Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I’m sorry that I do not speak J.K Rowling.I do not understand the big confusion about tongue twisting words like and.I do totally understand the term ‘Death Eaters’ ,simple English terms,’Severus Snape’Sirus a so its easily audible while ’snape’ is one syllabus so..anything more than Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore,aka Dumbledore(old Devon world for Bumblebee,which is rather cute),is a mouthful,and I need to spilt it out.

Tom Riddle is a good name.so r the Muggle and Ministry of Magic.
The kissing scenes and the teenage love exhuasted me,2.5 hrs,do we need to allocate time for that?Seriously,let Harry Potter be Harry Potter,classic one of its own.

Eventually,I wondered,what is Harry Potter movie about…the quest of the 3/7 Horcruxes or the Half Blood Prince?I found a lack of the coherency in the story.

of all the reviews,I have found this most useful,as it shows comparison between the book and the movie,and of coz I once again,exclaim,I do not speak J.K Rowling.

the general comments online
It’s a more mature magic than in previous Potter movies. Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and his buddies Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) have grown up a bit since we last saw them, and are now subject to the same raging hormones as any other 16-year-olds.

The most un-harry movie ever.
Star: 1.5/5 (mainly due to the visuals)rr

Duplicity

July 16, 2009


A wanabe movie,more like stupidicity

Imagine a movie with a dash of ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ at the beginning, ‘Wall Street’ without the greed,shot in ‘Ocean 11′ style (colours and music ) without the wittiness,but all in a rather relaxed(not humorous) play-back manner.Very much wanabe and very much wana inject the seriousiness in the movie,afterall what they managed to earn is peanuts and what they planned to earn is rather pitiful with regards of the grandeur of their scheme.I had mine in a cinema with 100% attention on it,on a weekday,not bad.However,it might be slightly confusing for those who intend to watch in a group and munch popcorns at home.Not a light-hearted show at all.

synopsis from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1135487/synopsis

Julia Roberts working for the CIA and Clive Owen working for MI6 play competing undercover corporate high level top secret business spies who may or may not be conning each other. The movie shows us what lenghts mega corporations will try and go to keep their new product information out of the hands of their competitors. The spys in this case will not even acknowledge their relationship as a sly parallel to regular relationships. The implication here is that most people do not say or trust themselves in relationships, but as spies Julia and Clive have good reason to be wary. Multi continent travels, many plot twists and counter twists follow. The music is light locations are beautiful and evokes the Ocean’s movies and fun is had by all even if you can’t always follow the plot.

This synopsis contains spoilers
Based on the books “Confessions of a Shopaholic” and “Shopaholic Takes Manhattan” by Sophie Kinsella. Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) is a 25 year old who lives with her best friend Suze (Krysten Ritter) in Suze’s flat (paying her friend rent that is well below market value), in a trendy part of town. Rebecca has a very boring job writing for a financial magazine. She has a shopping addiction and her crap job doesn’t pay enough. Her bills are piling up, so she tries cutting back (complete fiasco), then she tries making more money (another fiasco). Eventually, Becky discovers a story that she is truly invested in. Exposing the story gets the attention of a colleague that she hasn’t quite figured out yet. Some drama ensues as she snags the guy, and she attempts to pay off her ever-growing debt.

Zoolander

Zoolander

My friends and I were having a great time watching Confession of a Shopaholics,munching on birthday cakes and stuff,when we inserted another DVD in the famous Zoolander.While jokes were in the air,I could not really understand the great mystery about the Malaysian Prime Minister issues in the male modeling world

Ame: You wait and see..he is a Chinese?
Me:Anwar is a Chinese?
Shiling: Haiz,u missed the beginning
Me:Oki,the every changing Malaysia Prime Minister ,chances of being a chinese a high.

Finally,the Malaysia Prime Minister was a Chinese man in a yellow cheong fu,super Chinese,it was hilarious.

My favourite part of the show was at the end,where his dead 3 male models turned into fountains statues.It takes a sharp eye to notice but the rounding up was good.HILARIOUS!

plot summary
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0196229/plotsummary

But when evil fashion guru Mugato hires Zoolander, he thinks his life has turned back round again, that is until he finds out that Mugato has actually brainwashed him to kill the Prime Minister of Malaysia. Can Zoolander and his new friends find out how to prevent the incident before it’s too late? Written by FilmFanUK

By favourite quotes:

Maury Ballstein: What do we do when we fall off the horse?
Derek Zoolander: [thoughtfully looking up and mouthing the words silently] … fall off the horse…
Maury Ballstein: [looking to supply finish] … we… get back on!
Derek Zoolander: Sorry, Maury. I’m not a gymnast.

Stars:4.5/5 ( purely entertaining)

Comme une image

Characters:
Lolita Cassard-I seriously think that she is inflicting her physical insecurity on to everyone,she is the main character of the show and her emotions can really turns every helping heart into wraths.She is terrible even though she has a spontenously nice soul and a kind heart,her frequent mood swings and inferority complex is taking a toil on everyone.I know a person who is like that.The only good thing about my gf is that she tries to slim down but most of the time I assume that she thinks its her right of way after she has identified the cause of her emotional downswing.For example,XXXXXX ,I am offended.You wont understand me’
Getting a little personal here;no one will understand anyone fully,lets be thankful for the person who sincerely tried to help and not create more tension,soon no one will try to understand you.Identifying your own emotion is not a battle won ,changing perspective is one part of the battle , only by improving the situation will the battle be won.

The character(Lolita) in the story did not try to improve her own situation but to create more grudges.I do not like her at all.( Due the the close resemblance of the character and my gf,Lolita makes the show rather unbearable

Karine Cassard and Sylvia Millet-very positive wife ,very giving.I like them.
Étienne Cassard-Etienne has developed an immunity to Lolita’s endless complexes as he himself is a self-centred,blunt guy who treats Karine bluntly

Pierre Millet-a nice guy with a looser mindset ,he is gaining some recognition after he began mixing around with Étienne

Sebastian-One nice guy,reminds me of my gf’s husband,just that Sebastian is a nicer guy than my gf’s hubby

i shall not rate this show as I m getting quite personal here

Imagine Him


and Her


together,it will be just so PRICELESS

the official poster for the show

The dress that looks so good from the front

The dress that looks so good from the front

Exciting parts,strangely,there were parts when i felt excited,true excitement and anixety for the couple.

for trailer

for NG moments

The show is simple,somehow could be realistic, we could really go hoping for a guy(most probably old and rich) for grabs and spend so much dosh on you for a few days,no doubt the “Cinderalla’ dream is still there,sadly,it comes with good looks and hardwork.Apart from this,there are some parts of the show who I find unrealistic ,especially with the baggages that she carries as she moves hotel to hotel.Where is the truck that she had when she was with the white dress?The way they sneak out is incredibly frequent,i feel somehow excited for them,even though there is no big and exciting effects.Due to Irene’s materialism ,it is compared to Breakfast at Tiffany.Apart from the nice clothes and the pretty face.My favourite line was Irene asking Jean for the time ,he replied ‘9 diamants et quart’.That moment was sheer apt,I like the way the show is PRICELESS!!

je voudrais…je aimerais…
to watch again!

Le Papillon

Le Papillon (The Butterfly) French lyrics

Pourquoi les poules pondent des oeufs?
Pour que les oeufs fassent des poules.
Pourquoi les amoureux s’embrassent?
C’est pour que les pigeons roucoulent.
Pourquoi les jolies fleurs se fanent?
Parce que ça fait partie du charme.
Pourquoi le diable et le bon Dieu?
C’est pour faire parler les curieux.

Pourquoi le feu brûle le bois?
C’est pour bien réchauffer nos coeurs.
Pourquoi la mer se retire?
C’est pour qu’on lui dise Encore.
Pourquoi le soleil disparaît?
Pour l’autre partie du décor.
Pourquoi le diable et le bon Dieu?
C’est pour faire parler les curieux.

Pourquoi le loup mange l’agneau?
Parce qu’il faut bien se nourrir.
Pourquoi le lièvre et la tortue?
Parce que rien ne sert de courir.
Pourquoi les anges ont-ils des ailes?
Pour nous faire croire au Père Noël.
Pourquoi le diable et le bon Dieu?
C’est pour faire parler les curieux.

Ca t’a plu, le petit voyage?
Ah oui beaucoup!
Vous avez vu des belles choses?
J’aurais bien voulu voir des sauterelles
Des sauterelles ? Pourquoi des sauterelles ?
Et des libellules aussi,
A la prochaine fois, d’accord.
D’accord.

Je peux te demander quelque chose?
Quoi encore?
On continue mais cette fois-ci c’est toi qui chantes.
Pas question.
S’il te plait.
Non, mais non.
Allez, c’est le dernier couplet.
Tu ne crois pas que tu pousses un peu le bouchon?

Pourquoi notre coeur fait tic-tac?
Parce que la pluie fait flic flac.
Pourquoi le temps passe si vite?
Parce que le vent lui rend visite.
Pourquoi tu me prends par la main?
Parce qu’avec toi je suis bien.
Pourquoi le diable et le bon Dieu?
C’est pour faire parler les curieux.

Love the show to bites,I actually watched it without the subtitles. :( However,its nice in a way as it trains my ears.The girl is superbly cute!

When they were just friends,I love how they develop their feelings for each other

The best part of the show is how Franck is willing to be in an emotional relationship with Camille despite her being defensive.I also like the role of Philibert,he is quite a rare gem,still stuck in the era of the previous century.Nice guy who ended up with the girl that he likes!
On the whole a simple happy-ending plot with nice dialogues.A heart-warming, modern story,not stunningly impressive.As the setting of the show is rather calming and homely,it is definately worth watching it for the second time on a DVD at the comfort of your couch in ur PJs .Perfect for a stay-in !
Just skip the cinema and save your dosh!
