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.

"We're just into toys, whether it's motorcycles or race cars or computers. I've got the Palm Pilot right here with me, I've got the world's smallest phone. Maybe it's just because I'm still a big little kid and I just love toys, you know?" - Catherine Bell
Unlike Catherine Bell, most of us would probably not have the Palm Pilot and the world's smallest phone with us. What most of us do have, though, is a closet straining under the weight of old, battered toys that we are unwilling to dispose of.
Be it the classic favorite board game Monopoly or the simple deck of cards, toys are treasured repositories of memories. As we age, these toys might be kept out of sight and remain dormant in our minds but the memories that we have of the countless hours spent playing with them never really go away. They serve as perfect fodder for reminiscence during those slow days over a cup of coffee or tea.
Hooked set out to ask several of our NUS students the toys that were able to send them on a trip down memory lane.

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.

Fashion houses ruthlessly churn out new trends each season to coyly tease our senses, all while constructing an endless pursuit which our financial capabilities fall terribly short of. Yet if one has a keen sense of style, you would realize how transient most of these trends actually are.
HOOKED thus brings you an article to intervene in your fashion addict disastrous ways.

What is a classic beauty?
Probably not the instant pop idols of Taiwanese variety shows. With their anorexic frames, mismatch garb, ice kachang hair colour and child-like squeals, they can hardly cut the fine figure of a classic beauty. If anything, they are products of trends.
But, alas, fads come and go, but classic beauty, like anything else that is classic, never goes out of style. A classic beauty will remain beautiful whether it's the 14th century or the 21st century. She carries herself with such poise and grace, it's almost daunting.

You Never Change, Do You? |
|
Written by Darrel Chua & Yeo Zhi Qi
|
The common notion that men are from Mars and women are from Venus clearly divides us into types and this speaks volumes about the attitudes that each gender harbors towards the other's behavioral traits.
So what is a Timeless issue without talking about the timeless traits that the other gender has, which grates us and yet makes us appreciate them? Well, we may not be able to change the other, but we sure can change our attitudes towards them!

The Timelessness of Our Campuses |
|
Written by Parvinder Gill
|
In Singapore, it is easy for a new visitor to get overwhelmed by our towering skyscrapers and write our city off as yet another "concrete jungle". A more discerning visitor, who takes the time to explore the city would discover what the locals have already known, that is, that there is a unique blend of old and new integrated in the architectural footprint of the nation.
Admittedly, it took us a while to realize that modernity need not always be in conflict or in opposition to age-old, enduring styles but can be complementary. Heritage zones started propping up in some of the oldest parts of the city, colonial-style bungalows/buildings were refurbished with minor cosmetic changes made to their white-washed exteriors; some of them were even transformed to food and beverage outlets and hotels.
And NUS proved not to be far behind in the change as well.
