Twilight review, new company and stuff

Officially saw TWILIGHT!
Sad to say, a lil' dissapointed.
Maybe my expectation was like skyrocketing high, but oh well.
The book describe the Cullens as if they are the most magnificent, beautiful being,
but the cast was like meh....ops... except for Carlisle Cullen, he was spot on.
Just as the book described him :D
Rosalie supposed to be the beautiful one among them...but eh...
Edward is oookay, thumbs up for the perfomance, but in looks department I totally think that they should choose Ben Barnes instead (*≧▽≦) 
(yes me & my ben-atic addiction)
Okay I know, he looks way over 17, so no go....
How about Chase Crawford? Perfect right? 
Can I say omg? he's sizzling hawt!!
Our bdays are only 9 days apart.
20 degrees closer to Chase? (*≧▽≦) 

Is it me or does Kirsten Stewart (Bella) seems stiff?? 
The chemistry between Bella & Edward was kinda depressing. 
If you love someone so intensely, you can see and feel it right?
But I don't see it between them? Like they were so awkward?
Crossing fingers for the follow up movie 'New Moon' gonna be better.


Ahh, work life.
You either love it or hating it.
It's kinda in between for me.
I don't know, ever felt like you 're doing stuff over and over and loathe the sight of it at the end of the day?
Okay lah, it was not that bad.
This new company I'm in is kinda cool.
Dunno whether I can say this or not, but I figure it's only frens here so...
I am working with Ginvera, brands under my wings now are Bio-essence & Nugeno.
Yet to try their stuff, will let you peeps know once I've tried their highly acclaim miraculous 'Face Lifting Cream' .
Let's see whether it can lift my humongous fat cheeks or not.
Yea, learning stuff, being a guinea pig smelling fragrances for skincare (yes, they use the staff as guinea pigs for this kinda stuff), staff purchase (omg!), staying back late, like real  late every now & then... 
coz I'm a slow-poke and Bio-essence have damn good business that they can afford to throw out gazillion of ads, means more work for me, to the extend of skipping lunch? Yea I am that responsible, I forgot to eat when my work is not done.
If you are loaded and wanna hire me (5 figure salary only), my contact number is 01x-xxx xxxxx


Went to personal makeup workshop today with Sis & Venus.
When we're using blades to tidy up our brows,(don't use tweezer, skin will lose elasticity
I accidentally nicked my finger.
Such a klutz.
I am proven accident prone :(

That's all for my MIA stint. 
Cheerios!

Twilight soundtrack is the #1 most-selling album this week in the U.S. according to Billboard 200,
even before the actual movie is being released! Whoa!

Coz' I'm a Twi diehard fan too (^o^)/

Tracklist
  1. Supermassive Black Hole [Muse] excellent dose of grandiose opening
  2. Decode [Paramore] The lead single, totally  relevant to the movie, think Gothic-like romanticism
  3. Full Moon [The Black Ghosts] Other worldly kinda song, not digging this
  4. Leave Out All the Rest [Linkin Park] who doesn't dig Linkin Park? this is addictive...
  5. Spotlight (Twilight Mix) [Mute Math] Upbeat rockey
  6. Go All the Way (Into the Twilight) [Perry Farrell electronica dance rave, sweet!
  7. Tremble for My Beloved [Collective Soulanother pop song, I'm not feeling you
  8. I Caught Myself [Paramorerocker upbeat emo, soooo me
  9. Eyes on Fire [Blue Foundation] slow & simple number
  10. Never Think [Robert Pattinson] is he singing or just mumbling?should just stick to acting, just him and acoustic guitar
  11. Flightless Bird, American Mouth [Iron & Winesoothing acoustic plus piano number
  12. Bella's Lullaby [Carter Burwell] pure instrumental... gets bored after done listening to it 1 time
All are based on personal opinion, don't agree with me!

Bolt

Disney latest upcoming 3D animation, BOLT, 
which tells a story of a white German shepard
Bolt (voice by John Travolta), 
who is a superhero star in his action TV show.
He believes that he owns superpower and is on a quest to search for his owner, Penny (voice over by Miley Cyrus) when he got separated from the studio by accident.
Along his cross-country adventure, he met Mr.Mitten (who is actually a female cat - voice over by Susie Essman) and Rhino (voice over by Mark Walton) and realized that he is just a normal dog and doesn't need superpower to be a hero.
 
I'm very much into animation and can't wait to see whether this one are up to par as it's predecessor Kung Fu Panda & Wall.E
Overall from the trailer, my fav character has got to be Rhino the TV obsessed hamster who is stuck in a plastic ball.
I think he could easily steal the show!
Look at his big round eyes, lil' nose, two front teeth, big plump belly and being stuck in a plastic ball!
Cuteness to the max! He's like a brown furball, no?
Makes me wanna get a big fat hamster and stuff it in a plastic ball! (Juz kidding! no, don't report me!)

Rhino da' hamster
omg!! I want him so badly...
 
Will review on this once I've catch it on cinema ヾ(^∇^) i love japs emoticon!

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Jason Segal!!!!!!!!!!!
My man from 'How I Met Your Mother'!! (have you notice that I'm such a big fan? ^^)
Adult oriented chick flick which is totally enjoyable with lotsa humor & warm moments.
Highlight!!>> Jason Segal. Naked. Full view!! Woot!! ( okay, now I sound like a perv.)

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

This movie can do so much better & have it's potential.
Flop number 1 - at first Zi Yuan (Michelle Yeoh) read that bones script thingy in Sanskrit right? Why the heck does she read it in English for the second round?!
Second flop, Zi Yuan and Lin converse in Mandarin at first right? Why converse in English later on?? So inconsistent.

Sighhhhhhhh....Not as good as I'd hope it would and is there actually any mummy at all?? *spoiler alert!!* I think they are just a bunch of resurrected Chinese armies. *i warned ya!!spoilers!!* The best part about this movie is the ass kicking Yetis! They look so cute with their sparkling blue eyes~ Anyways, i think they over abused the CGIs...3 headed dragon & some other ugly beasts??Aww cmon!! Gimme mummy!!That's what I paid to watch!!

Oh well, it's enough to keep you entertained but you won't wanna watch this again.

Twilight

For those who knows me well will know that I'm super ga-ga for vampires!! I'm super excited that Twilight has been made into a movie but it will only due in December :( 5 more months to go! so loooong, feels like eternity!!!

Anyways, my vampire expedition starts off with 'Interview with the Vampire : The Vampire Chronicles' movie (loaded with lots of hunky actors), various romance novels on vampire love, 'Underworld' & 'Van Helsing' movies, 'Moonlight' TV series (Mike St. John is so cute!), and then to Twilight book series. Now they are making Twilight into a movie!! Im super thrilled!

Here's the trailer >>

Batman : The Dark Knight

I was pretty reluctant to watch this because, 1st- the trailer looks terrifying because I'm scared of clowns (yes, it is sad-long story) & 2nd- it made me sad knowing that Heath Ledger which I super adores in the movie '10 Things I Hate About You' that I watched like 10 times... are not here anymore.

Anyhow, I went and watched it because I knew I would regret it if I don't. I got to say this movie is so worth it, sans the long screen timing, it's amazingly awesome! Complex, twisted, thrilling, certainly dark, an amazing plot & great array of actors! As for actress, Maggie Gyllenhaal, I would say she fairs better than Katie Holmes did in the previous ones. The part where she (spoiler alert!!)... died, I seriously thinks that it is totally appropriate because it would conclude to a climax to the other 3 characters, Batman, Joker & Two-Faced (Harvey Dent) without her being in the way. (sorry Rachel Dawes!)

On the lighter note, as usual, this is no exception on me raving on handsome guys :D OMG!!!! Christian Bale is sooooo cool & manly, and he kick asses too!

Seriously, everyone should watch this, after all, this is the last work of a talented actor who will be truly missed.

A tribute was given to Heath Ledger and Conway Wickliffe ( a special effect technician who was killed while performing a stunt during the set) at the end of the movie.

Hellboy II : The Golden Army

Hellboy II has certainly exceeded its predecessor with its precision visual effects, CGI, concrete plot, humorous characters, quirky lines & its splendidly imaginative monsters! The fact that the humor part is injected throughout the movie makes it totally enjoyable. The action scenes was just as good.

I was kinda sad that at the end Prince Nuada & Princess Nuala ............ (spoiler!!!) My spotlight is on Prince Nuada, not your typical kind of bad guy. His motivations are noble but done in a tragic way. The chemistry between Abe & Princess Nuala are so innocent & pure, Im in awe~ haha. Johann Krauss is annoying... at first. The 'Troll Market' amazed me! Remarkable level of detail in every corner.

Can anyone let me know where I can get that song 'Can't Smile Without You', a duet by Abe & Hellboy? It will totally rock my day! :D

Have you watched it? No? What are you doing here?! Go & watch it already!

Hancock

The preview of this movie is certainly nicely done. After watching it, I felt being cheated? I have high expectations for this but this movie is like meh~ Poor execution, lame plot, lack of originality, vain effort to be funny & failed to be exciting or intriguing beyond it's setup. It's a shame that they have big stars, big budget & good ideas but failed to impress.

Seducing Mr. Perfect (2006)

Oh how I love Korean chick flick!
This is your typical staple of chick flick.
An enjoyable watch.
The eye candy, Daniel Henney is definitely a big bonus!
How come I've never come across this hottie before? 1 word... Wow! & *jaw dropped*
His lines is the best English dialogs I've ever heard in a Korean movie before!
No it's not the dialogs.
It's the way he talks.
So charming & sexy...
I would die a happy girl listening to him reading me Yellowpages.
But, his acting seems stiff in some scenes.
On the other hand, the leading lady, Uhm Jung-Hwa, shines more in the acting department.
Oh well...
My Mr. Perfect has to talks like Daniel Henney, gotta have at least 95% of Daniel Henney looks, as charming as Daniel Henney, as sexy as Daniel Henney, as serious as Daniel Henney, as loving as Daniel Henney... blah blah blah
Okay Im dreaming...

The Bank Job

The Bank Job is inspired by the infamous 1971 robbery that took place at the Lloyds Bank in London. Robbery, corruptions, royal & politician sex scandals, militant drug lords, undercover MI5 agents all rolled in one.

Well acted (thumbs up for Jason Statham!), highly entertaining, spectacle of ingenious larceny & truly thrilling!... the part where the cops wanted to check the vault got my heart skipped a beat...phew~

What Happens In Vegas

Saw this yesterday.
Warm, funny, fuzzy kinda movie.
Cameron still has her sexy legs, but whoa...what's with her muscular biceps? Ain't sexy...
She aged quite a bit but she aged sexily! Loves her wide grin!
Ashton is funny, as usual.
Too predictable, not really original but overall a good watch & a good laugh.
