Out on a Chilly Day
Today, I was able to go out from my little hole and explore the world. I went out with the husband today and watched “The Thing” which is a prequel of the 80’s movie. I won’t write down spoilers here but as expected, the movie is filled with startling scenes and a bunch of cgi. In short, it is your typical Hollywood scary movie.
After the movie, we had Chinese food which was mostly seafood. I did not enjoy it this time. We agreed to take a break from Chinese food in at least a month. While we were in the city, we browsed around two stores. First, the toy store just because we both wanted to see what are they selling right now. Then, instead of my usual Target visit, we went to an art supply store for a change. It felt like I haven’t been in one for ages! Beads, scrapbooking supplies, fabrics etc. were all over the place. My eyes were pleased but they were also getting tired. I went home empty handed. No biggie because shopping is the farthest thing in my mind right now. Anyway, it was nice to be out and about once again. No plans for tomorrow but I hope it involves being outside of the house once again.
Movie Night: Sucker Punch
I have been waiting for this movie for months! I finally got to watch it last Sunday night. Despite the err tummy troubles from eating Chinese food, we went out and watched the movie anyway. I love all the actions scenes of Baby Doll. I’m not a big fan of Sweet Pea though because I have never been fond of Abbie Cornish. As for Vanessa Hudgens, she didn’t do much in the movie. Her role seems to be more like a cameo.
There were three worlds in the movie. My favorite is the fantasy world because that’s where you see all the actions. Somehow the effects reminds me of Lord of the Rings and there was a scene in there where you see Orcs. I kid you NOT. I went there for the fight scenes and good cinematography. The story was bland but doesn’t suck as much as War of the Worlds or Tron:Legacy. Emily Browning played the role well. She seems to be always get the young crazy girl roles. Remember, Uninvited? As for the cinematography, it looks like a hybrid of Watchmen and Sin City.
I can just imagine the girls’ outfit as Halloween costumes. However, if you plan to don Baby Doll’s clothes, a flat stomach is a requirement. Start stocking up on conjugated linoleic acid (cla) now. There’s still a couple of months to go to work those abs out.

From Manhattan to Nashville
I’m not a big fan of Gwyneth Paltrow so when she guested in SNL to promote her new movie, “Country Strong”, I couldn’t care less. However, when I heard Leighton Meester is also in the movie, that got my attention. You know how much I like watching Gossip Girl that I never missed a single episode. And of course, Blair Waldorf is my favorite character in the show. With that said, I immediately search for the trailer of the movie and instead I found a clip of her singing. On her previous music recordings, the music drowns out her sweet voice. Country music suits her well and I think she should stick with it. Watch Out Taylor Swift, there’s a new kid an Upper Eastsider in town!
Movie Night: The King’s Speech
When the husband invited me to watch the movie with him, I was hesitant because I’m not really a big fan of period drama films. However, part of me is curious about the movie and I wanted to know the reason behind all the Oscar buzz that it is getting. The movie is based on the story of King George VI and his struggle with his speech impediment. In the movie, you will see Bertie’s hard and sometimes weird speech training and exercises, his frequent smoking of cigars, his bad temper and his reluctance to be a king. I was pleasantly surprised to see Helena Bonham Carter playing a non-witch role. On a side note, is it just me or Guy Pierce looks older? Maybe because I still think of him as Fernand Mondego from The Count of Monte Cristo. My verdict: I actually enjoyed watching the movie and I think Colin Firth’s acting was good. It was an inspiring movie and I do recommend it.
DD 8: Harry Potter Saga
After previous failed attempt, we finally made it to the cinema to watch this movie. Instead of traveling all the way to the other side of town, we opted to watch it in a local theater. That wasn’t a great idea but saved us the hassle of a long drive back home. We have both been wanting to watch this movie since we are now both updated with the story (after our Harry Potter movie marathon recently).
