Gossip Girl Season Finale
Posted on | Tuesday, June 21, 2011 | No Comments
I couldn't have asked for a better way to patch the huge gap between Chuck and Blair than this. The spontaneous dance scene, accompanied by the ever-so-apt Rolling in the Deep by Adele. They chose the right song, with the perfect lyrics to describe every bit of their relationship.
Stolen moments of happiness and love-making, even though Chuck let Blair go in the end, but honestly, there's never been a more compatible couple on-screen such as them, in my opinion.
Being the hard-core Chuck and Blair fan that I am, I can't help but look back at the end of season 1, during Bart Bass and Lily's wedding when Chuck was giving his best man speech.
Chuck said, "In the face of true love, you don't just give up, even if the object of your affection is begging you to."
WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT HUH, CHUCK!
Then, rationality sinks in and tells me that if they got back together so quickly, there wouldn't be anything interesting to tell in the following season.
By the way, what did Charlie/Ivy steal? It looked like checks, but I'm not sure. Im just curious
I'm highly anticipating season 5 of Gossip Girl to know how more drama between them will unfold. After all, everyone's pretty sure that Blair is pregnant with Chuck's baby... One can hope, yes?

Eat Pray Love : Sit, Stare and Yawn..

"u dont need a man, Liz u need a champion.." Felipe (Javier Bardem)
I've heard a lot about this movie. I think Eat Pray Love is based on a book that was like the best seller in the New York Times for like 5 billion months or something. It's about Liz Gilbert, a woman who has just gone through a divorce with her husband and tries to overcome her depression by taking a solo soul searching journey through Italy, Bali and India to eat, pray and love.
I love what Julia Roberts has been doing lately, she has finally gotten to that stage of her career where people aren't recognizing her as America's sweetheart anymore and has gone on to perform in lesser known, more important films. If you haven't seen Duplicity, you should check it out because she was amazing in that and she was one heck of a force in Eat Pray Love.
Julia carries this movie. After the 15 minute mark, we hop from country to country in series of montages with Julia and the only reason why all this doesn't seem like a travel show is because we have Julia Robert's character that anchors us down with her character study. We feel the pain of her past, her hopeless attempt to resolve that pain by going on this journey but are still treated to her lighthearted charm.
For 1 hour 30 minutes, we go from place to place with Julia Roberts trying different food, wearing different clothes, touching exotic animals, trying spiritual stuff and amidst all that, Ryan Murphy failed to connect all these plot elements with the overall story of Eat Pray Love. I get why lots of the fans of the book disliked this movie because there was ultimately no soul to the film. Sure, it did have it's moments of charm but Eat Pray Love failed to find a balance between vacation shots and actual story development.
That being said, if anything else, Eat Pray Love is one of the most gorgeous non-CGI movies I have seen this year. The cinematographer is one heck of a guy. The empty travel show shots that take up 70% of the movie are absolutely gorgeous. It's full of colour & vibrant energy, that is pleasing to the eyes but like I said before, pretty pictures don't make a good movie.
You know, I think that Eat Pray Love would work much better as a TV series. Yeah. Make a miniseries of Julia Roberts doing all that she's doing in the film, but at least on television you have the luxury of time to accommodate all the beautiful sweeping shots of her travels and still maintain the integrity of the story peppered through the episodes.
Ultimately, Eat Pray Love is just an average movie when it could have been a true Oscar contender. If wnything, the film is only going to make an appearance in the cinematography category.
But above all, I really do must say.. The cutie James Franco is a total eye-vitamin in this movie *0*

love ballads, synchronized dancing, weird outfits, eyeliners, guys singing about a girl that they all apparently share = korean boyband.

I'm not really a big fan of korean boy bands, I mean don't get me wrong.. I'm not a hypocrite, I know that most of them are naturally good looking. but I don't really dig their music (maybe cos I don't understand a single word they're sayin) and stage acts, like with all the lipsync and hopping and jumping around the stage. Well frankly I think they're just strictly overrated, what with all the massive amount of die-hard fans that they have.
Have I mentioned about their songs? Well, they tend to use english phrases that doesn't make sense in their song lyrics. Like the last song I heard of this boyband called shiNee ( at first I thot it was a girl's group, I mean the name is SHINEE for goodness sake!! how gay-er can that get?)
I forgot the title of the song, but i remember one of lyrics involve phrases like "her whisper is the lucifer" and repetitive "loverholic robotronic".. ooowkay.. do those lyrics even have a meaning?

Resident Evil: Afterlife
Posted on | Wednesday, October 6, 2010 | No Comments
I've just watched resident evil afterlife recently. Yes, I know.. a little late, kemana aje loo?..
but hey, at least i had the chance to watch it in the cinemas. Too bad, the 3D version wasn't shown anymore.
Now, let me just get this out of the way: Resident Evil: Afterlife is a silly, silly movie. It's not nearly the horror-laden gore-fest that the first Resident Evil movie was, it's not the 'band of survivors zombie flick' that the second movie became, and it's not calculated and smart like the third movie.
And I'm not going to even try to mention the Resident Evil games, which are magnificent and genuinely terrifying (at least some of the better incarnations, like Resident Evil: 4). The simple fact is, the film franchise's heroine Alice is not in ANY of the videogames.
Resident Evil: Afterlife really just becomes a zombie-inspired Charlie's Angels flick, with action scene followed by action scenes, completely implausible situations, the ability to walk away from helicopters crashing into mountains and and find perfect make up when there's not a Wal-Mart to be found.
No matter what the circumstances, from being the last standing survivor in a apocalyptic world, to being drenched in sewage and blood, the leading ladies of Resident Evil: Afterlife will never look anything but slightly unruffled. Even Ali Larter's 'Claire', who begins the movie covered in dust and acting like a wild woman in arid Alaska, soon cleans herself off and has found mascara, blush, eye shadow and the perfect shade of lipstick, ready to stand beside Milla Jovovich and compete for the 'best pose while dripping wet in slow motion' award.
The script itself? Hokey and full of plot-holes the size of Antartica, following a formulaic-brand of shock-and-awe that leaves very little surprises. Two lead actors and a bit player jump into the water to swim to an armory. Guess which won't come back? Two lead characters and a bit player stand at the edge of a hole. Guess who is going to be sliced in half by the boss character who just showed up for no reason?
It kind of goes like that for the entire movie. Time for a fight scene! Time for Alice to look bad ass! Wait, has someone been mauled by a zombie in the last five minutes? Fixed it! Wait, we need some slow motion fight scenes with a completely implausible exit! Done! Let's have a guy keep a plane from sliding off a building with only his brute strength! He can do it! Yes he can!
The point is, if you're looking for a zombie movie? Rent Zombieland or Shaun of the Dead. Go see Resident Evil if you want to see hot chicks kicking ass, looking fantastic while they're doing it. Go see Resident Evil if you want to see awesome fight scenes, and get your adrenaline pumped. Resident Evil: Afterlife is worth watching if you can suspend your disbelief, go with the flow, and tell yourself that it's all just pretty movie-making.
