The Art of Getting By Preview

From Sundance Film Festival 2011:


*It used to be called Homework but has changed to The Art of Getting By*.

I can't wait for this movie that is if the movie gets released in Singapore. I doubt so as imdb didn't state any release date for Singapore...I'm hopeful, though.

Stars Freddie Highmore, Emma Roberts.

For anyone who doesn't know who's Freddie is, he the cute kid from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", the twins from "The Spiderwick Chronicles" and the music prodigy from "August Rush".

Emma Roberts recently starred in Scre4m.


Here's a trailer and synopsis:

A lonely underachieving teen(Freddie Highmore) who is about to fail high school in the end of his senior year. He is befriended by his crush, a girl named Sally(Emma Roberts), but he is unable to express his feelings for her. His parents are fighting, and he must complete a year's worth of homework in a two week period or face expulsion.

Movie Marathon Review (Finally)

Finally...



I decided to review my Movie Marathon that happened in October 13th 2010. Believe me, I can still remember every detail of it!



This going to be a long post so I'll just go straight to Movies!



The 1st movie started at 6pm. It's Transformers. A movie I watched a few times but not too many. Fresh Rate 10/10 Movie Rate: 9/10



Oh, I forgot to mention, after every movie there's a 5minutes break, after every 3 movies, it's a 15-minutes break. And the break is really strict. When they say it 5mins it means your arse better be back in your seat at 4:59mins. No kidding. Some fella got eliminated during the 1st break for being a FEW seconds late.



2nd, 3rd and 4th movies were Transformers II, Iron Man and G.I Joe: Rise of the Cobra. With the exception of Transformers II, I never actually watched Iron Man nor G.I Joe before until then... Fresh Rate: 10/10 Movies Rate: 10/10



Next four movies are a bit of a torture and its a fourology(sp?). It's the Indiana Jones Saga. All 4 Movies from 3:19 am until 11:46am. Fresh Rate: 8/10 Movies Rate: 7/10



Up next, was Kungfu Panda! I would never have thought this movie was so interesting. It was very good! Fresh Rate: 8/10 Movie Rate: 10/10



Afterwards it was Evan Almighty. It's another awesome movie! It make me awake especially knowing what movie would be in store for me next... Fresh Rate: 8/10 Movie: 8/10



A trilogy of The Mummy! From 3:17pm to7:51pm. Surprisingly, it was good. Even the 3rd movie. Fresh rate: 8/10 Movie Rate: 8/10



War of the Worlds next! Never watched the movie. I was blown away with this movie! Though the ending doesn't make sense...I guess they just want to make it a happy ending... Fresh Rate: 8/10 Movie Rate: 10/10



Coraline, Timeline and Monster vs Aliens were up next. Coraline was above average. I don't really like animation but it was a good story. By the time Coraline ended, it was already Day 3! Movie Rate: 7/10. Timeline was, so far, the worst movie I've watched. I remember, after watching the movie, asking my friend Bryan, "What the eff was the movie about?" I zoned out about 80% of the time. Fresh Rate: 6/10 Movie: 3/10. Luckily, MVA rejuvenated my interest.



Mama Mia! was the last decent movie (Movie Rate 8/10) as the movies after that, (Hulk (2008) and StarDust) sucked. Fresh Rate: 5/10 Movies Rate: 5/10



Three cartoon movies in a row from 11:31am to 4:08pm. Madagascar I, Madagascar II and Over the Hedge. Refreshing movies throughout. Fresh Rate: 7/10 Movies Rate: 7/10



Another trilogy! Mission Impossible I, II, III. And all three movies, I can't seem to recognize Tom Cruise. He changed his looks in all three movies! Fresh Rate: 6/10 Movies Rate: 7/10



The Kite Runner next! Best movie ever! Never lose my concentration watching this! Even when it was more than 2hours long. Even when it was at 10:36pm until 12:43am. Fresh Rate: 7/10 Movie Rate: 10(11!)/10



Next two movie Sucked! Aeon Flux and Flushed Away. My God, I kept on opening and closing my eyes... Fresh Rate: 5/10 Movie Rate: 3/10



World Trade Center. This movie shall be known for Bryan as the movie that got him eliminated. From this movie forward, I was on my own... Enjoyable movie though although it was kind of draggy... Fresh Rate: 5/10 Movie Rate: 6/10



It's Saturday morning(the Sun came up) by the time World Trade Center ended. I had to endure The Tale of Desperaux (5/10), The Prince of Egypt(8/10) and Nanny McPhee(4/10). Tale of Desperaux was okay but I was kinda tired to watch properly. The Prince of Egypt was good. Nanny McPhee nearly got me eliminated. Fresh Rate: 4/10



Trilogy again! This time it's Shrek I, II and III. Enjoyable. Peaked my interest and refreshed me a bit. Movies Rate: 6/10 Fresh Rate: 4/10



Next comes the Big one. I mean MASSIVE. KING KONG!!! From 4:44pm to 7:51pm. Yes, that long. And after that movie. There were 10 people left in the Marathon. One of them was me! Movie Rate: 7/10 Fresh Rate: 4/10



At 7:56pm it's Twister. Suckish movie. Then at 9:54pm, its Van Helsing. I began to imagine myself in the movie and it was irritating as I kept leaning back so that I could "get out" of the movie. Movies Rate: 5/10 Fresh Rate: 3/10



Wild Child was synonymous with me being hallucinated. But, this wasn't the worst. Trust me.

Movie Rate: 5/10 Fresh Rate: 3/10



If I ever, and I mean ever, catch ThunderBirds, I swear I would break the TV set off! Why? that movie caused me 10k not because I slept, but I quitted the competition after I knew that my hallucinations were out of control. I seriously thought that the pool would splash to me and the rest and would flood the place! I even signalled my friends to hold their breaths! Yea... After I realized what I did, I just, like, asked for a cup of frappe. Drank it. Got up. And Left. Oh, and I was the 4th person left. Seriously.



So, I survived 80hours, 30minutes 11seconds. It was indeed a mean feat. I remember going in, thinking that I would leave by the 48hours mark. I did set a goal and that was to survive 80hours. And I did it. I accomplished it. I hoped to attend the Marathon again, and this time, I won't be quitting...I want to win it. :D

Iron Man II

You Say Goodbye I Say Hello



It's been like months since I last posted. Been busy with a lot of things...School, driving, writing and friends... Barely had enough for myself...

I don't know what to update...

Let's see, okay I'll review Iron Man 2



Iron Man 2 was Awesome...*SPOILERS* I effing can't wait for Thor to be released in May...Also, I bet Captain America will be "found" by S.H.E.I.L.D at the end of the Thor movie... Captain America should be found in Alaska... The 1st Avenger: Captain America(Iron Man should make a cameo here cause Tony Stark has his shield) will be released 2/3 months after Thor...A year later, The Avengers will be released... With Hulk, Iron Man, Nick Fury, Cpt. America, Thor, War Machine, Black Widow among other characters that have yet to be confirmed will part if the momentous film...

Good Luck Betty On The SuperNatural



I AM SO AMPED UP FOR THIS KICK ASS MOVIE!!!

Ugly Betty has finally ended...And when I mean ended mean *NO MORE*...I don't know why abc canceled this beautiful show!!! Oh well...The finale was not that great but not so bad too...It on par, to say the least...One thing that was a dissapointment was Betty and Daniel not getting together...The rest was quite fine...Though Amanda storyline including Justin were a bit rushed...

SuperNatural continues to mystify...Im so pissed that Adam died(again) after being resurrected by Castiel...Zach finally got killed by Dean...Only 4 episodes left...Don't worry there's season 6!!! Yay!!!




Good Luck Charlie is a new disney channel original series. It's an awesome show...More importantly, it's a normal family show...So, there's no wizards(of Waverly place), cruise(suite life), bands(JONAS, I'm In A Band, BigTimeRush,NBB), pop-stars(Victorious,Hannah Montana), "living the dream"-kind-of-show(Sonny With A Chance)...It's actually normal!!! Finally...Kinda like Lizzie McGuire with a baby...Must watch...

It's*NOT*Complicated To Review Dreams, Vampires and Tigers

So, it's like the last week of school holidays...It hurts writing the last sentence...



I'm on a movie marathon of sorts...I've watched like 5 movies this week already...And I have yet to watch Percy Jackson, Albino Farm, The Goods: Live hard Sell Hard and Adventureland...

Have Dreams, Will Travel


The best movie I watched so far has got to be Have Dreams Will travel(Dream It Out Loud)...It's really really too bad that this is an indie movie cause this movie was very very good...Stars Cayden Boyd(Sharkboy and Lavagirl), Anna Sophia Robb(Race To Witch Mountain) and Vil Kilmer.

It's Complicated


If you wanta hilarious movie, I recommend It's Complicated...1st off, the movie is niether complicated or disgusting(seeing Alec Baldwin and Meryl Streep getting it on is like seeing your parents getting it on) then again, I take it back...Its quite disgusting...I'm just joshing...Watching this movie makes me hungry too...I mean Meryl Streep's character is an awesome baker!!! Hmm chocolate fudge cake...

Wild Tigers I Have Known


Wild Tiger I Have Known is an indie movie...Again, never been release in Singapore...Awesome movie but it's kinda confusing to watch because the movie characters say a few lines...I mean it's more like a poetry than a movie...
Stars Malcolm Stumpf

Cirque du Freak: The Vampires Assistant


Cirque du Freak: The Vampires Assistant...Another awesome movie...Firstly, It's *NOT* Twilight! Must watch...
Stars John Reilly, Josh Hutcherson, Salma Hayek & Willem Dafoe


IMDB'ed the movies I reviewed for synopsis(better for you)...NXT Time, I'll probably either review my life...Or tv shows...
.

"I Love England"-Daniel Bryan
.

"You Are Like The Susan Boyle Of WWE"-The Miz to Daniel Bryan

Cassie:You did finish seventh grade, so I want to give it the way it deserves.
Ben: And you graduated from Harvard, right?
