Last Thursday night was the first day that the movie The Time Traveler’s Wife was showing in Singapore and Gelle and I were among the kiasu people who went to watch it that very night. We had both read the book (written by Audrey Niffenegger) months ago, the reason why we were so excited to […]

Yes, my Jackman-ia is not yet over, and I’ve spent the past days researching about him and downloading his pictures to use as my laptop’s wallpaper and watching his movies. I watched X-Men 1 and 2 online and found a DVD of Kate and Leopold in the library on the day I got retrenched. Let’s […]

Okay, so I complained that Hollywood movies are always delayed here in Singapore, but apparently that’s not true. Some movies do get shown the same day as the rest of the world, like X-Men Origins: Wolverine which I got to watch today. After the X-Men trio of movies, they’ve decided to make movies on the […]

I watched Taken in the cinema yesterday, and it was every bit as exciting as the reviews said it would be. The plot is familiar, an action film cliché, but it was great nevertheless, if you’re one of those people who know how to employ suspension of disbelief.

While I was working in Makati, I was at the moviehouse almost every week, always watching the latest movies on their first week out. There even came a point when friends of mine said that it was so hard to invite me to a movie because by the time they invited me, I had already […]

We watched Confessions of a Shopaholic last night. I know some people call this movie terrible and predictable and all that but I think that wouldn’t be fair; it wasn’t all that bad. I went in expecting a light, feel-good romantic comedy, the perfect movie for four girls to watch, and that’s what we got. […]

Not one in the group who eventually watched this movie actually wanted to. Chi and AA said they did not like dogs while Cate and Gelle thought it would be another typical corny dog flick. But since there was no better movie showing, we sort of had no choice. So we had dinner at Just […]

At the beginning of the year 2008, someone emailed a list of movies to watch out for. Right from the start, I got curious about The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and emailed my friends that this was the #1 movie I would watch out for in said list. Late last year, I found out […]

Singapore has a lot of cinemas that show a lot of different movies at a time, unlike in Metro Manila wherein Greenbelt may show the same movie in all 6 of its cinemas. Still, Singapore cinemas lose to Manila’s in that their Hollywood movies are shown late. Take Twilight, for example, which the rest of […]
