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 [...]

I Enjoy Watching New York I Love You
January 24th, 2010 10 Comments
Despite the mixed review, if I am to examine why I find “New York, I Love You” a pleasurable film to watch, the list would look something like this. I enjoy reading short stories. Short stories often has a faster pace, a metaphor, and a twist as resolution. When I was younger, I found short stories [...]

The Twilight Saga: New Moon – The Non-Fans Won’t Get It
December 5th, 2009 10 Comments
The question, I think, is why “New Moon” can get away with the disjointed subplots and cheesy dialogues and yet able to make tons of girls in the theatre we visited swooning all the way from opening to the end credits – literally so. Some guys would play along and ‘swooned’ ahead of the girls causing [...]

Love Happens, A Misleading Title?
October 31st, 2009 10 Comments
Do bloggers know no bounds in what they write? Do I know no bounds in what I write? I am not sure if fellow bloggers have faced a similar situation. At times, in a friendly catching up occasion, my friend would suddenly turn to me and ask, “You wouldn’t put that into your blog, would [...]

What Not To Love About (500) Days Of Summer?
October 17th, 2009 8 Comments
8 hours before the show started, on a slow and lovely Friday, our movie-partner-in-crime sent me a text message saying that he could not make it, for he remembered there was a birthday party to attend. Panic! On the 11th floor! Who was going to take over that one single movie ticket? Cynthia and I [...]

Coco Before Chanel – Those Deep Black Eyes That Say More Than Words
August 29th, 2009 3 Comments
I knew I shouldn’t trust The Straits Times’s review, especially one written by Ong Sor Fern. She is still writing reviews for our local paper, after all these years. Amazing (in a not so good way). I haven’t read her review prior to watching the movie. Cynthia did and has decided to give “Coco Before [...]

Threads of Destiny – OK, I Wonder What Part 2 Would Be Like
July 18th, 2009 No Comments
So I had a movie ‘date’ with a … guy. Because Cynthia has an social gathering with other girls and she doesn’t like to watch sappy Japanese movies. Sure, give me some of those tragic tears. I mean that’s what you would expect when you watch a Japanese teenage romance, especially one that is from [...]

He’s Just Not That Into You – My Buddy’s Just Not That Into The Signals Of The Opposite Sex
February 23rd, 2009 7 Comments
My buddy whom I am not going to reveal here must have found the film rather confusing by the girls who dissect signals from a relationship in that kind of detail. He fell asleep and snored (just a bit) halfway into the show. Gosh! Though I am from the male species, I do have my share of trusted moments when [...]

We Celebrated Christmas Eve the Twilight Way
December 25th, 2008 16 Comments
Wow. How Kristen Stewart has grown up from the 12 years old Panic Room diabetes into one fine young actress who is in love with … a vampire. Twilight watched like a mix of my favorite TV series Buffy and Felicity. Add that with the cool rock numbers by Linkin Park, Muse, Paramore, and more [...]

Vicky Cristina Barcelona – And Beyond the Eye Candies …
October 1st, 2008 5 Comments
I must be one strange dude. I got lost between the two girls kissing each other inside a dark room and the three taking turn to kiss each other at the kitchen stove. Now, just how probable that scenario can be even if I was born an American or an European? Largely shot in portrait [...]
