness. and the unbelieveable soundtrack!!

2. fight club: edward norton who is a freaking good actor and the delicious brad pitt. the 'twist' may be well anticipated in advance but still i like the acting and the style and the gory violence.

3. godfather: classic lah!! watch al pacino absolutely shine. it's a slow start but ultimately the mafia is damn cool la.

4. pulp fiction: travolta and samuel l jackson are fantastic and quentin tarentino's direction is just too cool. very entertaining.

5. trainspotting: ewan mcrgregor and a bunch of junkies on the way to self destruction. iconic film for our times.

6. american history X: surprisingly good. but then again, edward norton is in this too. skinheads in american suburbia.

damn good stuff lah!! seriously. must watch boys dont cry, road to perdition, the green mile, the rest of godfather soon. good movies seriously kick ass. worth every minute of your time!!

love out!
