The girls and I went to watch the film 'August Rush'.
I didn't know what to make of it. I thought that the cast and their acting was excellent but the plot was a little cliche and predictable. The movie was a little slow moving as well and I wasn't sure what the significance of Robin Williams' character was. I honestly only watched it for Freddie Highmore. I love that kid!! He is the next big thing. I promise. He is so much better than any of the young actors & actresses that I've seen so far. I've loved him since 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. The next thing I'm going to watch by him is 'The Spiderwick Chronicles', where he plays a pair of twins, which is going to be interesting. I mean, just look at that innocent face. I can't believe he's 16 years old already. He only looks 11!! His voice is still squeaky!! At the tender age of 16, he's already been in 11 movies (including 1 voice-over).
You know, when I watched him play the piano, it reminded me of Josh Groban because Josh also didn't know how to read music for a long time, but he still played the piano by hearing anyway. I think that that is just such an amazing and wonderful gift.
Speaking of Josh, his birthday is on the 27th Feb, the same as my father's birthday!! Josh is going to be 27 on the 27th!! Muahahhaha that's like me, 23 on the 23rd!!! :P Okok fine...it's a cheap thrill for me. But something very exciting is going to happen on the 27th. The Grobanites started a "Raise 27" project a few months ago to raise $27,000 for the kids in Africa. Until today, they have managed to collect close to $40,000!!! This cheque will be presented to Josh on his birthday and donated in his name. I can't wait to see his reaction when he receives it!!! :)
For now, I'm going to enjoy the rest of my week before I start class. BOooOooOoo...I hate not knowing what to expect. I miss uni. Come back!!!
I just saw this video on Youtube. It's hilarious and Josh had a part to play in it!! I can't believe all the stars actually bothered to be a part of this. It's really rude but all the rude parts are bleeped out (which pissed me off because Josh's part is only like 5 secs and most of it was bleeped out).
