I was supposed to complete some office assignments yesterday since the dateline is on Monday, but instead I felt the need to watch the new DVDs I have with me. Schmucks, me and my usual weakness, I just love to procrastinate…I am so good at it! So, there I was infront of the TV, equipped with packs of assorted nuts and my favourite blackcurrant aloe vera juice …lovely eh, to just relax and enjoy the moment.
The first movie I watched was Yours, Mine & Ours. I saw the trailer when I was in Midvalley watching Nanny McPhee months ago. Yikes, till now I really dunno how the hell did I end up watching Nanny McPhee in the first place, Oh well, one of those moments where anything goes……The movie Yours, Mine & Ours has Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo as the leading actors. It’s a comedy about two single parents who got married at an impulse. They were long lost high school sweethearts and that eventually crossed path again after years of having separate lives and family. Helen (Russo) a widower cum fashion designer of 10 kids and Frank (Quaid), an Admiral of 8 kids. Since day one, the kids just hated one another. They made an agreement to wreck their parents’ MARRIAGE. Those schemes they did were darn hilarious and beyond my expectations. My verdict : worth watching, as it has all the right ingredients, it makes you laugh your head off, it makes you want to cry at the same time and most importantly, it is so good to see Quaid acting again after all those years.
My second movie was Just Friends. Surprisingly, me, a sucker for romantic comedies did not find this movie interesting. Also about high school sweethearts or was it friends. It is about a chubby geek who had the hots for his pretty and popular best friend, Jamie. After being insulted by the other guys when they discovered how he felt for Jamie, he left for LA to prove them wrong. He turned into a handsome and trendy music executive. He managed to shed off those extra pounds and became the MAN he has always wanted to be. As fated, he was forced to return to his hometown New Jersey and eventually bumped into Jamie. Forced to face the past and figure out his true love for Jamie all over again. My Verdict : The two main leads just did not have the sparks or chemistry and pretty dull storyline.
one of the sizzling scenes in Match Point
The last movie I did get to watch yesterday was Match Point. It is a Woody Allen film. Very British for me, but I simple love it. It is full of scandals, temptations, obsessions and passion. It evolves around the life of a one-time tennis pro..:) Me very like scandals! Haha…It has a superb storyline and the ending was something that I definitely did not expect. Was reading about it in the yahoo movies, it had good reviews altogether. My verdict : A good watch.
Gosh, three DVDs in a row…..it was fun, I tell you. Later that night, my family and I headed towards Taman Melawati for dinner with my only brother and family. The menu was “kacang pol” and chicken rice. Kacang pol is a dish which originated from the middle east but is very popular in Singapore. I bet most Singaporeans have tried this “kacang pol” for breakfast or lunch. It is made of a certain bean or “kacang”, where the beans are mashed up and cooked with some spices and herbs. It is eaten with the french bread or baguette and sprinkled with spring onions, green chillies, chopped fresh onions and squashed lime juice. Yummy, yummy.
This is a snapshot of the “kacang pol” we had last night:
