A Series of Unfortunate Events

After missing out on a yoga session (don't ask!!!), I very bad-naturedly tromped out of the gym, bought myself a movie ticket and seeing I had half an hour to kill, headed for A&W for a Root Beer Float and Curly Fries. Shaddap. Jangan komen. It was a tough day, okay?

I watched Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Gosh, what a lovely-sounding name. Lemony Snicket. Lemony. Hehee. But seeing as how A Series of Unfortunate Events seemed to be the theme for my day, perhaps it was only fitting (and most apt!) that I watched it.

What a sad movie! Really! It's so sad!! The whole movie, I felt such sympathy for those poor Baudelaire children. They suffer one unfortunate event after another, and at times when things looked like they were finally turning out right, another misfortune befalls them. Kesian sangat! I cried for Uncle Monty, but then again, I have a soft spot for Billy Connolly. ;o) Yet, I thought it was brilliant. It was brilliant in the way Big Fish and Pleasantville were. It's tragically beautiful in the way Nightmare Before Christmas is, almost exactly in the same way. I realise that many would beg to differ, but my two cents. :o)

It's a beautifully made film, the costumes, the sets .. the actors! I hadn't really read much about the movie prior to watching it, and I was surprised to see so many established actors, but that's irrelevant! Or is it? Beyond a doubt, though, the children were the stars .. especially baby Sunny. Wahaahaaa!! She had the BEST lines! *G*

Aaaah .. Go watch the film, this film that says even a seemingly-unending series of unfortunate events ends in a rainbow .. of sorts. :o)
