The Wrath of The Titans

I had not been watching movies for quite a long time, especially now that there is no special someone to watch movies along with me anymore. Having watched The Clash of The Titans previously, somehow, there is a strong urge to watch The Wrath of The Titans after I watched the movie trailer advertisement.

Managed to convince JX to watch it with me and hence the movie at Lot1 theaters.

An epilogue to The Clash of The Titans, The Wrath of The Titans moved towards the life of Perseus after he defeated the Kracken in the previous movie and went off to lead a humane life, got married and had a son. His father - God Zeus came to look for him one fine day and elaborated the end of mankind and the upcoming disasters they would be facing in the very near future, and the plot slowly revolves after that.....

But honestly, I would say - this time round, I will only give a 3-star rating to this movie epilogue, although I should have admit that 3D graphics are awesome for such a show. Nevertheless, the impact is not overwhelming, and the storyline is basically ridiculously simple and short.

The action and impact and suspense brought throughout the movie - of the journey Perseus took in search of Hell (where Zeus is caught in captive), to the point where he tried to defeat "Kronos" is insufficient to compensate for the brief ending "fight with Kronos" and the deliberately short story and simplified plot.

Undeniably, I should have admitted that I have enjoyed the scenes though.

Twilight - Breaking Dawn

 

After a long desperate wait, finally, the first part of the last book of Twilight saga series is finally launched. Much anticipated of how epic the movie may be, managed to watch it with one of my buddies at Cineleisure Orchard. 

The love story of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan finally got improvement, after 3 long episodes, and they finally got married. The plot was really cool, except that the sweet little details were taken off the actual picture, unlike the thick novel.... 

Even so, the appearance of Jacob - the notorious werewolf nor the Cullens - pale ones  made everyone cheered, and crappy lame jokes in the show made all the seated twilight fans laughed, interesting portions screamed with joy.

Much of this movie is a success, because the viewers did not get to feel the pain of Edward and Bella - unlike the previous movies which made us sigh of how "pitiful" this pair of lovebirds were...

The plot and story flowed, and the much anticipated "change" to vampire of Bella grasp everyone in suspense, but atlas, the movie ended. :(

Well well, good things are meant to be saved for the last, therefore, we shall wait patiently for Part II's launch...

Movie Review: Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows

"Much anticipated since the very last Potter adventure,

we grabbed this movie 

right after our hectic journey ride back from 

Genting."

 

Like those "old-school" Potter's movies (previous adventures), 

I could say that this was

much much

TRAGIC.

MUCH action-packed compared to the rest of Potter's, 

this 7th movie was much more of spells, deadly enemies and 

LOVE!

It was really lovely to watch reunions of Potter and his old friends;

despite some devastating deaths of dear ones... 

(hmm I really shouldn't be mentioning much;

its definitely better to see for yourself)

A better storyline 

- 

since the movie is only "part-one"

which meant longer duration of film,

this movie reflects most of the book's storyline.

=)

Yay,

I could not,

but even greatly anticipate more of Part-II 

in 2011.

Fuck.

Dammit.

Still ages away.

=.=

Despicable Me is definitely "despicably" AWESOME!

If you love animations, 

you might be interested in this...

By the creators of Ice Age,
Despicable Me is another of the best animations which I've watched so far,
and the funniest furthest!

Packed fully with laughter, this movie is a definite one of the MUST-SEE movies in 2010!!

What actually thrilled me further was that the cool 3D impact definitely made it more villainous!

Awww.... "Gru" (voiced by Steve Carrell) wasn't exactly as villainous as he seemed to be, and he was really really sweet!! (erhem.. i won't comment much about the storyline this time round because seriously,

THIS SHOW IS WORTHWHILE WATCHING!!!

Anyway, not only the movie itself is packed with fun-filled laughter, a surf from the net and visit to their movie website is packed with cool activities too...

Here's a little peek...

click here for the movie website...

and the coolest thing is:

"Would you like to dominate a minion?" 
(that would be referring to the cute alien-like creature in the movie)

YESS!!! ~They have it too!

click here for the minion domination

Well, they actually called it minion dominion and all you have to do (if you've got a microphone) or either if you do NOT have one, simply type your commands into the textbox and watch the cute little creatures interpretate your actions!
That's simple!
=)

Here's a glimpse of the cute minions.. (^^)

C'mon, don't be shy,

try it out yourself !!

Having doubts?!

Last but not least, here's the cool hilarious preview:



P/S:
Actually I had planned to watch this movie with my dear friends, but unfortunately before they fixed the date, dearie had booked the tickets online; and we were counting down on the same day to view this movie before I had actually checked facebook and realised they had planned and confirmed on watching this too.. =(
Psss... but nevertheless,
I DO NOT MIND WATCHING THIS A SECOND TIME!!
*screams*

Brand New Look... and KAIJI

i tried to conquer Blogger's new template designing tool and finally conquered it!!! Perhaps you all might thought that "wow... this girl is mad - had so much time to indulge in such time-consuming "self-figuring" activity but honestly, i wasn't satisfied the other time though it really took me almost 2 days to figure out how to edit the template "donated" by a kind soul online (its really kind of them to share the html codes), but anyway, it turned out to be FUCKING MESSY! and honestly it wasn't the fault of the person who did the design, it was just that i'm plain too stupid for the codes. 

And this time round, i decided to take a gamble and try spending a couple of hours to determine whether i'm able to figure out the "simple edition" of blogger's template tool.. and.. and... yay!! i made it!!! Seriously i do not think that this template is perfect, but i felt much better after doing it because...

1) i put SUPER-MUCH effort in figuring out the codes (its not that i did not put enough effort in past attempts; but i really took a hell-lot of concentration to focus on the bloody stuff.

2) i choreographed my own layout for the widgets and tools =P ---> meaning i designed it!!! *claps...*

3) i really loved the colors (whether its the background/text/whatever)...

Yup... 

Talking back to gamble....

i've finally watched  

KAIJI

Based on the manga (comic) series by Nobuyuki Fukumoto, KAIJI is starred by Tatsuya Fujiwara (whom previously acted as the villian "Light" in Death Note) and basically the other actors/actress are the previous cast in Death Note too!

Despite that I was quite excited to watch the show because i had missed its launch in the theaters,

i could only describe it as

IT SUCKED!

It might've been that probably i wasn't one who is too keen in gambling, but i felt that the plot, story, characters, scenes were out of place. Besides, those portions of story which could be generated further to allow the viewers to understand "why" and "how" this and that were shortened and those which supposedly SHOULD be shortened are FREAKING LONG!

and, 

(there's more)

i was totally untouched by any emotional parts and neither was i overwhelmed nor excited on those parts which supposed to grasp my attention. Was it my fault/problem or their acting was too lousy?!

Anyway, this would be up to personal opinions i guess and neither do i wish to comment this so much because eitherway, i've watched it and i would anticipate it no longer...

**********

- My Current Anticipation -

*GOEMON*

Predators

Despite the critics stating how poor the storyline of Predators seemed... Nonetheless, I thought differently. Though it had been dearie's idea to watch the movie, I have much enjoyed the movie as well. 

Unlike the 1987's Predator, this movie had another plot - whereby assasins of various countries were kidnapped and brought to the "game"; hunted by the Predators and as usual... the strongest whom will survive...

Be prepared to indulge in a world of blood and gore!! Since I am not a science-fiction fan, I would recommend this to all others not-so-science-fic fans out there, as there are not much into details of science-fic and I'm sure most of you will enjoy the suspense throughout a show... =)

The third of Twilight Saga - Eclipse.. "Cullens rocks!!"

I could still remembered the time when I was so deeply mesmerized by Edward Cullen - the leading male character vampire; the guy of all girls' dreams when I started reading Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Saga Series. The books were recommended by a friend, and I remembered buying the very first book of the series from Bugis Kinokuniya; instead of buying them all in a bundle.

At that moment of time, I was still doubtful of whether I would be "hooked" on the romance genre, because I do normally fall asleep if I indulged in any of those! And seriously, before reading the book, I was NOT even aware that the Twilight Series had been filmed into a movie?! Nevertheless, the plot of Twilight did not fail me, and I could still recall those nights whereby I had spent my time totally indulged in flipping the pages of the books, half-eating half-reading; totally time-off my com... and it was after I had finished reading twilight - that I actually watched the movie...

As I looked back at last December when dearie (who wasn't my dearie then), had accompanied me to the movies to grab Twilight's New Moon the first day it was launched in the cinemas... I was soooo madly in looove with the "Edward Cullen" character that I named dearie's xmas present (a plushie) after him...

Therefore, when Twilight's Eclipse was launched the 1st of July, I was kinda upset that we didn't manage to get any tickets since most of the theaters were fully booked!! Wow; just imagine full house at ALL theaters located in Orchard?! Luckily for me, dearie booked the tickets @Shaw early on the 2nd of July and weeee.... we managed to grab good seats for the 3rd of July and were actually shocked that the cinema was full-house again!!

I supposed Twilight's Eclipse was the best movie ever among the first and second. I did not really like the first movie (Twilight) because there was too much of talking... The second was nothing but all of Bella's self-emo days (without Edward) though the Volturi managed to bring some of my senses back to life... The redhead vampire - Victoria also played quite a role in New Moon besides the cool evolution of Jacob the wolfman!

Thus, Twilight's Eclipse is really a MUST-SEE for all twilight/non-twilight fans out there!!! Well, the first movie's about the love story (Edward and Bella) and how the enemy came about, second to mention the evolution of the werewolves and the relationship of them and Bella, and Eclipse is whereby all blend together before the forthcoming of their lovely FINALE! Honestly though, I could not care less of Bella (whom I thought of as such an indecisive bitch); hmmm... those whom watched the movie would have known how scrupulous she was (especially when she kissed Jacob! *ROARZ!*) and how pitiful Edward was especially after the 2nd movie everybody knew that he could not live without her..

Despite so... Eclipse was with a new twist - the rampage of the newborns!! The newborn leader vampire - Riley was unexpectedly handsome, and I'm sure some of you would have gone GAGA over him... With some superb scenes - Jasper of his skills to overcome the newborns, of vampires collaborating with the werewolves to eliminate the new enemies, add a speckle of the Volturis (including Jane) will definitely keep your heart pounding over throughout the show!!

Well, I personally prefer if they would actually re-make Twilight and produce it simply just like the Lord of The Rings because honestly, Twilight's movies are kinda short and the time is sooo little to actually preview and show the actual storyline (i am sure you readers and loyal fans of twilight will think similar like me) and hopefully, the coming Twilight's Breaking Dawn would be a really long one - I do not mind even if its 3 and 1/2 hours... Right now, I could hardly wait and anticipate how Twilight's Breaking Dawn would be....

if you haven't watch Twilight's Eclipse,

here's a glimpse of the trailer...

The Karate Kid 2010

"Everybody's gone kung-fu fighting, those guys were tough as lightning.. hoo-haa!" I could still remember this catchy theme song for the Karate Kid featured when I was young.. So when I caught the sneak preview of the trailer for The Karate Kid while I was watching Ip Man II the other time in the cinemas, I decided this was gonna be a show which I would never miss...

Starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan, this movie was directed by Jaden's daddy Will Smith, and it was really amazing how much power little Jaden had in him as a kid... *winks*. An uprising star in the coming future, little Jaden really acted very well in the show (as Drey) an American kid whom was bullied the moment he stepped into the chinese society - by a martial arts prodigy Cheng.

The movie plots revolves around how Drey and his mum moved into Beijing; how they get to know Jackie Chan - Mr. Han the handyman; how Drey explored his neighborhood/school and how he met the bully Cheng; the pain and humiliation he suffered from the bullies he received; to the part Mr. Han found him wounded from Cheng; to their promise in participation of the Martial Arts competition; the begin of the tremendous tedious trainings to Drey becoming a disciplined well behaved kid with superb Martial Arts' skills... till he won the true title of Karate Kid...

A 2 and 1/2 hours film, this movie is really a MUST-SEE!!!

Some sneak peaks of cute little jaden:

Prince of Persia : "The Sands of Time" - if i'm granted the power back to the past..

"If you have a dagger that turns back time, what event/danger would you change?"

Literally if I were to reply without thinking, I would have said,

" I would like to bring MJ back to life!!" 

- if, and that's only if I possessed the dagger the rogue prince (Jake Gyllenhaal) possessed.

Nevertheless, sadly, I changed my mind!

(sorry MJ! >_<)

If I were to possess the dagger that would have turned back time, and I'm granted the power to travel back to the past, definitely for sure, I would have returned to the day whereby I bought SK-II miracle water on impulse!

I WOULD HAVE STOPPED MYSELF FOR USING IT - SK-II!!!

I've always love to try out new products, but just like the saying goes - 

"Once bitten twice shy.." 

And I am really ready to use this saying because never will I be enthusiastically ready enough to take on the challenge of new facial products.

*****

I am not against any particular brands, but unfortunately, using SK-II proved to be a huge mistake; one which until today I could not be able to forgive myself! Apparently, I had a couple of friends whom tried SK-II and had fabulous skin while a couple of those whom were "anti-SK-II" since their skin reacted strongly against it. 

As for my case, well, I was quite a huge fan of SK-II upon seeing the years of advertisements of SK-II products, most of it were done with huge superstars like Sammi Cheng, Qi Qi, Lee Xin Jie etc. Being more financially stable now with a full-time job, I decided to take on the challenge of using SK-II product -- which is the miracle water despite knowing that my skin is rather sensitive...

and 

sadly as described

...

MY SKIN IS TOTALLY AGAINST IT!

 *

WTF! 

 *

AND PIMPLES ARE STARTING TO POUR ALL OVER MY FACE!!!

I am seriously shocked by the outbreak of pimples - hard painful ones which seemed more like acne to me. Imagine yourself waking up every morning and discovered hard lumps growing out from your face and you are unable to squeeze any of it out?! These pimples are a pain - especially when they grew yellow and once you squeezed them (after a couple of days when they're grown), yellow stuff and blood spilled out like they are some kinda RIPE fruit? The worst part of it was that these pimple-like stuff leaves dark spots on your face despite healing; 

and that was when I was most worried - 

~because I am afraid that they will leave pimple scars on my face!

I am seriously devastated because I trusted the product. Therefore when the pimples (or dunnno what) started growing in the early stage, I thought that it might be prone to when you just started changing to a new product, your skin is not used to it, therefore the pimples grew. Nevertheless I did not give up and continued using it until one quarter (1/4) of the bottle is left! 

What a joke! 

I felt like such a fool!!  

I really cannot take it whereby pimples grew on my face because since the puberty period - which was in my early secondary school days till now, I did not have any grown on my cheeks nor forehead or any of the T-zones area!

And to show you how bad it might be:

I even circled out the pimple scars after despite that they were healed. 

Imagine how bad it was since light makeup could NOT even cover it!!

How dirty my face looked after such a heavy investment of the SK-II miracle water?!

Here's a picture I've taken previously with my best friend before I used SK-II..

It was astonishing how lethal face products are if you are an allergic user!!

Thank god I've totally stopped using it and I am staying with my KOSE range which I have been using it since I was seventeen...

and supposedly it helped!!

KOSE really rocks! My spots are lightened greatly!!

Despite so...

I REALLY WISHED THAT I POSSESS THE MYSTERIOUS DAGGER 

~

FROM PRINCE OF PERSIA!!!

IP MAN 2

I seldom like Chinese movies, and neither do I watch Chinese movies in cinema theaters before, therefore I was utmost RELUCTANT when dearie suggested to watch Ip Man 2 last saturday night and I really wanted to watch Iron Man II after all the "woots! nice movie" comments from my friends. Furthermore besides, I had never watched Ip Man 1, so I was kind of pondering whether I would fall asleep when we hit the theaters...

NEVERTHELESS

I EAT BACK MY WORDS!!!

A sequel to Ip Man, Donnie Yen starred as "Ip Man", a real-life martial art master of "Yong Chun" martial arts; (whom Bruce Lee was his disciple) while Samuel Hong starred as another Kung-Fu master in the movie. The story continued from part 1 whereby Ip and his family escaped from China to Hong Kong during  the days where China was under the Japanese Occupation. Based on a real story, Ip Man 2 illustrates the tough schemed life Ip had to go through, especially in a foreign land whereby he had to survive his way through the obstacles - one such which was to open a martial art school with other "masters" approval...

Obvious with his true martial art skills, he managed to open his martial arts school and successfully enrolled several youngsters as his disciples. As Ip refused to pay "protection fees" for the leading martial arts school hosted by Samuel Hong (also organiser of the Martial Arts Association), Ip often faced problems and eventually had to close-down his school since his disciples got into a fight with other hooligans (also disciples of Samuel Hong's).

The story evolved from the entangling feuds of Ip's lifestyle, his hardship, success and finally back to the history of Hong Kong under British Occupation. Reflected on the racism of the British towards the Chinese in the olden days, Ip encountered a hard decision - to represent the Chinese and fight a "Chinese Kung Fu & Western Boxing" match when Samuel was sympathetically killed in the previous match with the English boxer after Chinese Kung Fu was mocked by the Brits...

A light-hearted propaganda - I personally felt this way since the movie projected the English as the bad guys and Ip was the hero, this movie is a "MUST SEE" since it is able to drive strong emotions to all who viewed the show! After all these years of watching movies in the cinemas, IP MAN 2 was the only show which I saw even Malay races watching, huge applause, loud cheers, whistles and cat-calls loomed the cinemas when Ip fought and beaten the Brit boxer.

Ip Man 2 really drives passion to all whom watched it and I was truely amazed by it since I had always respected "Red Cliff 1 and 2" as the best-made Chinese movie ever. Despite not knowing nor watched Ip 1, all can enjoy the awesome impacts and effects of Chinese Kung Fu!!

IP ROCKS!

[movie] The Bounty Hunter

Starring Jennifer Aniston and Gerad Butler, this comedy really gave me and dearie a break away from our hard day of work... 

=)

The movie plot was simple and lame; yet catchy.

As usual, we got our favourite director's seats but this time round @Suntec.. I wished I could discribe more about the storyline, but nevertheless, I am really tired and I do not know what to describe..

=_=ll

I could only say its really a nice comedy for couples...

perhaps i shall edit this post tomorrow.

Shhh...Shutters...

Weekends have always been eventful; haven't been catching movies lately and the most recent?! 

sssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

We caught 

Shutter Island 

~Welcome to the living nightmare~ 

That will be what is to be anticipated if you haven't yet caught this super impact thriller yet in the cinemas... A psychotic mystery-thriller directed by top director Martin Scorsesse,  Leonardo DiCapro starred as Teddy Daniels; whom with his partner Chuck (Mark Ruffalo), went to the Ashecliff Hospital for the mentally insane to investigate the disappearance of a woman named Rachael Solondo...

The movie started plain; filmed how isolated Ashecliff Hospital was -  the loneliness, desertion with the tight, impregnable security whereby "Teddy" and partner "Chuck" arrived while the search party for "Rachael Solondo" was carried out. A bad omen - hurricane-typed thunderstorm wrecked the Ashecliff, leaving the two investigators stranded on the island.

Throughout the show, flashbacks of "Teddy" hideous war-ridden pasts showed how he lived through his years of guilt and pain. There were scenes whereby German officials were shot and left to die; showing the crude past of World War II. (Apparently Leo enacted an official who was sent to aid that terrible war!!) Kinda gross parts since blood shed and they really got some very gross scene; not really gross for the eyes, but I would say gross for the mind...Therefore it is definitely not for the faint-hearted...

*****

Nevertheless, throughout the show, you can definitely anticipate yourself cracking your head - trying to figure out who is the good guy and who is the bad guy! A very controversial plot of Scorcesse, it cleverly worked your mind to judge what to expect and anticipate the next scene; whether it was to be the storyline or the character?!

Kind of lengthy for a mystery-thriller I would say; but definitely worthwhile for the "psychological" part to play with your minds... A thumbs up for those detective-mystery thrillers' lovers, the ending would be somehow hard to comprehend yet greatly unexpected.

Shutter Island is considered as another of Scorsesse's best art, much overwhelming than the last mystery "Sherlock Holmes" which I had watched previously last year.

Clash of The Titans...

Friday 01 April 2010

The Clash of The Titans finally arrived...

Anyway, I got this movie poster from the internet whereby other countries were already catching the movie in theaters during March whereby we had stretched our necks long; waiting for the launch...

Had a really bad day during the day when the movie launched, and I supposed I really could not take it anymore. Luckily dearie had been very very understanding and patient with me, and the most of all, he was really encouraging, besides forgiving me for not turning up to pick him up from work.

Well, dearie was very nice to drop by my house after he was off from work before we actually went off to catch the movie... I could still remembered I cried myself to sleep before he came knocking at my window waking me up...

******************

I could only describe The Clash of The Titans was really a mega HIT!!! We could not grab tickets anywhere from the internet because the online booking was so packed and the service went down. Finally we decided that in order for us to grab the tickets, it would be to catch it at the neighbourhood mall --- which is Westmall's Eng Wah!! And luckily for us, we managed to catch the titans in 3D version in the comfy, cosy director's seats... (muackssssssssssss.....to Eng Wah!!)

We had a lovely chocolate mudpie and southern blend ice tea @Coffee Bean before we headed to the theaters and as usual, we missed a little bit of the beginning; catching the part whereby Perseus was adopted by the kind fisherman and his family.. 

Honestly I felt that the show deserved a better 3-hour timing because the storyline supposed to be kinda lengthy and the short-timing made the show felt a bit hectic as there plot needed to develop from Perseus being a small boy grown to an adult, the part where he met Hades and how it developed to the hatred Perseus had when Hades killed his family and blah blah blah...hmm... I should not blog the storyline so much because if you liked the show, it would be best if you watch the show and anticipate it yourself...

Another thumbs up! for the Clash of The Titans because..... 

Sam Worthington is just so HANDSOME!!!!

(Kinda looked like Michael Buble to me.. )

=D

And that is the 1980s version of Perseus...

That's Harry Hamlinton...

Gosh, its kinda puzzling why "Perseus" are always such sexy guys...

when in ROME...

There is no reason why I wouldn't watch "When in Rome" because there are sooooo many reasons why I would watch it!!!

Honestly, Dearie and I had wanted to watch "Just another Pandora's Box" but we simply could not get the tickets because all the shows were fully booked and the only remaining seats are the front rows. However, we are not disappointed with catching "When in Rome" last Saturday @Downtown East...

Basing on just a simple plot whereby Beth is so disillusioned with romance, the flow of the movie is just soooo relaxing and hilarious!!! Somehow, it reflected on how I felt about guys and relationship before I actually met dearie... Hmm.. perhaps that was why I kinda fell in love with the movie despite such a simple plot! =)

What favoured the movie more was that we actually went to Downtown East to watch it... The very last time dearie and I went there was when we were~ erhem... before we dated. Thus, it kinda felt　懐かしい - meaning very memorable...

Anyway, another very good reason why I am awaiting April to come because....

I AM SOOOOO WANNA WATCH CLASH OF THE TITANS 3D!!!

2010.03.12 - Alice In Wonderland 3D

Weekends are really short; but definitely memorable, finally now i get the time to sit down and blog... Have been really really busy recently, whether it have been with my life, relationship or with work. Adventures are ongoing; thus i really need to back-date these few entries which i am going to blog of...

12th March 2010 - friday

I was kinda feeling awkward the other time when I saw the launch of Alice in Wonderland... It had always been one of my favourite walt disney's stories when I was a kid; and mummy had been always reading it when i pushed the book into her hand. And wow, finally like a *poof* twenty-over years later, the story was animated into a 3-D movie though all the characters looked weird.

I still remembered at that time I just plainly loved Alice - the clumsy yet adorable girl (despite the actress looked kinda ugly) therefore, i squeezed some time outta the tight schedule and caught it with dearie in Eng Wah Cinemas @Westmall before the movie ended...

We were kinda hesitating with the 3D effect part since our very first experience (both dearie's and mine) was a very dizzy one we had with Final Destination III (or was it IV awww... I can't remember). But the truth was, gosh..... Eng Wah is superbly AMAZING!!!

For the price of sgd14.00 per ticket, you get very comfy sofa seating; and the 3D spectacles are really much more comfortable than Cathay's stiffy ones... Besides, hmm... honestly i couldn't tell whether it was because Alice in Wonderland really had great graphics or whether it was the magical works of the 3D lenses, the total impact was really COOL!!!!

Hmm... well, unlike Cathay's couple seats or those more spacious kinda seats, westmall's Eng Wah provided real sofas... Yeap, you can ask 4 friends to join together to watch the movie @the sofa seats... yesss... that was how spacious it was... =) Thus, dearie fell asleep.............. even after those action-packed parts whereby Alice was killing the dragon..  =X

Nevertheless, the most memorable character in the movie throughout was nonetheless, the EVIL QUEEEENNN!!!!!!!!!!! Till now, I could still remember her favourite line ~ "off with their heads!!!" xD

I kinda felt like wanna watch the entire movie once more...

Have you watched yours?

[movie] The Lovely Bones

The Lovely Bones - - A very intriguing film... I wondered why the show was still not launched in Singapore despite the trailer previewed quite many months ago... I watched the trailer quite some time ago with Jason, while watching other films and this trailer kept previewing before the movie started.

Anyway, I watched the film the other day online, and was deeply moved by it - despite that I don't really like the part about "heaven". It is not really a thriller but instead, more philosophical kinda film, and I really pitied those kids whom were murdered cruelly by the psychopath. In fact, I really hoped that the ending would be the kind that will show the murderer convicted, or either killed by another victim-to-be; with the bodies of Suzie Salmon found, but instead it was kinda ironic, but, honestly, I liked it anyway...

I really can't hardly wait to get the novel, as most novels are much more intriguing than the movie itself - - it tells more detailed stuff which we could not be able to grasp in the movies themselves, just like TWILIGHT!!

Another Sweet Sweet Weekend Had Gone 

& 

I Seriously Dread To Go Back To Work, Where Those Political Affairs Are Endless...

*****

Legion

Haven't been blogging for awhile; since payday was delayed and I was feeling moody... No $$ = No outing (haha =P); therefore, I was being a "guai baobao" (good baby) spending pleasure time @home.

Nonetheless, I DID go and catch some movies; and this time round, it was:

LEGION

The show was rather all about Angels than demons; with a very LAME storyline. I caught the preview months earlier while I was going for other movies before the movie started and the commercials appearing... and therefore, I told Jason that I DIE DIE wanna watch the movie!!

Well, we caught it, together @Causeway Point days before the movie stopped showing. Despite the long anticipation, and abit "DL" (since Jason was late), I was super enthusiastic when the show started...

Anyway, as most of you might have guessed, LAME SHOW it was:

(1) LAME location - the whole show was projected "in the middle of nowhere"; a so-called town and no other locations whereby all actors/actresses are stucked in a fucking old, crappy stop-over

(2) LOW production? - The scenes are all filmed in the restaurant stop-over throughout the 3/4 of the entire show and some cliffs (=.=ll) which I supposed are easily available in any state of America; furthermore, the so-called possessed souls aren't grotesque enough man!!

(3) LAME storyline - Who cares about those possessed people?!! It is so fucking GAY since fallen angel (can't remember the angel's name anyway) defied GOD's orders and protected the so-called HERO's baby - the HERO who was selfless and brave whereby he actually accepted a woman he loved (pregnant with a kid by another guy) selflessly and stayed by his dad's side after the mum got divorced with him and continued wasting his life in-the-middle-of-nowhere's stop-over..

 *********************

Luckily, Gabriel (the BADDIE angel) was handsome enough. The rest of all, are all FUCKING CRAP!!! The whole story cum show just doesn't make sense!!! WTF right?? Since the fucking location to be filmed is in the middle of nowhere whereby a couple actually got trapped since their car ran outta gasoline; yet those fucking people (who are possessed) could actually travel from "dunno where" and all ended up at the same stop-over without their gasoline running out! =.=lll

C'mon gimme a break! The most senseless part is:

THERE IS NO FUCKING ENDING FOR THE SHOW!!!

Imagining yourself sitting for 2 and 1/2 hours or so waiting, waiting and anticipating for much suspense yet the last part seeing the HERO and his so-called girlfriend carrying a kid (the baby was ugly by the way! I don't understand why the production team could not just get a cuter baby)
; carried machine guns travelling in a jeep to "dunno where"... The fallen angel was killed by Gabriel @the part before the ending but yet he could be revived back into an angel... (=.="")

Honestly, besides AVATAR, that was another fucking FUCKED-UP movie, except for this time, its in my 2010's MOST FUCKED-UP MOVIE list.

Dedicated This To My Sweetie...

Monday 11:45pm

 Before I actually start blogging, I added the time I started blogging... since I know that by the time I've finished the entry, it will be tuesday. =.=

Weeeelllll; today's a special day for my friend ---> Its Amelia's Birthday!! ^^ and we had a GOOD time last saturday karaoke~ing... Melia invited me to her party; a clebration which took place in a very "懐かしい" 場所... =) Cuppage Plaza's Family Karaoke. Honestly, I haven't been anywhere near there after I graduated from Poly.

Anyway, we had FUN and I really mean a hell lot of FUN!!! Furthermore, since I do not know Melia's friends well, @first I expected it might be a little awkward... But they are really fun and nice! ^^

Everything started by hmm.. "hihi " (acknowledgments) then drinking~~ Melia kept passing me the controller -- but haha i too shy to sing lor!!! xD

After a couple of drinks...

We start taking PICTURES...

Nevertheless, toku looked tipsy...

No matter how many times we re-took, his eyes looked small..

Finally Bigger eyes...

Group Pics...

The cake was brought in earlier since some of Melia's friends (including me)

needed to leave early..

We sang 4 different versions of Birthday Song

(English/Mandarin/Cantonese/Japanese)

*****Lovely Kisses' blessed from friends...*****

and Another...

I supposed Toku was having fun being both our waiter and cameraman...

I am glad that I managed to celebrate Melia's birthday this year; since I did not get the chance to really celebrate a wild one for her since A&E days... But dunno why, kinda upset when Melia said that Toku's leaving for Japan this wednesday... Hmm... he really become "one of us"; our friend since time past... and I am sure Melia and I will miss those "chiong" days we & Toku had... I hope he will visit sg soon..

**********************************

After the ktv session, jason and I went Cathay for our movie...

We caught.....

A very nice show yet quite an unexpectable ending. Well FIRSTLY, unexpectable since she (the actress) did not end up with her ex-husband in the end. And secondly, i puked (urrrrgghhh..) since I had too much a drink and too fast, earlier on... (>_<)"""

Nevertheless, I enjoyed the witty chat throughout the show; and I must apologise to Jason, whom waited for me for melia's celebration to end...

New Year Day and Weekend.. (Part II)

I woke up quite early on New Year's Day... well its New Year so I assume it is worthwhile waking up all early?!
Both New Year Day and the weekend ahead was all MOVIES!!! Jason wanted to go shopping @orchard central so we both went out around in the evening. We caught dinner's @Thank God It's Friday, but yup, I haven't got the pictures from him which I am able to post currently, but never mind, I will try to upload them later...

Friday's

We caught both movies at Cineleisure Orchard. =) After dinner @HMV's "Thank God It's Friday" we headed over to Cineleisure and grabbed tickets for The Vampire's Assistant. This movie have no ending, and it is definitely to have an up-coming sequel. A simple storyline, much of the "freaks" are actually kind of CUTE and several funny parts really makes you laugh..

Well, as expected from all other accounts, a little something...

to be added on into my collection...

 **********************************************

We actually had very little time shopping therefore we plan to meet up  once more, on saturday

Saturday's

Today was abit gloomy as Jason did not drive, so I had to spend my whole journey on the MRT without seats clinging limply to my extremely HIGH-HEEEEEEELSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! Yup, go orchard must wear nice nice ma.. *Hiao*... xD We met @City Hall because I wanted to go over to fr3b to grab some samples... Both of us are famished after grabbing the samples, and due to my long-time face painting duration taken @home, we decided to grab something for a bite despite our plans for my beloved Sakae Teppanyaki..

Happened to pass by a very special store, what we had to do was --> to pop in for a munch since the menu outside was really irrestible... Our new hangout:

Japanese Curry Rice!!!

Japanese Kitchen is little unique stall is located at the little shops alongside Stamford House entrance. It might be a little small and crammy, but the food is just TOO GOOD than usual... *slrrrppp* Jason and I both ordered curry rice (mine was beef and his was pork) and while waiting for the food to arrive...

Here comes our miso soup and salad...

**

The shop is quite speedy in handling your orders and the main course arrived shortly after 10 minutes...

Japanese Pork Curry Rice (for jason)

Japanese Beef Steak Curry for ME!!!

Eventually we ordered a side order besides our rice...

Irresistibly Fried Button Mushrooms!!!

SHOCKING BUT A FACT ---> The fried button mushrooms are so GIGANTICALLY HUMONGOUS that they looked like BIG shitake mushrooms... Mushroom lovers will definitely go GAGA over this...

An Irish Cream Soda

+

Lychee Jazz

= KAMPAI!! and FEAST!!

Let's grab a preview of POOR jason while I was grabbing pictures of the food...

Poor Him - Sleepy and Famished...

Anyway, all efforts was worthwhile, well @ the least which I thought...........

We were offered a SHOT which we pegged in the restaurant... =D

*********************

Took Bus77 to our next destination ---> ORCHARD and we shopped @313, the huge shopping mall with boring outlets (beside Orchard Central). Very troublesome-styled escalators, the mall is like any other ordinary mall layout except its oversize capacity.

We got bored just by roaming from the extreme top floor to the bottom, bought my DVDs from HMV and headed towards TAKA for an ice-cream and another roam before Cineleisure for our next movie escapade...

This time round, THE MOVIE WAS SIMPLY AWESOME!!!

ALVIN & THE CHIPMUNKS II

WOOTS!! The whole show was DISASTER throughout for the chipmunks, and UNSTOPPABLE LAUGHTER throughout for the audience!! =) One sentence to describe it all:

CUTE, UNSTOPPABLE AND MUNK~A~LICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---A MUST-WATCH for all ---

I am confirmed that their album track HOT N COLD must have sold MUCH MUCH BETTER than Kathy Perry's.... indescribable movie as its you must experience it yourself !!

**********************************************

We make our way for home after the movie and this time round, sadly, no toy-toy for me. =(

Lim Chu Kang ~ Post Christmas Celebration

Firstly, I must COMPLAIN!!! I really had a very hard time editing my blog's template and I finally gave up using my OLD template. Can someone seriously help? T_T

Anyway, I had a real fun time barbecuing with my maple pals... =) Well, anyway, who in the hell will stop by Lim Chu Kang for a barbecue?  Yeap... nobody but us *winks*!!!

The Maplers

Jason the Birthday Boy was cordially invited ..

  CarCar & his wifey~

Me & 1 of the 101 dalmatians which popped by =)

The barbecue ended around 2:30am.. Jason and I went to catch AVATAR at cineleisure...

Honestly, AVATAR IS THE WORST MOVIE I HAD EVER SEEN IN 2009!!

This lengthy almost 3-hour long movie got me snoozing off in my seat during the first half of the show... Seriously nothing but crap, who would want to pay $9.50 for a movie watching how humans and aliens form their bonding? Shitty crap... Too much talking and their BOND crap goes on and on..

Jason even described to me one scene whereby the alien and the human kissed and the so-called make-love. Lame! I only woke up when I heard the BOMBING sound - almost around 20minutes before the show come to an end.. That was the truely action-packed part.

Gosh, and I even heard many of my friends reviewed that this stupid show is GOOD. What crap!! If you are talking about computer graphics, I am sure that many other movies are better... For example, Final Fantasy?! Technology wise, GI Joe and even Gamer fair MUCH MUCH BETTER...

Well anyway, those are my opinions.. if any of you out there think otherwise, i will opt for you all to watch the show personally -.-"" and waste the $9.50...
