(Again.. I'm late with another recent finding.. ^^;; )

Last Sunday I decided to treat myself with Studio Ghibli's recent offering, The Secret World of Arrietty. I knew right away this wasn't one of those movies where you phone your friends to ask if they want to go along. lol! It's a very slowly paced movie, but as you might expect from a Ghibli film, it looks absolutely beautiful and especially so on the big screen. Surround sound effects took full advantage of projecting the sounds of cicadas all around me - nicely effective in immersing you into the movie.

Anyways, this is the story of a family of tiny humans who do their best to keep hidden in a home from their larger counterparts. These tiny humans are known as borrowers - What this means is that they will only take what will never be missed (eg: When Arrietty picks up a straight-pin off the floor to keep.. no one would ever notice a single missing pin.) and will never take anything too substantial. When a sick boy with a heart condition goes to live in his grandmother's home for some R&R, he quickly realises there are more people living there besides his grandmother and the nosey housekeeper. He developes a friendship of strong trust with the youngest 'borrower', Arrietty, the daughter of a family of three who stay hidden away under the floor boards.

Not what I'd call the most eventful kind of movie I've seen, but the slow, relaxed pacing was a good treat from many actual Disney animation productions where a rampant overusage of jokes throughout the stories are not always my cup of tea. O_o 

*whew!* Didn't mean to turn this into a lengthy review.

I'm listening to Polarkreis 18 - Allein Alene Nephew REMIX

Particularly interesting since it's sung in 3 languages, although most is just repeated again and again, it's in English, German, and Danish, all of which I speak and understand, it makes the song a bit more interesting, and it's just generally pleasant listening to..!

Went to see The Dark Knight Rises, what a boring film, another that made me fall for the trailer thinking it was going to be good film.
