Dear diary,

Tonight I hope I have a dream like Alice’s. I wanna go to wonderland, to try on wacky Hatter’s cocktail hats. Skip the adventure part, and maybe no Jabberwocky please, I would like to attend the mad tea party.

Alice in Wonderland

Hackneyed twist of fairytale. Adore the mise-en-scène though, particularly the costume make-up bit, feels like a corroboree in gonzo wonderland. Kudos Tim Burton!

Dear diary,

Today, I watched a beautiful Japanese animation titled 秒速5センチメートル (5 Centimeters per Second/秒速五厘米)

It’s a short love story, made up of 3 parts.

I personally love the first part the most! I think the simple & earnest love between the 2 young kids forwarded a very touching tale.

Generally, I admire the way they depict Tokyo city & Japan suburban in drawing, every detail very well taken care of. Coupled with the lovely piano background music, it’s an experience itself to watch it…

Very inspiring, especially for a Monday night.

Dear diary,

I watched an award-winning film called “Easy Virtue” over lunch just now.

It’s about a young Englishman that marries a glamorous American… and when he brings her home to meet the parents, she arrives like a blast from the future – blowing their entrenched British stuffiness out the window…

Simple story, but conveys a very meaningful point – difference in love.
Certain differences in love can be tolerated, but there are some things (esp those in your roots) that you can’t change or others can’t change; and that’s what leads a relationship to an end.

Nice music too. Quite annoyed with the ancient English accent though. hehe.

Sometimes there’s this weirdness in me that I find overly-commercialized stuff (film especially) unattractive. Or I’m just very selective esp when it requires my time.
Can you believe that I’ve never watched Harry Potter (except for the first sequel) or I can never understand why’s Avatar or Twilight creating such a big hype…
I’ve this rebellious liking in me…the desire for non-mainstream stuff. And I feel, it’s very difficult or nearly impossible to find someone that’s like myself. *lonely*
Nevermind, I’m sure I’ll meet weird people like that one day later.

Dear diary,

The Spy Next Door!!

“Relaxed and funny!”

It made me cry somehow I don’t know why.
Although the lines are quite cliche but it’s just different when Jackie Chan says it.
Hope to see more from Jackie!

Read another review here.

Dear diary,

Thanks to Robb, I’ve got a pair of movie pass to watch any Fox or WB’s movies.

Hence, we watched “The Time Traveller’s Wife”.

A sad but beautiful love story! Somehow I felt like I’m watching P.S. I Love You all over again.

At first I felt that it’s a bit draggy and boring, but that’s because i didn’t know how this Time Traveller thing works and felt a bit disjointed!

Then as the story develops, it’s so good that it makes me wanna cry!

It’s kinda “Details first, emotion later.”

Oh btw I never read the book.

Dear diary,

So I’ve watched “Orphan”.
It was okay, a bit disturbing.
Somehow,being the typical thriller, there’re always point-of-view shots with random audio effects that only reason is to scare you. Lame!

But ya, I enjoyed it overall. At least it managed to engage my attention throughout.

However that night after I went home, I was a bit scared.Kept imagining stuff myself. So stupid!

But that only lasted 1 night. After that I wasn’t so scared anymore.

Dear diary,

For some reason, I’m looking forward to the movie screening for “Orphan” tonight.
I don’t usually like thrillers like this, because I’m a chicken.
But I think this’s a sign of growing up, I started to like movies that’re not straight-forward, not so predictable. Or perhaps this is the after-effect of taking film classes.

Hope this’ll be a good one! They said there’s ‘twist’ for this movie.
Will talk about it after !

Dear diary,

Today Nicholas shared with us a very meaningful short film. If you have 12 minutes to spare, I really think you should watch this:

Short film has always been my passion and it will always be. Patrick Hughes, you’re just too talented!

Hoorays! Movie night! Mom, you're in again! Rox to be you!

Dear diary,

I can’t believe it’s Saturday already! Time flies!

On Wednesday night, I attended Monsters vs Aliens 3D Screening.

I look quite tiny beside the poster.

I like the movie very much!! There’re funny parts that made me laugh.
And at least 2 hours to escape from real life! The 3D experience is good too!

I like B.O.B. very much. Although he look quite retarded but I think he is very cute when he smiles like this:

hahahaha.

Me and mother. Think it’s her first time watching a 3D movie.

It was a great movie night out, mom enjoyed it too!
