Perfect Stranger

"The One" enjoy watching thriller/crime movie, me? as long as there isn't any "coming out of nowhere ghost" or screaming scene, i'm fine :P I'm more timid hehe so we came across this DVD movie "Perfect stranger" starring Halle Berry (both of us do like her, esp her role in "Catwoman") and Bruce Willis




I have to say, critics have not been really giving it a good review but for me personally, not considering movie techniques or really critical stuffs to make it a good movie, I personally did enjoy the movie.


Halle played the role of a reporter Rowena Price, who learns that her friend's murder may be connected to powerful ad executive Harrison Hill (played by Bruce), she goes undercover posing as Katherine. The closer we get to learning the truth, the more surprises we get..Everyone is a Stranger..Everyone have secrets, at every turn, at every corner, there are moments of surprises, twists and turns that just kept us glued to our chairs..just as if you're on a 'roller coaster ride' :)

If you just wanna have some fun, chill out, go along with the flow of the movie, this is one worth watching on the DVD, with popcorns or pizza on hand.. :)

Hairspray

I always enjoyed musicals and watching musical movies ("Grease", "Sound of music", "Dorothy and the wizard of Oz", "Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory", "Moulin Rouge"...)

"The One" and I caught the musical movie "Hairspray" a few days ago. Well, musical movies either you like it or you don't. Critics have said 'this is the musical movie of the 21st century'..if you like the movie "Grease" or enjoy musical, you will like this movie.



The characters that I enjoyed in the movie include John Travolta (Edna), Michelle Pfeiffer (Velma), Tracey (Nikki Blonsky) and her crush, Link (Zac Efron). John Travolta, I was not surprised at his musical talent (if you have seen him in "Grease"); When he portray Edna, he gave Edna a 'really womanly portrait' of a voluptuous, curvy, woman :) Michelle came out with a strong performance as Velma, she surprises me with her ability to sing and act esp in one of the scene where she tried to seduce Enda's husband...while Nikki (who used to work behind the counter in an ice cream parlour), she was picked from over eleven hundred candidates to play this role of Tracey; Nikki, she's really a natural and has a good voice too. As for Link..well, just put it this way, he is a 'cute, cool looking' guy..comparable to John Travolta in his younger days :)

so if you're looking for a relaxing time, listening to some nice musics and have some laughs..this is one movie I'll go for :) Happy watching!
