2010 Movie #20: Toy Story 3

I have not watched the previous 2 installments of Toy Story so had no idea of the plot at all. However, this did not prevent me from enjoying Toy Story 3 at all. I thought the story was really good and heartwarming, with funny scenes throughout as well. The feelings of the toys seemed so realistic that it made me wonder if the toys that I once played with felt the same way. I was really touched when Andy gave away his toys to another child, who would take care of them and play with them again.

Now I'm keen to watch the first 2 Toy Story movies as well ;)

2010 Movie #19: Sex and the City 2

小花 had a pair of Gold Class tickets so we decided to watch "Sex and the City 2" as the movie was more than 2 hours long and would be more value for money to watch in Gold Class.

The plot was quite lame, and it was a bit ridiculous to see the 4 main casts frequently changing into different expensive clothing in Abu Dhabi just for the sake of it. However, there were quite a number of funny scenes, especially those about Samantha who kept complaining about her menopause. Overall, a good movie to just laugh at without having to think about the plot.

2010 Movie #18: Killers

My colleagues had a craving for ramen so we drove to The Central to have lunch at Marutama Ramen. However, there was a long queue when we reached there so we decided to dine at Watami instead. The set meals were quite value for money and we were all very full. Later in the afternoon, we had free Haagen Dazs ice-cream courtesy of our company.

Due to the heavy lunch and tea, 小花 and I were too full to have a proper meal for dinner. 小花 just wanted to have some cold dessert so we went to Food Republic. She ordered ice-kachang while I bought a couple of kueh tu tu. We also bought 4 BBQ chicken wings to share as they looked tempting :P After that, we proceeded to the cinema for our movie.

The movie was a comedy but it was also full of action scenes, as the male lead was an ex-killer who is now being targeted himself. The plot was a bit weird though, as almost everyone he knew in his daily life after his marriage was suddenly trying to kill him. However, we still enjoyed the movie as we were not too bothered about whether the plot made sense and just wanted to have a good laugh :)

2010 Movie #17: Shrek Forever After

Today 小花 and I watched the final installment of the Shrek series. We have watched the previous chapters so did not want to miss this, even though some reviews were not very good.

I felt the movie brought across the message "You only learn to appreciate what you have when you lose it". Shrek learnt it the hard way but luckily he had a good ending. Donkey and Puss in Boots provided the audience with most of the laughter :) On the whole, this movie may not have been as funny as the previous installments, but it was a good and heartwarming close to the series.
