The Mission with Nuffnang: Fight To Save Narnia!

all thanks to Nuffnang, i won myself a pair of tickets to catch the exclusive screening of Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian at Bugis Junction.


i saw plenty familiar faces of fellow Nuffnangers and i'm just overwhlemed by the number of attendees for the exclusive screening! i also spotted famous blogger Wendy Cheng a.k.a xiaxue accompanied by her partner amongst the crowd.


the theatre was fully seated with people of all sorts; ah bengs and lians, the emo kids, the lomo clique, the adults, kids, teens and not to mention elderly people too. the movie started off a little late, but it was worth the wait because the best has yet to come!


the lovely inititate Nuffnang have came up with,
a i love Nuffnang badge!

this entry is dedicated to these friendly Nuffnang team in white!
Ming and the Nuffnang team! you guys are awesome!
(btw, thanks Cherie!)

so after waiting for almost forever, the movie started with the Queen giving birth. she looked as if she had an orgasm...a painful one. a son was born, Lord Miraz's desire for the throne gets deeper, and instructed assassination of his nephew, Prince Caspian, the only heir to the throne. Caspian was informed and he ran his life into the woods of Narnia. desperate for help, Caspian has blown Queen Susan’s horn.

the scene then changed to Susan (i laugh at her sausage lips all the time. i'm evil!) caught in an awkward situation with a schoolmate who fancies her, whom suddenly got cut by Lucy, who led Susan to the subway station where the attention shifted brother Peter who got into a trivial fight while Edward tried to stop it.

whilst waiting for the train, the Pevensie children started a small conversation about Narnia, out of the blue, strong wind gushed and tiles began peeling...*pauses*

wait why am i telling you this? go catch the movie yourself!

here are some spoilers:


no longer the innocent young chldren we know,
the kids grew..a little. (1300 years old in Narnia)

happy ,good looking, undergoing puberty
(just look at Susan..and her sausage lips!!!)

new characters in the movie

superb graphics like this

and this...

this too!

Aslan, the great!

you have cutesy characters like Reepicheep

fierce centaurs and minotaurs, i like!

there will be blood!

not to mention the fantastic wardrobe!

you know how one movie director cleverly decided to put an abrupt end to a movie you anticipated for ages and gave you a hint that there will be a part 2? then turns out that part 2 isn't worth your time and money? to hell with that! because Narnia started out just as expected from it's first chronicle of Narnia, The Witch, The Lion and The Wardrobe. i was so surprised by it's sequel, Prince of Caspian because it was 123456789 times better than the former!

trust me, all these pictures and whatever reviews you have read don't do much justice. buy a movie stub and go catch the damn movie, like, right now!!!

The Mission: Fight To Save Narnia


The sequel of the movie that i have been waiting ever since it's debut, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe has finally returned!

You know the Heroes' way of saying "Save the cheerleader, Save the world" is very similar to the saying of the much anticipated movie, Narnia's Prince Caspian - "Save the Prince, Save Narnia"


Watching the trailer itself does not bring enough justice, that's only 1% of the entire show! One can never get enough of The Chronicles of Narnia for it's adventurous, exciting, magical journey to save the world by fighting off evil. Not to mention the breathtaking sceneries and the awesome graphics.

I want to watch this movie badly with my sister, as we both caught the first chapter in The Chronicles of Narnia together two years ago. As movie junkies, we both clearly know there will be another coming soon to feed our hunger for another fantasying, wonderful and exciting journey with Aslan, the lion, the Pevensie children and of course, the new character of the story, Prince Caspian.

It's not just a movie for the kids, tag your friends, your families...everyone should watch it!

My Sassy Girl [American Remake]

Hollywood has been remaking international movies that are hits in the movie box office. movies like Shutter, The Eye, The Grudge, Dark Waters...i don't mean to be offensive but why take the risk and waste the money in remaking something that many had caught and try remaking another when that movie is already originally a hit in the box office? period.

so anyways, Hollywood decided to make yet another remake of Korea's hit, My Sassy Girl. should i feel pissed or not? judging by the trailer, i guess it's not that bad, really. but obviously, nothing beats the original! check out the trailer!



Jesse Bradford lookin' good!

and this is the original. who does it better? the new or the old?


Cha Tae Hyun lookin' as good!

if there's a chance that Hollywood is choosing yet another Korean movie to remake, i would really want to see The Classic being remade. i think it's gonna be interesting. The Classic is not usual boy meets girl story. it's more than what you think it is. anyway, if you have not caught The Classic, i urge you to go catch it! like, right now!

The Classic trailer. you'll love it!

The Bucket List


just caught The Bucket List. i shed a tear, laughed quite a bit. well i'm not going to say much. but i'll give you 5 good reasons why you should go catch it.



  1. Academy Awards Winning actors Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson both starred in the movie (and John Mayer sings the theme song for the movie!)
  2. because life's too short to miss a well crafted movie/ storyline
  3. you won't wanna miss the beautiful sceneries featured in the movie
  4. refreshingly funny...cutesy!
  5. learn the epiphany in life and death
if the above 5 reasons did not do much justice, i extracted this from a review in IMDb
"One of the most fun and uplifting films of the year, Rob Reiner's The Bucket List is also a likely contender for Academy Award nominations. Wonderfully sarcastic dialogue, poignant exchanges between excellently crafted characters, and an overall beautiful tale of mortality and morality, The Bucket List is an excellent opportunity for two of the greatest actors of our time to show off their inimitable techniques. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman have a chemistry that will have you laughing until you cry and crying at the sight of something truly majestic."

worth every cent of yours : 4.5/5 stars
