Completed my SIP report (finally. If i just simply collect dust by putting on my table, i will never forgive myself for it.) and hand it over to Mrs See. Oh thank goodness, she was there (and sai that i look good with my new spectacles on. ;0) ). At the same time, consulted Mrs Chan SK on how to eat X'mas ham and what to go with (cos honey glazed ham with cranberry sauce will be on the dinner table on X'mas eve.)
The rest of the time was to laze around at home. Watch Rice Rhapsody and see how hard Sylvia Chang and Martin Yan trying to play the role of Singaporeans, where it becomes a failure eventually.
Watched 3 trailers for 3 upcoming new films:
Derailed - Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston were both married to their respective spouse, but they had an affair, just like Bae Yong Jun and Soo Yee Jin in April Snow. The difference was: no road accidents involved, no weepy ending. Instead, you got Vincent Cassel who barged into their motel room, had Aniston raped, and robbed both of them. For fear of their exter-marital affair being exposed, both kept silent about the rape cum robbery. Instead, Cassel got hold on their secrets and threatened to expose their affair if they do not listen to him. As he goes near towards their family, Owen deiced to took the matter in his own hands...
Not your usual X'mas movie, where Swedish director Mikael Håfström turns the story from print to screen, and we have 2005's version of Fatal Attraction. While Glenn Close comes after Michael Douglas, threatening to kill him and his family, Anne Archer had her killed at the end. Seeing the poster of Derailed at Princess and Lido reminds me of the ending scene of Fatal Attraction, on how Close slashed Douglas, and was shot dead by Archer eventually. While Fatal Attraction is about how a one night pasta and sex ended up destroying a relationship, which eventually jeopardising the lives of a family, Derailed focused on a robber who bumped onto a couple having an affair, got hold of their secrets, and eventually destroying their lifes.
If you can't wait to see how Owen and Aniston ended up in the hands of Cassel, and how to free themselves out of this situation, go and rent Fatal Attraction as your warm up exercise first.
The Matador - An action comedy about Pierce Brosnan and Greg Kinnear plays a hitman and a salesman who had an encounter at a bar in New Mexico City. Think Once Upon A Time in Mexico, but in a comical version.
Brokeback Mountain - Ho Ho Ho !!! Santa Clause is dropping the highly anticipated arthouse fare by Ang Lee into the cinemas through the chimneys. But, only selected household will get to see the presents, cos this present is for adults only mah. Imagine 2 cowboys who developed a relationship from friendship to love, and still loved each other even though they are married with their respective girlfriends and bear kids.
However, it will not be here during X'mas. More rather, they will be here during, before or after CNY period. Not an ideal period for them to be played in the theatres, but it is always better to be late than never.
And...it is much more better than some crappy movies where a monk can fall in love with an alien, or a cheo bu who is trapped in between a slave who can run super fast, a general who is much much more older than her and a duke who can throw his fans around.
