People say “curiosity killed the cat”. But in my case, curiosity didn’t kill me but it just gave me one more thing to fangirl about and to include in a list of things I hyperventilate over.
Happy New Year! The first movie for yours truly to watch is… Seventh Son, which I was quite excited about since Mr Cutie Pie aka Ben Barnes is the lead actor in this seemingly epic movie. Key word: seemingly.
Also known as the movie with the longest title ever by Disney.
Alexander is one of the movies that came out this week in Singapore. I decided to give this one a go because 1) the trailer looks nice and 2) I need a laugh. And it’s not a bad choice.
The much-anticipated third installment of The Hunger Games franchise opened this week in Singapore, much like the rest of the world (maybe?) and boy am I slightly disappointed. Why? Not about the movie but the money-making thing going on. But before I get into that, let me tell you what Mockingjay Part 1 is about.
One of the movies out this week, the start of the school holiday here in Singapore, is Disney’s new animated movie that will catapult a lot of cute merchandise, Big Hero 6.
Let me just begin this review by saying that me and science are not best of friends. It’s not that I don’t get science. I do. I just don’t remember three-quarter of the things I learned back in school because my job does not require me to know science. Math, yes. Science, no. And to think that I was better in science when I was back in school.
Anyway, I watched the movie and spent the entire almost-3 hours confused. I do know it’s about wormhole, time and gravity. Also, Matthew McConaughey might be the next Doctor Who? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (If you watched it, you’ll get what I mean.)
Red Rising by Pierce Brown
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is what happens when you don’t read the publication year/date/whatever – you didn’t realize that the book is super new that the next book is not out yet and now you’re gorydamn depressed because oh my god, what is going to happen?
That is exactly what’s happening to me right now. I am feeling so lost and the last time I felt that way was “Harry Potter” when I had to wait year after year for the next book to come out. So I did a little googling and by Zeus, I have to wait till next year for the sequel? Who do I have to kill to get the advanced copy?!
If you are a fan of Game of Thrones like yours truly, you will find familiar faces in this movie other than Luke Evans. A hint: There’s a Stark and a Lannister.
Landline by Rainbow Rowell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What if your life turns to crap and you find that you have a magical phone to call back to the past and try to fix it? Welcome to Georgie McCool’s life.
The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This next book from Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling) is just as amazing as the first. I love crime thrillers and this is one of the best I’ve read.
