I don’t think it has anything to do with aging (I hope). It was a pretty hectic week at work. In some instances, you can almost measure how overloaded one is by observing the number of mistakes one begins to make. I read the showtime of 17:30 as 7.30pm, which was obviously wrong. Saturday traffic [...]

Crazy, Stupid, Love – Finding Your Manhood
September 11th, 2011 No Comments
Cynthia was pretty hyped up about “Crazy, Stupid, Love”. TK went along with the romance comedy wagon. I am a huge fan of romance comedy films. Except, I think, “Crazy, Stupid, Love” is more like a drama of romance than a comedy. Most bits are rather real, rather sad. The 40-year-old virgin (now close to [...]

Johnny English Reborn – This Man Still Has It!
September 9th, 2011 No Comments
Eight years have passed since we last watched the English comedian Rowan Atkinson played as a secret agent in the 2003 film “Johnny English”. I am a big fan of his comedy work as “Mr. Bean”. Comedy does not need to be vulgar or obscene like some do. I remember how much I enjoyed watching [...]

A French Movie “Beautiful Lies” Starring Audrey Tautou
July 10th, 2011 4 Comments
Oh yes. I absolutely adore Audrey Tautou. Has it been two years since she graced our local theaters? It certainly seems so. One time, I met one of my readers in person, all because of Audrey Tautou. He is a fan of Audrey; I am a fan; our movie buddy TK is a fan; and [...]

Morning Glory – She Really Loves Her Job!
April 10th, 2011 No Comments
Cynthia knows me well. I think Rachel McAdams is the most beautiful actress on earth. So when she suggested watching “Morning Glory”, she just needed to say: It has your favorite actress in it, the one you think most beautiful. Cynthia also likes Rachel McAdams in this movie. She thinks Rachel is perky. I like [...]

No Strings Attached – And The Portman Fever Continues
February 21st, 2011 No Comments
I was expecting worse, partly influenced by the mixed reviews. But as a fan of Portman, it would be a crime to give “No Strings Attached” a miss. I do not love her less after watching this romance comedy. Natalie Portman remains as a versatile and witty actress. And she has good [...]

The Green Hornet – Kind Of Silly, Also Kind Of Funny
January 30th, 2011 6 Comments
Well, well, well. It doesn’t matter what we write, does it? If you are a Jay Chou fan, you still want to watch “The Green Hornet” regardless, yes? It is an omy.sg organized event, with pizzas supplied by Domino’s. The pizza was surprisingly tasty, and it didn’t give me too much of a thirsty after [...]

Dinner for Schmucks – Laughed Till My Face Went Numb
September 29th, 2010 1 Comment
Again, thanks to Omy.sg, we were invited for an exclusive preview of “Dinner for Schmucks” at Iluma. I think Omy.sg loves me, and I love Omy.sg the same. I picked “Schmucks” because it is mid week and I reckon I need some comedy. The movie is not perfect. But it delivers. Cynthia and I had [...]

Heartbreaker – A Quality French Romantic Comedy
September 6th, 2010 No Comments
If you love romantic comedy, you ought not to miss this one. As far as the story goes, there are three categories of women in a relationship: (1) happy, (2) knowingly unhappy, and (3) unknowingly unhappy. The main character played by Romain Duris together with his sister and his brother-in-law have made a profession out [...]

Au Revoir Taipei – Comically Cute
July 31st, 2010 No Comments
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 [...]
