I confess I enjoyed Confessions of a Shopaholic!

Owh….I’m definitely in the cloud nine….After 2 months of waiting, missed several preview (sob!sob! to know more feel free to read my previous post ) and finally got to catch my dream Becky comes alive….

10 scenes I love in Confessions of a Shopaholic!

I LURVE…:

1. The one when she rushed to the fridge, take a giant ice-cube, and started to hammered it with her high heels! & yes! There’s a credit card in there! (For in case of emergency…which obviously works..for shopping…!hehehhe) and she even got the hairdryer to meltdown the ice…! Hahahaha….That was SOOOO…..BECKY! (She’ll go beyond xtra mile to make shopping happens!)

2. “200 bucks for Marc & Jacob underwear?” “Underwear is a basic human right!” Cool!

3. “A man will never treat you as well as a store”

4. Living mannequins are so cool! It’s so cute when they persuade you to go inside the store…(See?! It’s not our fault to go shopping! It’s the spell by the mannequins!)

5. Denny & George Scarf in green colour calling her in… the mannequin become alive just to convinces her she can’t live without it! “The green scarf even makes your eyes look bigger… and your hair is prettier…!” Owh….. (the books describe best for this significance scene…)

6. She handed the 50 buck to the cashier and ONE card to swipe: “please charge 20 buck on this…” , another card “10 buck on this card…” and ANOTHER card, ” and another 10 buck on this….” (sounds familiar..?abg…plz…. shhhh…..! hehehe)

7. When she’s pretending she know Finnish (as a mother tongue of Finland) and met a bunch of them! But the most hilarious part was how she escaped the awkward moment! “Men like u are the reason why I left Finland!” Ouch! Hahahaha

Finnish? anyone?

8. It’s so sad when Luke walk out of her, and her best friend mad at her…luckily in the end she always have her loving parent to turn to…

9.It’s even more touching when she has to let go her green Denny & George scarf in an auction….  with all those memory as that was the one that bring her to Luke…

10.It’s so sweet and romantic how Luke finally tide up the scarf gently round her neck…. (Frankly, i found this is the only romantic scene, I’m afraid….)

Owh! How I love shopaholic! I love Rebecca Bloomwood (Becky)! I love Sophie Kinsella!

The truth is, I started hunting for the tickets yesterday, to my dissapoinment, there’s no midnite movie but we couldn’t buy the ticket early as Zul has a dinner tonite.

So, when Mira asked me today, I told her I cant confirm but I’m certainly going tonite, she told me the show was fully book! And the last show was on 9.40 at GSC as she checked them on the phone. Then when Zul confirm he’ll try to escape the dinner early,so, after work me,Mira and Nasir straight heading to Cineleisure.

But the thing is, I never expected for 9.30 pm show was both fully book there! (Shit! I know Hotfm are giving away free ticket but  2 theater room, mind you)

Just like an Amazing Race, we quickly went to One Utama, I’m almost running to the counter…and walla….! We got the ticket! (It’s 3rd from front, I dun mind at all for Shopaholic and to my surprised, Zul also managed to arrived on time!  thank you abg…ala..awak yg gelak terlebih kan…?suka kan? hehehe)

And it’s totally paid off to watch this fun & hilarious movie, however, dun expect the plot as the book exactly, which I dun mind some changes as I can still enjoy Becky character and her sense of shopping till you drop! (for her, it was!) and she always got lucky from the debt collector….Some people says it’s  too much to create such character..but believe me…there is BECKY out there…(and hello…!I’m not just talking bout women..k?)

All in all, we enjoy ourselves so much on this movie and..I’m definitely going to watch it again…(dgn siapa? heheheh…jadi hari isnin ker?)

Caution: THIS ISN’T A LOVE STORY OR A ROMANTIC COMEDY…its purely a SHOPAHOLIC MOVIE! Bear that in mind…n enjoy!

WACTHMEN Movie

Watchmen

Action : Partially (But that was awesome though!)

Thriller: No

Science Fiction : Yes

Humor : ONLY One or two

1. Rorschach: Don’t u know? I’m not stuck in here with you,but you stuck in here with me..! (he shouted at the rest of a prisoner after burn one man down)

2. Hey! What have you got in there? ( a prisoner threatening Rorschach from outside of the prison bar) and he replied : Your hands! ( as he cracked them both!) ~again…he’s d my only fav. character~

Soundtrack : Entertaining

Shot : Creative /Arty

Sound effect : Excellent

Storyline : Good

Costume : Cool

18sx : yes

Violent / Brutality : Very

To be frank, I’m quite disappointed… or is it because I’m having a hi expectation after watching the trailer? (coz I thought there is more action..or is it because of my seating? ~we sat 3rd row from front, we just can’t wait for late nite show yesterday!~ maybe it had effected my mind or my body that started to cramp or my visions getting blurry…ok enuf for now) And I think the intro was dragged too long, and i waited even longer for the battle to begins…

Yes! I had mentioned this isn’t a total action movie like X-Men, or any other commercialized superheroes, coz  they indeed are the philosophy superheroes (just a few are), they take pride for who they are or what ever consequences of their action: take Rorschach for instance, he rather die than live in an injustice world.

Rorschach

For that, don’t even bother to watch this movie if u dun want to crack ur head thinking what’s the rational behind what they were doing.

The movie is not bad after all, with a good storyline…but I hated the ending…(let it be a surprise) a better movie than The Spirit, (if you expect them are in a same genre) so dun put any expectation for this movie as to avoid disappointment…n enjoy!

Overall I give B++ for this movie, Zul give A as he was satisfied enough.
