the December Boys is based on the novel written by Michael Noonan, and is basically about four orphaned boys born in the month of december who set out on a journey one birthday. a journey that they would never forget.
it's really a film about brotherhood, friendship, love and discovery. it does kind of remind me a little of Stand By Me (one of my favourites) with the whole four-boys-on-a-new-journey-thing. i gotta admit that it was a little hard for me to shake off the image of Harry Potter initially when i looked at Daniel Radcliffe, but after 10 minutes into the show, he wasnt Harry anymore. he was Maps. so it's not that bad.
a heartwarming film for me, i'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's looking for a good movie to watch on a lazy saturday night. dont expect anything. just watch it as it goes and i think you'll enjoy it.
i also caught this when i was in malaysia a few days ago.
Half Light. it's kind of a thriller, and seems incredible in a way. unbelievable in a sense, even though i quite got the gist of it. i never quite got to the ending because i was out by then, but i did read the plot summary and the ending definitely painted a clearer picture of what was really going on. still strange, but nonetheless, a pretty interesting movie.
watch it if you wanna feel the chills from the story, Demi's classic acting or her plastic body.
