Movie Review: More then Blue (Korean Movie)

More then Blue


Synopsis::
K, a radio producer who loves Cream, is told that he has only a few months left to live. Because he knows that her biggest fear is to be left alone, he keeps his secret and makes a hard decision to urge her to marry a healthy, goodhearted man, Ju-hwan. Even though his heart breaks when she announces that she has fallen in love with the man, he never expresses his true love so not to be an obstacle in her life.

Kwon Sang-woo, I <3 his movies/dramas!!!! Ok this is much better movie compare to Keith!! Much more powerful with a very sad ending.

The synopsis say it all... a romantic movie(kinda.. in a alternative way), cute but sad movie ^__^. And, I like the way they tell the story... from both leads. The love between the both of them was so powerful!






My rating:8.9/10

Movie Review : Keith

Synopsis fr IMDB::
Natalie has it all: yearbook editor, scholarship to college, star athlete, reigning social queen. Then Keith enters her life. Secretive and enigmatic, he slowly lures her from her comfort zone. The more Keith holds back, the more Natalie becomes intrigued with figuring him out. In her head, she's determined to keep him at arm's length, but in her heart she can't resist him. As Natalie's world slowly unravels, both their lives are changed forever in this powerful love story.

Jesse McCartney... he surprised me!!! Not bad not bad... his acting... especially the part where Natalie confess her feeling to Keith(His role in the movie). He was really good!! I can feel the tensions and emotions there!!!(Great Jobs Jesse!!!)

But overall the movie was kinda lack in creating the romantic feel... becos I didn't feel like crying when the movie ends! lolx (I was prepare to have a good let out... releasing some stress and tension thru watching a powerful sad movie!)

This movie kinda reminds me of "I'm sorry, I love you"(Kdrama)

OK... it's just a simple movie.. I can't say anymore without being a spoiler! lolx






My rating: 7.9/10

I planned to see Atashinchi No Danshi(Jdrama) tonight (it's a romance comedy that highly recommeded by xiaomei)

Random shop alone before movie

Went to see New Moon on Tues with Ming and Swan @ VIVO..
Finally, right? lolx.. heard good and bad reviews on the movie... so I didn't gave high hope for this movie and in the end.. it turn out quite good! ^__^

Before meeting Ming and Swan... I went out early, I wanna check out MAC for their browsets and Sasa on the Pupa new collection (it look like MAC style black.. but it was too gittery for my liking!)

So I bought the MAC browset without checking out Sephora browset.. WHY? Well bcos... when I saw the shade beguile... I have to have it! lolx

I also randomly checking out MAC eyeshadows.... And I donno why Amber light look so pretty this time(I always thought it was too loud/dark for my liking).. There goes my willpower on trying not to buy too much eyeshadows!!!!



Beguile browset.. I tried it on yesterday and I love how light the texture was
and how soft the color when I brush it thru my brows!


Amber Light... It's kinda like bronze orange gold!


I window shopping awhile at Tangs, some random clothing stores(I wanna get some normal big round neck tshirts.. didnt see any I like~) and I stop by Best Denki to get a new earphone(I hate the one I bought last month!... So tiny and I felt that it keep poking my eardrums.(I know it's impossible for a ear piece to poke the eardrums!) But well... I got a Sony black innit earpiece ^__^ I'm happy with it!

Lastly, I rest at Coffee beans with a cup of hot yummy latte while waiting for them to reach ^__^ A very blissful, relaxing 2hrs shopping spree(I didn't buy alot.. but I see alot! lolx)


They reach around 8pm... have dinner before the movie ^__^

Movie Review : New Moon

Synopsis from IMDB::
Bella Swan is still very much in love with vampire, Edward Cullen. The rest of the vampire coven who call themselves the Cullens, especially Alice, decide to throw Bella a private party for her eighteenth birthday. Things go wrong when Bella slices her finger and thirst overcomes the vampires. As a result of the danger Bella was put through, the Cullen family decide to leave Forks, Washington. At first Bella exempts herself from all social activities, until she realizes she can coexist with childhood friend, Jacob Black. As usual for Bella, things aren't what they seem. Something is happening to Jacob that he can't explain to Bella, and their friendship starts to deteriorate. But when someone from Bella's past comes back to haunt her, everything will change again.

It's the 2nd book(movie) from the Twilight saga... New moon is the most boring book in the saga(Consist of 4 books).. but at the same time, it also the book that intro us about the other characters... werewolf!

The movie follow the book very closely... but with much lesser details compare to the book! If I didn't read the book.. I will be abit confuse about the wolf gangs(they didn't say much... just wanna put out in the movie that they have werewolf in this saga! lolx)

The part where Bella dash and hug Edwards while trying to get him off the sunlight/crowds... they didn't explained really well too where Edwards thought he was dead and he was being with Bella and ects.... it just a blur of mess!

Oh and I also didn't feel any protection or how protective Edwards was over Bella when the 2 shadows come into the scene.

I'm abit disappointed with the Volturi gangs also...
In my mind.. I pic Aro to be much taller, skinner.. kinda like the scream guy (in the famous painting "The scream".. is that the name?)... lolx.. but I don't mind the movie Aro.. much classy~

But they didn't say much about Marcus and Caius.. I remember Marcus can see relationship among ppls/vampires and Caius can see the potential of a talent(If I didn't remember wrongly) ... what a waste, Oh and swan laughed... saying they are just some extra sitting behind! lolx

But Dakota Fanning was so pretty being Jane(she was perfect for the role. Only abit too grown up!!) And I just can't believe Dakota have become so beautiful!!

Oh one more thing... the movie version Jacob... oh boy, he was so puff up!! His man breast was abit scary! wahahahhaa... but his whole macho body does make the pale skinny Edwards look more gayish~ hahahahha

Anyway.. the 2nd movie was much better then the first... the cinematography was way better and it didn't cut out too much from the book (just some minior details here and there.. I think they will try to explain it well in Eclipse..)

Anyway... the movie pace was slow but in a comfortable speed(not too boring).. if they add in more details this would be a nice movie(But I guess it hard to put so much information in a 2hrs ++ movie!)

My Rating : 6/10

Drama review: 福氣又安康 (Easy Fortune Happy Life)

Title: 福氣又安康 (Fu Qi You An Kang)
Also known as: Easy Fortune Happy Life
Genre: Romance, comedy
Episodes: 17

Synopsis 
Yan Da Feng is a rich, arrogant, hot tempered, bad boy who refuses to honor his grandfather's wish to marry an ordinary country girl, Xie Fu An, who is studying herbal remedies with her grandmother. To get out of the marriage, he sends a killer to get rid of her. 


I finished this drama last month(I have been doing really slow on posting reviews.. I still have some movies to blog about! lolx)

Anyway this wasn't an intense drama.. it's really cute, a comedy(I would say).. the killing part not really that serious cos this accidently tie all the charaters in this drama together! The whole drama was surround by chinese herbs industry... so it's kinda refreshing. I don't really know what to say.. cos it really a very simple romance comedy... cheesy? Yes.. very! lolx ...

This was a fanmade mv.. the song wasn't in the OST! (But it suit the drama really well!)  
     My Rating: 8 /10

Movie review: I Hate Valentine's Day

Thank you Sus/Pat for recommending this movie!! I love it so much <3

Synopsis fr IMDB::
A love story set in Manhattan, where a florist who abides by a strict five-date-limit with any man finds herself wanting more with the new restaurateur in town.

Another lovely romance comedy by Nia Vardalos!! She is even cuter and funnier in this movie then "My life in Ruins"!!!!

Very light, funny, cheeky and romantic movie!! What not to love? lolx.. oh and John Corbett are really cute... being very blur at the dating rules set by Nia!! So cute.




My Rating: 8.9/10


I was kinda agree on her theory on not getting too involved and less hurt you will feel... I will like to put it this way "maybe I haven't meet the right person yet"! ^__^

Maybe I should go on date more often now.. rather then saying NO to those who ask me out!
It just that the idea of meeting and getting to know someone new... freak me out!
