10 Things I Hate About You

One of my favourite parts in the movie 10 Things I Hate About You
♥  Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger

 

 

My Watch List

Here are some of the movies I'm hoping to watch in the second half of 2011. Can you believe its August already?!!

Hanna

A must watch, only because 2 of my favourite actresses are in it - Saoirse Ronan and Cate Blanchett. Second reason? The awesome soundtrack by The Chemical Brothers. Third? Gorgeous cinematography.



Abduction

Starring Taylor Lautner as a normal American teenager who finds out that his parents are not really his parents. I like the script, I like Taylor Lautner's face even better!




Johnny English Reborn

The genius Rowan Atkinson reprises the role of Johnny English, bumbling secret agent who will inevitably save the day. I will watch this simply because the movie will make me laugh. :D



Dolphin Tale

Animal lover or no, this true story will move you to perhaps do something bigger in your life. I am feeling that way just by watching the trailer, but that's just probably me being impressionable me.





Rise of the Planet Apes

Awesome CGI. James Franco. Andy Serkis. John Lithgow. Yes!



One Day

Featuring another favourite actress of mine, Anne Hathaway, One Day is not the usual run-of-the-mill romance. I kinda like that they meet every year on the anniversary of the day they first met - July 15th. Tear fest alert. Not sure if the bf will wanna go with me.



The Help

This movie is based on a novel of the same name by author Kathryn Stockett, about African American maids working in white households in the South during the early 1960s.



Jumping the Broom

I like this other take on African American lives in today's modern times. Jumping the broom refers to the African American tradition of jumping over a ceremonial broom when one gets married. Get ready to be tickled tickled tickled! Its already out, so I'll have to find the DVD...somewhere...



Attack the Block

I like English accents, the real thing mind you, by real English actors - which might explain why I am liking Ms Huntington in the recent Transformers movie, even though Megan Fox fits the bill better. But I digress. This movie picked up the midnight feature award at 2011 SXSW and is produced by the same people who brought us Shaun of the Dead (hilarious movie, go watch if you haven't). Aliens, English people, and the irritating but lovable Nick Frost.



Overheard 2

Back in 2009, Overheard was the best Chinese film I had watched in ages. Helmed by three of the best actors in HongKong - Lau Ching Wan, Louis Koo and Daniel Wu, this movie overshot all my expectations of a Chinese film. I hope the sequel will be as good, if not better. Am I hoping too much? Sequels are seldom as good.

Movie Review: Hello Stranger

If you have not caught this in Singapore, please do. I think the run will be ending soon.

This Thai rom-com is filmed and set largely in Korea and one sees the most amazing touristy spots (as well as those locations made famous by the drama serials, like the Coffee Prince, and Winter Sonata) in the course of the movie.

Two heart-broken people meet in the city of Seoul and they travel together, forging a close bond after just a few days. They realise that they have fallen in love with each other and start dating, only for the plot to take a twist....watch to find out more. I'm not going to spoil the movie for you!!


I laughed till my belly hurt. So if you like to laugh, or if you like the feeling of your belly hurting, hurry to the cinemas now. The movie is only shown at Golden Village cinemas!

This Sucks

And is kinda scary...i mean the poster, not the movie.

Beautiful Sunday

I watched Goemon today, thinking that it would be like any other Japanese anime movie.

I was so wrong.

Throughout the movie, this one word kept appearing in my mind to describe what my eyes were seeing: beautiful.

I know this word has been overused, but surely no other turn of phrase can be used to describe the movie. To try and explain more would be almost like muddying clear waters.

Deathly Hallows Preview

The preview is out. I can't wait!


Dh Preview One - The best bloopers are here

Today is the day...

Today is the day I went to JB again. I'm telling you, its fast becoming the place to go for me, mainly because things there are cheaper, and I only need less than an hour to cross the border.

Well, today took slightly longer because I went there during peak hour. Its very crazy at the bus interchange. Queues snake anywhere, and you're not sure if you are queuing in the right lane. And some people purposely don't ask, and sneakily form another lane next to yours so that when the bus comes, suddenly there are three lines converging towards the bus. Its damn irritating!
You know me, I won't give way, until Soap pulled me away to avoid being crushed by those people. Whats the rush honestly? Its not like the wait for the next bus is another hour!!! I shall make a point never to go during peak hour again.

Watched Underworld 3 today at City Square. The movie's fast-moving with alot of action, but I strongly suggest you watch the first two movies first to avoid getting a little confused. I kept asking Soap questions like "who's Sonja?", "who's Lucian?", "were they in the first movie?" - okay okay, I know. very irritating. But i can't help it. My memory short circuits when it comes to remembering movies. LOL.

I went shopping too!

Bought a pair of bling gunmetal silvery flats at only 39.90RM (SGD16.90), new lingerie at Minoshe and of course, I couldn't resist going to Etude House again, where I FINALLY bought the Tear Drop Lash I've been trying so hard to find. I also got the Magic Crystal Mousse Peel (the sales girl said this is better for application than the pack). Can't wait to try it!!!

And of course, I got to eat the very delicious chicken curry complete with warm bread from the oven! Yummy!

I can't wait for my next trip to City Square. Bride Wars here i come!!!!

Natalie Martinez

I watched Death Race today with Rossi, Hairie and Soap. The lead actress in the movie is Natalie Martinez. I found her so familiar but I couldn't tell where I had seen her until I googled her. And got it. Yes, Fashion House!

Fashion House was a telenovela that I saw when I was in Sydney - a drama series focusing on the going-ons of a Fashion House - the House of Gianni. It wasn't very interesting though. The acting was at best only average and the plot superficial. However, the telenovela showcases familiars like Bo Derek and Morgan Fairchild - matriachs of the scene. They still look so good!!

So back to Death Race. Gory, violent but loads of racing action that makes Fast and Furious so lame in comparison. Well and also Natalie's gorgeous on-screen so that's another plus point. Boy, this does sound like a jock's blog.


More babespreads to come. I figured since I'm always posting about pretty things, I should post some entries on pretty humans as well.

the men of 300

Okay, so the movie sucked big time. But it more than made up for it with all the visuals of gleaming hard bods. Mmmm. I especially liked Tom Wisdom. So he looks like a model, but really, he's not. A stage and television actor in Britain. Thankfully not some himbo. But you know who took the cake? Rodrigo Santoro as Xerxes. As the credits flashed on screen at the end of the movie, his name came up. I kept wondering why I found that name familiar. Went home, googled him. He's the hottie in Charlie's Angels and Love Actually! The wonders of makeup. He so looked like a drag queen. Don't believe? See for yourself.

From this....

And this....

To this......

Yes, that huge, golden, drag queen creature is the Rodrigo Santoro! Will wonders ever cease. Hahaha.
