I came across this trailer the other day when the gang and I watched Sherlock Holmes on Christmas Eve, which is an amazing movie by the way. Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. were uh-ma-zingly good! Back to the trailer, so, you know how I always behave and along with Jess and JoJo. When we saw the trailer, we're like: Ok, that guy is Hot. :)
But after that, the apparently hot guy totally just disappear from my mind. Until, I went and watch Avatar with my family, which also is another great movie. The trailer played again and this time, it got me really wondering what is it about.
So, I did research. LOL. The things I would do for a hot guy. :)
Turn out, the movie is like Harry Potter, sort of, since it's of a series. The Percy Jackson and the Olympians or something. I dug a little bit more and voila, I found the e-book. I read the first book, Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief (which is also the movie coming out in February 2010). I think it was kinda cool, though of course, it's targeted for a younger audience.
Fine, it's for kids. But it's really read-worthy!
This is a story about the Greek Gods. You know, Athena, Zeus, Poseidon, Hades etc. And it's about how they love to wander off to the mortal world and lay their seeds around. :) Thus, producing demigods: half human + half God.
I don't really know how to explain anymore other than, it's really nice. Not your usual "I love you and I'll be a vampire for you" kinda story *hint hint*
Ok: Here's the trailer that started it all.
*Notice that it's stated there: Yancy Academy* *And that the actor is really cute*
Random note: Is it me, or do you somehow read Peter Jackson instead of Percy? I swear, every time, I read it as Peter, and then I have to correct myself.
Title meant: Just came back from a movie with my brother.
Yes, it's the National/Independence Day and we celebrated it with watching a very violent movie.
We watched District 9. I don't usually watch all these aliens/gory/fighting type of movie because, well, I don't really enjoy seeing people get torn into pieces or blasted or just simply get killed unnecessarily.
Don't know what came over me, but I watched the freaking movie.
It was Ok, better than Transformers 2, in my opinion. Because this one at least had a better storyline (my opinion, you don't have to agree with me). And also because in this one, I can actually differentiate which is the good guy and which is the bad. The decepticons and whatever the side that Bumblebee is on is called is really hard to tell apart (for me).
Anyway, back to District 9. It was decent in the sense of the storyline. The movie? Not so decent because of all the disgusting killing inside. And it is very British, with how all the actors said "What the fuck?" At least, I think it is British.
It's worth a watch if you're into those alien/killing/fighting/gory kind of movie.
And if you're planning to watch this movie, can you do me a favor?
Help me count the number of times "fuck" is used in this movie... Seriously, it's used like every other minute.
Today was officially the first day of the Fall '09 semester and I must say that it was very unproductive. Why? Because my lecturer didn't turn up for class today, due to some reason. So, today's lesson can be counted as crap cause we just went in, sat for approximately 30 minutes, sign attendance, and then ciao!
And due to the fact that we have nothing to do to pass the time, we decided to go watch a movie. Yes, we watched UP!
The movie was good, just ignore the logic a little bit since, you know, you couldn't really fly your house even with thousands of helium gas balloons. Can you?
Anyway, the movie was quite touching in several parts. And quite 'kan chiong' also. Not forgetting also the funniness of the movie. Gawd! It's like you can't stop laughing. Don't underestimate the old guy with no facial expression (which is so cute that Cynthia wanted to slap him). Combine the old man and a small boy with a wild weird bird and a talking dog, the entertainment is endless.
If you're looking for a movie to help you relax and enjoy without straining your eyes (Transformers) or using your brain too much, this is the pick!
Point! Squirrel!
Btw, according to a reliable source (Dr. Steven), ADP results should be released tomorrow around noon. But if it didn't, don't blame me, I got it from the source. :)
Went for a date with my mommy again. We watched the Ghost of Girlfriends Past (and Present and Future). Starring: Matthew Mc-something (dunno how to spell his name and lazy to go find out) and Jennifer Garner.
It was a nice movie. Quite funny and touching as well. Compare to The Proposal, I think this movie makes more sense because how can two people fall in love in merely three days (The Proposal)?
The storyline is not bad. And some of the characters were portrayed quite successfully.
There this character, which supposed to be Connor (Matthew Mc-something)'s first "sex-partner", she is so freaking funny. Like, she totally brings the mood up and crack the audience.
Also, there is Paulie's (Connor's brother) fiance, Sandra a.k.a. the Bridzella! LOL, her freak-out moment is sooo funny. The actress acted well.
One thing I found annoying, about the movie, is the way Matthew Mc-something talk. I dunno lar, maybe it's his true way of speaking or maybe it's what the director wants, but he talk kind of in a drawl... you know, like wanting it to be sexy, but just end up being annoying? Yeah.
But, all that is just my personal opinion. No hard feelings.
Another thing I found annoying, not about the movie, is the couple that was seated next to me. Ugh. Walao.
1. Before the movie start, they're like,
BF: You wear lar (the jacket), later you cold. GF: No lar, you wear lar.
They keep pushing it to one another and it carried out throughout the preview and sometimes during the movie. =.=" I so wanted to say, "JUST FREAKING WEAR IT ALREADY!" but of course, I didn't.
2. During the movie, I dunno whether the girl is pretending or she's plain idiotic, she keeps asking Qs! Like, "What is he doing?", "Why she do that?" *eyes rolling* I think the movie is not so complicated for anyone to ask about what's happening. It was quite to the point. =.="
Ok, rant's over. Yeah. so, the conclusion is: The movie is not bad. You should watch it if you haven't watch it. (But I think today's the last day)
I can officially announce that movies involving robots, fighting and bombing does not interest me. Really. I've been hearing good reviews for Transformers 2 so much that I decided to give it a try, despite by lack of interest in the whole theme of the movie. My conclusion: Not my cup of tea.
I think that Transformers 1 is better than its sequel. Why? Well, the plot in the first movie actually make sense and the flow of events is great. There isn't a scene that is unnecessary.
The plot for the sequel is a little weird. Sorry if I offended anyone, but this is what i think. I mean, maybe it's me but the whole feel of the movie just ain't right. And there's a lot of extra scenes that is not really necessary for the movie. I think those scenes are added just to show more of Meaghan Fox. I have to admit, she's really pretty (or hot, as what the guys called her). Some scenes are just plain waste of time, like Sam's Mom's scene. Really. Ok, it might be a little funny, but definitely not screen-worthy.
At least I didn't fell asleep watching the first one. Unfortunately, I did fell asleep yesterday in the cinema.
Ok, so today I went and watched "17 Again" with my friends. (After a whole long process of signing a contract with Jessica Lim Yu Hui!!!)
Let me just tell you this, ZAC EFRON is... WOW. W. O. W. Seriously. I mean, I know that his acting in HSM is so-so, but in this, his acting skills in considerably well. Really. I'm honestly telling the truth here, not as a fan (though he is HOT!), but as a normal person who doesn't faint at the sight of him. (nearly fainted!!!)
Look at him!!!
OMG!
Ok. Enough with Zac Efron. There's another guy in "17 Again" that I think is quite cute and good-looking (JESS, he IS, ok?!) His name is Sterling Knight and he is a new star for Disney.
See the guy at the right? That's Sterling. Not cute? Hmm... How about the next one?
No? How about the next one then?
Still no?
Too bad then, I think he's cute and good-looking. Can you believe he's actually 20?
Basically, today is just about sharing these two new guys that almost make me faint today. NEARLY fainted. =)
just watched Night at the Museum 2: The Batttle of the Smithsonian with my family today.
and like Jason Tham said, it was awesome. really. Ben Stiller still got it. and so did all the other characters.
my favorite museum exhibits would be Jedediahand Octavius.
seriously, both of them are really cracking me up in the previous movie, and they didn't disappoint in this one either. especially Octavius in the "i ride the SQUIRREL" scene. one word. hilarious.
Hank Azaria acts as the villain in this movie: Kah Mun Rah.
he talks with a little lisp i think, but seriously, he's really funny. my brother and i laughed super hard because of him. things to look out for from Kah Mun Rah if you were to watch the movie: 1. i am back!!! 2. don cross the line. 3. bird language. you might not know what i'm talking about now, but you will after you watch the movie.
also, since i am Jonafied again, i shall introduce you guys to 3 characters in the movie that you might overlook. who i am talking about? well, i am talking about the 3 cute little cherubs. singing cherubs.
yes. they are the Jonas Brothers! =) if you look closely, the cherubs seriously looked like them. and they sang one of their song, Lovebug, in the movie. besides that, a new song from their new album, Lines, Vines and Trying Times, is also featured in the movie and during the credits. look out for that!!!
the movie is excellent. i don know what you guys think about this movie, but to me, it's really chunted.
though i have no idea what they are talking about most of the time (involving art works, Christian history and buildings), but i find the story line very interesting and captivating.
throughout the movie, i can also see the various incredible buildings and sceneries of Vatican and maybe Rome? i'm not so sure about the place but really... u have to watch the movie and see for yourself the buildings, statues and sceneries.
really awesome.
the next thing that i wanna do: to read the book!!!
i was really upset about my skills and strats paper, so when i reached home, i just online and watched several videos. the one that i come to notice and got me real excited is the new harry potter movie trailer. whoah, it's awesome, seriously. at first, i kinda doubt that they are going to satisfy the fans, due to the disappointment i have from the last movie.
but, after watching the trailer, i still have goosebumps, i kinda think that "hmm, this might be the est Harry Potter movie... if, the movie is as good as the trailer,"
this is a tagline that is so famous, you know which movie it's from one it is mentioned. i am proud to be the one in the category that says, "Duh? It's from Titanic,"
unfortunately, I had never, EVER watched the movie before. Seriously. I'm not kidding. 12 years. The movie had been around for 12 years and I had never watched it before. sure, i got a glimpse of it here and there, but never the full movie.
tonight, though, i FINALLY had gotten the chance to watch it. thanks to my beloved friend, VICTOR SIEW! i love you, don worry, i promise i wont glare at you for a whole week. not that you will read this blog so, whatever, i will still glare at you.
anyway, back to topic. i finally watched the movie and let me tell you, i CRIED like NERAKA at the end. my eyes now all puffy and read.
i used to laugh at my mommy because she cried easily when she watched a movie and she said she was hugging a tissue box when she was watching Titanic. I LAUGHED at her then. now, SHE laughed AT ME!
i was watching and crying when she came into my room and she looked at me for a second. then, at the screen. then back at me. THEN, she freaking laughed!
whatever la, since i laughed at her before so, i figured that it's only fair that she laughed at me. it's all good. btw, i'm gonna head on to fanfiction there and check out stories in TITANIC! jack is my new dream man!
There's this part where Katherine looked so much like Taylor Swift (Victor, go check it out!)
The movie was good, just ignore the logic a little bit since, you know, you couldn't really fly your house even with thousands of helium gas balloons. Can you?
A little thing that didn't really make sense is... how could someone fall in love in three days?
No? How about the next one then?
Still no?
seriously, both of them are really cracking me up in the previous movie, and they didn't disappoint in this one either. especially Octavius in the "i ride the SQUIRREL" scene. one word. hilarious.
he talks with a little lisp i think, but seriously, he's really funny. my brother and i laughed super hard because of him. things to look out for from Kah Mun Rah if you were to watch the movie:
