Dinner and Movies (Part 2)
>> Sunday, September 23, 2007
After watching Underdog, we headed to Chijmes for dinner at Cosafe Maid Cafe. Due to the higher price of the food there, we decided to have some starters and drinks instead.
The cosy setting at the Cosplay CafeWe headed to Raffles City and Marina Square to walk around next and Derrick decided to join us for dinner. He suggested an Indian restaurant along Race Course Rd and drove us there.
We ordered a lot of dishes and everyone's stomach were filled to the brim.

Garlic naansThe rest headed back after the satisfying dinner and Derrick and I watched a midnight show at Ps next. We watched Savage Grace, a true life story of the Barbara Daly Baekeland and her family.
Extracted from Wikipedia. "Barbara Daly Baekeland was a wealthy socialite who was murdered by her son, Antony Baekeland on November 11, 1972. She was the wife of Brooks Baekeland, grandson of Leo Baekeland, inventor of Bakelite plastic.
Before meeting Brooks Baekeland, Barbara was a model and would-be Hollywood starlet. During their marriage she was known for her unstable personality, rude outbursts and bouts of severe depression. She led a decadent lifestyle of drinking and risqué sexual encounters. In time her husband Brooks left her for a younger woman, which was followed by divorce. This led to severe depression and a suicide attempt.
She had a bizarre relationship with her homosexual son Antony. There were no distinct lines of privacy– they shared everything and every experience, developing an intense dependence on each other, resulting even in an incestuous sexual relationship."
The show stayed true to the controversial storyline and I didn't know it is a true story until the end of the show. I even had thought that the show was too dramatic and exaggerated towards the end of show when the tragedies began to unfold.
The show started off great with its interesting characters and storyline, and good acting from Julianne Moore as Barbara Daly Baekeland. She was unpredictable and hot-tempered, which gradually takes its toil in her family. The characterizations are good and the story engaging with the themes of decadence, dysfunction and incest. The movie is unsettling and tragic, a cautionary film that examines the causes and results of the series of unfortunate events.
