Charlie St. Cloud Movie Review

It was really a touching yet romantic film starring Zac Efron(Charlie St. Cloud), Charlie Tahan(Samuel St. Cloud), Amanda Crew(Tess Carroll), Kim Basinger(Claire St. Cloud), Ray Liotta(Florio Ferrente), Donal Logue(Tink Weatherbee), Dave Franco(Sully) & Augustus Prew(Alistair). Based on Ben Sherwood's best-selling novel, The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud published in 2004 by Bantam Books. The film is directed by Burr Steers. The story is of Charlie St. Cloud's choice between keeping a promise he made to his brother, who died in a car accident, or going after the girl he loves.
It can be a great bonding session with the family as the film portrays how Charlie St. Cloud cherishes his brother and misses the time he spent together with him after his death when he gets a 2nd chance to survive and he could also see his closest friends' spirit after their deaths. He also saves Tess from being close to death when he manage to figure out that Tess is still alive.
   
Catch Charlie St. Cloud at the cinemas now! :)

映画review of "Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen"

Watched "Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen" gala premiere yesterday at Lido Orchard. It was AWESOME!! :D Thrilling, and my eyes was just glued to the movie screen. 

When the part Chen Zhen(Donnie Yen) has justice to save China from being taken over by Japanese gave me goosebumps. It was really respectable. At that time, I think many people would just surrender to the Japanese if not for justice Chen Zhen. As I myself loves history as it tells different stories from the past but are all facts and unchangeable, I love to watch movies that plays scenes like wars. It really comes to live again, and bringing a whole new change in the mind. There's also romance between Chen Zhen and Kiki. Really sweet. :)

Kiki(Shu Qi) is a spy sent by the Japanese army and being the hostess in Casablanca to know about the secret plans from the police and the Chinese to remove Japanese from invading China.

(Anthony Wong) is a rich business man who opens Casablanca and welcomes rich business men & women + Japanese high-rank soldiers will come to relax and enjoy themselves. He plays as a boss to Chen Zhen when Chen Zhen just entered Casablanca. He also invites Chen Zhen to be the partner of the whole business.


There's also a Chinese policeman (Huang Bo) at first who is a timid and coward when comes to capturing the criminals or doing missions and is a friend of Chen Zhen. But after seeing Chen Zhen fighting so hard to unite the Chinese together and removing & ending the Japanese plans from their country, he became courageous and outtalk his European boss in releasing the students to continue their calling of uniting the Chinese when an outbreak of fight had started as a spy from the Japanese release a gunshot.

It's really worth to ケン!! Do catch "Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen" on 23rd Sept 2010!! :D   こん艮!!

“Who would you like Charlie St. Cloud (Zac Efron) to choose – his brother or the girl he likes? And why?”

I think I would prefer Charlie St. Cloud to choose his brother as he's part of the family. Still no matter what family do come first before the girlfriend as he may not be together forever with the girlfriend. His brother would know him better than anyone, also closest to him. 

Catch Zac Efron in his new romantic movie Charlie St. Cloud, opening in cinemas September 30!

The Park & Latest Oct issue "SWEET"

Finally, finished my last paper today. :) Went to bugis for my "brunch", my favourite 'Yoshinoya'!! :) They had 2 new dishes "Tofu Beef rice" & "Tamoya Beef rice". I think so.. Tried out "Tamoya Beef rice" which is half cooked egg over the beef. kinda tasted yummy but still I dislike half cooked egg. :) After that headed to Kinokuniya, as it was reaaallll long since I last went.

 Checked out the Japanese magazines and guess what!! The latest Oct issue for "SWEET" has Ayumi Hamasaki on the cover!!

Really love Ayumi.♥

The magazine also comes with a free bag. :) The Oct issue is with "cher" shore bag, which is for summer time. :)

The packaging is really nice too. :)



Seen? it's really beautiful. :) Love the colours!! ♥ It's also quite big, able to fit all of my stuff in it. :D A new shoulder bag!! :)

After that, i headed to the park near my house to relax.

I was a little bored so decided to just cam-whore. :P

my new sneakers. since I last wore during CNY. :)

& Later as i headed home, still I took some pics. :) was so just in the mood.

Ladieslite' black romper. :) Wore it the 2nd time, really love it.



Alright, that's all~ :) Bye-bi~
