Movie review: The Hunger Games

Posted on by

Hello lovelies!

You might have already realize what this entry is gonna be about, so yeah, a movie review on The Hunger Games! :D

If you realized I haven’t been blogging about movie previews for eons! Thats because I watch much lesser movies these days, and at the same time, I have lesser time to blog as well. Having said that, shame on me! :( I missed so many good movies I wanted to catch so badly. Well..

So, why did I decide to blog about the hunger games?

Firstly, I honestly had 0 idea about what “the hunger games” was going to be about. I didn’t watch the trailer, lest say read the story books. So, I went in the theaters with minimal (reallllly minimal) information about it. And thats because I asked my friend, C, but she refused to tell me too much too in to leave me in suspense. Heh!

Secondly, everyone was so hyped out about it. It felt like Harry Potter #2, because on twitter, on facebook, I see my lots of friends anticipating the movie.

Lastly, my 2-cents-worth on whether you should catch the movie or not, if you haven’t. And before I continue, my answer is YES! YOU SHOULD! :)

There is always two extreme sides to such things, I think we call it preference. I have friends who loved the movie to bits, while some who read the books felt it was too short, which is always the case since movies can only last THAT long. ANDDD, some who found it over-rated.

I would say I love the movie!

In my humble opinion, I found the movie really really interesting. Its been awhile that I find myself awake throughout a movie, and The Hunger Games just contributed to my rare-list-of-movies-I-didn’t-fall-asleep-at-all. 

Since I didn’t read the book at all, I didn’t know what the hunger games was about, so I was expecting a game that made people starve.. which wasn’t really the case actually. It was far more captivating than that! And I loved it! :)) The sisterly love almost made me tear too. Gahhhhhh, I want a sister!

One thing I felt that was a tad disappointing was the filming. The initial part of the movie was really shaky, and if the shakiness were to continue for a longer time, I think I would be nauseous. Especially because my friends and I were seated towards the front part of the theaters and we already have to lean slightly backwards to get a better view.

Anyway I’m so glad I caught the movie. Was contemplating between THE HUNGER GAMES or STUDYING. But well, it was well-worth it! ;)

Gotta go back to catch the books now!

pretty C & I :D

I caught the movie w/ my JB friends. <3 Thank you friends! And special thanks to C for always trying to compromise the meet ups to suit me HEHE. <3

P.S. I just watched Wicked the Musical yesterday!!!! I think I’ll blog about it! ^_^

Rapunzel: A Tangled Tale – Movie Review!

Posted on by

Hello people!! :D

Its been awhile (okay, just a week) since I went to the theatres, and this time, I caught Rapunzel with Momsie and my aunt yesterday (Friday)!

I absolutely LOVEEEEEEEEEEE little Rapunzel!! But I couldn’t find pictures of her when she was young online. Super cute with huge watery eyes!

& Of course, how I wish I had Rapunzel’s ultra long and nice blond hair!! Keeps reminding me how chui and lousy my hair is.

I’d rate the movie 3/5, because there were some parts they just sang through the scenes. I’m not a really musical person in this sense.. But on the overall, a pleasant cartoon, I’d say! Momsie and aunt loves it though! :)))

 

Reviews for Narnia next! :DDDDD~

$7.50 for two tickets! :DDD! @ GV Vivocity!

Hello Stranger is a Thai romance-comedy!

(I seriously had no idea they conversed in Thai and we had to read the subtitles!)

BUT. No regrets!!! It was a really enjoyable movie! With the really humorous storyline injected with a tinge of romance, I’d say it was good.  IMHO, I would give it a 4/5! ;)

It was not all funny, parts of the movie were really saddening, especially the ending. F A T E. Nonetheless, it was still bitter sweet at the end. You gotta catch it to know!

Had a quick lunch before we went back to the interchange to catch 963 back to school!

Bruce Lee, my brother – Movie Review

Posted on by

HELLO GUYS! <3

Muahaha I’m back! Liberation never felt sweeter. I swear this is the worst exam I ever had. Hope it gets better ;)

Anyway! Headed to town(!!!!) with my girls after our paper & we caught a movie together! :D

Yes, its non-other than the movie, Bruce Lee, my brother!

Bruce Lee My Brother Poster

It was basically a biopic of Bruce Lee’s life before he became a legend, based on the memoir written by his younger brother.

Honestly, I kind of like the movie!! (On the contrary, one of my girls said it was a lil draggy) It was a pretty long one though, 2h 9mins. I guess he’s one interesting person we would love to find out about. Since the story is based on the memoir, I have no idea how to describe the movie!! So if y’all love Bruce Lee’s movies, its another you shouldn’t miss! ;) It kinds of gives us a whole big picture of this man’s life. From his birth till the time he turned really famous. Shall not be a spoiler. Catch it okay!

I’d rate the movie a 4/5! Cos I really like it!!

& I didn’t fall asleep at all! :)))

I really like the main lead who portrayed as Bruce Lee. HE VERY HANDSUMMM LEY. (Then again, probably only to me. My girls don’t agree.)

Legend of the Fist: Return of Chen Zhen Movie Review!!!

Posted on by

Hello everybody! :]

I know I haven’t been updating this space for a bit. But school work’s been keeping me way too occupied. Much more than I’d like to be. Grrr~

Anyway, Thanks to Omy.sg and Shaw Organisations, I got the privilege of catching the Gala Premiere of Legend of the Fist: Return of Chen Zhen! :)))

& I brought RuoYan along!

We met up a little while before the movie time to have dinner!

We decided on going to Wheelock because it was just opposite The Shaw House. Easy to get over there! Walked around and finally decided to have our early dinner @ The Pasta Shop by Sakae! There wasn’t a single soul inside when we decided to step in. Lol!

This was what I ordered:

Spicy Soft Shell Crab Pasta! It was a little spicy for me. :/ I’ really can’t take spicy food!

IMG_2060

& darling ordered Carbonara with Bacon and egg! She said its not bad!

 

IMG_2061

Hehehehe. Those were our starters! Edamame and Potato Salad (half seen)! The potato salad was not bad too!

 

As I was itching for some sweet treats and Big O cafe (?) happened to have some afternoon tea promo until 6pm, we had a little rest at the pasta shop before hopping over to Big O for a piece of cake! :D

 IMG_2065

We shared this cute little heart shape cake! Mousse based with a little sponge in between! :)

While waiting for the movie… YES, sad uni life!!! We had to make use of the time to MUG!!! D:

 

& Finally, it was near the time for the movie and we walked over to Lido!

Excited I was as I waited for the start of the movie. DONNIE YEN!  ♥

 

IMG_2068

Thank you Omy & Shaw! It was my first time catching a movie at Lido too! LOL!

IMG_2071

Before the movie started! Me & RY!

The theatre was humongous!!!! Serious!

Anyway. If you followed me on Twitter, you’d have known I absolutely enjoyed this movie!! Donnie Yen never failed to amaze me! ♥♥♥

The story was based on the China war times in the olden days.. & when the Japanese took over China. It was quite touching, in some of the parts! I shan’t disclose too much about the movie because YOU GUYS REALLY SHOULD CATCH IT! :D Its gonna be shown in the theatres TOMORROW ONWARDS!!!

&.&.&. Donnie Yen has an ULTRA GOOD BOD!!!♥ I swear. You gotta catch it yourself, seriously! ;) *Drools*

Haha. The only pity was I had the Ip Man feeling in Chen Zhen. It felt like I was watching another Ip Man sequel, but of course, NAHHH. They are all based on different stories. Its just that the fighting scenes brings me back to think of Ip Man! Teeheee.

Okay, enough said. I hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did! :D

(Opps, and I think there’s going to be a sequel for this movie too!)

*editted*

Just casually recalled something I heard over the TV about Donnie Yen when they were interviewing him and the team about the new show.

Shu Qi who was starring in the movie together with him said he’s a perfect man. In the sense that, he has very good control over what he eats (as an actor this is very important, I’m sure you agree), then every morning he’d wake up very early (5am or something?) to train his martial art skills, etc, AND he’s a very sweet husband to his wife.

So he actually inspired Shu Qi a fair bit especially on the control diet part.

WAHHHH. WHERE TO FIND?
