Monsters, rejoice! Mama Monster is back and she’s expecting her lil’ monsters to put their paws up and applaud for her or themselves, or both. (Never mind…)
Yes, yes, Lady Gaga is back with an electrifying bang with “Applause”. Let me talk about the song first.
If Siti can describe this week’s episode of Teen Wolf in one word, it will be pain. Pain in a good way though. Not in the “well this episode sucks” because Teen Wolf has improved so much through the season and this season is definitely more gritty and dark and I absolutely love it.
Onward to my review…
Surprise! Siti does a review on a horror movie, which she gave a warning about weeks earlier. Yes, everyone, it’s The Conjuring. But this review is going to be slightly different only because I didn’t watch the whole movie. I just came upon it when I was doing my rounds of Eid visits. Yes, I’m a Muslim and we’re currently celebrating the break of fasting month. So, briefly, here in Singapore, we will visit our relatives’ houses, eat, gossip a lot and then seek forgiveness. Anyway, so one of my relatives was playing the movie and we ended up watching it. But we left halfway through the movie or so. But I decided to still write a review of sorts about it since, well, I did watch it and got a gist of it from what I have watched through the gaps between my fingers.
Dear Jeff Davis,
Why do you want to make Stiles cry? And to top it all off, both Stiles AND Scott crying? Why do you want to hurt me so? What have I done to you in my past life for you to do so?
Sincerely,
The Siti That Never Sleeps
I had to breathe in and out for 5 minutes before posting my review for the latest episode of Teen Wolf. Right after I was done watching the episode, I literally curled up on the floor, clutching my Captain American plushie and slamming my fist on the floor, screaming: “Why, Jeff Davis, why?”
Review under the cut because of pain…
In light of news that Avicii is teaming up with one of my favourite artists, Adam Lambert, today’s Music To Your Ears will be going to…
Yes, Avicii’s “Wake Me Up”!
The Addams Family musical came to our shores and of course, being a musical fan that I am, I took the opportunity to watch it last night with three of my friends before it ends its run tonight.
Let me first just begin by saying that the experience of watching a musical/stage play includes the venue where the musical/stage play is held and Resorts World Sentosa’s Festive Grand Theatre is actually pretty nice. For a fifth row seat, the price is way lower than that of a fifth row seat at the Marina Bay Sands’ MasterCard Theatre. There was also no one patrolling up and down the steps of the theatre before the show telling the patrons not to take photos of each other and/or the stage unlike that of the other theatre mentioned, which can get really annoying. Audience of a musical/stage play usually pretty much know how to behave in this setting so “babysitting” the patrons can really get on their nerves. There is a difference between giving great service and babysitting us. So, the experience in the venue was a good one for me as it was my first time there.
I’m having a huge headache right now after getting less than 4 hours of sleep. (I shall put the blame on a 49k-word fanfiction that I read.) But I decided that I shall write a review of The Wolverine that I watched earlier before I forget what the entire movie was all about, which would be possible due to its stale plot.
There are now two Wolverine movies that I could think of so what makes this one different from the other Wolverine movie? This movie centered around Logan being a recluse and struggling to conquer his own nightmares after what happened to Jean Grey in the last X-Men movie. When I said the last X-Men movie, I don’t mean X-Men: First Class. I meant, X-Men: The Last Stand.
I have nothing much to say because I don’t find the plot that interesting. It just gave us a look at how much guilt Logan felt after the death of Jean Grey and how, with the help of other people, he came to terms with it and conquered it. But I do have to comment on the badass character that is Yukio. This is one of the things I love about the X-Men universe: They have female characters that can kick your masochistic asses into the next universe. Yukio is one of those characters. If I ever do cosplay, I will dress up as her. I’ve always wanted to be a ninja.
But the scene after the end credits was what makes watching this movie worth it. I suggest you don’t leave the theatre after the end credits roll. That would be a huge mistake. To avoid spoilers for those people who have not watched, I shall put the rest of this post under the cut.
Today’s Music To Your Ears might make you cry. Please do run and grab that Kleenex box before you click on the video below:
The song is called “Broken” by an English singer-songwriter, Jake Bugg. And boy, my heart is broken after listening and simultaneously, reading the words to the song. You know, they say that the sadder the song, the more beautiful it is? Yes, this song is so good it hurts.
This is something “new” that I will be posting (possibly) daily for. Music To Your Ears is where I’ll post a song, new or old, may or may not be playing regularly on the radio airplay and tell you why I love it.
I love music a lot. I generally post a lot of movies and TV shows in this blog and most would assume I’m a movie lover and that is not completely wrong but I’m a music and book lover before I do of movies. I cannot live without music but I can live without movies.
The first post for Music To Your Ears goes to Arctic Monkeys’ “Do I Wanna Know?”
Do I wanna know? Yes, I do. I want to know when this song will stop looping in my head!
I heard this song a week or so ago via BBC Radio 1 and I just fell in love with it. The guitar chords is simple and repetitive, which gives this sexy, James Bond-ish vibe to it. It’s not hard or complicated. I have a feeling a number of talented people out there might be running to their guitars and start playing the song.
Anyway, you would think this song with such a melody would be about sex or something but no, it’s actually a lovely song. My take on the song is two friends who may hooked up once and this person felt more than where their relationship is currently at. It’s somewhat like an unrequited love song, isn’t it? The question is literally in the song: “Do I wanna know if the feeling floats both ways?”
Really, with that melody, I didn’t expect the song to be about that, or at least that’s how I took it. It took me by a real good surprise.
If you haven’t heard the song, press play on the YouTube video. You won’t regret it.
