The first DVDs we rented

We were so excited at the prospect of playing DVDs on a blu-ray player and watching them on a huge TV that we went out to get some to watch. Sua-kus are like that, you see. Everything must try.

Life of Pi was 'boring like hell'. Firstly, I was shocked that the main character is an indian guy. I thought the guy on the trailer was just tanned from being exposed to ultra-violet rays. Then, it didn't begin with an adventure to somewhere. It is about a boy who is pissed with being nicknamed 'pee-sing' and he resortd to educate his peers and teachers about his self-created shortened name 'Pi' at the first day of a new school year.

Then it is about his family education which occurs at dinner time almost all the time.

After that, his family begins sailing to ... another country to start their new life for some reason I cannot recall, and a storm shipwrecks the ship and he is the only survivor, with a tiger he tries very hard to tame.

And most of the story is about his being on the boat, waiting, thinking and strategising his survival despite the tiger.

The movie tries to be spectacular at the sea scene. There are scenes of armies of luminous jellyfish that do not sting Pi, a humpback whale performing a breach and giving a mighty splash ... I am sure there are others, just that I can't recall. See? How forgettable the movie is!

It's like an old-people movie. Reminiscing about the past. Eeks!

Rapunzel was comparatively entertaining. I enjoyed watching the movie-quality DVD show alot, except that the disc was a little faulty! No pixelation unlike the standard-definition TCS shows.

I told William perhaps we could now stay home and watch rented DVDs!
