keeping to a 7-month promise, my closest gf and i watched MAMMA MIA! yesterday. relished the movie as well as mouthfuls of mac and cheese, popcorn and a gigantic lemon tea which we couldn't finish. we fed each other food because we were too lazy to pass stuff & i wondered if the couple behind us thought we were a couple too....hmmm...
anyway, the movie was one of those that make you leave the cinema feeling light and happy.
pierce brosnan was quite a let-down though. he had a lot of lines but he delivered them as though he has to 90% of his attention on singing on pitch. obviously, 10% is not enough to look 007 good AND act convincingly at the same time. pity, pity.
on the other hand, meryl streep seems to breathe & live in every role she's thrown at. oh but we must also give credit to the hair and makeup stylists who made her demeanour belong to that rustic Greek island.
the black horse of the show is undoubtedly seyfried (a.k.a. the Mean Girl who uses her boobs to predict the weather!!) who, surprise surprise!!, has a sweet and clear voice...we give her the benefit of the doubt in assuming that it was not edited with 21st century technology.
so, perhaps just because of the talented Streep and the gorgeous Brosnan/Seyfried....if not for the allure of ABBA...MAMMA MIA! is worth a watch!!
4.7 stars, says i (:
met classmates for work, after which we tried the much raved-about macaroons at Canele...which were, of course, aweesommmee. thanks JZ for treating us (:
btw, i left my camera home as usual ): but Canele is genius and macaroons are lovely.
we also saw the F1 test runs (: exciting and hyped up atmosphere, but neither of us are race-car fans. are you?
ohhh and the family's back! with lots of lovely hugs, heart-to-heart conversations and beautiful gifts..........my sister just did me a pedicure (:
however.....exams start next week....sigh... :'(
