a day of badminton & movie "A History of Violence"

managed to play a game of badminton with my friend from my NS armour unit...Thomas...which we postponed since last week...and i pulled my aki friend Aaron along haha...was quite a good exercise and fun...
haven't catch up with Thomas for quite awhile since we deferred our reservist last sept...haha...well well he's doing master's degree in logistics...n going over to US for exchange next sem liaoz...coolz...
then we went to walk walk ard orchard n browse at Borders...and then me n thomas decided to catch a movie...in the end we caught "A History of Violence"...really a violent show...full go killing and shooting (and a few sexual scenes)...but the director did it in a very "normal life" way...nothing being glamorous or sensationalise...however the edning was very abrupt n "duh"...(not really recommending you all to watch)...the actor was quite good in portraying the character though...=)



the synopses:
"Loosely based on the graphic novel by John Wagner and Vince Locke, the movie stars Viggo Mortensen as Tom Stall, a quiet, easygoing family man who runs a diner in a small Indiana town. But when two dangerous criminals come into the restaurant prepared to wreak havoc, Stall turns hero and shoots them both. After Stall's story is blasted all over the media, Philly mobster Carl Fogaty (an excellent Ed Harris) shows up, claiming that Tom is actually former hit man Eddie Cusack--and they've got some important business to finish. While Stall insists that Fogaty is mistaken, his family--his wife, Edie (Maria Bello); teenage son, Jack (Ashton Holmes); and young daughter, Sarah (Heidi Hayes)--gets dragged into the danger that constantly threatens to explode.

Cronenberg, whose films often deal with the fantastical, the futuristic, and the supernatural, has done a masterly job creating a wholly believable modern world where evil lurks just around the corner. Howard Shore's tense, moody music complements the outstanding acting in a violent, powerful film that is not to be missed."
