YouTube-ing

i woke up at 1 odd in the afternoon today and slept at 6A.M that morning. (if my dad's to know i was up that late he'd have killed me) i was youtube-ing, you see. as we know, YouTube is not only a broadcasting tool, it is also a form of entertainment, a tool to gain extra knowledge, and to know exactly what is going on the other side of the world. and so, i have become one of those people who'd sit upclose to my computer and just tube. and i must say, its addictive. :)

anyway i have decided to add something new in my blog, Movie Reviews under the catagory 'Movies'! so if you are wondering what movies i have caught recently, old or new, you might just wanna check out the ratings and review too.

The Freedom Writers, 2007

after watching Freedom Writers (starring Hilary Swank and Patrick Dempsey) on DVD... i thought racial discrimination is one heck of a scary thing that is happening everywhere. riots, civil wars, disputes are going on daily like running water and i doubt there will be a day this will cease.

this movie related to me about the jorney of an inspiring story. teacher Erin Gruwell a.k.a Mrs. G (Hilary Swank), another ordinary new high school teacher of Wilson High who has no idea what her class will be like -- a bunch of delinquents with life so screwed up...you can never imagine what its like to be in their shoes.

coming to realise its all about the discrimination that is root of all causes, Mrs. G decided to try all means by using the-not-so-conventional teaching way to get the class together, to understamd that there are more to than just the colour of the skin but hope, dreams, respect, love, kinship and discipline to overcome their fears and obstacles in life...

i believe everyone have a story to tell...and so do you.

the real deal. get the book at Amazon

want to know more? you should really catch the movie. ;)

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
