On Eagles' Wings

Would you believe it? MBO Cinemas over in Terminal Two (now Mydin) is showing This Means War! I'd been whining to watch that movie ever since I saw the trailer. And I had thought that I might just have to let the boyfie off easy for not keeping his promise to watch it with me, cos it is supposed to be released only on the 23rd of February when we both start term. But who knew! The boyfie called yesterday and told me it was showing. First showtime was at 12.00pm--was I up for it? Pfft.  HELL YEAHHHHHHHHH~ The movie was a great watch! Even though I had gotten a wee bit wary when a friend had said it had "vulgar jokes and crude humour". Don't get me wrong, I'm every bit as "grown up" as the rest, and I can take a crude joke. It's just a question of....preference. Let's just say it's not my favourite  kinda movie. (There are many movies that I feel would be better without  the crude jokes. It's cheap humour. IMO la ) Turns out, the ...

I only have one word to describe this movie: SUCKY. (Yes, in caps.) Seriously? Yes, seriously. SUCKY. Save your money and  DO NOT WATCH . Since today was a public holiday, one of those precious days when my dad doesn't have to go to school, he must have been in a good mood. Said he wanted to take the whole family to go watch a movie, and he was interested in Haywire . Said he'd read a good review of it in the newspaper. My brother and I, though, were skeptical. The newspaper had also  given 50/50 a good review and we'd both agreed, after watching said movie, that newspaper reviews were not  to be trusted. We just don't have the same movie tastes. However, since dad was treating, and it was his  day off, I thought, Fine, let's watch what he wants to watch,  and checked out the showtimes with a weird feeling in my gut. And my gut was right. >.< The story line didn't even seem that promising. An ex-Special Forces Operative that got s...

The Viral Factor turned out to be......better than expected :) I never really watch Chinese movies, what more in the cinema. But the boyfie is a fan of Jay Chou, and they were showing it with subtitles; so I figured, what the heck. Bought tickets for the earliest show and sat down comfortably in the cinema hall with an arsenal of snacks and drinks. (The BF hadn't really had breakfast then, and sausages are kinda like breakfast food, aren't they?) I was so happily licking the mashed potato-gravy off the spoon that I completely forgot what movie I was watching for about a few seconds when the first of the pre-movie ads came on. =.= Anyway, the beginning of the movie seemed intriguing, but somehow gave me a bad feeling--you know, the someone-is-going-to-die-by-the-end-of-this-movie feel. >.< International Security Affairs agent Jon/Fei (Jay Chou) miraculously survives a shot to the head--one that would eventually leave him completely paralyzed after being betray...

I have to tell you. The first two movies of the Twilight saga was less than satisfactory. The first movie was a let-down. The second was only  slightly  better than the first for me (only because Jacob officially transformed into a werewolf and there was more  to watch on-screen, if you get what I mean).  (Plus, there were more of those exciting fighting scenes, which were lacking in the first movie.) Hence, you would understand when I wasn't exactly jumping up and down for the third installment of the series. But when Sam asked me out to watch it with a couple of his friends who were Twihards, I relented. Only so I could get out of the house and......just get out of the house. :) Where else would we go to watch it but our favourite haunt at Jusco, Seremban 2? :P After devouring a nice, creamy, cold Oreo McFlurry (I practically lived for these back in Bangi -- and I'll be going back there in less than 24 hours >.<) and chatti...

You must be wondering what time interval that is. haha. Well, I watched 6 episodes (3 each) of Prison Break and One Tree Hill back-to-back in one sitting - a full five and a half hours. I went back for the weekend. What do you expect?? How come? you ask? Every week when I do not go back, my brother records all my favourite shows for me with our VCR (yes, we still have one. It must be worth millions now in its antiquity). He would usually record Gilmore Girls (Saturdays, 10.30pm 8TV), One Tree Hill (Sundays, 10.30pm 8TV), Prison Break (Mondays, 10.30pm 8TV) , Ugly Betty (Tuesdays, 9.30pm 8TV) and Desperate Housewives (Tuesdays, 10.30pm 8TV) for me so I can come back during the weekend, and sit back and enjoy my faves. Can you see why I LOVE 8TV?????!!!!! heeee *beams* So, since I haven't gone back for 3 weeks already, he actually ran out of tape. Duh. I mean, there's 5 different TV series, and 3 weeks worth of episodes. Do the math. 5 X 3 X...
