2 movies

Luckily, I didn't heed Alvin's advise and went ahead to watch A series of unfortunate events...
feedback from somebody who hasn't watch the show may not be accurate at all.

I like the movie very much. At the very beginning, the narrator warns that the movie is not a happy one, there is nothing happy about the film, no happy beggining, no happy ending.... he urges the audience to leave the cinema. Of course, that is only a strategy to keep the movie intriguing. And so much for promising that the movie is not going to be a happy one, but the movie brings about so much laughter that there isn't a single hint of sorrow that can be detected.
At the end, even though the content is not a happy one, but the fact that the orphans share love, wits and kindness makes it a happy ending (for now that is, lionel is sure that sequels are on their way).

side note:
lionel commented that children's books are getting darker. Their storybooks now expose them to murder and stuffs... compare harry potter to charlie's chocolate factory (of our time). Maybe children's books are no longer meant for children.

By a great stroke of luck, i managed to watch another movie on sunday, which is also a good movie.

sex is zero

The story is very predictable as the same plot has been used and reused many many times before. Dumb boy likes girl A, girl A falls for rich guy instead, rich guy dumps girl B to be with A, later dumps A as she finds herself pregnant. A finally knows Dumb boy is the one who's always there for her.

Yes, i've spoil it for u. But the film is not good for its main story plot, it is the way the film portrays teenshood that is worth watching. (warning: this thing has scenes of nudity... but don't expect anything, watch it as a comedy)


no re-watch value tho
