Snow Cake
MUST WATCH MOVIE!!only showing at the Picture House!! Quick Quick
A taciturn Englishman recently freed from prison, Alex (Alan Rickman) picks up hitchhiker Vivienne. After Vivienne dies in a terrible car accident from which he walks away unscathed, the remorseful Alex goes to Wawa, to apologize to the girl's mother Linda (Sigourney Weaver), an alluringly attractive autistic woman. After listening with both rapture and fear to the rapid-fire proclamations of Linda, he decides to stay on to help with Vivienne's funeral.
In Wawa, he develops a relationship with the local sophisticate, Maggie (Carrie-Anne Moss). As Alex, who lost his own son in a similarly tragic way, moves towards a reconciliation with his past, he discovers the unique world Vivienne and her mother created together - one filled with iridescent paper snowflakes, twinkling lights, backyard trampoline antics, and giddy games of Scrabble.

Happy Feet
Many people said they didn't like it.I was quite alright with it. I had some giggles when those penguins belt out familiar hits... especially Kiss(by Prince)
This movie tells us not to give up on others and ourselves. We might not be good at what all the others are doing, but we might be good at something.
The animation was good. Some parts were touching as well.
Its scored B+ in the yahoo movie critics.
Opened last week. So if you like Retro Hits and Dancing Penguins, Go watch it.
Voices of Elijah Woods, Brittany Murphy, Nichole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and the Marvellous Robin Williams(dubbed 2 characters!)

COLIC
Finally seen this movie la!I like Final Destination because of the many creative ways that people die in that movie. This is kinda wanting to be it. Lots of creative ways too.
Story line was ok. There were some missing links here and there. Well, nothing compares to SHUTTER, the Thai horror movie a few years back. That was Awesome!
However if you are sick of seeing AngMohs yakking away .. then watch this la. There are subititles to keep you away from the lousy acting. hahahah.

Step Up
This movie came highly recommended by Li Lian and so i thought, since i like Hip Hop and has been dancing for more than 6 years, i guess it would be fair to support a dance themed movie.Apart from the basketball scenes and the street talk, i still think this movie lacks a better story plot. Some time ago, i watched HONEY and i actually enjoyed it. This one, still not that perfect.
Putting that aside, the last act in the movie really moved me. I felt like clapping my hand when they finished. I was all worked up inside. I share the feelings of people who has dreams and work so hard for it.
After the movie, me and Marcia walked to Sembawang Music to get the soundtrack. 2 girls were ahead of us already! But it was Out of Stock! Marcia said that every time a movie like this comes out, the soundtrack sells like hotcakes! Well, i got my HONEY soundtrack. That's for sure and definitely true, coming out from a girl who works for the movie industry. hahaha.
Go Watch it guys and girls! You'll like it!

Material Girls
I thought is gonna be a stupid movie again.OH well, its like Legally Blonde but finding the girls solving a mystery to restore their wealth and status and also, to bring justice to their dead dad, who is the founder of the make up company.
Character's personality development is confusing as they switch from being bimbo and intellect so often.
However, this is still a nice movie to watch despite the lack of chemistry between the Real sisters, the theme behind is still quite moral although lacks depth.
(Hilary's sister) Haylie's appearance in this movie is quite refreshing. Im kinda had enough of Hilary but Haylie did balance out this movie a little.
Feel Happy movie.. well, this is one of them.
Casino Royale
I don't like James Bond movies anyway so what the heck, just watch la.This one is like seeing some old uncle(he is 37yo only, but looks so old) running around, jumping like a monkey and gambling like 千王之王。Guess this is like the lowest budget James Bond movie i ever watched. Less Car wrecks and explosions and all.
The love scenes like.. a bit too over done.
The back part of the movie seems too expected.
I already guessed it. Sigh.
After watching it, i was thinking, if i am in such movies, i wanna be the side kick.. as they never change Judi Dench as M, Chris o Donnel as Robin but they keep changing James Bond.. Batman actors.. hahahha..
As i go on and on saying negative stuffs about this movie, it still scored a A in Yahoo critics and they vote Daniel Craig as the BEST James Bond ever. hahah.. What you think?? hahah

The Grudge 2
I watched Part 1. And it sux!I still went to watch Part 2. Maybe because i wanted to show some support to Edison Chen. I thought he had a really small role and to my surprise, he is one of the main characters. He had many many lines and appeared 1/3 of the movie. Bravo!
What was funny? Well, everytime the ghost appear, she sounded like she just finished gulping a big can of Coca Cola. It was a hideous and funny burping sound.
What was tiring? When the ghost appear so many times, you are not afraid of them anymore.
Well, at least this time round, the ghost put up a more serious image that they are out to kill. During the first installment of Grudge, i giggled everytime i see the ghost appearing. haha.
