Movie Review: Crazy, Stupid, Love. (+ some reflections)

Last Night, I got to watch the advance screening of  "Crazy, Stupid, Love." movie in Rockwell Cinema 2 with my little sister.  We had FREE ice cream courtesy of Nestle.  There were also some games and prizes from the sponsors before the show.  But everyone was looking forward to just watching the movie.

There has been a lot of romantic comedies these days that are full of big shot stars but lack uniqueness in plots.  So we had the impression that this will be another one of those.  BUT we were WRONG!  This movie is probably one of the best romantic comedies I've watched.  Seriously, this is one romantic comedy your boyfriends (except if its Kurt) would even enjoy.
It's not a cliche romantic comedy.  It has a plot of its own and good one too.  Its a good blend of entertainment.  There are tear-jerking moments and a lot of good and hilarious jokes.  The humor is unexpected and surprisingly funny.   There was not a boring scene in the entire film.  There is also a message in the story which I really appreciated.  The message,of course, is well encapsulated in the title itself.
I liked the combination of the casts.  Steve Carell, as expected, is a superb comedian.  I've liked Ryan Gosling since he starred in as Noah in one of my favorite movies, The Notebook.  He's a real woman-charmer that's for sure.  Together, these two brought the show to life.

Overall, I loved the movie! The casts did well in their role.  I like the presentation and how it was made.  It was perfect!  You should watch it.=)  There's a good lesson to it too.

After watching this movie, Kurt will probably tease me for watching movies like this because he thinks romance is just a sham sold to women to hope for something that doesn't exist.  Is it?  For a long time, I've stopped watching and believing in these things.  But by watching this movie, it made me rethink and reconsider.

Asian Movie Review: A Crazy Little Thing Called Love (First Love)

Last night, I've finally watched  "A Crazy Little Thing Called Love (First Love)".  I have to admit, it is as good as they say it is.  Everything was perfect!  This is my first time to watch a Thai Romantic Movie and I'm really impressed.
Although the plot is nothing special, the creativity of the presentation is beautiful.  I guess the selling point of the movie is that the story is so simple that everyone could relate to it.  We could feel the emotions as the movie plays along.  I don't know about you but I had some tear-jerking moments while watching this movie.  
Chon played by Mario Maurer is the perfect type of guy.  Absolutely no flaws except of being "Torpe" (can't express his love well) so its normal that he gains the admiration of the female audience.

On the other side, Nam played by Pimchanok Leuwisedpaiboo was an ugly girl who transformed herself in to a beautiful lady.  She has not only captivated the male watchers with her beauty but her impressive character development gained the favor of everyone.

I've been wondering though.  How did Nam appear to be fairer after the snow white play?  Did you notice the change in the color of the skin too?

Overall, this is a must watch movie.  This is the kind of movie that leaves impression upon its audience.  Certainly, its fame is a valid proof of that.
