Hard A

2010-09-25T05:55:00.000-07:00

I went to watch Easy A the other day with some friends with the appreciated tickets from Contagious Network. To think it is just another teen movie, would be quite incorrect.

It has all the elements I could have asked for from a movie for a laid back afternoon; and of course Emma Stone made the movie that much better. It opens as a seemingly narrated and diary-esque movie with chapters of progression but it felt as if you were drawn into this teenage world of stereotypes and rumours. Having left Highschool for almost two years, I could relate back to what it was like being in such an environment (Been there done that, ya know?).

Emma Stone (whom I've totally adored since Superbad and Zombieland) was a great choice to play Olive Penderghast. Her real life dorky (I would say so) personality personified Olive's as a character in such a way that made her grow and thrive within the movie. Amanda Bynes as the religious girl gave another extra hit of comedy to the movie. I also can't keep myself from quoting Dan Byrd (Brandon). This is only the tip of the iceberg, there were so many more in the casts that made the movie enjoyable.

All in all, if you're there for some comedy that the whole family could enjoy (14-15+ - and even adults!) then definitely go watch this movie. :D

Now some screens from the movie:

Amanda Bynes - Marianne (Left), Emma Stone - Olive (Right)

BANG.

Final verdict - 9/10

Easy A was Hard to resist (So I watched it twice ^^,)

Like to Whip It?

2010-07-14T07:36:00.000-07:00

Back on holidays now so trying to watch a few movies but been more into watching back to back episodes lol.

Bout 2 weeks ago, I got round to finally watching Whip It, starring Ellen Page and an assembly of other cast. It's about a girl, brought up 'conservatively' (well, its the way I see it - always listen your parents, do what they want you to do etcetcetc.) who finally breaks away and grow.
Drew Barrymore also multitasks by starring in the movie as a team mate and is also the director. Pretty epic. I'm kind of fond of Drew Barrymore, she's unique haha.
You'd probably like this movie if you liked Stick It or I guess if you liked Ellen Page from Juno. It's got humor, excitement and of course Roller Derby violence which makes it so freaking epic. To be honest, after watching the movie, I wanted to join a roller derby team and be aggressive xD.

I'm trying to get back my motive to update more and watch more movies :(. Anywayz, here are some screens from the movie.

Getting ready to start the aggression :L

The Hurl scouts. :3

Hopefully a new update soon.

Dear John

2010-05-09T01:53:00.000-07:00

Dear John,

Might as well use the line from the movie lol. :)

So, it's been a while since I updated, about a week. Uni has just started again and I'm almost in over my head now. Exams are coming up in a couple of weeks and I'm freaking out so much... Ugggggh, stress STREEEESSS!.

I try to de-stress with a movie - 'Dear John'.

It started of quite nicely but it always had this element that reminded me of Notebook. Sweet young girl on spring/summer break meets boy and under circumferences, they can't see each other much after the break is over... anyways, Channing Tatum is actually alright for a guy buuuut he slurs his words ALOT lol... Amanda Seyfried was pretty good too, after having seen her blossoming (kinda haha) from Mean Girls to Jennifer's Body (might rewatch and review this later :P) to this. She played a very believable character and I couldn't help but empathize with the character (along with all the partners of those soldiers that are sent on tour). The characters kind of draws you into their lives. Although, I felt as though towards the end, it felt a little rushed...

If you liked Notebook, then you probably want to give this movie a go. :)

Now some images :D

His hair 's nice haha xD

Amaaaaanda :3

Watchmen

2010-04-26T06:03:00.000-07:00

I finally found the time and focus to watch Watchmen and tbh, the only reason I skimped out on it in the first place was because of the length of the movie itself. It's 3hrs long (almost... 2hrs and 40mins to be more precise).

I heard that you would either love it or absolutely hate it. My verdict, it was pretty good. I don't love it as much as I loved Kick Ass. The cast played their part well, except Nite Owl had a funny smile lol - but I just can't quite put my finger on why. Rorschach had a great voice and I can't get enough of his monologue/dialogue. If you like a movie with alot of twist and turn, this is definitely a must watch movie.

I've always been into the super heroes theme, so this would most likely be one of my top pick.

Overall, it can be watched for entertainment but it's so much more in dept that you'd be left wanting more or wanting to re-watch it for the sake of not missing anything.

Just some enticing images to go with the post. :)

Malin(Silk Spectre) is quite hot here. :P & Nite Owl with his weird smile haha

I loved his mask.

He's the epitome of epic buuut he's so overpowered that he could probably destroy himself.

KICK ASS

2010-04-22T03:46:00.000-07:00

Finished my exam today and some friends and I bummed around in the city lol.

The exam was epically lame... hate post mortems and yet I can't stop myself from doing it. I effed up hard this time. :\

Afterward, we went and ate Thai. Nom nom nom. :D The pictures will prolly be up somewhere soon haha. Trust. :)

Then we went window shopped (well, with the exception of 2-3 others D:). Was fun lol, dressing up and such ^^,. Photos included.

But the highlight is the movie we watched. Two words.

Kick ASS.

It was awwwwwesssome, definitely one of my favourite films of 2010 already. :D The cast was great and although it didn't follow the comic book, it was still epic overall. I must say though that Hit Girl out played everybody and is the highlight of the movie. :) I'm sounding kind of pedo because she's prolly 12 years old but she had meld herself into the character and that is a feat.
In addition, the music score was another plus. Can't wait til the soundtrack set comes out and the movie itself. :D :D
Here are some images from the movie or of the movie haha. ^^,

Gotta love nerds. :P

One down, One to go :D

2010-04-19T02:13:00.001-07:00

Finaaaally got an exam done. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it was still difficult as hell...

Three more days until I can reactivate facebook and get a week off. Can't wait. I have rehabilitated for almost four weeks now so it should be interesting to see what new things have happened. I felt so deprived and yet liberating that I not so addicted to it, although it didn't help me that much in my distraction because I can always find something else to do. :)

I really need a life... :\

Love Wasting Time. Don't you?

2010-04-16T20:10:00.000-07:00

So my studies are going so well... not... I watched a movie instead and surprisingly, it was pretty good.
Watched Cirque Du Freak: Vampire Assistant. I expected it to be some corny movie that was trying to follow the recent vampire trend but it wasn't. It had a great cast and the plot was exciting especially for a kid like me who loved going to circuses when I was younger.
Salma Hayek who acts as the bearded lady of freak shows made bearded ladies look hot and seductive. :P

I really wish I had more time to cram... I've only got list of movies I want to watch during my mid sem break haha.

Back to cramming... maybe... :)

So disturbed

2010-04-13T00:35:00.000-07:00

It's one week until exams... there's two and they're killing me. I decided not to go into uni today because I didn't have any classes so I could study at home. That didn't happen, I practically wasted a whole day doing nothing but watching my favourite tv shows on reruns.

That's not what I'm disturbed about though... I stumbled upon a trailer that was extremely disturbing and just... medically unsound... I won't repeat here, I rather not give anyone else a disturbed and paranoid mind.

Welps, I am going to get back to attempt studying... but it would end up more like day dreaming and wasting more time.
YAY for me.

Late Night Blog!

2010-04-07T08:07:00.000-07:00

Mornings,

It's currently 0108hour, that is 1:08am and just about to head off to sleep.

Gaaaaah, the days are so messed up and I'm falling so between that it frustrates me so much. I wish I was more organized then I wouldn't be here at 1am writing a blog so that I can vent.

Anywayz, been looking into some new projects that I wanted to do but never have the time to do > Kind of lame of me right? I know you know that I know what you're thinking... *nods*

Just a short one tonight.

Off to lala-land.

Uni, Work, Work, Uni, Work, Uni, Work Work

2010-04-04T05:31:00.000-07:00

Blahellothere,

Yesss, I lied bout trying to keep up the blogs and I apologise. :(

When you're a full time student and work two jobs, it becomes hard to do anything. At least there is always a place to vent and find so many ways to procrastinate. :) - The life of a student right?

Anywayz, been working on this whore-ish assignment for one of my subject. Before I tell you what I'm suppose to be doing, I just gotta say something...
I've got...

HERPES!

Not really... arrrrgggh, another lie! Well, I do have herpes, for my assignment topic, just not for real so technically I'm not lying :). Muaahhaah. *EVIL LAUGH*

While you continue to think how insanely wierd I am, I shall continue on explaining the assignment.
It's a poster assignment, very high school-esque. EXCEPT, you gotta cite EVERYTHING or they'll fail you for plagarising... I feel so restricted :( Feels like I can't even say, herpes is a scary disease without quoting it to some guy he lives in an igloo on the border of Alaska.

Well, I will try and update in a so stay tune. Might be trying something new. :)

I suck... Only if you want me to :D

2010-03-09T03:08:00.000-08:00

Heeeeey lol

Long time no see, been avoiding me haven't you? :( I shall cry out the pain of my heart...

Not.

Welps, I've been informed that I suck at blog updates and I know I do suck at this. I've got so many things on temporary hiatus and I haven't had anything exciting happen, though I'm obviously waiting for something to happen. ;)

I'm back at uni now, 5 days a week with 2 days of fre-... of work. Siiiigh, but at least I'm making some pocket money which I don't even spend anyways LOL.

So if you want to suggest something, go right ahead :) and comment on something I can spend my hard earned savings on.

Hope I remember to update soon.

2010-02-10T05:37:00.000-08:00

Hey Ya'll, :D

So er, it's been awhile and I'm sorry. :(
I really am. It's been 2 months since I last blogged about my life, not that I have much of a life. :3

New things that have happened:
1) I got my red P's today :) Now, I can drive without supervision :D Not that my parents will approve haha xD But yes, just looking for a car now :]
2) Work is still same old, same old. Apparently, I enjoy going to work more than my friend xD But I guess it's true, I find that it's at least something for me to do. I'm being productive. ^^,

Things that have not happened:
1) Still haven't got my skateboard :(
2) Still haven't got my surfing lessons t_t

Yeaaaah.

Well, back to uni in a few weeks :(
Let's see how much I can manage then.

Starfish LOVES you <3 - ^^,

First Day of Work

2009-12-11T04:45:00.000-08:00

Jello Mello :D

Today... I had my first day at work, having lost my training wheels. In the first hour, I screwed up about five or six times :( Good thing the ladies at the front desk were so helpful, I don't think I could have survived D:
Well, I would have to though haha.

Welps, I don't know what else to say. I just hope I don't screw up more in the future cause I'm such a newbie :(

Anywayz.
Catch you on the flipside girls and guys ^_^

ZOMBIELAND!!

2009-12-05T04:54:00.000-08:00

:D

I went to watch Zombieland Premier on Monday, tickets courtesy of Contagious Network. Went with a few friends and had a great night.

Picture borrowed from moviecarpet.

About the movie itself, can't remember when I last watched such a laughter filled movie. :L People who think this is scary, trust me... you're going hear more laughter than screams.
I must say, the cast was pretty perfect for the roles, with Bill Murray gracing the screen with a cameo.
Well, better not spoil it. It definitely is one of my favourite film this year.

On to other news, I will start my first job ever, training this Wednesday. Should be fun ^_^ - wait 'til after a few weeks then I'll be complaining about it lol.

Welps, gonna go write some stuff.
Catch you all soon.

Some things just happen to piss me off...

2009-12-01T09:00:00.001-08:00

Soooooo...

It's only been a few hours and er... well I've been really pissed for the last... oh... idk... 9hrs...

I tried to install CS4 and it decides to freeze int he middle of an installation... so I thought... that's fine... maybe I'll just uninstall it and install CS2 instead... considering all I wanted was photoshop and possibly dreamweaver and flash to mess around with.

It spent 4-5hrs restoring to a previous setting and guess what... It didn't even delete the adobe crap...

Now I'm stuck with like 4GB worth of useless crap on my hard drive.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh... HUGE F*cking SIGH!

Sad day to be me.

Hey Thar online society,

It's my first time blogging on my own so it seems like I gotta deal with all this HTML but that's okay! I've got the basics and I've got a summer holiday to learn. :)

Hopefully, this place will become my realm of release from the reality which we call 'Life'.
