it's so close, i can feel it in my bones. and i'm shitting my pants y'all.

from the collective anticipatory hype of the past 3-4 years since i've learnt about this film's existence. at a time when i was still reeling from the staggering genius and insight of the devil's backbone. i haveta admit that not all of guillermo del toro's films are the kind that demand to be canonised but when he gets it right, it doth hit the spot.

how stunning is that?

the adventures of alice in wonderland (fave lewis carroll book everrr) on crack. a melting pot of fantasy, horror and gothic fairytale influences. all of which happen to be genres close my heart.

retreat into the imagination.

the renown is steadily snowballing- bagging awards as it sweeps across fest after fest. apparently the film received a 25-minute standing ovation at its debut at this year's canne film festival. i sniff with indredulity, not because i question its capability but rather i just find it hard giving a half-hour standing ovation for practically anything. i tire easily.

right now, it stands as a nominee of the golden globe awards in the category of best foreign language film alongside pedro almodovar's volver (woohoo!) amongst some reputed others.

another world within a world.

opens in selected us cities on the 29th dec, in singapore on the 30th dec and in perth on the 18th of jan '07.

willing to commit murder to attend advanced screening.

the popular notion about cloning is perpetuated by this constant, pervasive rhetoric that man is itching to become god.

i say cloning is really about man trying to be woman.

something sweet this x'mas

thinking of getting something for that special someone this x'mas? try these uber cool cookies with icing. they're mighty tasty too. good to look at and good to eat. what more could u ask for this holiday? ok lots. but these make for a pretty darn great start to the festive season. they are each painstakingly crafted and decorated (by hand no less!) and they are roughly about the size of your palm or bigger depending on the design. so u can imagine the effort that goes into these.

they're the product of my genius bestie, xiang (a.k.a eileen) who takes on the job of churning these babies out with love, care and glee. so take a look-see guys and if you want more info, be sure to check out the official website of xiang's iced cookies:
