Movies, movies, movies..

Watching movies has been my favourite past time.. I used to think watching movies alone is quite pathetic.. a lot of ppl also disapprove that and they never do that.. they rather watch the movies at home.. either download or dvd.. but now I actually don't mind watching alone becos coordination with friends is not required and no need to wait for friends to be free.. and by the time they are free.. the movies will have stopped showing.. so watching alone is actually not troublesome at all and I always watch it impromptu.. and rush to the cinema just on time to buy a tix to watch.. since you can't talk to any one during the movie, watching with somebody is not really required.. but of course I still prefer to watch with somebody.. it's not so sad lah..

more than 2 weeks ago I watched mama mia.. it is a interesting movie with all the familiar ABBA songs and good acting by Meryl Streep, my favourite actress and the dynamite sisters.. Meryl Streep not only can act well.. she can also sing and dance well.. who can be as well rounded as her.. ppl have been so used her seriousness but she is so cheerful in this light hearted movie which is a different side of her..

this movie is not boring.. but I actually find it quite retro and cheesy for the way the characters behave and speak.. I feel the senior citizens should watch this.. haha.. they will learn to live their lives to the fullest and no regrets.. most of the main characters of the movies are so old.. this movie will make you want to get its soundtrack or ABBA album as the songs are so catchy.. but I must say that Pierce Brosnan's singing is quite weird and he don't really can sing yah.. but a good effort from him.. haha..

This week I have watched painted skin.. thinking there is so many stars casted in this movie should be quite worth it to watch but I must say that this movie is just average.. I thought it will be quite scary as there are demons in this story.. but it is not at all.. just a normal story that can just be shown on tv.. now tv drama also have visual effects yah.. this movie emphasizes love.. love that is so strong that devils can't take advantage of it at all.. it is a simple story and a lot of scary details in the movie are not shown but only told by mouths.. so the scariness is not there.. not much of a climax.. and the ending is just a normal happy ever after..

I also watched vicky cristina barcelona.. it is a movie funded by spain.. so to encourage ppl to travel to spain for its beautiful scenery and old monuments.. but this is quite a "crazy movie" which is what my friend has put it.. becos of the crazy way that they characters in this movie handle love relationships.. there are suggestion of threesome to cure loneliness, bisexual relationship to fill up the missing puzzle in a marriage of 2 "crazy" artists, a normal woman who thought she will want a normal husband and normal marriage but actually don't like it to be too normal and is tempted and attracted by a not so normal artist and another woman who is so unsure what she wants in life and don't mind trying out things to know what she really don't want.. Are these what really happening in Barcelona? these may be quite surprising and funny to ppl in our conservative society... but not impossible to happen anywhere.. but is it a good potrayal of the life in Barcelona?

This movie started quite slow but many unexpected twists started to appear that you will not be bored.. Vicky and Cristina are back to their normal lives as they returned to America after experiencing the "exciting " trip in Barcelona.. They end where they began.. we the audience also have the same feeling when the movie ended..
