LOTR - The Two Towers
Sunday, June 8, 2014
I'm a huge fan of The Lord of the Rings - although I admit that I tried (and failed terribly) at trying to read the great works of J.R.R Tolkien.
Went for the performance of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers orchestral performance by the Metropolitan Festival Orchestra, Vocal Associates Festival Chorus and Children's Choir yesterday.
It played the complete recordings of The Two Towers over 3 full hours against a big screen playing the movie with the same name. Magic. Pure...
The Grand Budapest Hotel

Not a huge Wes Anderson fan but this looks interesting...
Les Miserables - Fight. Dream. Hope. Love.
Monday, December 31, 2012
I have not watched the musical before (in real at least) so I can't judge much, less make a good comparison. I've read about the tragic lives of those that resides in the famous work of Victor Hugo, listened endlessly to the famous tunes of their successful musical, like One Day More, I Dreamed a Dream and Do You Hear the People Sing?, but nothing quite prepared me for the awe I felt throughout the full 158 minutes of the film.
I love how the movie stayed true to the musical (Ok I watched...

Omg it's already December. Where did the year go to!?
That aside, I can't wait for Les Miserables movie! :) Will update when work isn't this hectic!

The Amazing Spiderman
Friday, July 6, 2012
So the BF and I caught The Amazing Spiderman a couple of hours ago. I must admit I wasn't too open to the idea of having someone else play Spiderman, since Tobey Maguire took my heart away as the first Peter Parker 10 years ago (god I feel old already). It didn't help either that Emma Stone is Gwen Stacy and not Mary Jane (which means no more Emma Stone in future Spidey films?! That's unacceptable.).
That being said, I did enjoy the movie though. Albeit slow at some parts, I thought the director...
Afro Circus overload
Monday, July 2, 2012
This is the only thing I can remember from Madagascar 3.
Oh wait, and my favourite King Julien too ;) If you need 90 minutes worth of senseless humour, this is a real good choice ...
Marvel's The Avengers
Wednesday, May 2, 2012
I've joined in the global craze for The Avengers.
Caught it and LOVED it. To be honest, I went in with some really deep fears. Is the movie going to give equal screen time for all heroes? Is the storyline going to be shits because it has all these mega characters (Transformers anyone?)?
I love how the director intelligently compressed a library of superheroes into a solid 2.5 hours movie brimming with humour and adventure (personal favourite has to be the physical humour between Hulk and Loki). The...
The Cabin in the Woods
Sunday, April 29, 2012
It's pretty freaky but it's one of those rare movies which combines comedy and horror really well. Haha. I can't remember the last horror that has the crowd all tickled up and screaming at the same time.
It's not TOO bad a movie, but I guess I went in expecting to catch a typical horror film..so I came out of the cinema a little unsatisfied. That being said, I do recommend a watch. Best if you go in not knowing anything about the storyline. Try to crack the mystery along the way! It's more...
Nice Friday
Saturday, March 17, 2012
Just came home from a movie with the BF - we caught The Lorax. I wouldn't say it's an exceptional show but it had a meaningful message for viewers to bring home.
"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." - Dr. Seuss
I like the way they talked about how the selfishness of mankind brought about the destruction of nature, of living habitats, and how at the end of the day we are really just bringing harm to ourselves. I would give it a 3.5/5 score....
We Bought A Zoo

"All it takes is 20 seconds of insane courage"
Lovely movie.
Yes I sneaked out from working the whole day to catch a movie with the BF. And that explains why I'm still up at this hour. Wails.
Oh prioriti...
那些年，我们一起追的女孩
Sunday, November 20, 2011
Loosely translated - All those years, the girl we went after.
I bought the book about 4 years back. It's written by 九把刀 (aka Giddens Ko), who rose to fame in Taiwan for the internet novels he wrote. The book is his semi-autobiography. It talks about the bulk of his youth days, about a girl whom he and his close buddies went after, for 8 years (16 to 24 year old) *Spoiler* He never got together with her. Heck he never even got to hold her hand. He was inspired to write this book when he received...
Captain America
Sunday, August 14, 2011
I should have updated this a while back but work has overwhelmed me and I didn't bother to. Hahaha
Caught Captain America with the bf (last week?) and man I love it so so much. Ok minus the part this was zooming across the screen most of the time:
Distracting - is an understatement. That aside, the movie couldn't have come at a more timely manner, with US credit ratings down, the world's economy looking as bleak as it can be.
I guess we all need a Captain America at this point in time.
P.S:...
Thor
Monday, May 16, 2011
I caught Thor a few weeks back and I've been wanting this certain hunk to grace a page of my blog.
Chris Hemsworth.
Geez, does this guy looks like he belongs to this planet?? Hell no. I forgot how many times I gushed and said "Oh my god he's so hot" to the bf. I'm sure he rolled his eyes at me umpteen times throughout the movie.
Blogger has refused to upload any photos of Chris Hemsworth =O
I'll update it when the system is working to my favour. Hahaha. Meanwhile let me drool upon him ...
Movies galore
Sunday, November 7, 2010
Managed to catch 2 awesome movies this weekend - The Social Network and Megamind.
It was awesome. I love the way it was filmed and how the story unfolds itself along the way. No one was really made a "bad" character in the whole start of F*acebook although Z*uckerburg was portrayed as an extremely smug guy who believes and knows he can probably get away with anything and everything because he goes to Harvard and is pretty much smarter than anyone else.
Or maybe he really is....
Despicable Me
Sunday, July 25, 2010
W*endy and me had a whale of a time laughing at these 2 trailers while on the bus today.
Can't wait to catch this next week! (hopefully with fingers and toes cross...

Strongly recommend everyone to go catch ...
When in Rome
Sunday, March 21, 2010
Just finished watching "When in Rome".
It's madly hilarious! I had fun laughing with everyone in the cinema! :)
I say it's a must watch :)
Ok time to read some emails ...
The Hurt Locker
Friday, October 16, 2009
Thanks everyone =) I'm feeling muchos better after hearing from my friends. Heart you guys man! =)
Went to watch The Hurt Locker yesterday (actually I'm really up to date with all movies so feel free to ask me for reviews) - awesome!
It's awful to wake up everyday not knowing if you will live to see the sunset.

Taken
Saturday, April 25, 2009
First of all, thanks to all the dear friends who showered me with concern and a listening ear. Thanks! I'm much better now - just still a little withdrawn at home.
My sister is trying her best to make me open up and I do appreciate the effort.
Ok back to the title.
Watch "Taken" today with JiaHui.
Awesome-ness show.
Liam Neeson is a really good actor (not to mention really hot for his age). The plot is tight and realistic (well except that part that I think the whole thing was really smooth...
