Life can be quite interesting at times.....how friends get lost in contact and you only hear about them from others by word of mouth and how they get back into your circle again. My dear classmate from NYP whom stays near me and we used to go home together, after being lost in contact for so many years, we met again at IMH. The ironical part was she's the girl replacing me for the time being. Strange how things work out sometimes. It was really delightful to know that she's coming yet stressful to orientate her as she is so smart. A new challenge for me then!
So I caught Sex and the City with my cousin and Narnia with my cousinS....difference being that there are more cousins for the 2nd movie. Sex and the City was it's usual style....sex...woman talk...love...fashion....food. So I never like Carrie, but she's bearable in this movie, given the intensity of pain she has to go through. I do not like Charlotte either because life is simply too fairy tale for her. Sadly neither do I like Miranda....I still like Samantha the most...cause she's really funny and live life as she wants.
I love the fashion though, everyone is clad in such nice clothes, shoes and bags. Sometimes I wish I lead a life like that, wearing pretty stuff and strutting around. Then again, I'm too lazy to iron my clothes, so dreamy bubble is burst. It's M18 rated so don't expect to see too much nudity or sexual scenes (like how I was expecting it to be the same as how it was in Ozzie).
Somehow I got something from the movie, marriage is not just a fashion show or a good venue to host your dinner. I never like the idea of doing a banquet cause it's so troublesome and a waste of money, just for the show of it. I like the little notion that both of them got married quietly and just a nice meal with friends afterwards. But hello, not to the wedding dress though, I still want to be clad in one nice wedding dress just for momento.
Caught Narnia on Sunday. I think it's nicer than part 1 actually. Probably because the kids are more grown up...probably I didn't like watching only little children only? No idea. I disliked Prince Caspian though, just like how my cousins and I came to a conclusion, he's just an average prince, nothing more nothing less. I know, he's the main character and funnily, I always have an inkling for the non main characters...the supporting characters. I like Edward...King Edward...the little one with the black hair. The one that betrayed them in the 1st movie but learned his way. That's more humane isn't it? No one is perfect and goody all the time. Sometimes people go the wrong way and they learn from it....but the important thing is to remember what they learned....which Edward has learned and shown it in the 2nd movie.
And I so do not see why Susan kissed Caspian...given that he's just all brawns and little brains. Just like Edward said: "I'm much older than you (to Lucy) but yet I still do not understand". Ha, I do not understand either. Perhaps I'm being biased because I like Edward only.
You might ask, what about Peter....hmmmm he's just some young lad that is aggressively trying to prove himself....full of himself but needs someone to shatter his confidence a bit at times for him to learn. I was wondering is it because he can never come back to Narnia, that he has lost that child imagination and inclination that he couldn't see Azlan? Probably....it just tells me one thing...that sometimes when we get so grown up and persistent with some things, we lost what we are supposed to see.
In all, this is so not only a children and animal movie like how the reviews put it. If this is bad, then Golden Compass is simply crap. Ha, the little mouse looks like Puss in Boots from Shrek though and the trees reminded me of LOTR. But hey, it's a children story book...see it from the eyes of the child and don't think too adult like...and you will enjoy it instead of thinking it's crap. Remember, don't lose your childlike instincts at times.
