Prior to this we’ve only tried out Shaw Premiere Theatres and we feel that even though the chairs are newer here and the blankets feel cleaner, Shaw is better value for money. We hardly watch movies any more so while … Continue reading
Oblivion: Bored Out of My Mind
Tom Cruise has always been drawing point when it comes to movie selection, but lately I think he has made the wrong choices when it comes to roles. He seems to keep playing the same character but in different settings. … Continue reading

Revamped Shaw Lido Theatre: No More Mee Siam
Well, I guess it’s not that new, but I only recently checked it out. At first sight it looked much more pleasant but I quite miss the cheap local food options. We used to come here for Glory Mee Siam … Continue reading

Movies About Hope & Faith: Jeff Who Lives at Home & Salmon Fishing in The Yemen
Watched two movies recently. Jeff Who Lives at Home and Salmon Fishing in The Yemen. Both tell very different stories, but I found a similar theme of hope and faith. The slacker movie appealed to me a lot more. I … Continue reading

Adults will Love Pixar’s Brave and La Luna
Shared my thoughts about the movie Brave, plus other movies I’ve recently watched and liked. Merida has the best hair and accent ever. So different and so refreshing. Always felt that wild untamed hair needs to be appreciated more and … Continue reading

Moonrise Kingdom
Another wonderful movie I would recommend. Again, I greatly appreciate the loving attention to detail. Set in 1965, the musical score (Benjamin Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra) brought back memories. I think this must have been played both … Continue reading

Some Days this World is Hard to Fathom

My cousin was eager to watch Snow White & the Huntman, mainly for Charlize Theron and I have to say she stole the show as the Evil Stepmother. And it was a brilliant performance. There was a deep sorrow and … Continue reading

Double Down & The Avengers Movie
Just don’t do it. It’s not worth it. I mean the burger. The movie is a total yes even though I was bored by the first part. It got better and better as it progressed, apart from some irritating people … Continue reading

Emily Blunt was Charming as Young Queen Victoria
The NY Times didn’t give a positive review of the movie The Young Victoria, but I found it quite charming, especially Emily Blunt. Rupert Friend was sweet in the role of King Albert and the chemistry between the actors just … Continue reading

Singlish Movie: I Not Stupid 2
