Movie Review: Ghosts of girlfriend's past

Matthew McConaughey is smooth in every single movie I've seen with him in it.


This movie was a bleak version of Click. All about not taking things for granted. Not taking love for granted, mainly, in this movie. Take a step back and think about your past, present and your future. Think of the potential scenarios that may span out based on your actions and drives. 


Not a bad movie. Not hilarious though. Ok to watch.

Movie Review: Up

I finally got to see this movie.

I've heard sooooooo much hype about this film and finally gave in to a cartoon.

It was a nice little flick, melting the toughest of all hearts. You'll go on an incredible journey with Carl and Russell where perceptions will be challenged and changed.

I enjoyed the storyline, the faith in friendship and partnership

I thought it was a good film, but not a great film.

7/10

Movie Review: Closer

This was recommended by a friend.

I enjoyed this thoroughly. I love how realistic this movie is. It's a tale of love, deception, lies and everything else with the exception of a happy ending.
Jude Law was great in this film, an asshole. As gorgeous as he is I can't imagine him to deviate from his character much.

Natalie Portman, what can I say.. I'm stunned. She was sophisticated and turned her ordinary role extrodinary.

Julia Roberts and Clive Owen are beings of many talents, their emotions are raw.

This movie is a an excellent reminder and portrayals of ex boyfriends. Pathetic.

8.5/10

Movie Review: Stardust

I had low expectations for this movie.

When i saw the ad on tv I was pretty apathetic. There was nothing to do on a Saturday night so this movie was a force fed.

I thought this was a "kiddie" movie, i couldn't believe how fantastic the plot is. I'm usually not too into fantasy movies, i never really got into harry potter or narnia (i love CS Lewis' books though, just not the film).

This movie is about trying to get what you want but in the process of that, finding your true love. Very much a romantic fantasy. Boy seek the hand of his lover by retriving a fallen star on the other side of the forbidden down wall. Let me just say it's full of surprises.

Robert DeNiro was a kicker in this movie.

Cute movie.


I really enjoyed this.

Movie Review: Shortbus

My friend recommended this movie to me in disgust. In fact, she didn't recommend it to me. It was more of a diplomatic way of saying "There's this *disturbing* film called Shortbus"--- and that she felt nauseating during the group orgy scene.

Take a look at the picture above and you'd know that this isn't your average friday night movie. Heterosexual, Bisexual, Homosexual, Transexual, Sexual, Sexual, Sexual...definitely sexually diverse.

An explicit film with a gutsy opening scene of sadism, auto-fellatio and 100% real sex scenes. I was pretty shocked seeing all that 5minutes into the movie. but the producer was incredibly intelligent for exhibiting the most intimate scenes at the very beginning of the movie, why? because viewers get desensitised. The most important aspects of a movie, book, article, or even a situation is the beginning and the end.

I can assure you that this movie started with a BOOM and ended with a BAM.

Another thing, the cinematography was incredible.

If you dig deeper and seep beyond the fornication you'd see a flip side to this film, I loved how realistic it was, unlike major hollywood flicks...ongoing predictable plotline. Instead of the movie driving you, you were driving the movie because you'd know exactly what would happen.

Not with Shortbus, because Shortbus will drive you.

This film plucks at the core issues lying within every individual, whether it's personal, relationship, or social issues ...no matter how different you may think you are to the person across the road from you, they'd most likely to be experiencing , experienced or will soon to cross paths with the very emotional rollercoaster you're encounting.

Before I watched Shortbus, i read a summary and was almost certain it'll be a film that's something short of being borderline pornographic. I was surprised to find so much more. Although I haven't seen anything this explicit but this is definitely the "dark" film that touch basis with reality. I guess people were so afraid of having reality reflected at them so they banned this movie in several countries.

Not recommended for the faint hearted.

 "Watch it if you can handle it, and if you can't... prehaps you should ask yourself why."

Rating: 8.5/10

Movie Review: The Human Centipede

If you've never heard of this movie and just saw the picture above I bet your reaction was "WTF"

In fact, WTF was exactly my reaction to this film.

WHAT. THE. F***.

Ok, the movie in a nutshell.... a famous surgeon after retirement attempted to create a rottweiler centipede but failed, the poor dogs died. Instead, he captured two girls and a japanese guy so he could perform the "mouth-to-rectum" procedure (sewing the mouth the the anus) and turn them into a "human centipede" with a single linked digestive system. To the surgeon, this was considered as his beloved "pet"

Are you "wtf-ing" yet?

Possibly one of the worst movie i've ever seen. not because of the mouth to anus plot... that's actually quite bizzare and would intentionally grab a lot of curious viewers.

The actors for a starter were bleak. they were terrible.
The dialogue was empty and stupid
The movie was slow as hell and it wasn't "flowing" logically
The first 42mins of the film consists of poor use of dialogue and girls screaming.

a little over half way you will get to see some action. It's a little bit graphic, I was expecting more scene on the actual procedure, which was a let down.... nonetheless not recommended for the squirmish.

I'm not sure whether I should say "fortunately" or "unfortunately" there will be a sequel.

The Human Centipede 2 is to be released in 2011, according to the maker, it will be the most disturbingly sick movie ... ever.

This movie was so shit, i'm not even gona bother rating.

Bars: Cargo and The Watershed

A few friends and I went out to Cargo Bar and The Watershed before I left.

One friend forgot his ID... and wasn't allowed in so he went home, i felt terrible!

The serving was small...and it was quite expensive, i enjoyed the atmosphere though. Urgh I completely forgot to take pictures of the food :( So here's an eating pic...

Drinks were pretty pricey as well.. their long island ice tea is.. pretty big!

Below is at The Watershed... 60s, 70s, 80s and 70s mixed MUSIC EVER.. we were just about the only under 25s there

The boys striking a pose

 I gotta say, the best pictures are the completely random pics when you have no idea it's been snapped!

My not so new new hair.

Sorry I look dead, no access to make up here. Sweeeeeet
