MOVIE MARATHON!!!

ARGHH!!! I am feeling sooo guilty, damm I should be studying I know but I just could'nt resist this movie "BECAUSE I SAID SO". So, I just pulled a random move and head to cineleasure with one of my friend to catch the show at 3.10 yesterday . Instead of one movie, we both ended up watching 2 more , "VACANCY" and "THE SIMPSONS" for FREE. WE went cinema hopping. Ohh wells, i don't know bout u guys but "Vacancy" sucked, I mean is not like I have anything against thriller. I love thrillers like "Identity". Never liked "joyride", is like characters in the movie are getting chased over for some unstated reason. At least "identity" at the end of the movie, they shed some light of the whole confusion that the main character has multiple personality disorder which makes it a perfect twist. Gosh, Vacancy just flopped for me. "Simpsons" on the other hand was classic and it was hilarious. To be honest, if it was'nt for free, I would never even watch that in the cinema. So not worth it, ITS CARTOON. Since its for free wells I haveta say its pretty darn funny, the classic lame simpsons that we all watch is still rocking.



"Because I said so" was even better. Its really the kind of movie gals should watch with their mums. I will get hold of the DVD. its about:-


Daphne Wilder (Diane Keaton) is a mother whose love knows no bounds or boundaries. As a single parent, she has raised three fantastic girls--klutzy, adorable Milly(Mandy Moore), stable psychologist Maggie and sexy and irreverent Mae--to become the kind of women any mom would die to have. The only problem is they're about to strangle her. In order to prevent her youngest, Milly, from making the same romantic mistakes she did, Daphne decides to set her up with the perfect man. The one thing Daphne decides not to tell Milly, however, is that she placed an ad in the online personals to find him. If anyone knows exactly what her daughter does and doesn't need out of a long-term relationship (or clothes or her career), it's Daphne. Comic mayhem unfolds as the well-intended mom continues to do the wrong thing for the right reasons--all in the name of love for her beloved daughter. Is the man of Daphne's (er, um--Milly's) dreams the responsible architect Jason, or is he the free-spirited rocker Johnny? Daphne will continue to push, cajole, suggest and nudge her way into Milly's smallest of decisions until she rights the wrongs of her own life choices or drives her girl nuts. But once Johnny's own father, Joe, catches a buried spark within Daphne, things really start to heat up for the Wilder matriarch. Finally letting herself begin to fall, Daphne begins to wonder if she is just pushing her girls as a way of ignoring her own issues.


Its the perfect chick flick for mums and their daughthers. ITS hilarious and also romantic!!! Mandy moore looks different though.. she looks soooo much more mature. Maybe its the character that makes her look mature. Another movie well miniseries I haveta bring up is-----



Well, yesterday morning before heading to cineleasure I rewatched this 2 part HBO miniseries -


TSUNAMI: THE AFTERMATH


My tears was pouring man even though I watched it for the 2nd time!! This miniseries is sooo real. The audiences can really feel the pain of the characters. Just love everything bout this miniseries. Its a miniseries inspired by true accounts ( The 2004 december 26th tragedy).

A tale of personal loss, survival and hope, TSUNAMI, THE AFTERMATH follows a group of fictional characters whose lives are irrevocably transformed by the cataclysmic natural disaster. Among those whose stories are followed are: a young couple searching for their child; a Thai survivor who loses his family and tries to prevent developers from seizing the land his village is built on; an Englishwoman whose husband and son are missing; an ambitious reporter; a relief worker; an overwhelmed British official whose faith in the system is torn apart; and a leading Thai meteorologist, whose earlier report detailing the inevitability of a tsunami hitting the affected area was ignored. TSUNAMI, THE AFTERMATH is based on extensive research and interviews by writer Abi Morgan and dramatically explores the interconnectedness of those who suffered loss in this unimaginable tragedy. The miniseries examines the cultural and personal fault lines that can be ruptured when catastrophe strikes, and shows how people all over the world - and across a wide social and economic spectrum - came together in the aftermath of the tsunami to cope with their losses and try to help one another rebuild their lives. TSUNAMI, THE AFTERMATH celebrates the best of the human spirit during the worst of times and explores the lessons for humanity raised by a disaster of such an extraordinary magnitude. Filmed on location in Phuket and Khao Lak, Thailand, the production has had the supportive and collaborative cooperation of the local governments and communities. Local residents were interviewed for their input prior to production, and the Thai production company Santa Film has acted as advisor throughout filming.

Okies, woohhhh I spend to much time for movies nowadays man!! gotta start studying now.. till then see ya around.
