The silver lining.............

When the day gets weary & things don`t make sense, look for the proverbial light at the end of the proverbial tunnel.

Sunny skies don`t always appear but if you wait long enough & have enough patience, it will appear.

I watched 2 movies last week: Dreamgirls & Babel.

The first one got more nominations than the 2nd but Dreamgils was dead boring. Jennifer Hudson`s acting wasn`t really acting as she was merely being herself ( flashback to AI, same character ). Her delivery of 2 songs was pretty good though. Beyonce didn`t stand a chance vocally but Beyonce being Beyonce was a treat for sore eyes whereas Jennifer would give you sore eyes. I know it`s unfair but if you want to make it in Hollywood, you`ll have to conform to the their standards. Mebbe slim down a lil` ? Jennifer`s curves were more like huge dune hills in the desert. Her tummy was huge. My rating for the movie out of 10 would be 5.5

Babel was a surprise.....it was understated acting, no power acting. Just a potrayal of life as we see it. Brad Pitt was good. He kinda reminded me of the good ol` days when he first started in the industry like in the movie A River Runs Through It. It had a PG rating & with it came a male masturbating scene, a nude scene & the Jap actress lifting up her skirt when she wasn`t wearing panties. The censorship board has improved but yes, F-words were still censored. My rating : 7.5
