Popcorn Combo: 2 Bimbos vs 1 Wizard

200 Pounds Beauty
Korean comedy about Plastic Surgery. It was a runaway success... a movie poking fun with korean obsession with cosmetic surgery. Her plastic surgeon was funny. Almost fell off my chair when she blackmailed him to give her a Total Makeover to save her life. Her playful maltese was especially cute... It would 'play dead' when she aimed her finger like a gun and "Bang"(shoot) at it. :P
Seducing Mr Perfect
The handsome half-korean actor, Daniel Henney, plays the lead role in this movie. :) I guess, he's kinda being restricted in terms of the range of characters he could play, given his lack of proficiency in the korean language. Could only play the American-born korean type of roles. The pretty lead actress is good too.
Harry Potter: Order of The Phoenix
This time round, i didn't find the movie enjoyable and had difficulty following the storyline. Two reasons for that: 1. I have not read a single book of the popular series. 2. I skipped the movie version of the previous instalment ("Goblet of Fire") where they introduced this Chinese girl, and where the fren died. I think a lot of references were made to the previous episode; and the producer of the movie tried to cramp the entire book into the 2hr movie... so i ended up Confused trying to make head or tail of the storyline. Also, i find that this time round, the story has this eerie, sinister feel... didn't like it. Harry and Frens are no longer the adorable kiddy wizards and witches. I know it's a very bimbotic comment... but i used to like Harry Potter over LOTR because the lil' specky wizard and his frens were cuter and more entertaining. :P
