I would say All's Well Ends Well 2010 is one of the best films for this season. YES! Its quite funny and I laughed throughout. Its a retro setting movie of the 1800s but with added flavour of today's world.... If you want some laughter and good jokes and also experience the good crazy but funny acting by the actors and actresses... seriously go for it.
RATINGS: 9.5/10
72 Tenants is a production movie made by TVB and Shaw Brothers.... overall the story hasn't got much storyline in it.. but its funny!!!! =) continuous humours and lots of surprises and cosplay ... The movie has got one of the most main cast acting in as cameos in almost all the scenes... with bosco wong... jacky zhang and zheng zhi wei as main casts....
Overall I enjoyed the movie... they had many songs wich wasnt translated to cantonese... thankfully... if not, the whole movie would have been ruined..
However, the translation for dialogues to mandarin was horrible.... even simple translations like 127 in cantonese (according to subtitles) was translated as 438 in mandarin... The movie would have been better off if its in cantonese... i rather watch it in the original form.. juz like korean, japanese and thai films... rather than a translated film from cantonese...
Watching it in Malaysia would give you a better rating as its in cantonese...
MANDARIN VERSION: 6.5/10
CANTONESE VERSION: 8/10
14 Blades pretty cool.... overall storyplot was plain.... but i can say that donnie yen fights a lot in this film... unlike the other film earlier in the year where there wasnt much fighting... so wich is quite good... and a lot of shuai ge in the movies like wu zhun inside... lol... Overall its quite a good movie.... with much more budget spent...
RATINGS: 7.5/10
Of course, Chinese New Year starts off with a reunion dinner at my late ahmah's house.... with dad's family.... Had a steamboat dinner... didnt have pics to show here.... lol.... started receiving red packets liao.... =)
Watched the channel 8 countdown new year show... visit my mahmah and gonggong the next day (mum's mum and dad).... My uncle also came back from australia with his family to visit my grandparents! LOL.... Went to bainian for the rest of day 1.... didnt have much relatives actually.... was just two more houses after tat...
Whole of Chinese New Year was just slacking.... 2nd day watched 72 Tenants with family in the morning.... had steamboat dinner at my own home... abalone dinner and pig's kidney steamboat... my favourite... !!! =) The next day went out with my mum's family again.... for a lunch at Mayim Northpoint... loved the durian pudding most! =)
Was pretty full after the lunch..... Went out with Tsian Hwee at about 5pm after tat for the movie 14 Blades... We were too early for the show....730pm and couldnt have dinner when we meet... as we had lunch at about 3pm.... We decided to settle down at Fruit Paradise... Had always wanted to try this cafe ... cos the cafe exterior's really nice! =) And their pies really look yummy! =)
Tsian even wanted to order one of the pies at the counter where they display the pies for sale... only to be told that its sold out though the item's there.. and then the crew pinch the pie and say.. the first level is a toy..... whereas the row below is the real thing.... we were like... WOAH.... LOOKS LIKE REAL!
The pie wasnt cheap.. about $8.... but its worth a try.... or maybe once a year kind of food.... the ambience is nice... cos its at Orchard Central... not much people.... quiet and cold place to be in! =)
we had late dinner after tat at Youth Park ..... Had satay...stingray and all...
Went out with Tsian Hwee and Zhenhui the next day! =) We went to River Hongbao @ Marina.... =)
Walked around..... visited Cai Shen Ye... Kinda weird.. wondered why they give him budget clothing to wear... Cai Shen Ye must wear something golden bright red mah.... why that red colour robe nia?
Anyway, there were a couple of interesting exhibitions there.... like the candy made dragon.... and the dragon and phoniex made with clay spoons and cutlery....
Watched Alls Well Ends Well.... den we later had dinner... ordered my favourite tzi char dish.... Hotplate Beancurd Rice... =) Went to Bai Nian at my house after which! =)
The new year holiday was long... but good times past fast... a 5 day long weekend seems like only 1 day.. lol... and i am now back in school... the following day... only to realise my project datelines are all coming in... like one project dateline every week... SCAARY HUH?
