The Game Plan

Who says this show is bad? Lol. I think its a rather touching show. The plot – “The Game Plan” is the story of superstar quarterback Joe Kingman (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson), whose Boston-based team is chasing a championship. A ’serial bachelor’, Kingman is living the ultimate fantasy: he’s rich, famous and is the life of the party. But this dream suddenly ends when he meets the seven-year-old daughter (newcomer Madison Pettis) he never knew he had – the product of a last fling before parting years ago with his young wife. Now, during the most important time in his career, he must figure out how to juggle his parties, practices and dates with ballet classes, bedtime stories and dolls that come with his daughter. Equally perplexed is his agent, Stella (Kyra Sedgwick) who is without a parental bone in her body. Joe discovers that there’s more to life than money and fame…

I had to “Awwww….” so many times in this show because the little girl is just adorable. For me, this show has a wonderful plot with a fantastic role in “The Rock” to act. His acting ability to have a little exaggerating but convincing personality has a slight use for this show, especially when his role in this show makes him an egoistic and yet full-of-himself person. And yes, this movie tells you that family bonding is damn important and one should always trust each other no matter is it a lie or its good for you. A classic family movie. It could only get better with the visual effects. =). Overall, a good show for the whole family.

One Missed Call

 

Well, In this remake of the Japanese horror film “Chakushin Ari” (2003), several people start receiving voice-mails from their future selves – messages which include the date, time, and some of the details of their deaths.

Watched this with darling at Marina Square today, and I must say that this remake wasn’t that bad after all. Its scary at points when you don’t wish that anything were to happen. And damn it, its really frightening at points. But its rather eerie to have a ringtone that sounds off on the phone, especially when the ringtone is not a ringtone that you know of. Shit, and I have the ringtone. !.

The plot isn’t that bad, and it could be improved with better cast. The most confusing and yet puzzling part is the last part of the show. Well, its rather weird to end suddenly. Kinda like an abrupt ending. Wonder why do directors like to film movies that are not bad till the last part. At least make the audience understand what will happen. I kinda feel disrupted. Haha. But then again, if you wish to have a scare for the week to wake up yourself, go for this show. But the jap movie would be a better film. =)

What happens when….

You are inside a car and you have nothing else better to do than to press the horn and scare people? Yes, apparent I sat inside the car and when seeing numerous types of people walk pass, I just wonder what would happen if I ever sounded the horn at them. These are the people I analyzed throughout the “ordeal” that I have thought of. Warning – people without imagination and the weak hearted do not go further than the full stop after this sentence.

Old Man – Prolly he will go “Arhhhh…. ” (imagine one with a Homer Simpson’s father face when he’s shocked) and his dentures will fall off and his heart will fail.

Old Malay Man – “Ahhhhhhhllaaaaaahhhhhh…” Ok not funny. LOL.

A family of 3 (Husband, Wife, Baby) – The wife will jump on the the husband screaming, then the husband fall back like some tank hit him, with the baby so frightened that it starts to bite his ear off.

A 30 Year old Lady – She will scream at the top of her lungs and start using her handbag to slam on the bonnet of your car, swearing every damn language she knew and you won’t.

A teenage gangster – “KNNBCCB! !@$%$$^%!#%^%!$^!%%. Kar Lim Bei Chut Lai. (I, who is Your Father, ask you to come out) ” You get it.

Actually, staying in the car, honking at people and flashing your high beam to people is kinda fun. Just that if you do it in Singapore, I guess you will either be complained at and get charged or whatever the sentence might be to take you to jail. Singaporeans. And speaking about ourselves, I realised the females in Singapore are getting more like guys. Or are they guys in the first place. I saw one Indian woman, plump, but when you look at her face, she looks like my friend in the army, got those kind of “chiong sua” face. What the. Then I saw one woman in the train with her son, and she’s like an identical photocopied image of Timbaland. When she smiles, she looks even MORE like Timbaland. By the way, her son looks like a 6 year old with moustache and dresses like a Sentosa Bus Guide.

And yes, when you thought it was the worse thing, I saw one that looks like Smeagol. Is it the ozone layer that is affecting the looks of Singaporean women? Well, in this case of disfiguring and disintegrating is utterly disappointing. Seriously. Or is the people in the west are exposed to more pollution just because Tuas is in the west? Maybe that’s why I have a lot of pimples as well. Lol. Oh well.
