Hey Bumblebee, You Can’t Fly!

Watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I saw one review saying that it was a bad bad terrible movie, rather than wasting money you’d better watch it in the living room with people playing cans fighting in the background for the sound effect. Well flip the coin, ’cause I’m on the other side.

The movie was.. 2 hours something, that long. But well worth it. Shia Leboeuf has grown to be a fine young man. Megan Fox is hot hot hot.. I am so jealous of the way her body and face are assembled :p Lovely locations – been there – some nostalgic excitement. Thrilling fights of the steel vehicles slash giant robots – somewhat too much that one day I felt like listening to junks fighting.

The only drawback, there wasn’t enough of Tyrese Gibson.. Why?? This guy is a brilliant entertainer!!

Yesterday was the premiere of My Sister’s Keeper. Today I saw some headlines that Abigail Breslin really soars. Yay! She’s the reason why I want to see that movie.

Peacock Day & 123

I went to the movie yesterday to see The Taking of Pelham 123. Great movie, I totally recommend it! John Travolta was so good at playing the bad guy. Hated him almost as much as I hated Heath Ledger’s Joker. Denzel Washington’s acting wasn’t challenged very much. He spoke most of the time, revealing his sexy voice – and handsome feature for all the close ups.

Anyways I put on my Delft paint pot yesterday and kinda surprised to see it turned kinda teal on my lids. I thought it’d be dark, grey-ish blue. And it has golden glitter on it too. Very nice though.

And the eye make up matched my peacock top xD

MTV Movie Awards 2009

First of all, let me say Andy Samberg was the perfect host for the night. He was good looking, he was funny, and so entertaining.

Congrats to Twilight and the cast who stole the show last night with a bunch of awards and highlights. New Moon’s official trailer is out on youtube, everybody!!

Here’s several fashion peeks of last night’s show.

Of all, my favorite was Ashley Tisdale’s little purple dress. The dress was so subtle yet flattering and with the shoes too. She looked cool, yet pretty and sophisticated. And that ring on her middle finger is to die for!

Despite what Kristen Stewart wore last night, I’m still a fan of hers. Her dress was awful, she looked like she was trying to be Mrs Spider Man and failing. And what’s with the shoes? She probably didn’t care about how she looked or how she was supposed to dress. But hello, weren’t the celebs supposed to work with stylists for the night? If she was looking for comfyness she could go with a pair of Keds or something, they make a really pretty pair. Last but not least, she looked like she just got out of bed with hair like that.

Leighton Meester was soooo pretty. I wasn’t really a fan of her dress, my first impression was it looked a little trashy – especially on the shoulder and upper arm. But then I thought the cut on the front was smart. Or maybe because it was Leighton Meester. 50-50 I’d say.

I like Vanessa Hudgens’ flowy orange dress. I am normally not a fan of orange but hers was a cool electric orange. I love the length and the cut that allowed shoes showing. But if I were to wear the dress, since I am also petite, I would tighten the tummy part a little to define the waist.

HSM 3

Having spent a week begging my husband to see High School Musical 3, he finally said yes at Halloween. It was a quiet night as we were both tired – me jetlag and husband just got back from Fort Mac. And we figured the film would be as well quiet as the people have all gone off to Halloween parties, including the kids who were trick or treating.

It was a thumbdown at first.. I just couldn’t relate what the characters were doing, what they were saying and what they were singing. Or maybe it was just a little too ‘high school’ for me. No arguments but I watch High School musical because of the magic word “musical”.

As I got a little carried away with the boredom, the plots started to pick up. The film went back to its usual line.. with the piano lady being the music writer for the stars and the mean girl trying to steal the show – like always, the music and energy that liven up the show.

Furthermore, I LOVE how Kenny Ortega brought up two very new characters – as the juniors – that he slipped right in , among the other main casts. Not my favorite characters but in the end they’re the ones I still remember against all odds.

Almost shed my tear in the end – remind me of high school time.. but this was a stepdown from HSM 1 & 2. Worth to watch but don’t expect too much..

TIFF & Its Fashion

Ahh I wish I lived in Toronto. I could’ve worked for Toronto International Film Festival,or at least attend the fest.

I watched the news today and some familiar faces (thanks to big screen) appeared: Anne Hathaway, Sandra Oh, Rachel McAdams, Jennifer Aniston (oh how I heart her) and Kate Beckinsale.

Of course, they are not the only ones.. Gerard Depardieu, Alessandro Nivola, Rose McGowan, Kristin Scott Thomas, Jim Sturgess, Mark Ruffalo, Ethan Hawke, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Kevin Zegers, Benicio del Toro, Amanda Peet, Scott Speedman and many more.. Even Paris Hilton (surprisingly!!) and Amberley Thiessen (Canadian Idol top something) were there..

As a festival of glamor took place, attention went to the outfit of the ladies. Surely the men wore designers’ garment.. but since all men outfit look the same, there was no big deal about that.. Honestly, do you remember what Daniel Day-Lewis was wearing when he won the Oscar last year vs Halle Berry’s dress when she won 6 years ago? Men never have best suit while there’s always best dress for the ladies. Halle Berry was one of them. She wore gorgeous dress by Elie Saab.

Anywhoo, back to topic. This year, all eyes are on Rose McGowan’s shoes and Kate Beckinsale’s dress. I didn’t notice how short McGowan was (oh yeah I am not that tall either, lol) until I saw these shoes. Apparently she’s only 5′4″and with these heels I think she turned to 5′7″. Nice try..

As for Kate, she won the best dress chosen by the media. Look at this beautiful baby doll dress with a little frock.

See the cute details: Roses embroidery and big mirrored beads. Plus a pair of metallic pumps to complement the dress. Stunning!!

Guess who designed it? Elie Saab!! Yyyeeeapp, it’s the same designer that created 2002’s Oscar Winner’s dress. Saab is just waaaayy too brilliant..

I Don’t Want to Live in GC*

I left the theater with goosebumps and pounding hearts. I can’t imagine living in a city of terror. Right, there’s a hero that can fly, a hero with several kinds of vehicles, all with the latest technology that does not even exist in real world, a hero that will come anytime there’s destruction, a hero that will always leave the city in peace at the end of the day.

This villain.. is unpredictable. Clown face, sickening voice, crazy minds. You could be the next target even though you haven’t done anything wrong.. or it could be one of your family members.. murdered in a sick and frightening way. I don’t want to live in Gotham City.

I finally got to see Batman: the Dark Knight. It was frickening!! Not to mention they were showing some thrilling trailers before the movie even began: Watchmen and the Day the Earth Stood Still. The darkness began..

The movie was GREAT!! It got a little more in the end and made me think, “what a GREAT script!!”. It all started with actions and the actions continued.. Weapons, murders, blood, explosions.. The sound systems made me petrified. On the cartoon series they show an explosion shape with text written on it such as BANG, DANG, BUMP.. but this.. my ears and my heart couldn’t take it. My pop corn and coke were kind of a waste.. I didn’t finish them (I brought the coke home though, lol) because I was busy covering both my eyes and ears, not too mention I was tossing and turning in my seat (it annoyed people around me, myself too, especially when the seat was squeaking every time I moved).

I tried to ignore the fact that I know that the Joker was the late “Heath Ledger” (surely you’ve heard what happened), that actually came up with a little sympathy. From my point of view, the Joker was good.. Come to think of it, I kinda compared him to Jack Sparrow because they’re the unusual human being in the movie. I could say that the Joker was great, because behind that, Heath Ledger actually came up with several ideas on how to make the Joker very disturbing and he did it.. If I didn’t link film to the fact, I would’ve probably hated him more than anything.

The only drawback was, the movie was a little too long for a thrilling action movie that I started to laugh at myself on how pathetic I was..

Awards?? I am not sure if the Ledger SHOULD get an award. He deserves it though, don’t get me wrong.. but there are many other actors that are also doing VERY good. The film itself, SHOULD get an award.. ’cause I enjoyed it so much and a few hours later, the eerie feeling still creeps on my shoulders.

I quote from the Joker’s tag line, “You die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain”.

*GC stands for Gotham City
