Friday evening. Time to celebrate the end of a rather long week of work. I picked a Taiwanese romance comedy. Cynthia wondered why the randomness of my choice. Because we seldom watch Chinese movies. At the end of the movie, Cynthia was pleasantly surprised. And I was pleasantly surprised by her not hating it. I [...]

Date Night – By And Large, Tastefully Hilarious
April 26th, 2010 No Comments
Cynthia and I have been stuck with each other for more than a decade. So suffice to say, we can relate to “Date Night” perhaps a little bit more than others. We are finding it hilarious, even down to the mundane daily routine. The little conversations or silly things that couples do when they are on their own. [...]

My Girlfriend Is An Agent – So Very Hilarious!
November 7th, 2009 5 Comments
Once in a while, there are movies that are so beyond expectation that you thought: Wow, I am so glad that I’ve picked it. Maybe my week has been somewhat humdrum, maybe there are just too many sad news of old wive poisoning old husband, young teen stabbing his young girlfriend to death, or the [...]

What Do The Stick People Think Of Funny People?
October 9th, 2009 10 Comments
Of the few Judd Apatow films I have watched, I like “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” the most. Simply because I can relate to it, not! OK, there are certain aspects I can relate and that film is really funny. I have “Knocked Up” recorded and it is stuck at my to-watch queue. I think “Funny People” [...]

The Hangover, For Laughing Out Loud!
August 19th, 2009 15 Comments
For the past few years, National Day has often involved music of some forms with my band. This year, the Movie Review Squad met up and watched a comedy instead. “Hangover” is quite possibly one of the more bizarre comedies I have watched. Good news is, the strange plot does make sense as this ‘detective’ [...]

I Love You, Man – I Cringed As I Laughed Out Loud
July 1st, 2009 2 Comments
OK. If you do intend to watch this movie, try to stay just a little bit longer when the credits start to roll. There is a kind of funny clip that you would have missed. The thing is, I am intrigued that Singaporeans, or Asians in general, are so eager to rush out of the [...]

Tropic Thunder – An Oscar Nominated Most Expensive True Fake Movie Ever Made?
October 27th, 2008 2 Comments
For the time being, just ignore the title. It’ll make sense after you’ve watched the movie. You know what it is like not having it for a long time – whatever it is – and all of a sudden, all the listed movies look so must-watch. Cynthia needed to do facial so I thought I [...]

Forgetting Sarah Marshall – So Real That I Almost Cried Watching
September 22nd, 2008 4 Comments
OK. Almost. I may not able to 100% relate to “Sex and the City”, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” is as close to big-boys-do-cry as it can get. At least in my book. I mean, there is nothing macho about getting hurt, is there? And yes, men do the stupidest things when that someone we love walked away. So [...]

If the Birthday Girl Wants Made of Honour, the Birthday Girl Gets Made of Honour
June 7th, 2008 11 Comments
Couple of weeks ago, my friendly boss dropped by my workplace – like he always does in an intraday manner to go through a checklist of 101 items with me – and he talked about “Made of Honour” instead. He even gave a two thumbs up on that movie. That was scary. Was I being Googled [...]

Juno – Comedy Drama Doesn’t Come Better Than This
February 25th, 2008 4 Comments
Drama is my favorite genre. This time, the talented young actress Ellen Page is not going to experiment with how to trap a pedophile and cut his balls like she did in “Hard Candy (2005)”. Instead, her character, a 16-year old Juno, has become pregnant and decided to find the perfect couple to adopt her [...]
