Slacking Off... 

Slacking Off...

I'm guilty of slacking off since coming back from Hong Kong and the ski trip as far as blogging is concerned. Haven't really posted anything other than one or two posts in the geek section.

The Monday following the ski trip saw me sick with a slight flu where I had to have the afternoon off. After a good rest, it was a pretty busy at the office for the next couple of weeks.

March also happened to be the month my video service is doing a promotion where I get to watch all the premium channels for free. I've watched a number of films recently:
(in no particular order)
- About Schmidt (nice and somewhat entertaining)
- The Man in the Iron Mask (i liked how the plot went)
- Beautiful Joe (watched partially, didn't fit my taste)
- Drunk Punch Love (this film got me glued to the tube simply because it's an Adam Sandler film, I didn't get to appreciate to film until about halfway through and I think that being patient does pay off).
- Johnny English (light and funny. I love Natalie Imbruglia)
- 25th Hour (I didn't think about watching as I have not heard about it. But since it was just about to start - it followed Johnny English immediately on the same night, I thought I'd look it up on the net to see what it's about. Then I realised it's a Spike Lee film and it stars Edward Norton and Barry Pepper, so I watched. I was never disappointed. Best film from the list here and highly recommended.)

With just a little over half a month to go, I'd probably be keeping myself busy watching a few more 'free' movies. Bad Boys 2 to be shown tomorrow and saw that Matrix Revolution is in the schedule as well (not that I like the The Matrix - The Matrix Reloaded rates pretty low for me - but that I'm interested how the story goes and needed some sort of a closure.. arggghh). Looking forward to other films like Jackal and Matchstick Men as well.

Harry Potter (1 and 2) are both available free on-demand. How nice...

Depending on what is showing in April, I might just get premium access. We'll see...
