Am watching Enough on AXN, and Jennifer Lopez cannot act. Caught a Czech movie today with Derrick and Thong, Wrong Side Up, one of the offerings of the 19th Singapore International Film Festival. It's quirky, and the ending is either bad, bizarre or funny, depending on how you take it. Basically, this guy wants to mail himself to his girlfriend to propose to her, but he ends up getting sent to Cuba with a shipment of humanitarian aid. He got the idea from his boss, who'd mentioned at the beginning of the show that some guy tried to do that once in the days of the Berlin Wall, the guy being the boss, as we learn at the end of the film. Overall though, I don't think the film was worth the money I paid to watch it. Then we had dinner at Pepper Lunch, before Thong and I headed to Kinokuniya. I almost bought a couple of Calvino books, but then I realised I wasn't sure if Vintage Classics published all of Calvino's work, so I passed and bought some Nabokov instead. Specifically, The Enchanter, described as the precursor to his most popular work, Lolita, and his The Stories Of Vladimir Nabokov. They look quite nice on the shelf next to my Vintage International editions of Julian Barnes's work. Haha...
