Babies

My favourite: Bayar

I've done abit of thinking since this movie

The difference between city kids, farm kids and kids in the wild is so apparent. How much are we really missing out by burying outselves in the concrete jungle. What is the meaning of our life outside the realm of technology. Are we able to survive out in the open in the mercy of mother nature and how will we bond with the residents of the animal kingdom. How would you define savvy, street smart and what would you consider a survivor. Are we equipped to live under diverse, changing conditions or are we too protected, too sterile, too clean.

Questions aside, this is a beautiful documentary.. and a child's innocence is absolutely magical.

District B13

I have seen this about 5x and when it aired on SBS tonight, I still HAD to see it AGAIN!

District B13 is the BEST FRENCH ACTION FILM by far!

Drugs, guns and mobs aside, the skills and technique of the fight scenes flow in a beautiful rhythm with the boom-boom music

The tats and abs were also a plus factor :)

VIVA FRANCE!

Water for Elephants

Freebie #2!

Really.. it should be: Whisky for Elephants

When I first heard of R Pat's character, Jacob.. well.. Twilighters.. you felt the irony too, I'm sure.

So to start off with something nice, Pattinson is more convincing as a neanderthal than a bloodsucker. As for his acting, the only buy in I got was the American accent, I can't vouch for how polished his Polish is.. but that's just about it. His performance was yet to be desired.. so annoyed when he does the mocking no-reason grins like the scene was a joke to him or something :P

Witherspoon and Waltz were both very commendable. She's come a long way since Legally Blonde hasn't she. All grown up, all woman and yet she holds herself with enviable stature and poise. Waltz had certainly excelled in delivering a feared, revered circus master fueled with animalistic behaviour, burning passion , fierce leadership .. all with class and vulgar like a lethal, delicious concoction of fine food (if that makes any sense?!)

So I'll rate this R for Romantic.. and I'm glad I didn't read the book beforehand.. otherwise like you, I'll be disappointed

Source Code

You know.. the sci fi movies I watch these days are not convincing because most of the ideas stem from The Matrix.

Stolen ideas aside, the Source Code reminds me of Vantage Point where there is a series of returning-to-the-point-where-it-all-happens. Except that this has a sci fi element and Vantage Point was focussed on delivering the plot from different perspectives.

Jake was pretty hot, but Monaghan was hotter.

Well to sum it up, yes.. it's just another sci-fi.

2.5 stars

Something Borrowed

Yet another sterotypical G-Goodwin desparado-gets-guy ending. Kate Hudson really reminds me of her mum Goldie as she progresses into her prime.
Krasinski delivers well as the nerdy sweetheart dumpee.
And why does Colin Egglesfield look so much like couch jumping Tom Cruise?

Value for money? None. Because I won tickets to it :)

Value for time? Maybe. A no brainer, chic flick is perhaps what we all need to get rid of Mondayitis.
