Every times after watched romantic drama movie, I was wondering, is there any good man in the real life just as in the movie? Finally, this movie gave me the answer, YES! because, the story was based on a true story.

The Vow is based on the actual relationship of Kim and Krickitt Carpenter, who wrote a book about their marriage, also known as The Vow. Ten weeks after their wedding on 18 September 1993, the couple was in an automobile accident in which Krickitt suffered brain trauma, which erased memories of her romance with Kim as well as their recent marriage. Kim, however, was still madly in love with his wife, although his wife viewed him as a stranger after the accident. However, according to the couple, their faith in Jesus and their wedding vows before God kept them together.

And Channing Tatum is really adorable in this movie. An athletic, handsome, and charming guy with a huge heart. I enjoyed my time watching him in this movie :p

The Hunger Games (2012)

Director	:	Gary Ross
Genre	:	Action / Drama / Science Fiction
Release Date	:	22 Mar 2012
Runtime	:	150 minutes

Sypnosis:
Based on the Suzanne Collins novel of the same name. In a not-too-distant future, North America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 13 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss' young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district's female rep, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), the son of the town baker who seems to have all the fighting skills of a lump of bread dough, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives. ~ Maxis Movies

My comment? The movie was good, a bit boring at first, maybe because Katniss was way too cool. LOL. I guess I'm just not in to Heroine-kind-a-movie.

And, I thought I saw Lady Gaga in the movie. =P
Curious? Find out yourself! :))

The Devil Inside (2012)

Thank you so much to NuffnangMy and Churp Churp for the invitation to this movie screening. As most of the people expected, I thought this movie would be like Exorcist or something like that. Did a little research on google, and many wrote bad review bout this movie.


My comment: for a person with hypoglycemia / low blood sugar like me, don't watch it! You'll feel dizzy and wanna puke. It's not sarcasm but literally. I felt like playing roller coaster for about 1.5hours due to the poor cameraman's technique. And the ending.. I remember a guy behind me spontaneously shouted "what the f**k!".

Here's the synopsis:
In Italy, a woman becomes involved in a series of unauthorized exorcisms during her mission to discover what happened to her mother, who allegedly murdered three people during her own exorcism.

If you really want to watch movie about exorcism, may I suggest you better find the old collection of Exorcist movie, or watch TV series, Supernatural. They are much more better, I guarantee.

Thanks once again to Nuffnang and Churp Churp :)

Smile ~ Charlie Chaplin

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
Youll see the sun come shining through, for you 

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying? 
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
if you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying? 
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
if you just smile


~ Nat King Cole 


"Whenever I'm in the lowest time of my life, in sadness and pain, this song reminds me to always SMILE."

Special thanks to Churp Churp for the tickets. It's been a long time since I met other bloggers in a movie. When my friend and I saw the trailer of the movie, we had two different comment. 


Reco Wong: "the movie must be a boring one."


Me: "Wow! George Clooney! A must to watch movie!" 


Guess what, never under-estimate my judgement on a movie. When I said it's good, then it's good. LOL 


Btw, I watched this movie on premiere screening, a day before it screens in Malaysia's cinemas. Not so sure why it's so late, as this is a 2011 movie production. George Clooney even won 2 Golden Globe awards. I know, he's old now, but the charm is still there. And during the movie, I was wishing that he could be my father. :p 


Watch and you'll amazed! ^^

For you who haven't married yet or planning to get married, this movie is a good reference to get to know all the things you NEED to know in preparing Chinese wedding. As for myself, I prefer the western style. Simple, and less spend. =P

The movie was hilarious. Ah Niu always can make this stupid, innocent face which I believe many girls are willing to marry him (even though he's not handsome) :)

A simple yet entertaining movie ^^

A Lousy or Lazy Blogger?

Which one describe me best? hahaha! It's been a month since I've "abandoned" my blog. But first of all, I wish you all HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! ^^

I went to few movie screenings,doggie events, and also enjoyed a nice food during the month, plus had a great Chinese New Year celebration. Was thinking to blog it one by one, but... really! It's passed and I have no mood to do it again >.<

I think I'm in both category... Lousy and Lazy. =P
