Say what you like about American Idol, but at least you know that those who go the distance – and even some who don’t – can really sing. There’s probably no better crash course in singing and live performance in all of Hollywood, so it’s no wonder so many of those who have graduated with [...]
The premise is interesting enough: sometime in the future, people can buy mechanical organs for a hefty sum – no more organ donor lists – when their God-given ones fail. It’s a lifesaver, until they can’t fork out the cash for the instalments. When that happens, often in the dead of the night, the boogeyman [...]
If everybody told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, wouldn’t the world be a much better place? I could say yes, except I’d be lying. We don’t realise how many lies we are exposed to everyday, how many half-truths we tell, how many (honest) remarks we keep to ourselves. Or maybe [...]
I’m not usually a fan of war films but for The Hurt Locker, I’ll make an exception. Hubby and my brother-in-law told me they found it really slow at some points so maybe that helped keep my expectations in check a little bit, but I thought it was a great movie. And I didn’t think [...]
Sandra Bullock goes blonde to play Leigh Anne Tuohy, a woman who welcomes a homeless African-American teenager named Michael “Big Mike” Oher into her home, takes him under her wing and makes him part of her family. Michael goes on to become a successful professional American football player (it’s a true story) and Sandra goes [...]
Being neither Team Edward nor Team Jacob (that is what they call them, yes?), I actually didn’t plan on watching this. I saw Twilight but that was on DVD and way after all the initial hype had come and gone. I remember thinking how amazing it was that such a mediocre film could incite such [...]
So I know Gubra was released last year and this is way past its use-by date, but I only just managed to watch it last weekend. And I loved it! I think I was in the mood for it, it might be one of those films like The Life of Brian, which J and I [...]
New on my screen:
Nip/Tuck
Highly recommended for:
Those looking for a good dose of plastic surgery and its ensuing politics, ethical dilemmas and gory procedures, with plenty of bed/bathroom stall/office desk action thrown in.
Not recommended for:
Those still on their moral high horse, have weak stomachs, faint at the [...]
I finally saw the most eagerly-awaited epic of the year last night. I liked it better than I thought I would, and it had absolutely nothing to do with Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom and Eric Bana. Even if Eric Bana looked pretty darn good.
Pretty boys aside, there were some pretty impressive scenes in [...]
Episode 2 has come and gone, and I haven’t said a word. Unusual? Perhaps. But the message couldn’t be clearer – there’s nothing really worth writing about. I must say I totally didn’t know what to expect. On the one hand, it’s the Idol franchise, done by 8TV – who’s trying everything and anything [...]
