Because I said so

This is the second time I watch this movie. And I forgot how much I love it. Now I understood more on why I love it.

She's two timing a guy, how awesome is that. Its just a fantasy, but how many people can actually pull that stunt?

Harvey Spector! Well it's Gabriel Macht, but man he's charming.

The awkwardness of meeting new people.

The first kisses.

Testing the water, to see what kind of guys you are dating. Like when she broke stuff. It's a good idea to know how the guys react. What kind of person he is.

Knowing the bad side of you, and he still like you.

The sisterhood bond.

I don't know why that I love it so much, but I do.

Oh the baking. The invite the guy to your house, or more of the guy picking you up from your house and you bake. So your house smells like cookies. Home made cookies. The scent of home, the homey feeling.
I smell of cookies all time after I end work. And we talked about creating perfume or at least home aroma scent of cookies. Let's create it. But anyway ya even though that is so, some people do not like the smell of cookies. And I have to hang out with someone who don't like it, don't I? The world is just funny.

Pitch Perfect

Pitch Perfect is one of the more easier movie to watch.

So anyway everyone was saying how awesome Fat Amy was. And I was like ok, not bad, a cool awesome not stick figure character as part of the main character. But I really do not like her as she did not help Becca. It just got me so frustrated. If people was saying how awesome she is as a friend, I expect her to be one. I got such high hope for her. End up, it wasn't a biggie.

I was disappointed at the part where Becca just add on random songs in the routine. And after, when questioned, Fat Amy did not even bother to back her up. That's where I find the '"friendship" lacking. So I was expecting her to be the awesome friend but she wasn't.

Anyway, I really like Becca eye make up. It is just so simple and dark. Looks so unique and simple, yet just  so mesmerizing.

The story line is also simple. I especially like that the Dj guy wasn't part of the story. And she doesn't fall for him.

I guess the major reason I like this is cause of the mash up. I love mash up. I love how she mixes her own songs, and throughout the whole movie, it just play different mash up songs. and its cool that she knows so much songs. Really impressive. Sure back in secondary school I am really good at memorizing song lyrics. But now, I cant even sing a verse of any song. Not even the chorus. That how much I suck. So watching this feels nostalgic.
Oh, happy birthday counts?

I downloaded the soundtrack too. I hate it. It is ok, but not as good as it sounded in the movie. Especially the part where they did the battle and the finals. It wasn't a mash up, more like one song after another. So disappointed. I really did like the music from the movie.

Rock of Ages

I’ve recently watch 2 musical movie. And no, one of them is not Les Miserables. I watch Rock of Ages and Pitch Perfect. Alright it is not exactly musical, well the rock of ages kinda is. They just kept singing.

So, the movie is bout a girl moving to LA to get a break in singing. She met a guy who works in a bar and helped her get a job as a waitress.

He got his big break and he thought she cheated on him with some rock star and she quit her job and be a waitress at some strip club.

Every time they talk or think, they will sing. And the songs are mash up and familiar. You will know the songs and feel nostalgic. Well, sometimes. It is just that the songs are songs you know. It is familiar. You can sing a long.

The movie is 2h long. So it is long. The story line is very standard. Typical and you can guess what is going to happen next. So you do not watch for the story. You want for the songs. It is just for easy watching/listening. Too long, but it is nice to listen and know. Cause you will be like, hey I know this song. It is a nice feeling to have.
Plus the movie consists of lots of actors you know. Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin(30 Rock), Russell Brand, Catherine Zeta-Jones, just to name a few.

So, it wasn’t as bad as people say. Lengthy and predictable but its just a movie you do not have to think too much. Just to watch for the soundtrack. For the music of the 80s.

P.s. Why in movie the Hollywood sign is such a popular place to go on a date? It is like they always bring their girls there and it always seem empty. Isn’t great place suppose to be filled with people. Cause all guys will think that it is such a great place.
Not just talking bout this movie or the Hollywood sign in general, but more of any place actually.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

This movie is 169min long. So, it is pretty worth to watch in cinema. As ticket cost $11. This movie is the prequels to Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. The story line is about Bilbo Baggins with a group of Dwarves who wanted to reclaim their stolen mountain home from a dragon named Smaug.

The movie introduce a lot of characters. Like hobbit, wizards, dwarves, elves, goblins, trolls, etc. Pretty random, pretty out of place. Like every scene will bring a new type of creature.

If you love LOTR, then you’ll love this movie. Maybe some of you may find it boring, or too long. But I do love it. I love the story, I love how it brings the same person as the same character. I love how it introduce the ring. I also then know about the 5 wizards, which I don’t think matter very much except for the white and the grey. It tells you bout Gandalf the grey. As in the LOTR, he died and became the white. The Brown also was the one who discovered the ghost.

13 dwarves lead by their prince Thorin, Gandalf and Master Baggines went for a dangerous journey which the title say it all. I felt it was more about dwarves than the actual hobbit. Even though it is bout him, but ya it is just focus on the dwarves getting back their home.

If you want the story, read the wiki, read the book or watch the movie.

I am just going to talk more bout what I think. I watched the movie after hearing people said that it is boring. So I never expect much. I just thought it was going to be draggy. Which sure at some part, when they finally saw the mountain and the dragon sleeping in the pile of gold. Oh glorious gold. I love that part. Anyway, I thought we were just at one and half hour of the movie. End up it was over and 2h more had past. So it was quite cool. I never thought it will be “pretty fast”.

I thought they gonna kill off half the dwarves when the rock crush on them. So ya, its pretty cool they did not. Even though 15 characters is kind of a lot. Lots of quirky moment, funny jokes like: “He won the battle and invented the game of golf at the same time.” The part where Saruman said bout the brown wizard eating too much mushroom.

I guess the hobbit is not for everyone, but if you love simple humor and want to know what happen before LOTR. 60 years ago to be exact, then you can watch it.

Brave

Brave, a disney movie that I finally got to watch. Surprisingly it's a really short movie. Actually not not surprising, as disney movies are always short.

And as any movie, there will always be a moral of the story, so I was trying to find out what's it about. The commercial was saying how you are to follow your destiny. It just give me an idea of how the main character made a wish and hope her life would change. That everyone has a destiny and you are the one who made it.

Then I watched the show, so the destiny she change is not hers, but her mom.
I guess she did not want to get married, so she choose her own lifestyle. What she did not know, a life as a normal princess is pretty awesome too. The mom is awesome. She can make men stop fighting.

She made a deal to the witch and made the mom a bear. A bear when she young took her dad leg. So the dad hate the bear. And so now they were chasing her mom.

I don't know what the moral of the lesson is, but I guess it is about listening. It is about being appreciative of others. It is about being brave and do what you have to do? I guess so.

Remember Me

A movie staring Robert Parttinson. It was like 2h long. It is rated 7.1 stars in IMDB, but I really don't think much about it. It is pretty confusing, as probably I wasn't really paying attention. I needed some chick flick and/or comedy. I thought this will at least have a bit of chick flick in it. Even though people say the ending is sad. But it has none.

It is mostly revolve around a guy who is angry at the world, while being directed at the Dad for not caring for him and his sis. It is about him playing the cop's daughter, but end up falling in love with her. Typical. But it isn't fun or nice to watch. In fact I kind of feel like I wasted 2h of my life. Good thing I was painting my nails.

I wouldn't really recommend you this movie, unless you are a fan of Robert.

That's all I got to say.

A Thousand Words

This is one of those Eddie Murphy movie that I actually enjoy.

It's about a guy who was given a fate in the form of a tree. For every word he spoke, a leaf will fall. And when the the branches left with no leaf, the tree will die, and so will he. As he is connected as one with the magic tree.

A thousands words is alright. It has a message behind it. It is meant to be a comedy, but I wasn't laughing. It wasn't great, but it's pretty entertaining. To me it's just a one time show to watch.

I like the part where he went to his mom and finally say yes. He been telling his mom that he is Jack the son instead of her husband. So when he give up, his mom was so happy and began telling him things that otherwise he wouldn't know. So it was very sweet.

So for those people who like to talk a lot, who like to exaggerate things, should watch this movie. Sometimes silence is really golden. Showing is more than talking. Action speaks louder than words.

And I guess you shouldn't take life for granted. Especially if you only have a few leaves left.

Arthur Christmas

Love this movie.

I like how it started with a letter by Gwen, a little girl who believes in Santa but is wondering how the heck he manage to deliver all the presents to all the children in the world.

Remind me of post on Santa. Well, not really. But she questioned Santa work technique. And the movie show that. About how Santa delivers the presents. How even if there is no more chimney, they still managed to place the toys under the tree.

Arthur is the youngest son of Santa, so he will not be Santa. He worked in letters and basically everyone look down on his job. Cause he work behind the scene, so he is not seen as important. However among everyone, he is the only one who actually care about the children.

His brother Steve just want to be Santa, because he is the one who created the system and stuff for the production line and delivery.

Santa just want to be Santa, because he is important if he is Santa. So he doesn't want to retire just yet.

Grandsanta want to go back giving presents because he wants to go down the chimney and relive his glory days.

What great about this show it that you can relate it to the world now.

Now, with so much better technology, the older generation complain bout the world now and always talking about how they use to do things in the past. But if you watch this movie, then you will know no matter how classic and original the past is, it is the past. It will not work on the world today.
No matter how great you think you are, other people matter too. If you are selling stuff, customers are the one that you should care about, not the way you sell stuff. Because they are the one that will comment about you and they are the one that will buy. So you cannot be selfish. If you want to be highly powerful and well loved, you gotta understand what is the thing that matter. In Santa case, it is the children.
Do things for the right reason. And not because you want glory.

In the future, if you want to lie to your kids about Santa existence, you can always watch this movie. Then you will have a better understanding of how Santa work in this century. And that he is not old, he is just the next few generation from the original.

I just wanna know how Santa find a wife that's all.

Waitress

Dear Baby,

So i watched the Waitress. Surprisingly i was so caught up in the movie. It was a good movie. It's about a girl Jenna who married some horrible guy. Well later you will know she married a guy who after marriage change. So poor her. She was saving money to run away. Then she got pregnant. Her husband made her drunk. She went to the doctor and end up having an affair with him. The doc is the guy who play Castle.

It was kind of irritating that she did not just run away or have a divorce. But it is kind of impossible i guess.

She never have any affection for the baby in her tummy. She never tried to harm it or anything. She eat healthy and stuff. But when the baby is born she was so in love that she finally told her husband she wanted a divorce.

And in work, the owner was some old man. She was very nice to him. She was the only one who actually like the old man. And in the end she got a check from him. If i never see it wrongly it was two hundred seventy thousand dollars. That's a lot of money.
Moral of story: always treat an old person nicely. You never know what they will leave behind for you.

The story was about a pie shop diner. A woman who loves to make pie. Make me feels like having pies right now. If only.

There was this part where the doc hold her and she was telling the diary it was so nice to have someone holding you. Just holding.

• Hold you for 20 minuter straight. 
• Wrap you up in their arm without an ounce of selfishness to it.

20 minutes hugs. 20 minutes goodbyes. Remind me of that.

A Star is Born 1954

So there were three version of this movie. The one i watched was the one in 1954. The movie was 3 hours long. Yup that long.

It was a show within a show. 
Pretty normal of like a girl rising into fame, marry the guy who makes her famous, and the guy lost his job and commit suicide in the end. So yah, pretty standard storyline in today context.

Lots of songs as Esther Blodgett was found by Norman Maine singing a song. So it was all about the music. The songs and dance the etc. I like the part where they just show photographs with background speech, makes it more real, like a documentary.

I love the part where he propose to her and she said no, thank you. He asked why not she reasoned. He said stuff, she said he wouldn't be Norman Maine if he does that. Then asked if he really go do all that for her if they got married and he say no, then "that's too much public a proposal to me to say no to, i accept."

The news and paparazzi are told bout them about to get married and stuff. See, no such thing such a nice thing.

It was great that she did not give up. So, its something to learn there. Never give up. And when a star rises another fall. It is quite true isn't it? Like no two person can take the fame.

West Side Story 1961

So, after so long, i finally decided to finish watching West Side Story. It was kind of boring at first, cause everyone looks like plastic. Anyway, there was a lot of mention of the story line. So i roughly get the gish of it. As the story unfold, i discovered how awesome the dancing are. Particularly love the Sharks girls dance in "America".

Songs like "i feel pretty", "tonight quintet" and "somewhere" you heard it all over movies and tvs, but i finally know where its from. So its like cool, a lot of songs are familiar.

Then the one thing i don't get is, the guy you love kill your brother and you still choose him. Seriously, what is wrong with you?
But i guess its a 1960s movie, so its about prejudice-ism and true love. It's pretty romantic if you minus off that stupid part. And its like so cliche where the part Tony kept trying to kiss Maria but always cant.
Then of course the ending must be super dramatic. Haha.
Poor girl, had to slept with a guy who ends up dead moment later.

It is an old movie, so i say just enjoy the songs and dancing and learn not to hate anybody. Peace.

The Avengers

So I watched the avengers. It was crowded and filled with kids. Even though it has been going on for almost a week. Well, the story line is alright, the fighting is ok, but some parts are just too lengthy. Like for the fact there are 6 main avengers, but it just drag on and on bout these characters and one hour is gone. It's just not that great. I guess is before the movie, I was watching Game of Thrones and the show is so bloody and gore and awesome. That watching the avengers is just so-so. Plus I love x-men as lots of superheroes in one movie/book/comic. So it's like that movie is not as draggy as avengers.

The flying machine is confusing. I have to watch it again to really get it. Like I think I saw the other "fan, machine" thingy is moving when I know for the fact that the plane was shut down. So how could the other one was moving? Or maybe I see it wrongly.

I like the part when the plane goes invisible. Remind me of chicken little. Haha.

Cap said suit up. Haha- how I met your mother: Barney's phrase. And Robin had to go down from the helicopter when she just like survived a helicopter ride in one of the ep.
A few more of scenes remind me of other movies.

I love the fact that the enemies just keep coming to attack. Usually in movies, they just wouldn't be bothered and end it after the next wave of enemies came. But this one, just kept coming, so it's cool.

I also like the starting when they introduced Black Widow. She's awesome. She can fight.

The hulk when he cannot remove Tron's hammer. Just cute.

Oh how can I forgot, throughout the movie, I was waiting for Hawkeye arrows to finish. Most movies always make it that arrows are infinite. So I was wondering if they do it with this one. And no they did not. So kudos.

I finally also appreciate Captain America, cause I don't really like him. But he is a cap so he has the skills to direct people in situation. War bound guy, he kinda know strategies so he can assign people to do what. In any other movies the one who do that is usually the leader, but in this care all heroes hard to have a leader, and that's where the cap came in as he is like sort of used to doing it. Yup, that's all. At least not that so useless after all.

Unlike Thor cept giving power to Ironman and bringing Loki back.

Nothing much bout Loki. Don't know why they don't bother with building on his character. Cause bad guys will die in the end?

Nothing really wow with this movie is all I can say. It has humor and superheroes. And it is just a movie everyone has really been looking forward to. If you ask me to watch it again, I wouldn't.
While after the movie I do want to watch some selected scene, a day later, I couldn't really bother. Heck I wouldn't even really care bout it. So I guess it's just a enjoyment kind of movie.

But I really do like the atmosphere in the cinema. Lots of kids so lots of little girls, ok only 2, walking around the isle. There were bored. And a seven years old boy asked the same questions as a certain 23 years old guy. It was hilarious.
Plus when Tony Stark said, "son of a bitch", the little boy mimicked soon after. Haha, probably the only time he can curse.
