You're getting old...

I guess there comes a time when one will realise that there are plenty of indicators that one is getting on in life, i.e., getting old. Even though I still feel like I'm young, but there are constant reminder that my age is catching up with me. Aside from the normal physical deteriorations, such as in speed and movement, there are also signals from the environment.

For example,

I realise that I am getting old when they decided to show remakes of the movies that I grew up with... such as:

Fright night



In 1985, Fright Night was released in cinemas when I was a tender age of nine years old. Because of the content, I was not able to watch it back then... and come to think of it, have not really watched it at all. Though I do recall that the main character played by William Ragsdale went on to the sitcom Herman's Head, which I did watch when I was growing up. I did not really feel it at first as the 2011 version of Fright Night was released last year, starring Colin Farrell,



who incidentally played a role in making me realise that I was getting old... since he played the starring role in:

Total Recall



Now this movie I did watch, and if I am not mistaken, it was with my best friend Alex Stoneman, and we watched it at the cinemas in Coventry. I was a tender age of 16 years old, but looked quite older, and thus was able to enter the 18+ rated movie at the time. It was great watching Arnie on the big screen, but the current Total Recall of 2012 looks better.



This ones starts two of my favourite actresses, Kate of Underworld fame, and Jessica from Blade: Trinity... hmmm... I seem to notice a trend here... I seem to like vampire movies... perhaps? See you next time!
