Dear Diary...

Whether you're a Guevarist sympathizer or not, this movie is a must-see.

Now if I was to keep a diary, it would go something like this:

I overslept today, took a dip in the pool, had lunch with the family (fish was good), bumped into a fellow sweet blogger in Mishref :), attended Kuwait National Band's concert (always a pleasure), shared a falafel sandwich with K's friend, Watched The Motorcycle Diaries (Thanks for the screening, M.), and now I'm home, I can't sleep, so I thought I'd blog..

Good night, people

Hala Nazzal,
I'd lend it to you, but it's not mine :(

The DVD's been out since February..
Do as I would and order it from Amazon.

Eva,
Sooo sorry dear, I thought you knew about it :/

My Friday isn't so bad.. A typical family day :)

N,
Didn't read the book, but the movie struck me as very inspirational

Plus, I really enjoyed the ride.. the sceneries, the music, the people..

(Gael's lips didn't hurt either)

Shurouq, I got it from Selfridges’ HMV couple of weeks ago, but been stalling as well.. I don’t know why.. I’m a fan of Guevara's and of course Motorcycles.. hehehe.. so I was afraid to be disappointed.. I’ll watch it with ease now.. after you giving it two thumbs up. :P

If you are a fan of foreign films, watch “
CITY OF GOD” Brazilian true story about how the drug war began.. it’ll break your heart… The amount of teenagers dying in Rio in one day more than a month in Iraq..

MsBaker,
Good morning
& Blogbugs are gone for good ;)


Illa Nabithi,
I wanted to add "Dot the I" to my Amazon order, but it's not available :/

Retank,
The 'scribbly stuff' must be Arabic text
Welcome to my blog

:) The Don,
I'm afraid the bike will dissappoint you, babe

And I absolutely loved "City of God"

Usually I don't watch a foreign/non-mainstream movie until 2 people recommend it for me. You're the 2nd person to recommend this one, so I'll rent it as soon as i'm back home.

AyyA said...

Hmmmm sounds interesting, I think I’ll join the club soon

Shurouq, I cant wait to see it! its been on my shelf for a month, just finished the starwars trilogy and will want to watch this and a movie called Kung Fu Hustle which is also supposed to be excellent (the same ppl who did Shaolin Soccer, an absolutely amazing movie!)

I really like Gael Garcia Bernal alot! Y Tu Mama Tambien and Amores Perros were both excellent too, thats why I cant wait to see this one!

Shurouq said...

Jandeef & Ayya,
I hope you two will like it

NyChick,
Let me know what you think of it.

Q,
I haven't seen "Y Tu Mama Tambien"
& I know I should
