Planet 51

Date: 20 December 2009

Cinema: The Cathy

Accompany: Edmund

Planet 51: another typical American cartoon comedy. The story takes a different position where humans are the “aliens”. In this case, Captain Charles "Chuck" Baker, an American landed on a foreign planet, where the population have a misconception that aliens only invade planets, take control of the population and eat their brains.

The good thing about the movie is that these movies always end with a happy ending. The typical endings that I prefer, where Captain Charles "Chuck" Baker gets back to his planet, Lem becomes the big hero and is attached to Neera, General Grawl change his perception about humans (or should I call aliens).

What is probably fascinating and attractive about the show is probably how humorous the different characters are: the alien dog chasing the alien postman, the robot dog collecting rocks and acting like Wal-E etc.

In summary, this movie is probably one where u can bring the whole family along or just looking for some simple comedy.

Julie & Julia

Date: 18 October 2009

Cinema: Iluma

Accompany: GGY, Cindee, Melanie and Ying Ying

Ok, let’s get back to business on writing. This is the first entry on this blog: Julie & Julia. This is a comedy but it means more than just a comedy, it’s an inspiring movie that inspires me to look positively to life.

One might wonder, how can a stupid comedy inspire a person to look at things positively? Well… the answer is pretty simple, look at what I am doing now? I AM BLOGGING. That is the effect of “Julie and Julia”.

“Julie and Julia” is based on a true story, or I shall say it’s based on 2 true stories. The film depicts the story of Julia Child, the famous chef, in her early years in her culinary career. On the other side of the story, Julie Powell was drowning and Julie “pull” her out of the ocean. She was inspired to cook all 524 recipes from Child's cookbook in a single year.

Looking at the way Julia lead her life, the positive attitude she have towards everything makes me feel that life isn’t that dark and dull after all. Furthermore, watching how Julie is inspire by Julia makes one feel that life is exciting and happy again, so long as you have a goal in mind or an idol you look forward to. I must say, I am really touched by the show :)

To all who haven’t watched the movie, go watch it! And Bon Appetite!

Preface

One might wonder why I will start a new blog since the trend of blogging is already dying. Well I am clueless about it too. Lol. But I guess what ignite the passion to push the great inertia in my inner heart is the thought of preserving memories.

Let’s picture it, every December when you start to sit down and think back of what you have done for the year. You notice that you can’t recall a single thing except for… probably what you ate yesterday.

So perhaps one of the best solutions is to blog about the movies I watch. Every movie should have a significant meaning to every individual. No matter whether it’s the story line, the sound effect, the cinema, the person you went to watch with or the total time of the movie. Every movie is just different. So I am hoping to document every single movie I watch to remember the special meaning and feeling I have for that period.

Enjoy the Journey!
