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...

CROWS ZERO: Of Blood-thumping Violence |

Written by Alicia Tan

At the all-male Suzuran High, you need

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.

Movies are being churned out like hotcakes nowadays. Despite the sheer number of films that hit the screen each year, there are only a handful that would continue to enchant their audience even after their box office run has long come to an end.
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.
