Rattling reviews
Happy Feet
Nicole Kidman's voice is terribly annoying. She's a great actor and all, but I just CANNOT stand that terribly 'soft' voice of hers. Oh and the movie?
I think it was so-so. It started off quite boring. Well, actually my boyfriend kinda doesn't like movies like this and he actually just brought me to the cinema because I begged him to. So the moment he got the tickets I was crossing my fingers all the way praying and begging for the show to be good.
So the show starts off slow, a bit 'wtf' with all the 'penguins sing' nonsense… and Nicole Kidman's whiney voice was an ultra turn-off. Kidman, piece of advice, never act in a show where you're not allowed to show your face. Anyway the show pretty much picked up around the middle where there was a lot of sliding on the ice, and especially when Mumble bumped into the Mambo penguin pack. I loved those things… hehehhe… awesome.
Hugh Jackman is pretty awesome as Memphis. I loved his singing… That Mumble penguin is ULTRA Cute. Wait… if anyone has watched the show, a question: is Mumble an emperor penguin? Or did he come from a lost egg?

Casino Royale
I loved Casino Royale. I thought Eva Green was fantastic. And I REALLY REALLY liked Craig. Now it's not because of his rippling muscles, but I'll say this here: that guy can act.
Some parts of the show were wtf, as usual… but it was very entertaining.
Especially the part where he had the cardiac arrest.
Eva Green is REALLY REALLY gorgeous. Favourite scene of her was when she was getting ready for the poker start off… She looks awesome without make-up.
Actually it also helps to catch 'On Her Majesty's Special Service' just two hours before Casino Royale, to appreciate the selection of Daniel Craig as James Bond. Way, way, way better than George Lazenby (yes there was a guy after Sean Connery who screwed up the Bond character)…
I'm rattling along here… but I didn't ever like any of the Bond movies, so when I say Casino Royale was good, it means I genuinely enjoyed it. And I'm looking forward to the next show after this with Craig as Bond.
p.s. Those scripting fellas sure had a sense of humour when they decided to name the Japanese dude 'FUKUTU'.

Going to watch Happy Feet this thursday. Birthday treat for snowie.
I think Daniel Craig is a man’s Bond…all rough and not typically handsome. Good wat. Pierce Brosnan and Roger Moore were a little too pretty and tryingtobesuave.

How about Arnold Schwarzeneggar? He’s strong and hard. Getting older now but in his younger days he was really solid.

Right… because Nicole Kidman would SO kill puppies for some of your ‘advice’
sheesh.
I’m sorry i ruined your day by this post, but you must be pretty easily provoked if you could get this annoyed just by reading another one of my senseless rants?
Hasn’t the sun come up on your world yet? Or are you still hopelessly waiting for me to wake up. Because, darling, i’m not sure if i’m ever going to grow up to your standards. so do yourself a good favour and stop coming here lah. ^_^

Dearest, LOL, if anyone’s day sounds ‘ruined’ it would be yours.
ok, let me humour you: you ruined my day, sniff. come on lah admit that I annoyed you, otherwise you wouldn’t have posted your completely pointless ‘sheesh you have lousy advice for kidman’ thing. actually i just find it funny that you can take the time to post that comment in response to my rant. i want to apologize for annoying you but i can’t, it’s a rant.
oh btw you are annoying me, but in a good way. as irritating as your comments are, its also funny why you can find the time to run back here to see what i said to you and post up another clever retort. i bet you’re smirking now, aren’t you, aren’t you? or at least you’re going to say you’ve done something that i never expect you’ve done, but you’re not going to tell me what it is. he he. here’s a secret, if you don’t respond to me i’ll feel even more annoyed. so please, say something funny so that we can continue squabbling online.
