Enchanted~
Filed Under movie | 8 Comments
Well, I didn’t really want to watch the movie but since it is highly recommended by SWei and some friends, I decided to ditch The Golden Compass (which was lowly rated by my housemates but now after reading the reviews from other bloggers, I might want to watch it!).
It was really a fairy tale, a mixed between animations and real people in modern world. And my favourite Grey Anatomy’s leng zai (handsome guy), McDreamy was leading in the movie, Patrick Dempsey! But he ain’t that romantic in the movie though. Fancy buying a boring book for his 6-year-old girl!
The movie is very creative, very fairy tale (I cannot emphasized enough) and quite funny. Perhaps I have too high expectation on the movie as they said it is funnier than StarDust. Somehow I still prefer the movie StarDust than Enchanted, maybe coz of expectation thingy, you see. I didn’t have much expectation on StarDust and it turned out to be very nice for me.
Anyway, overall it is a nice, romance and comedy movie, with cruel stepmother, handsome prince, pretty princess, saviour and all, with a twisted little ending.
Rate : 3.5 stars~

StarDust~
Filed Under entertainment, movie | 4 Comments
I really couldn’t remember the last movie I watched in the cinema. It was perhaps a couple of months ago, yeah, it’s that long! Yesterday night, I went to watch StarDust at GSC, One Utama. I don’t know how to categorize this movie, as it is a little of everything; romance, comedy, fairy tale, action, adventure.
When I stepped into the cinema, I have no idea what was the movie all about, only thinking that it might be romance as the title was indicating it. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the movie thoroughly as it was rather a pleasant one and very creatively scripted, especially the humour.
It is about a special young guy, stepped into the enchanted world to find the fallen star for his puppy love, Victoria (who was such a naïve young girl). He found the star, which is a young lady who was searched by the princes who wanted to be the next king and 3 witches who were longing for beauty and youth!
The idea of the story was very fresh and imaginative. I particularly like the humour in the movie, like the king encouraging the sons to kill each other for his throne (these were really funny), the dead souls of princes as the ghost floating around waiting for the next king before they could be released, the 3 witches who were quite different from those traditional witches and catching the lightning!
Certainly a great movie with a touch of hilarity and absurdity, love as well as essence of life advices (if you listen carefully enough)!
Rate : 4 stars!

Filed Under me, movie | 17 Comments
Yay, today is Friday again! Don’t you just love the day? I live my weekday for this day. Except for ppl like YC! 
I remembered he told me wasn’t excited on Friday and when I asked him why, I found out he gotta work on Saturday! That makes me feel extra happy, not because he has to work, but because I feel lucky!
Anyway, last weekend I watched several movies! One English movie, one Cantonese animation (both in cinemas) and a Korean movie (200 Pounds Beauty) on DVD. Not to mention several episodes of Grey Anatomy on DVD! Almost a movie weekend, ain’t it?
Yesterday during lunch time with my colleague :

SS : You told me mah..

Me : Half price mah.
SS : Still.. watch DVD la.
Me : *change topic* another movie is Knocked Up.
SS : *nvr-heard-of-look*
Me : It’s comedy, English one. About a girl who just got promotion at work. She’s very happy and went to the bar to celebrate with her sis. She met a sloppy guy, who don’t have proper work, doing almost-porn-like website and they had one night stand.
SS : woo..
Me : Then she’s pregnant! She’s the good girl type, so they tried to have a relationship. Rather funny lor.

Evan Almighty..
Filed Under movie | 9 Comments
I watched Evan Almighty on the Merdeka weekend, on DVD! It was not too interesting but not too bad, enough to keep me going till the end. It was about a politician chosen by God to build an ark, as he kept saying he wanted to change the world. So he got the assignment. And animals in pair starting to follow him and his life started to go on haywire. I felt that the end of movie was too exaggerating, too unbelievable & fake.
Overall, it was okay although the movie was supposed to be sensitive on religious part. But I enjoy seeing all the animals in the movie.. =D

I got a pleasant surprise when ZL, my ex-colleague that I haven’t met for quite some months called me up to see if I want to watch Rush Hour 3 with her. She got a couple of tickets with popcorns and drinks, purchased at a special rate from her company, Scope. And I think, Jacky Chan being more than 50 years old (or older?) should take it easy on such actions movie. Not that money is a problem with him, he should avoid hurting himself less in the process of making movie..
Well, why not! Though I am no big fan of action movie and am suppose to go back to Malacca on Friday night. Hmm.. this time I have my expectation low, especially after I read the 2-stars-review-rate from Malaysian Today paper, 3 hours before the show!
But it turned out to be quite nice, not too much action, very funny and I enjoyed beautiful views at Paris, the Eiffel Tower! Not to mention the sexy & gorgeous French chicks as well. But it ended after 1 hour & 20 minutes, a rather short movie.
Rate : 3.8 stars! (Maybe it is nice to watch a human movie after 2 consecutive animations!)

Simpsons, the movie!
Filed Under movie | 4 Comments
And so, I’ve watched Simpsons!!! Gee.. it was a little different, to be insulted at the beginning of show : we are dumb to pay for what we can watch at TV! Ok, put that aside. Homer, the father msut be the worst father in the world to keep mentally and physically abusing his son, Bart, challenging him to do stuffs! Board skating to a shop and back, naked!
Well, I already have too high expectation on the movie that I suppose, as usual; if ur expectation is too high, u gonna get disappointed, well, most of the time at least. And this time too! The joke is too American, too lame for me. But it is enjoyable to watch what I’ve not been watching for a long time, it’s like reminiscing (thank god the ticket is Buy 1 Free 1)
Rate : 3.5 stars!

Ratatouille!!!
Filed Under entertainment, fun, friend, movie | 5 Comments
Yesterday we had a secret plan to surprised Yit after work. KW and I picked her up from KLCC as instructed by Sean and bring her to One Utama. Then we had a nice dinner at Teppayanki using the MyStyle sms voucher, buy 1 free 1! Yit was convinced that we were bringing her there for bowling but of course it was not!
Then we brought her to the cinema after pretending that the bowling was fully booked. We told her that we gonna watch Harry Potter. But when the movie started, she got a nice surprise~ Ratatouille!!! She had been wanting to watch it and told us since last week, again and again. But we purposely waved her off, telling that it was a lousy movie and we do not want to watch it!
Yes, the movie has not started officially till tomorrow but smart Sean managed to get 4 premiere tickets by queuing up from 6.15pm to 7.00pm to redeem them~
It was rather a hilarious animation with a cute Remi, a small little mouse with big dreams! He hates to eat garbage and appreciates really good food. Linguini, the famous chef was his idol! But he didn’t get any support from his big family.. see how he can become a great chef~
Rate : 3.8 stars~ (definitely better than 3.5 stars but less than 4 stars)
Now I want to watch Simpsons!!!

Juice for my tired eyes~
Filed Under me, life, food, movie | Leave a Comment
I miss my carrot juice! I think it is at least two months since I last made one for myself. So on the way home just now, I picked up 3 FAT carrot from China (is it better or worse quality than others, I have no idea but that was the only available ones).
Anyway, after my shower, I blended two fat carrots (I hate washing up the blender) made one big mug out of it. Just carrot, nothing else inside, not even the green apple that crossed my mind to blend in as well. Yummy~ 
So I had the carrot juice with lousy dinner (well, don’t even go to near that territory, I don’t want to be reminded of it). And to make it better, I kicked off my 2 months plan to watch the Grey’s Anatomy!!! My housemate’s Grey Anatomy DVD Season One and Two had been lying dustily on my table, loyally waiting for me to pick it up!
Just watched 20 minutes out of the first episode, hmm.. not too bad.. will continue later.. I hope. Maybe not as interesting as the Desperate Housewives, but I practically got nothing else to watch. I mean season/series, not movie..
Gotta go wash my juice blender now… >_<

Babel~
Filed Under movie | Leave a Comment
I watched an outdated movie on DVD borrowed from my housemate last Sunday night, Babel, which is among five nominees for the top film in Oscar. Overall, the movie is kind of interesting; or more accurately, different. It is about 4 different fractions life of people from all over the world. Somehow, their life is linked in a way or another, whether they realize or not.
First there were two brothers in Morocco desert, the younger one being the bolder and daring than the elder brother; immaturely shoot a tourist bus. He brought a lot of trouble to the family, especially the father. This thread of life shows me the love of a father, however poor, trying to protect and do the best for the children.
Next there was this couple facing marriage crisis, having a trip to the same desert trying to face their problems but they faced something unexpected that would make their marriage stronger than ever~
The next fraction of life was a nanny from Mexico trying to attend her son wedding back at her hometown but unable to leave the two children under her care to anyone. So she brought them along but unfortunately, things went out of control on the way back home..
The last fraction of life lies in Japan, where a deaf & mute teenager, felt so isolated from the dating world as many guys do not take her weakness gracefully. She couldn’t cope with it, feeling lesser than normal being, yet having a strong desire to be normal, accepted like others..
It makes me think that this world is like a big spider web, all lives are tangled together; crossing each other path, yet we wouldn’t have realized how we have linked to others.
Do watch it..

Something different happened at work yesterday. We were given an one hour off to watch movie in the office at 5pm! The selected movie was ’50 First Dates’ by Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler was projected to the wall in the office! (I’ve watched the movie before in cinema looooonnggg time ago, but it is really a good movie!)
We were given many junk food so that it really feel like watching movie : wasabi peas, bin bin rice biscuits, Twisties snacks, raisins, chips, etc (no popcorn as initially promised as the cost is a little higher than normal snack). And the lights were off halfway down the movie as they couldn’t find the switch! After all it is rather pleasant as the movie was hilarious, you get free flow of drinks and tidbits~ Yummy~~
I think it is one of the changes they try to implement, so that people would love their company more and make it a better place to work, more interaction and fun and makes us happier? I don’t know but two claps for their good effort! =)
