Movie review – Surrogates

When I first saw the trailers, I thought that poor Bruce Willis has been stuck into the action-thriller genre. Ah well…do what you do best, right? I didn’t really read the synopsis of this movie before going into the theatre but I knew that it was about Surrogates, which are robots that humans control through...

Wolverine Rocks!

Went to watch “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” last night with LF, YY, Sing, Chowchow, Sing’s bro, Alex and his gf. I’m sure I do not need to give you the synopsis of this movie because the title says it all! Hugh Jackman reprises his role of Wolverine and seriously, nobody can do it better than him....

Gran Torino

Just came home from watching “Gran Torino” by Clint Eastwood and now I realise why impressions of Clint Eastwood often involve snarls. Eastwood really snarls a lot and his character says things as it is. How was the movie? I give it both thumbs up!! I went into the theatre without knowing squilsh about it...

Thursday Day out!

Met Mel Li today to get jewellery stuff (*gasp* I spent another $35 on jewellery bits and I still need to get more stuff), watched a “He’s just not that into you” and went to Morton’s Bar for free beef sandwiches and their yummy chocolate mortini! I believe that this is my 2nd time blogging...

Slumdog Millionaire

Went to watch “Slumdog Millionaire” yesterday with my parents and I must say that it deserves a lot of the Oscar nominations! It is a heartwarming tale of a slumdog who goes through several trials simply due to being a Muslim slumdog in India struggling to survive and get his true love. The movie also...

Triple Movie Reviews

Yes…I’ve done it. I’m tardy with my blog. Well…the thing is that I’ve been down with the cold AGAIN, which was damn annoying. Besides that, I guess I have a lot to say but I’ve kinda forgotten? Oops. By the way, I’ve watched “Red Cliff”, “Hellboy 2” and “Batman – the Dark Knight”. My comments...
