Went to Johor Bahru with 2 friends today and after a bit of window shopping, we decided to watch a movie! Needless to say, movies in Malaysia is a lot cheaper than in Singapore. Even with the popcorn combos that we purchased, it came up to only RM74 for 3 of us and I had...
The Thing About Gender and Sexuality – Questions The Danish Girl Brought Out
I treated Ming to a screening of “The Danish Girl” and the movie was his choice. I wasn’t surprised that the topic was about transgender and the film tells the remarkable story of Einer/Lili Wegener (played by Eddie Redmayne), the first transgender person to undergo reassignment surgery. The movie is based on a fictitious book...
Kind of Cross with “The Crossing”
I went to watch “The Crossing” with Ming today despite not knowing much about the storyline/plot because of the following reasons:1. It’s a John Woo film2. Takeshi Kaneshiro I found it also mildly interesting that the cast is so diverse, with Song Hye Kyo in it together with other big weights such as Zhang Ziyi,...
Review of Transformers 4: Age of Extinction
The Cathay had Bumblebee and Optimus Prime displayed so of course, I had to take photos of them and a selfie too! Ming and I went to watch Transformers: Age of Extinction and I know that there are 2 camps on this movie – those who love it and those who hate it. Reasons why...
Movie Review – Vampire Academy
I was lucky enough to win a pair of tickets to watch “Vampire Academy” which is based on the series of books of the same title by Richelle Mead. I had previously watched the trailers and already thought that it looked like a fun movie to watch, especially when you watch it with your girlfriends....

I have read the book (only this particular one) and was extra excited because Godfrey...
Movie Review – Elysium
Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sci-Fi action flick…quite a no-brainer as to why I watched this movie in the first place. In fact, I felt more compelled to watch this than ‘Pacific Rim’, although both are supposed to be on par in terms of visual effects. So, I walked into the theatre only knowing the gist...
Movie Review – Red 2
Went to watch ‘Red 2’ after seeing the trailer before watching ‘Now You See Me’. Just found the trailer hilarious and I was watching it mainly for John Malkovich and to oogle at Lee Byung Hun’s bod. *Huge grin* Unbeknownst to me, ‘Red 2’ is the sequel to ‘Red’ which is from a comic of...
‘Now You See Me’ is an AWESOME film
I seldom give films high praise but ‘Now You See Me’ deserves 2 thumbs up/ 5 popcorns out of 10/ whatever scale you want to use! This movie is not as widely publicised or marketed as other films, which is a shame considering that the cast is rather star studded and the acting was superb....
