Popcorn Combo

WooHoo! Lotsa movies in the month of May! :D
Spiderman 3
Not exactly a hardcore fan of the spidey, but enjoy watching the cartoons when growing up. Found this latest instalment entertaining with all those sophisticated animation. However, at the same time, find that the producers/scriptwriters tried to pack too many characters into the movie... some of them didn't get enough airtime...
We watched the movie @ the newly renovated Cathay Cineplex @ Dhoby Ghaut. Had to book the seats 2 days in advance! We got the "couple seats"... @%#^$%... Not a good idea if the neighbor keeps fidgeting thru'out the entire movie.. :( Otherwise, Cathay Dhoby Ghaut and Cineleisure are still my favorite choice of theatres for movies, with their comfy seats and wide legroom, and discounts for UOBcards. ;-)
Priceless (Hors de Prix)
A funny French movie starring Audrey Tautou. I like her. She's pretty versatile as an actress. I like the part where Irène was tutoring Jean as his "technical adviser" on how to seduce his rich widowed 'sugar-mummy' for more expensive gifts. Hilarious. :) And very impressed when he become a really smooth operator. :P I love her bikini and sarong skirt. Don't see such classy designs in the stores... but then again, it could be some damn ridiculously expensive brand, that's why... The lead actor playing Jean - Gad Elmaleh, is pretty good too. European movies always have this quirky sense of humor, very different from the usual hollywood flicks. :)
Captain Jack Sparrow is back in this 3rd episode. Got Chow Yun Fatt playing a pirate from Singapore... but he only had a very brief appearance in the movie.. what a waste.
The movie is slightly more than 2.5hrs long... but probably because there's so much action, you don't actually realized that it's that long. As usual, Johnny Depp plays the funny, entertaining albeit a cowardly pirate who seem to have antagonize most of his peers... but I like the lil' monkey, it's adorable. :) The way this episode ended... it seems like there's a very high likelihood that there'll be a 4th episode. Just learnt from my sis that you hafta stay until the end of the credits roll, as there's 1 extra scene. Hmmm... guess, me and frens missed that part... Now i know, if they don't turn on the lights when the credits roll starts, that means the show's not over yet. Next time, wait for the lights signal.
