The Dark Knight Rises
My first Batman movie experience was rather pleasant.
There were little surprises hidden everywhere.
From casting to costume to effects, it was pretty dope.
At first I thought The Dark Knight Rises is about Batman and Hannibal Lecter.
You know.. the mask. And I thought Anthony Hopkins was in it.
><
The most pleasant of all surprises is how amazing Anne Hathaway was as Catwoman.
No one expected Chris Nolan to cast Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. I didn't.
I thought they were crazy to do it.
From "Devil wears Prada" to the White Queen in Alice in wonderland,
Anne made one impression in my mind. Pretty whimsical gorgeous fairy. Fairy. not cat.
I was still skeptical 5min into the film.. until she got caught by Bruce Wayne and
purred "Oooops".
Just the sound of that word and her body language convinced me hands down that she is going to nail it.
Amazing amazing amazing.
If you think Anne is gorgeous in a Dolce Gabbana gown, she is x90909809238472 more breath-taking in a catsuit.
I do think they corseted the hell out of her waist though.
another favourite little surprise is Cillian Murphy. Seriously this dude is EVERYWHERE.
Chris Nolan is the director of Inception. and of course Dark Knight Rises.
Hence it's quite alright to see Cobb's crazy wife Mal acting as Miranda in Dark Knight.
There is always a bomb that needs defusing.
and there is always a hero with a plane.
Think Captain America ending.

Movie Weekend!
This movie is incredibly long.
But with a close knitted story plot and amazing character developments,
You'll hardly notice it's 146min long.
If Viola Davis wasn't nominated the same time as Meryl Streep for The Iron Lady, she would have won the Oscar.
For sure.
Her portrayal of Aibileen Clark was so brilliant and believable that I was almost convinced she worked as a maid in the 1960s.
Watching her in interviews is so different.
She is poised, graceful, intellectual, and there is something in her voice that speaks conviction and compassion for people in similar plights, which is so precious.
Emma Stone is a pleasure to watch. She always is. From House Bunny to Easy A to the Help, she is always the gorgeous and likeable protagonist.
This girl can act. They're just not giving her roles that she can perform for.
Can't wait to see more breakout roles really.
But I'm still gonna run and watch her girl-next-door role in The Amazing Spider Man.
Octavia Spencer is hi to the larious in The Help.
You'll want to learn her patronising "mmm-hmm"(s) while watching the movie.
So contagious!
Bryce Dallas Howard makes me wanna kill her.
When a character makes me what to do that, she's pretty good!
I really liked her accent though, because it was SO annoying.
And the way her lips curl upwards when she emphasises on words is infuriating.
Lovely movie altogether.
It's a 9/10 if you're into dramas, and a zzz/10 if you're a hardcore fast and furious, death race, kinda person.
This is a movie for the soul.
He doesn't look like how he should in my fantasies. ><
I have the LONGEST crush on Tintin, since 3 years old until now.
I have no idea how warped my 3 years old mind must have been to like a guy with two fullstops for eyes and gravity defying wave fringe.
But hell yea i loved him.
It's a Spielberg and Peter Jackson production, so it's flawless.
Well it had one..abit of a flaw. I thought Captain Haddock's head is too big, and his nose was WAYY to blotchy.
And he is fatter than the Haddock in Hergé's comics.
Blastering Barnacles he needs to get a head reduction and a gym membership.
Seeing my childhood heroes coming to life is pretty cool.
So please watch it if you hear of/ liked/ loved TinTin.
If you haven't,
OH EM GEE THAT'S HIDDLESTON!
AAAAAAND.. he's dead.
It's pathetic how little screen time he had as compared to Joey.
But there is a reason why the film is titled War Horse and not War (Walking Sex).
hee. I've never referred to him as walking sex before. *SHY*
I tried looking for The Deep Blue Sea in Videoezy, but i failed.
and it is priced at $35+ on Ebay.sg
T.T
Anyways,
you'll love the horses.
Joey is a Chestnut with a star on his forehead and 4 white socks.
Topthorn, a marvellous blazing black steed. (i have no idea why i have the impression he is called Truffle)
It's an epic war film. By Spielberg!
So the cinematograph is amazing, everything just fits like a puzzle piece.
Epic film that broke my heart.
Twice.
