Lunar New Year Babies 2008
I spent the entire Lunar New Year weekend at my friends' houses. Notice the emphasis on the different locations. My friends have a Lunar New year tradition of playing games that tend to involve a lot of exchanges in colored papers. We would rotate the destination so that the previous house would have a chance to clean up. Not much of a gamer (I prefer outdoor games), I was bored for the first couple of days. Fortunately, I brought my camera on the last date and was able to capture a few precious moments.
27 Dresses
I'm thrilled that my first movie review is wedding related. If you were to ask, what was I doing in this "chick flick?" I would answer, "It's for research." Truthfully, the reason my friends and I went to the theater was to see "Cloverfield." There were showings at 8:00pm and one at 9:15pm. We all chose the later viewing because we have not eaten and wanted to have enough time to wait, order and eat at a nearby Malaysian fusion restaurant, Coconut Grove. It turned out, we finished our meal very quickly at ended up in the the Cinema house at 8:30pm. Since we bought our tickets before dinner, we decided to enter the movie early rather waiting outside in the 40 Degree rainy weather. We did what all bored audience would do, enter another movie for a sneak peek. Since "Cloverfield" is in the "GUY" category, we let the ladies choose the title.
Naturally, they dragged the guys in "27 Dresses." After of 30 minutes of viewing, we were hooked but had to leave to see out primary objective. After 1:30 hours of dizzling, mind-blowing, handy-cam cinematography, we exited theater 20 and looking to see if there was a late showing of the chick flick. Bingo! We caught another showing right on the exact moment we walked out on it earlier. I think we were meant to see the movie on this particular night. to see the movie on this particular night. Part of the charm of "27 Dresses" is the refreshing chemistry between Katherine Heigl (Gross Anatomy fame)who plays Jane and James Marsden (AKA Cyclop from X-MEN), who plays Kevin. There were many sprinkles of laughs in between really cliches-ish script that follows many past romantic comedy formulas. The actors are verygood to the eyes. There is no true villian. The closest thing to an antagonist is Jane's spoiled sister,Tess (Malin Akerman). In the end, the true success of a chick flick is based on the response by the male audience. Most of the out-loud laughter I'd mentioned earlier was from the testosterone side of the equation. Overall,the movie is very entertaining movie and I would recommend it to friends. As I photographer,I did learn nothing about the wedding business from the movie.
RATING: 3 (of 4) flash cards
