Penelope

I think it's a very nice name, but that is besides the point! I am referring to the movie:
Penelope!

Awesome stuff! It gave me the Big Fish kinda feel, fantasy-ish but done in a pleasant fun way. No, it is not like Big Fish, but the feel, for me at least.

Wiki tells me this movie has been shown since 2006, wow 2 years ago, but nevertheless it is nice!
Currently only showing in TGV, so better catch it while it is up! No, it is so not a chick flick, but rather a nice pleasant film, watch it watch it watch it watch it.

It started off a nice day with lunches with JC and his friend. Then moving on to more exciting part of the day, met with P, where i had 2nd round of lunch and cendol and rojak, hmmmmm!

Then invitation to watch this movie by M, who also invited M, went to 1u meet up with some friends, then with K to meet them at TGV, so there we were, 5 of us, M&M, P, K and yours truly.
Bought tix to the evening show and off we went in, cinema was DEAD empty, like literally no one else man.. So we were monkeying around in the cinema, hanging our legs 'cause no one is there, and switching seats according to our preference.

Then walked in a female specimen, and we kinda took over her seat, so she sat elsewhere, i made some small talk with her, found out she is:
1. Uni of Melbourne grad
2. Currently lepaking

okok, that was pretty much it and then came the commercials, first up was a weird Thai movie called Chocolate Fury, no i am not kidding, probably because she ate chocolate and was kickass deadly, oh, and furious too. Fight scenes looks cool.

Then followed by others and others, then finally the movie!

I thought the movie was sweet and as i said, kinda fantasy-ish, but not extreme fantasy. So it's cool, in case you hate fantasy.

It's about a cursed family line that made a girl (no spoilers) different, and how she manged through a life which no men wanna be with her. Till came James Mcavoy, oh my, he is good ler, he is so different from the movie Wanted. He can act and portrayed the character, i actually felt sorry for the guy and wanted to kinda give him support, but i did it silently, in case others (means just us and that female ler) think me crazy if they had not thought it before.

Of course we knows how movies end, no major major twist, just that it was a nice fun twist towards the end. All in all, plenty to laugh at, plenty to feel nice inside, also fun to have good company to watch with =)

i end with this thought, ok better not, 'cause i think it sums up the whole movie.

Anyway full day, but eventful one =)
