Movie | twiinklex ❤

Watched a fair share (more than my average) of movies in theatres the past month and most were disappointing! From the earliest to latest…

Final Destination 5
Cars 2
Crazy Stupid Love
Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark
Contagion
Johnny English Reborn
Fright Night
Abduction

Final Destination 5 (8/10)

I like everything except that some parts weren’t realistic
This film was a little bit different from the others
Like you could kill someone and get his remaining lifespan
And the sequence was deaths wasn’t according to your seats this time
Plus points for referencing the first film!!
Love how the film actually turned out to be a prequel to the first

Cars 2 (6.5/10)

Love all the fighting and theme of friendship
But animated films, especially those of non-human beings, just aren’t my cup of tea
I’ve never watched Toy Story / Up / Ice Age / Happy Feet / Despicable Me /etc

Crazy Stupid Love (10/10)

Blogged about it here already
But I forgot to mention one of the best parts! They made fun of Twilight 😀
“I really went to see the new Twilight movie by myself. And it was SO bad.”
There is not a single thing about this movie that I didn’t like

Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark (1/10)

Not funny, not scary, not thrilling or exciting, not creative, not intense
Stupid ugly critters aren’t frightening at all wtf
Dry storyline and uninteresting characters
Ending was predictable
1 point because I like the themes plus the little girl is very cute

Contagion (0/10)

Wow if I thought the above was bad, this is horrible
I was thinking of something like zombies?
Fucking boring storyline with fucking boring characters
It’s like a typical documentary you watch on Discovery Channel
Except that I go to theatres to be entertained, tickled or frightened
Not see realistic happenings of an epidemic e.g. panic, evacuation, etc
Guess it was nice how they showed “Day 1” at the end of the film though
In the end they found a vaccination anyway so what is your climax????
There is not a single thing about this movie that I like

Jonny English Reborn (7.5/10)

Just like any other action movie with a lot of humour
Nice and very funny but way overrated
Quite predictable, no twists, no build-up of suspense
Maybe to other people there is but I certainly wasn’t surprised by any scenes/moments

Fright Night (8/10)

Starts off with a high school setting and I LOVE high school settings
Funny parts, intense parts, suspenseful parts, jumpy parts, cute parts
Love how the vampires are quite traditional e.g. don’t sparkle, scared of holy water, etc
Best thing is they had to be invited in just like TVD vamps!!!!
Characters were well-developed and likeable
Final scene and ending was good

Abduction (6.5/10)

Taylor Lautner is buff but not good-looking at all so I really don’t see the fascination
Prefer older guys with stubble like Ryan Gosling/Reynolds and Ian Somerhalder wawawa
Movie was okay-ish but ending was lame
The plot was quite weak though
Scene whereby the foster parents died saving him really got to me
But they didn’t explore the emotions deep enough and Lautner didn’t even seem that upset

I guess it is hard to fit realistic, well-developed characters + strong, creative storyline + variety of funny / intense / suspenseful / etc scenes into a 100-minute or so movie but still… Really not much good movies out lately. Plus my judgement is probably quite biased because my favourite genre is horror/thriller. Out of all 8 movies, I paid for 3 and Contagion was one of them, and also the most expensive and also the most awful. Fmlfml.

Also I just realised that I didn’t watch most of my favourite films in theatres!!! 🙁 usually all DVD or online. House Of Wax, A Perfect Gateaway, A Walk To Remember, etc. Gah do you even know how stunning the setting of A Perfect Gateaway is?! Honolulu! There was the sea, mountains, skies of various shades and even rainbows! Imagine if I had watched it in theatres on the bigass screen!! And it is actually a thriller 😀

Well anyway, got invites to watch Real Steel tomorrow so, hope it’s good!!!

Title inspired by a tweet from my Iansome 🙂

1 September (Thursday)

Initial plan was karaoke but we changed plans last minute because Gerry was unwell and couldn’t make it but she’s the best singer among all of us and also the one who loves karaoke the most! Anyway I had flu and my throat was a little sore sooo. Decided to stick with the safest option – lunch and movie in town! :3

Crazy Stupid Love

Like what Nina Dobrev tweeted, Crazy Stupid Love was crazy, not stupid and I absolutely loved it :’) I think it’s one of the best comedy films I’ve ever watched! Ryan Gosling being in the movie too helped a lot of course ^^

Some parts were just plain hilarious and I laughed throughout most of the movie. My favourite scene was when everyone met each other face to face then chaos ensued and a brawl started. At first I was like nooOOoOooOOOooo but then later I was just THIS IS SO AWESOME HAHAHA.

Ryan Gosling sniggering

Can he get any cuter?

Omg this part and the velcro wallet part damn funny as welllll

It's like you're photoshopped Ryan Gosling

OMG HE IS PERFECT ASDFGHJKL *_*
He srsly looks like an older version of Tom Felton esp with hair all gelled back like Draco Malfoy!!
And my favourite cutest moment… :3

Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone

Went to shop around after that and I swear Darilene and I are very bad influences on each other :@
We bought 4 bottles of nail polish each even though we both already have so many at home. Hahaha but I guess there isn’t really such a thing as “too many” 😀 want to guess what colors I bought… Actually no need guess also know.

All my favourite colors lololol. I usually only paint these few colors to match my clothes and shoes… But it’s justified okay!! I don’t have pure black, white, that shade of pink and that shade of silver at home… hahahaha okay wtf am I saying.

Dian bought a pretty white dress from New Look so yay we all bought something!!! 😀
I tried on the same dress but I ended up looking like I hail from Ancient Greece LOL
Went to om nom nom after that! Mmm takos!! Shared this Japanese omelette with Dian too (y)

CAMWHORE TIME!!! 😀

Feels very incomplete because it’s just the 3 of us…

This is like the best group photo out of all 😀

My bag very unsightly I know

There are more similar photos but this is the only one that I don’t look that preggers in -_-

Wore proper high heels because it matched my dress and rarely are there good opportunities to wear those heels. And some shoes if you don’t wear them often enough, they will spoil and split apart etc sooo decided to be stubborn anyway despite knowing that I’ll be doing a lot of walking. Brought slippers just in case though and Darilene told me to just change into them because my feet were hurting so bad. But the vain and stubborn side of me just refused to listen -_- rather suffer the consequences and take painful steps than have a mismatched outfit. Sigh my priorities…

Stupid photo which I like even though my face is like a ballll.

Sigh I feel like time with some people is never enough no matter how often I get to see them or how long it is whenever I do. It’s really hard to find true friends that stay with you (especially in my stupid class) even during hard times, people you are so comfortable with that you have no qualms about being yourself in front of. People who know the real you. Sigh really hate how time passes so quickly when I’m having a good time!!

Anyway while walking around, I was being random and telling the girls that I felt very lucky to have known them, out of so many people in class (like why did I get awesome friends and not the backstabbers). Dian was so cute because she said, “Why, what do you want from us?” with that suspicious look (as a joke) like I’m being nice because I have an ulterior motive xD

Hmmm went out like nearly everyday that week but I don’t have pictures so I’ll just be briefly blogging about them together in one simple poast for memory’s sake. Most probably will not be poasting the permalinks to FB and Twitter so check out the homepage yourself every now and then if you are interested in minor updates 🙂
