MOVIE REVIEWS - Sex and The City 2 (2010)

Sex and The City 2 - Carrie On

Cast : Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall

Yes, the girls are back but this time they're married and with kids. Well Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) got married to her Mr Big, but not intending to have kids in the near future. Charlotte and Miranda are married with kids, Charlotte adopted hers. As for Samantha, still single and mingling but obsessed with vitamins and "miracle" creams.

This time the girls go on a trip to Adu Dhabi to experience the "modern" Arab living, only to find that it is not as modern as they thought it would be, especially for Samantha. Their trip would be just fine if not for Samantha's "easy" going behaviour which causes the hilarious escapades that the girls have to go through while they are in Abu Dhabi.

Being a "I'm a woman, hear me roar!" show that it is, other than the issues of sex...issues of the modern woman, a woman who speaks their mind, married life, raising children and living it large during menopausal age are thrown into the mix to make Sex and the City 2 more heartwarming and close to most women's hearts. Also not forgetting, the glamorous locations, fabulous clothes, shoes, hats, jewellery that adorn the girls, which makes us wish to be just like them.

All in all, even if you have never watched Sex and The City before, ladies, Sex and The City 2 will get you hooked to watching it. The guys can enjoy this too, especially bits like, the bra-less nanny, the gay wedding and Samantha doing her thing with different men... (- -")

MOVIE REVIEWS - Prince of Persia, The Sands Of Time (2010)

As mentioned, I will start of my 2010 blogging with reviews of movies watched in year 2010. I will kick off with the movies that I've recently watched and is now playing in Singapore cinemas.

Prince of Persia, The Sands of Time

Cast : Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley. Gemma Arterton

I think Prince of Persia is better off as a game. Even though I have never played the game before but I think we should just let games be games. No doubt Jerry Bruckheimer's action and fighting sequences are cool to look at but I find that something is missing in this movie. The whole show is basically about the dagger that has sand in it, that when a person "push" the button on top of the dagger's handle, that person is able to turn back time. But if there are no sand in the dagger's handle, then basically you can't do it. Like some devices which are battery operated, this dagger is...sand operated..but you'll need special sand. Normal sand won't work. (- -")

So throughout the whole movie you will see the dagger, falling into the either the wrong hands or switched between Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Tamina (Gemma Arterton) through games of trickery. Sometimes I wondered, with all that passing around, I'm suprised that the dagger did not fall and its glass handle break into pieces and thus ending the "a bit draggy" movie. Also, whenever Dastan tries to convince his brothers of the truth as to try to keep them safe from the enemy, they will eventually believe him but still dies in the next scene. But alas, as this story is about turning back time...after the whole long labourous process of seeing Dastan trying to save his father (and failed), his brothers (and failed), the heroine (and failed)... almost to the end of the show, while fighting with the evil guy, Nizam (Ben Kingsley), he decides to press the button on the handle and rewinds back to the begining when Halamut was first invaded by him and his brothers and the dagger was first found by him. And with the knowledge that he acquired of Nizam and his evil plans, he confronts him and thus, saves everyone who died in the first 100 mins of the movie, from dying.

And with all Disney movie, in the end the hero receives the respect of his brothers, wins the heart of his people, gets to marry the heroine and lives happily ever after.

Review : 6/10

Comment : Watch it only if you like to watch Jake Gyllenhaal in an action flick (different from his usual softie roles like in Brokeback Mountain and Day After Tomorrow) and of course for Jerry Bruckheimer's action sequences.

A year has passed...

So if you noticed, a year has passed since my last blog. I think I can't be a regular blogger like some people do so naturally everyday. I mean, I can't force myself to sit in front of the computer and type out every single day what thoughts I have in my head. I rather play them in my head than typing it down because at least when they're in my head, I don't have to bother about grammar or spelling mistakes...

Then suddenly a thought struck me...Maybe I can blog about something I do regularly, like maybe dining, watching movies, listening to songs, removing my bowels. I mean, provide useful "intel" on these interesting things that I do regularly.

So for the year 2010...I would like to dedicate my blogging to the world of movies. Ps: I'm a movie buff. I go to the movies every weekend. I am a major contributor to the film makers, actors and actresses.Their salary depends on me. (- -")
