Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

I have been waiting for this for ages..and I've finally caught it in GSC last week!
MySpace
You can call me childish, but I think Madagascar is super uber funny. =P

Skipper and his Hawaiian girlfriend. LOL

Click HERE for more great pictures from the movie! =)


The Prestige

Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts.

The first part is called "The Pledge".
The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man.
He shows you this object.
Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal.

But of course... it probably isn't.
The second act is called "The Turn".
The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary.

Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it,
because of course you're not really looking.
You don't really want to know.
You want to be fooled.
But you wouldn't clap yet.

Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back.
That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige".

Both equally awesome movies !

Weekends are for Movie Marathons!

Ever since I've read the book, which I really really loved, I have been anticipating to watch the movie.
Though the dvd has been sitting on my shelf since May, I've been so busy and caught up with other things.

But.... YAY ! I finally found time to watch the whole movie! hip hip hooray! MySpace

Psssst...I Love You !
I liked the movie.
Notice the word 'like', which is not the same as 'love'.

Well, in the movie they did change a lot of details.

Holly's family background was changed,
Daniel's not as charming as described,
the way of delivering the letter was different and
there's the whole Gerry's fortress part which I cannot recall any of it from the book.
And, I do not remember that both sides of their families objected their relationship so badly, to the extend of hate. =(

what??
I think I should read the book again. MySpace

Despite of all the changes, I still enjoyed the movie.
Gerard Butler was great as Gerry and Hilary Swank was not bad as Holly.

and I never realised how much I liked the Irish accent.
They start speaking and I was like, Ooooo... o.O

*no wonder I loved Westlife when I was younger, didn't realised that I loved them partially due to their accent* hehe


Denise (Lisa Kudrow), Holly (Hilary Swank) and Sharon (Gina Gershon)

Its kinda weird for me that Sharon, Holly's supposedly bestest girlfriend,
was so absent in Holly's life during the movie.

As for Denise, Lise Kudrow made her rock wei!

haha..I really love the way Lisa Kudrow acts.

She brings interesting life to any character, especially as the weird yet oh-so-funny Phoebe from Friends. hehe
Friends would definitely not be the same without Phoebe and her funny comebacks, weird thoughts and actions. haha


Gerry's best mate, Irish William.
Don't really remember him from the book, but he sure makes the movie nicer.


The rude and too straight forward Daniel.
Erghhh, I've imagined him a lot better looking and more classy when I was reading.
But in the movie, he was just ..Eeeeee!
I'm just so glad he did not take Gerry's place with Holly.

There you go.
My short review.
Short enough that it won't spoil the movie much,
but long enough to warn about the possible letdowns. =P


By the way, I've also watched My Super Ex-Girlfriend.

One Word for it?
" Erghhhh "
even put the word in revolting green to emphasize the Erghhhhh-ness of this movie.

more words to describe it?
cheesy
corny
obvious low-budget effects
a very desperate leading actress/heroine

I've always wanted superhero powers.
but I were to be a superheroine like the cheesy "G Girl" here,
I would rather hide my face in shame and migrate to Planet Deijogpewo, a planet far far away.

Jean from X-Men's powers for me, anytime =P

So...to sum up.
P.s. I love you
watch before reading the book. it would be a lot more romantic if done in that sequence. if you have already read the book but yet to watch the movie, don't put too much expectations in it. but either ways, its a nice movie to me =)


My Super Ex-Girlfriend
I highlighted the title of the movie in Revolting Green, enough said.

hmmph!

I would like to live in a world where leg cramps do not exist, please.

and maybe in that world,
I might be able to have more sleeping time
&
don't scare my roommate every time I jump up from my bed in the middle of the night to do leg stretches.

By the way, I've watch Facing the Giants today. Its a very moving Christian story about revival in a Football team.

Yeah, football - not my cup of tea.
Its America's number 1 sport, I know.

But to me, its just big, buffed-up men running around pushing each other on the ground, protecting one big oval egg. If it was about basketball, it would have been a much better movie for me, cause I was pretty blur while the football games were on.

Nevertheless, its a very very very moving & touching & powerful & intensive & great & miraculous & oh-so-wonderful movie, that I wanted to quote almost everything in the movie here.

I don't usually re-watch movies, but I really want to watch Facing the Giants again before writing more about it in my blog.

Never Give Up, Never Back Down & Never Lose Faith =)
