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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

So This is Sex and the City (A Guy’s Perspective)
June 2nd, 2008 24 Comments
Believe me, a hundred and one plans have flown over my head on how not to get myself into “Sex and the City”. In a last-ditch attempt, I asked Cynthia in all feebleness, “Shall we check out the reviews on this movie just in case?” Her response was, “It’s Sex and the City.” Cool as a [...]

Definitely Maybe – There Is A Girl Whom I Really Like!
April 14th, 2008 5 Comments
I often marvel at how Western film titles are being translated in Chinese for the Hong Kong market (which can be different from the China market). Take “Definitely Maybe” as an example. It is translated into “愛情三選一” that loosely means “Choose One from Three in the Name of Love”. OK, the Chinese title is a [...]

The Other Boleyn Girl – How Accurate I Wonder
April 7th, 2008 8 Comments
Knowing that I was about to recover from my flu, Cynthia tapped onto the Sunday morning paper and said, “I want to watch number 1, 2, and 3.” “What’s number 1?” I asked. She said something and I replied, “Huh? What boleh girl?” (‘Boleh’ in Malay means ‘can’, which ironically is not too far from [...]

27 Dresses – Girls Would Love This
January 26th, 2008 12 Comments
If you have just started dating a girl not for long, bringing her to watch “27 Dresses” would probably up your rating for a good few notches. She may even remember this chick flick as the movie for the both of you. So you better prepare to write down the date and place and what she wears for [...]

Sugar And Spice – My Heart Bled A Hundred Times
November 21st, 2007 2 Comments
Life is fragile. One moment you are up in the sky, hopping from cloud to cloud. Everything looks bright. You love the caress of the wind on your face. Another moment, everything you stand onto crumble into pieces. What you believe in, what you live for … and you ask yourself: Who am I? What [...]

No Reservations – Zeta-Jones Oh Zeta-Jones
September 12th, 2007 2 Comments
Dear friends. Sorry for the infrequent updates lately and infrequent visit to your sites. Life has been busy lately. Arrgghh! Good news, I have finally found time to watch “No Reservation” – quite possibly Catherine Zeta-Jones’s finest acting (not saying it is an Oscar wining performance). I have always enjoyed watching Catherine Zeta-Jones on screen. [...]
