Shanghai

Yes Shanghai here I come!

I did not plan any detail travel plans for Shanghai trip. I shall take anything that comes in my way and have randomness in my blood!

Pray for me that I will make it out alive!

Good Luck Chuck

A new movie out in town soon.

It about a dentist who in every other girls eye is a good luck charm. Any gals who sleep with him and date another man will get marry, so the story goes. And back to basic which lady does not want to get marry? Almost everyone wants to get marry. So all the ladies(I mean every kind of ladies) willingly throw themselves into this arm just to have a, how should I put it a "quickie" with him. Warning! in this part of the film lot of nudity are flash across that gigantic screen.(That why it R21 and not NC16)

Now here comes a sweet clumsy but beautiful gal(Jessica Alba) into Chuck's life. To Chuck that is love at first sight and he tries all means to get to her. The courtship is where all the laughter starts coming in. The part where she sends those sharp tools into Chuck back was a good laugh. But the rest of the laughs can be anticipated so it not that very funny compare to Hitch.

Just a personal view, why does Jessica Alba partake in this movie. I mean even if she does not bare her asset but it feels like a soft porn to me with laugh that is.

This will not be a good first date movie. It not a wise move, you rather bet your first date money on StarDust.

StarDust the Novel Vs The Movie

Just finished the short novel. As expected there are more characters in the book compared to the movie.


~Spoiler ahead for movie goers~

The big difference in the book and the movies are

Captain Shakespeare plays only a small part in book(about 3 pages), the movie took it farther and developed the character and giving him a name. Which I enjoy watching.

The candle was not given by Trsitran's Mom based on the Novel but the little hairy man which also tied the knot b/w Tristran Father and Mother.

The Witch Queen did not die in the novel. She did not hunt down the star for the star heart no longer belongs to her as she has given it away. Therefore, there is no need to hunt down the star anymore. Good for a children book. However, in the big screen we need the villain and their diabolic way to makes thing interesting.

Something I did not expect from the end in the Novel was that Tristran and Yvaine did not have children in the end. For Yvaine was not able to have one due to her being a star(why?) and she out live Tristran in the end. She rule the land after Tristran left the world. A Sad quiet ending for my part. Luckily, the movie ending was much blissful than the book.

Now I just borrow the Golden Compass to read and I'll be catching that movie in Dec!

The begining of my Break

Finally my long break has arrived!

Think that should be enough for now
