Movies: Back to back



I was really excited when I found out I was going to watch two movies back to back. I have never done it before, so definitely it will be something interesting. Anyway, I watched THE GOLDEN COMPASS and I AM LEGEND. Both movies for me ended abruptly. First of all, The Golden Compass did not reach expectations. Of course, it was fantastic with a different storyline but nothing amazing. I didn't enjoy the ending coz for me it stopped half way. But that just makes you want to watch the sequel. Which is a very good idea as it guarantees more money for the film at the Box Office. As for I Am Legend, the storyline surprised me. I expected aliens not man-eating humans(if that even makes sense) . But the storyline was very interesting until the hero(Will Smith) had to sacrifice himself for mankind. It was all too sudden and unexpected. But that is also what makes a good movie. For those who love action and adventure, I Am Legend is a must-watch. The Golden Compass is another magical movie with a different twist with great acting(I must say). As for the Back to Back movie watching, it was great. And I will definitely do it again. After all, there is nothing like Seeing ORIGINAL!
"BE ORIGINAL, SEE ORIGINAL!"

Thailand...Land for experiences

Just visited the Land of The Elephants, Thailand. Took a day trip there. It was, hmm...To describe it in one word....OKAYLAH! Visited a few Buddhist temples up on a hill. The temples were nice.Very calm and peaceful.The wind was blowing really hard and it was nice just to stand there and feel it on your face. There was this amazing view of Thailand from the temple on the hill. It was breathtaking. It was as if, the whole of Thailand was under your feet. No words can describe it. Just AMAZING,AWESOME,BREATHTAKING,WONDERFUL and the list goes on. Visited a zoo there as well. Saw two white Bengal tigers. Again, very amazing. Or how I say it, CUNTED! :)
Went into the town of Hat Yai which was quite chaotic like every normal town. The mall was nice. Except for the security guards who check your bags before you enter the mall. That was a different experience for me. But it was normal for everyone else there. Other than that, the driver of the van we hired was driving really, really fast. He was weaving in and out. He misses the trucks by only three inches. It was,again another experience as he was going at 130km/h. Super fast. All in all, Thailand was a country that is different from any of the other countries I visited.

Summary: Thailand holds a lot of experiences for me.
