It’s all about show business.

The Unfulfilled Love

As far as I can remember, Vicky Cristina Barcelona is the third Woody Allen film that I have watched. It’s just very Woody Allen. A story about relationship being told in the most straight forward way with Scarlett Johansson in the cast. There is nothing I really want to discuss but only [...]

Just Watched: Mama Mia!

This is my second time watching Mama Mia! - first the musical, and second time, the movie.
What is good about this movie is that it is definitely a no-brainer and not heart-wrenching. (I am starting to understand why comedies can be such a hit because after a week worth of hard work, you seriously [...]

Just Watched: The Dark Knight

For the record, The Dark Knight is NOT a bad movie.
I definitely went to watch it because it’s Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale again. I loved Batman Begins and I loved The Prestige. So theoretically it’s almost guarantee that I should not be disappointed by this combo however, I was definitely disappointed this [...]

Stonehenge and Sex and the City: the Movie

We went to Stonehenge today! I was so looking forward to it when Cybele told me it’s just near by in Salibury as I, weirdly, always have the wrong perception that it is far far away in Scotland!
We joined a local tour which departed in Bath and later for three hours including transport. (FYI, [...]

Just Watched: Made of Hono(u)r

Sorry, I just can’t help it - honour looks weird without a ‘u’.
Okay, so I watched Made of Honour because Patrick Dempsey is in it. But I think I am growing out of the whole chick flick phase, possibly because of the overdose of Grey’s Anatomy. The whole thing is just too fairy [...]

After Nodame Cantabile Specials…

I finally am done with the series - not that I am glad that it is over. But I was sooo pleased when I was able to find an avi version of the specials with Chinese subtitles!
I am certainly not very satisfy the dominance of Chiaki in the show but, I have a life, [...]

My Favourite TV Characters

Although I have watched literally hundreds of Hong Kong TV series (you would too after living in Hong Kong for 18 years), I couldn’t think of one single fvourite TV character from Hong Kong TV shows - probably because Hong Kong TV shows only last for one or two months therefore the characters are always [...]

Just Watched: Miss Saigon

MISS SAIGON
Finally marked my first musical experience in Melbourne last evening @ Her Majesty Theatre:

was kinda weird that while the character Chris is suppose to be an American, the performer has an utterly Australian accent.
well, supposedly Kim is a Vietnamese girl but the performer has a perfect American accent - you can’t help it [...]

I’ve only watched 27 films, I guess I have a life?

SUPPOSEDLY if you’ve seen over 85 films, you have no life. Mark the ones you’ve seen. There are 239 films on this list. Copy this list, go to your own facebook account, paste this as a note. Then, put x’s next to the films you’ve seen, add them up, change the header adding your number, [...]

Just watched: Music and Lyrics

Music and Lyrics
Starring: Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore
Man, I haven’t laughed so hard so much in 90 minutes since sliced bread! I practically started laughing hysterically since the music video of Pop! Goes My Heart (Warning: Believe me, you do NOT want to click on the link if you intend to watch the movie [...]
