I am usually not a big fan of crime movies that involves lawyers. I don’t even watch CSI on TV. Lately, or rather for the longest history in time, TK and Cynthia are pretty much in sync when it comes down to the choice of movie. So when they picked “The Lincoln Lawyer”, I tugged [...]

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 [...]

Natali – The Korean Erotic Film In 3D, And What Could’ve Been
March 31st, 2011 No Comments
When asked, my replied to Cynthia was, “Too much talking, not enough drama.” She laughed, in broad daylight, “Not enough sex you mean?” It was my turn to laugh, “No, no, no. I really mean not enough drama.” It was a beautiful Thursday afternoon. I could have felt much happier, if not for that sad, [...]

The Adjustment Bureau – Who Writes Your Fate?
March 15th, 2011 4 Comments
I suppose I should count myself lucky that whoever Cynthia thinks is pretty is not that pretty to my eyes. And vice versa. That way, she would feel happy that I am not looking at all the women whom she think are pretty on the street and she would not notice all the pretty women [...]

Red Riding Hood
March 11th, 2011 No Comments
From the director who brought you “Twilight“, we now have a new saga called “Red Ridding Hood”. Cynthia and I adore “Twilight”, despite what the critics said. I was so excited in booking the tickets online so much so that I booked yesterday’s session, instead of today’s. So, we had an early weekend celebration. There [...]

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 King’s Speech – “Terribly Good”
February 13th, 2011 No Comments
“Terribly good”, so said one of the audiences behind us at the end of the show. This movie, “The King’s Speech”, has attracted quite a crowd of Westerners. It must have been moving for some to see King George VI of UK playing on the big screen. He is the father and predecessor of Queen [...]

Black Swan – How I Love …
February 6th, 2011 8 Comments
Chinese New Year is a time we spend it with our family and in our case, ‘extended’ family. At the stroke of midnight, Cynthia, our gaming buddy Mark, and I were in our goblin form (with two others) battling gnomes and machines inside the dungeon Gnomeregan. We did not notice the time until we saw [...]

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 [...]

The Fighter – What An Intense And Surprising Performance!
January 16th, 2011 2 Comments
What a surprise! I am seeing the casting in a whole new light. I would not have thought that Christian Bale can act. Like really act. I was weary if Bale was going to have that batman voice – artificially low and harsh barely above the audible range (for humans that is, not sure for [...]
