to be perfectly honest, this is the only Harry Potter movie that i sat through in a cinema from start to finish.
before this, i've only watched it on Astro, and even then, in bits and pieces when channel surfing :-p
I think this instalation is very good -- healthy mix of suspense and adventure. since i've never read any of the books, i guess that is good in a way as i went without any expectations.
in all, a great and entertaining movie suitbale for the family :-D

actually, i'd give this movie 10 stars hahahahah!
it was SUCH a thrill to see Optimus Prime come alive on the big screen!!!
the effects used for the movie truly is out of this world, and i hope they come up with sequel... amazing how they got all the characters so accurately, i felt myself being transported to my kiddie days!!!
i would recommend this to everyone i know :-D | Category: | Movies | | Genre: | Action & Adventure |
Watched this movie and enjoyed it tremendously. I'd watched the first 2 but only bits and pieces, in the DVD version.
Johnny Depp was, as usual, excellent!
It was interesting to see his 'inner battle' when contemplating his course of action after Orlanda Bloom was injured.
Not wanting to say too much about this movie, in case in case there are people who've not watched it, I will leave it as it is. | Category: | Books | | Genre: | Literature & Fiction | | Author: | Sophie Kinsella |
Another of the Shopaholic series is BACKKK!!!
I love Sophie Kinsella's books, and her Shopaholic series is extremely entertaining. I got hooked from the first "Confessions of a Shopaholic", and even my youngest sister loves them!
This time around, Becky is expecting a baby, and you can expect her to start her shopping spree for totally ridiculous and frivolous items.
I started giggling from page 1, and the giggles were soon followed by full-blown hard guffaws of laughter till tears rolled down my face!!
What I really love about Becky is that no matter how ridiculous and frivolous she is in the beginning, she always comes round to her senses and do the sensible thing to make things alright again.....
If you have not read ANY of Sophie Kinsella's bools, go out NOW and get yourself a copy of any of the Shopaholic series... You'll be hooked!  | Category: | Movies | | Genre: | Comedy |
Watched this movie on Saturday, and although I as a bit apprehensive at first (not really a fan of dumb, slapstick movies) I decided to go in with an open mind, and expect an idiotic movie that was strictly for entertainment with no logic at all.
And, it delivered!
It was funny, I laughed my head off where it mattered, and kudos has to go to AC Mizal (although I am NOT a fan!) and to Que Haidar for a job well done.
This movie is about the sudden multiple deaths of some villagers, and the subsequent disappearance of their bodies. Turns out that it is all of them have one thing in common -- they had free meals at the local shop.
Things turn chaotic (and at times idiotic!) when it's discovered that the missing bodies have now turned into zombies.
And so begins the attempt of the surviving villagers to escape.
Bear in mind the village has got no cell phone coverage, and all the public phones have been vandalised.
The story, although a bit mixed up and choatic, does have the basic message that one has to reflect on to actually notice.
All in all, an entertaining movie, but do it when you need something REALLY light to take your mind of stress :-)  | Category: | Movies | | Genre: | Comedy |
I'd initially wanted to watch The Holiday but since that was a VERY long wait, I decided to go along with hubby's selection of Norbit.
Typically Eddie Murphy, it was a funny movie about a guy whose life was basically taken over by a woman, and a huge one at that.
While the movie was funny, I just wasn't too happy with the fact that it stereotyped plus-sized women (just watch it to know what I mean), and that it made exaggerated fun on the extreme size of 'Mrs. Norbit'
It was an entertaining movie, but I personally do not think that it was suitable for kids, considering the kind of jokes and insinuations it carried. | Category: | Books | | Genre: | Other | | Author: | Lee Su Kim |
I absolutely HAD to get the book as soon as I saw the title!!
The writer wrote mostly of her experiences as a Malaysian Nyonya (Straits Chinese) in the land of gallon hats and rodeo riders, or so she thought. It was a very interesting, hillarious read and my hubby who was next to me as I read the book in bed, became so dumbfounded that I was laughing my head off most of the time I was reading!!!
A really refreshing read for ANYONE....
