I am Legend


was an ok movie.. not very good or bad... tho quite popular..

had its jumpy-in-the-dark moments.. i found the ending abit weird tho?

anyhoo.. this is about a virus that spread over new york. they closed the island off from the outside world as people started getting this contagious virus as it was an air born virus. the bridges to this island was cut off as the virus spread. (ie. blown up)

will smith plays the lone survivor in this movie as he trains himself to be fit and gathers foods, petrol etc by day and hides at home at night from these creatures that the virus has turned these infected humans into, that feed on flesh.

will smith hopes to find survivors as he feels he is alone in the world.

he tries to find a cure for this virus that was created by man.

u'll have to watch it to find out the ending urself :)

27 Dresses


a pretty good girly movie :D


the main character (pictured in poster) is a PA for her boss who she has a major crush on.
shes used to organising everything for everyone.

she has been a bridesmaid 27 times and always ends up being the person that organises the wedding for her friends.

her little sister is back in town who turns out to be interested in the main character's boss. they start going out and gets engaged which the main character isnt too happy about but being the nice person she is.. she backs down and watches her sister get together with her boss.

meanwhile the main character meets this guy at one of the weddings she was at and he starts to point out a few things and wonders why the main character never says no and go do her own thing instead of doing things for everyone else.

quite a good girly flick with its laughs.. and i reckon the 2 main guys are hot ;) hehe

wont ruin the ending so watch it urself :P

The Golden Compass


I've been wanting to watch this since i saw the trailer.

Lots of really good 3d graphics and a sci fi story about a girl who has the power to see the truth through the Golden Compass.

I dont want to ruin the story but it has interesting concepts for scifi about parallel worlds and worlds similar but different to ours.

hmm maybe i'll get the book too...
