angels and demons day

Another movie adaptation of one my favourite books and among Dan Brown's. Actually I'm kind of hoping before I watched this movie that the movie will stick true to the book unlike what they did with The Da Vinci Code. I watched the movie with Jenefer last Sunday after we had our early lunch. We arrived at the movie house with just few minutes to spare so we forgot to take pictures with the movie poster, hehehe! Anyway, I really enjoyed the movie and I believe that Jenefer did, too. Directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks, Ayelet Zurer and Ewan McGregor the movie took in about US$48 million in it's first weekend release.

x-men origins: wolverine (again...)

YES!!! I spent most of my morning yesterday with Enov and the afternoon watching X-Men Origins Wolverine. After having my lunch at KFC, I spent the remaining time before the show starts by looking for a Ken doll that I owe my niece, Althea, as a birthday present. The show started around 2 in the afternoon and finished before 4. The movie's GREAT!!! Hugh is AWESOME (with or without his shirt on,hehehe)!!! The effects are fantastic! The movie has heart and I can't help to be teary-eyed for few times...the character of Wolverine really fits Hugh. The UA Cinema House 1 in Shatin was very full...even the seats nearest to the screen were occupied...whew! Good thing I purchased my ticket 3 hours before the screening time. Now, I'll just wait for the DVD release of this movie. This action prequel made an impressive US$87 million in its opening weekend making it the second highest-grossing X-men movie following the X2:X-men United. 5 STARS for Hugh and for this film!

the inkheart trilogy

I do love the smell of new books! My new Inkheart Trilogy boxed-set arrived yesterday!!! Yehey!!! Sometimes when I read books I will suddently think what if the characters from the book I am reading will come into life. In Inkheart, Mo Silvertongue has the ability to bring characters from the books into our world by reading out loud. Whew! I red Inkheart and Inkspell few years ago and I am so excited to start reading the Inkdeath. Another addition to my collection.
