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 [...]

We Celebrated Christmas Eve the Twilight Way

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 [...]

Forgetting Sarah Marshall – So Real That I Almost Cried Watching
September 22nd, 2008 6 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 [...]

Cyborg She (僕の彼女はサイボーグ) – How Many Times Can You Alter Your Past?
August 24th, 2008 21 Comments
I really love this Japanese film. I am so feeling her heart – an expression I learn from the film to describe a strong affection in a cyborg-human relationship: I feel your heart! While the Americans are remaking the Korean success “My Sassy Girl”, the director of the aforementioned movie, Kwak Jae-yong, has created “Cyborg She”. Let’s [...]
