Movie Update....

It has been a super long time since I have caught a movie... I think the last time I caught a movie was about 3 weeks ago.... or so... haha!! yup... you are probably rolling your eyes at the 3 weeks... Hey!! 3 weeks is long for me... I usually catch a movie every single week. So it has been like a movie draught.... had so many movies i wanted to catch... Shrek 3, Fantastic 4, 200 pound beauty, ocean's 13 etc.....

So finally yesterday I managed to catch 2 movies back to back.. would have caught 3 if the movie timing was right.... but oh well.. 2 is better than 1... haha!!

Didnt bother watching Shrek after all coz everyone I know who watched it said it wasnt worth the effort, money or time... Ooops... might have insulted some ppl...

Anyway... So what did I watch? First up, 200 Pound Beauty....

The gist of the storyline was actually ugly fat but talented(voice over) girl falls in love with handsome music producer, got her heart broken, nearly killed herself, then decided to go for a total full body plastic surgery, came out looking hot!! Then crosses path with the same music producer again this time as a talented and beautiful girl, gets signed on as a singer... somewhere down the road, guy falls for her.. then realized she is the fat ugly girl, is repulsed... broke her heart again... she confesses to the world she is a fake (her marketing gimmick is that she is all natural), shocks everyone.. told her sob story, everyone symphatizes then everyone forgives her... becomes extremely popular... guy falls in love with her all over again for the right reasons this time...

How I rate this movie..... hmm.... 3 stars or maybe throw in another half coz i cried at the end when she confessed...

Not too bad a movie to watch..quite entertaining at times... goes to show that in this world we live in, everyone is judged at face value first... Storyline is quite a well-used theme... just with a different concept... but at the end of it all.. the good always wins at the end... :) One thing I do appreciate is that they did not portray plastic surgery to be the answer to all woes... at the end of the day, there is only that much plastic surgery can do... you still need to exercise to get where you want to be... it still does take effort... albeit less with the aid of plastic surgery... It has a touching ending and a few endearing moments.... If you are looking for a movie you will enjoy yourself watching, this should be it...

Second round... Ocean's 13....

Story line? As its poster says... It is all about revenge... One of their partners got conned by this big hotel/casino mogul which ended up giving him a heart attack and got everyone else angry and so they decided to avenge him... So basically they managed to find out everything and anything about how the hotel and casino runs... how to rig everything so that Bank (the hotel/owner name) will loose a huge sum of money....running into the hundreds of millions...

How I rate this movie? about a 3 and half stars as well I think...

It is an interesting show... I think the tactics used in this one is a bit more interesting than the ones in Ocean's 12... but that is my opinion.. It is great how as friends they all come together, pooled their own money just to seek revenge for a good friend... plus they did all that without actually having any financial gains except for the diamond necklaces.. (well they do need some compensation right?)... and they made some really lucky bystanders instant millionaires... :D The hotel itself was a fantastic infrastructure... wonder whether it really exist? Anyone knows? Not forgetting there is also George Clooney and Brad Pitt to drool over...

Overall an OK show to watch.... not too bad... but me being me, it would be diffficult for me to find a movie which I was fully 100% recommend... watched too many movies... makes everything seem so so only unless it really was a damn good movie...
