And the 2011 Movies List Continues....

I had a weird dream last night.

I hit the sack right after writing my last post.
In my dream, I was sitting in cinema watching movies marathon.
Can't figure out what movies, though.
Come to think about it, I can't help but to feel creepy because usually I can barely remember my dreams the minute I wake up.
And suddenly I wanna watch Inception again.

However, I'm still in the mood to talk about 2011 movies!
How could I forget to put Burlesque and The Smurf in the list?!
And The Hangover Part II?
The Hangover is one of the most hilarious movies I've ever watched! It's pure entertainment!
And to add to comic-based movies, X-Men: First Class is coming out this year, too!
I am a huge fan of X-Men! Been watching its cartoons since I was a kid!
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo also sounds promising, might be watching it. On a second thought, should get the book and read it first. Books are always the better version.
And I could be watching Rango just because Johnny Depp is in it. Well, his voice, actually.

In addition to that, hot mommy Nana has reminded me of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 which is the final part of the saga.
Which somehow reminded me of Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 with unknown reason.
Don't think both movies have similarities anyhow.
I'm not really a fan of both productions but I always end up watching it either because my friends drag me along or there's no other movie to watch. Or I get free seats.

Gosh, so many great movies coming our way!
Too bad I don't know how to download movies from the Internet so guess I've to start saving up!
hahahaha!
Or just be more picky on my movies selection.
I know I've said this phrase over and over again but I just can't waaaaaaait!!!
=D


*grrrrreat news! Aimi has a copy of Black Swan. OMG need to copy from her pronto!*

The Movies of 2011!!

It's gonna be one awesome year!

Great movies are lining up to feast your eyes, ears mind, heart and almost every part of your body!
Okay, some may not be so great, which I won't anticipate that much but with Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides on the list, I truly wouldn't mind.

Black Swan. I so wanna watch this I could cry if it's not shown in Malaysian theaters. Everything is so late in Malaysia.

Another must watch movie is The Way Back, I've been waiting for this movie! Been reading only good stuff about it since last year. Can't wait!

We also have Vidal Sassoon The Movie this year which I don't expect to be shown in cinemas here. I'm excited for this movie. I've always loved biographical movies and Coco Before Chanel is still one of my favourites, not to mention Audrey Tatou is sexier than her French accent!

If you like cool, fighting movies, there's The Eagle which my first thought was another movie like A Knight's Tale, minus the sense of humour. Looks a lot like Troy, too. What I like most about period movies is the amazing costumes that they create to make the movies work. So that would only be the reason for me to watch The Eagle. And oh, yes, Channing Tatum is another reason but I honestly don't think he's cut for this movie. He just looked too cute and clean to be fighting in those armours and brush helmet. And Jamie Bell? He's my Billy Elliot and I want to keep it that way. Not sure if I'm gonna watch it though.
There's a similar movie, Thor, the god of thunder and the movie is based from the comic which I never read. Reminds me of The Lord of the Rings + Harry Potter + Tron + Clash of the Titans + Kingdom of Heaven.

Moving on to Hanna, now, watching the trailer reminds me an awful lot of Kick Ass. A young beautiful girl trained to face the "real world" with black belt tae kwon do and how to use multiple cool guns and machines. Anyway, I somehow kind of excited to watch Hanna just because of the gorgeous actors they have in the movies. Saoirse Ronan, Eric Bana, Cate Blanchett, Eric Bana, Eric Bana again. And again. That kid, Saoirse, has the most piercing eyes I've ever seen on anyone. Exquisite!

Next, Fast Five baby! It's the fifth installment of The Fast and Furious, and it's gonna be AWESOME! Can't wait to see what cars they're playing with this time.
And there's also Paul Walker so enough said.
*i'm giggling now*

Another eye candy? Let's watch Limitless. Bradley Cooper is HOT!
If you still can't get enough of pretty boys on screen, there Alex Pettyfer in I Am Number Four. There's also the sweet Diana Argon in it.
The Green Lantern. Never a fan of the comic but two words: Ryan Reynolds. And yeah, Blake Lively's in it, too.

We also have Kill the Irishman starring Val Kilmer and Christopher Walken. Seems like The Godfather but hey, NO amount of movies can top The Godfather. I am a big fan of the movies, thanks to my daddy and two brothers, I can even remember their infamous lines such as "keep your enemies closer" and of course "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse".
Anyway Kill the Irishman may bring back the mob movies. There's no mob movies in 2010 (Takers is so not a mob movie) so hopefully my brother downloads it because there's no way it's gonna be shown here.

Fancy a comedy? Your Highness looks hilarious!
Love the era, costumes, accent, Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel and James Franco!

Of course I wouldn't pass sappy movies. I'm a sucker for romantic scenes no matter how slow or cliche the storyline is!
Waiting For Forever (Rachel Bilson & Tom Sturridge) seems like a nice movie to reminisce our childhood crushes.
The Other Woman with Natalie Portman (she's everywhere in 2011!) is a possible tearjerker.
And I definitely wanna watch Somewhere, another Sofia Coppola movie which is a beautiful father-daughter drama.

Let's get to the movies that make me cringe just by watching their trailers.
First, Real Steel. Where should I even start? The robots? The boxing ring? The scene in which the robot and Hugh Jackman practice fighting? Seriously?! Leave it to the Transformers, people.
Even a hot-and-sweating Hugh Jackman can't make me watch this movie. Sorry mate.
The we have a psychopath thriller The Resident (Hilary Swank) which is about a woman moves into a new apartment and guess what? She has a stalker. So, nope, a big no no for me.
I can stand Texas Chainsaw Massacre but a stalker movie, even though the cute Lee Pace is co-acting, won't win my vote.
The Red Riding Hood? Nope. I love Amanda Seyfried a lot but the movie doesn't feel right.
Cowboys and Aliens? Bad combination. Totally.

Okay, so there goes my anticipated movies of 2011.
And not-so-anticipated ones.
But hey, these are based solely on my opinions and personal taste on movies.
It's a year full of action-packed movies so hold on tight to your seat and popcorn!
Have I told you 2011 is gonna be awesome??

*all pics googled*
*click on the movie titles for trailers*
*can someone tell me if we ever would watch Never Let Me Go in Malaysia? I can't find the DVD anywhere!*

Ricky Martin - The Best Thing About Me Is You =)

*credits to awesome Lin*

I just need to share this brilliant song with you!
Beautiful lyrics. Gorgeous singer. And Ricky Martin sounds sexier than ever baby!
Enjoy!

p/s- my favourite part of the song ;)
"Kick off your shoes, lay back, and take a load off
Give me your blues, let me love it away
Nothing to lose, so don’t act like such a grownup
Stay out all night in the moonlight with me

Don’t say no.
No, no. don’t say no.
Just say yes.
Come on and just say yes.
You know it’s time to keep it simple
Let’s take a chance and hope for the best

Life is short, so make it what you wanna
Make it good, don’t wait until mañana
I think I’m cool cause your name’s on this heart shaped tattoo.
Now the best thing about me is you"

I'm all smiling now! =)

Rabbit Hole

*pic googled*

My 'shop less' mantra seems to work after all.
Everytime I want to shop for anything, new released eyeliner for example, I'll ask myself first "Do I really need this?"
Usually the answer would be something like "Nope. I already have 2 not-yet-opened eyeliners at home"
But it's so blardy frustrating when the eyeliner is on sale and it's cheap!
The same goes to everything I wish to buy -handbag, eyeshadow, lip gloss, shoes...
And online shopping is sooooo not helping at all because everything is waaaay cheaper!
Argggh I should live in a cocoon & hibernate!
*hair-pulling*

Alessandra Ambrosio & family.
Gorgeous genes!

Before you take a swing I wonder, What are we fighting for?

Man it's already almost half month of January.

I fell really sick last two weeks. Like, really really sick.
It's definitely the worst fever I have ever had as long as I can remember.
I had viral fever and terrible headaches I went for blood check up.
Alhamdulillah it was nothing serious, could be because of lack of food nutrition and dehydration.
It may sound like a bad start for 2011 but I always look at glass half full.
Positive thinking is the key to survive in this harsh world.

Oh by the way I have few resolutions made up for 2011.
Hopefully I am determined enough to fulfill the list before next year.
So here goes, and it's not in any particular order.
First, to finish up my dissertation by March. By hook or whatever crook that may come, my dissertation has to finish in time. No way I'm gonna prolong this M.Ed anymore.
Second, to recycle, reduce and reuse a lot more. If I can't change the world, I better at least help others to change it and recycle is probably the easiest way to do it. I have already started to bring my own shopping bags to the malls. Trust me, small gestures can absolutely make a huge difference.
Third, to get employed and actually stick to it no matter how bad the office politic is. I have to admit being unemployed is really blissful, I can actually cook healthy food for my family and hop on the treadmill at any time. Not to mention I can spend fantastic time with my family especially my parents. My top choices of places to work would be around Selangor, KL and even Melaka. So hopefully this year someone would hire me.
*okay, maybe i need to submit my resume first. hohoho*
Fourth, I must control my income! My debit and credit thingy. I must save up for the future. Less shopping which seems impossible but I have started my "Shop less, save more" mantra. I must pay bills on time to avoid any extra cost. I must pay my study loan. God I sure have a lot to pay! Darn! I need a job!!!
Fifth, to look after my health and skin. Hey, I certainly don't get any younger this year. I should drink lots of water, eat junk food moderately, learn more about jamu, herbs and other nutrition and of course, exercise more. My metabolism rate has surely gone haywire at my age and it's frustrating.
Sixth, I want to move to London.
*bwahahahaha*
No, seriously. I really want to.

The ultimate resolution is just to appreciate more what I have in life right now. The world is ending at any time without us knowing it so it's better to live life to the fullest like we should. I must always remind myself to give all praises to Allah swt everyday.

So that's about it but my resolutions do not stop here. More to come. After all, it's only the beginning of 2011.
*my idea to move to London sounds insane, doesn't it?*"Each ton of recycled paper can save 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, and 4,000 kilowatts of energy." -quoted.
*fine. maybe not for a martini but you get the message, right?*
