Post Depression ... Movie Marathon !

After Voon Choong's departure on Saturday morning, Dennis, Angeline and I decided to go for a movie in the same afternoon .... we went to watch Hairspray a musical comedy by a number of good stars such as John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Queen Latifah and many others. The story is about Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion, dancing. If you need a good laugh, then go for "Hairspray" cos, I am very sure that this musical is going to enlighten you like what it has done for me !

Sunday, 16 September 2007, another Movie Marathon Day ... this time we watched Knocked Up by two unknown stars; Seth Rogen as Ben Stone, and Katherine Heigl as Alison Scott. Ben is a 23-year-old slacker who is in the process of establishing fleshofthestars.com, a website that lists the exact moment in time at which nude scenes with famous actresses occur in films. Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl) is a responsible young woman who works behind the scenes at E! Television Network. After a drinking together one night, they had a one night stand. Eight weeks later, Alison begins feeling very sick and comes to the conclusion that she is pregnant, and she contacts Ben. She tells Ben that she is pregnant and that she has decided to keep the baby. The rest of th story is about how both of them learn to know each other and coping with her pregnancy. My rating on this movie is so, so only and only to be watched if you have extra time to kill !

Next, we watched The Brave One by Jodie Foster who acted as Erica Bain, a successful NYC Radio host with a loving fiance. But her world is shattered when she was brutally beaten and the love of her life is killed. When the police is unable to help her, Erica goes on a vigilante hunt on the city street to track down and revenge against the men who ruined her life. This is definitely a better movie to watch although it is a bit slow ....

Well, after those 3 movies within the two days, we all felt better !!! What to do, life needs to go on ....
