Graduation Movies To (Not) Psyche You Up
Written by Julia Lua   
These movies are a fantastic, albeit pessimistic reflection of what it is like to be finally graduating from the gruelling academic syllabus and into real life, where we ought to work our ass off at some position with an overrated job title.

Not to dampen your spirits, eager graduates of 2008, but...

The Atas Guide to Museum-Hopping in Singapore
Written by Nur Rashidah and Lee Meixian   
To be atas, you have to act atas. And nothing screams you're atas more than if you're a museum-goer. There are more than 24 museums in Singapore and we reckon that you won't have time to visit all of them.

So HOOKED has helped you out and checked some of them out for you.

Reel Classics
Written by Rachel Xu

HOOKED
presents you with a list of some of these rare finds.

The Leap Years: A Long Yawn
Written by Julia Lua   
If one could have leapt through the movie scenes in The Leap Years, one would have willingly done so, if for no other reason than to initiate a forceful change in the slow, dwindling pace of the movie.

Slated for release two years ago, but kept on hold to be well-timed with the leap year in 2008, this long-awaited film, much to Hooked's chagrin, wasn't worth waiting for.

Broken Social Scene: Alternative At Its Best
Written by Marissa Chen   
Blame it on Darwin, Jung, or American TV - one of the most vital lessons imparted to the average adolescent is that social hierarchies are a b**** to spell and even tougher nuts to conquer. Bypassing the Holy of Holies that is the "cool table" and heading straight for a gaggle of synthesizer-toting shoegazers instead, is likely to spell (Shampoo) Suicide for any status-starved tufthunter.  

Yet it seems these days that the deck has been reshuffled and everyone is wanting in on the idiosyncratic rather than the conventional - something just a little out there, something a tad off-kilter...all of which would make for a brutal combination, which is just right. 

So, about said scruffy shoegazers. Say they numbered about eighteen; sometimes twenty. Say they stole a bass and three violins and a handful of percussions. Say they were up on a stage together, doing what they did best - doling out spoonfuls of lovely, lugubrious lo-fi.

Go right ahead and jostle for a prime spot, because where crowds are concerned, Broken Social Scene are perfectly capable of holding their own ground, thank you very much.
