I'm In Love..... Once again

haha! Yes, I'm in love. But I won't say what I'm in love. haha!
Today decided to give myself a treat. Movie Buffet. I watched 3 movies. The Lake House, The Brothers Grimm and Take The Lead. Here's my verdict of the show
(DISCLAIMER: THESE ARE JUST PURELY MY PERSONAL COMMENT. IF YOU DON'T AGREE OR LIKE IT, I'M SORRY ABOUT IT! IT IS STILL JUST MY COMMENT)

The Lake House
Rating: 6/10

As I mentioned earlier on, I said I had watched a Korean version much earlier. This english version simply take the concept and the storyline is pretty much the same as the Korean one. It is about how this guy and lady met. But they lived 2 years apart. Their own form of contact was thru this mail box of this same house they are living in but in 2 different time zone. So the whole story develop and blah blah blah and they live happily ever after. However, I enjoyed the Korean one more. The Korean version was done in more arty way. If i didn't remember wrongly, there was less talking. The director was able to create this atmosphere where both parties are expecting for a reply from the other party. As a viewer, I too felt that feeling. It's like I'm part of the movie. However in the english version, that part of the story flow too fast. No chemistry. Haiz! What a pity. One good thing abt this version is the ending ended differently from the Korean version. At least the director didn't take whole-sale from the korean version.

Conclusion: Watch the Korean version.

The Brothers Grimm
Rating: 6/10

Hmmm.. B-Grade Horror-Comical Movie. Interesting story idea but the whole flow was like nothing much. No suspense, no thrill, no horror, no acting-skill, no romance.... Nothing! Honestly, to rate 6/10 is like doing injustice to my taste. As for the story, it's abt this 2 brothers who initially goes around cheating money by faking evil spirit in villages and then getting rid of them. Then the story develop till they really came to this village where the nearby forest is enchanted. Girls were being kidnapped and they were forced to go and save them from the evil witch-queen. Blah blah blah! So they saved them and it is a happy ending after all. Wow! I am lost for words.

Conclusion: Pay me the money! I will give you real horror and thrill.

Take The Lead
Rating: 8.5/10

This is such a great movie. Why did I totally miss it in the movie? I guess it didn't appeal to the mass. It is about this ball-room dance teacher who decided to go to this school and help this 'school-rejects' to turn over a new leaf thru dancing. Initially, it was hard becoz firstly the teenagers are hip-hop dancer and secondly, becoz they are seen as 'rejects', they do not have high self-esteem. So the teacher had a tough time but slowly he showed them the coolness of ballroom dancing and yet at the same time accepting their own culture and dance. Slowly they build this trust and friendship. They worked hard and picked up different types of ballroom dancing - Waltz, Tango, Salsa... Fantastic! Then the teacher sign them up for this ballroom dance competition. They did brilliantly at the competition - especially at one of the segment (can't remember if it's Salsa or Tango). Suppose to be a couple dance, they had a 2men-1lady dance. Very good idea though they didn't win but it was still very good. I guess it is more than just dancing. There was a moral to it. The teacher, who was under negative reaction from the parents, explained that his method of teaching is about teaching trust and respect. The guy leads the dance and the lady follows. The lady follow becoz she trust the guy and the guy also need to respect the lady. This is one cool and good movie not to miss especially those who love dance (for those pro, pls do not be too critical abt the dance movement and tactics and blah blah! it's just a movie! Enjoy it)

Conclusion: I am dancing all my way!

Well! As I have said earlier on, I am in love with....... dancing. Yeah! As I watch the movie, it really struck upon me. Life is just like a dance. God is the 'guy' who leads in the dance. And I am the 'lady' who simply just trust in Him and follow Him. Imagine if He leads and I simply just dance to my own rhythm and my moves. It's going to be a messy and ugly dance. But if I flow with Him, it's going to be my best dance(life). Something to think about. Personally, I love dance. I dun dare to say I'm a good dancer (especially i'm one who can't keep in beat) but I would love to dance. It's like freedom. Free to express yourself. Don't know how to explain lah but it's really real joy to dance. Maybe I shall go pick up ballroom dancing. Maybe continue with Salsa! Haha! YES! I AM IN LOVE WITH DANCING. But first need to lose more flabs. Kinda uncomfortable to dance with spare tyres. Haha! Talking about losing weight, I feel like bringing up my 3 cents worth of 'theory' on losing weight. Maybe not this entry. Another time. I LOVE DANCING! DANCING LOVE ME!
