Ocean's Eleven

OK doing a movie review here cos I'm trying to incorporate two of my loves - writing nonsense and watching movies. The movie I'm gonna recommend today, if you haven't watched it since it's a rather old film, is Ocean's Eleven.
Here are my ratings, just so you can use them like for the following reviews I might be doing:
(1-2/10) I think I would spend my money on steamed broccoli instead.
(3-4/10) I'd rather do my math homework.
(5-6/10) Ok la, beats having to spend a day day dreaming.
(7-8/10) Not bad, can watch once or twice and still be captivated.
(9-10/10) WOW!!!! I'd give up sleeping for a few days for this!!!!

Cast:
Brad Pitt
Julia Roberts
George Clooney
Matt Damon

I rented the DVD the other day for rather simple reasons. Firstly, the sequel to it has been released, and I wanna watch the first part to the story before I proceed to the rather promising Ocean's Twelve. Also I couldn't only get chick flicks which are what i usually watch (there's no need to activate any use of the brain cells when it comes to these), since my brother instructed me to get something for him. So I got this, since it's a spy movie with cute guys and Julia Roberts, so it's the best of both worlds.

The plot is rather simple, though you don't really know till somewhere in the middle. To cut the long story short it's how this cool guy Danny Ocean wanted to rob the three largest casinoes in Las Vegas, and he does it with the even cooler Brad Pitt along with 9 other guys. Julia Robert's the 11th one, forming Ocean's Eleven. So they do it, obviously. To tell any more would be brutal, so go watch it yeself!

With its stunning cast, Ocean's Eleven scores not only because of its multiple eye-candies, but also more importantly it's ever amazing plot. Tightly woven by screenwriter Ted Griffin (Matchstick Men), the development of the plot is admittedly one of the best I have seen. A story within the story, a motive within the motive, a scam within the scam, yet so leisurely presented to the audience. What was most impressive was although the cast was a star-studded one, the story shone much more brightly through them, and the only role the cast had was to bring this terrifically-written script alive.

Yea so gals it's not a typical spy movie with bombastic spy-language no one but your boyfriends probably pretend to understand. And for guys it's not just a movie with pretty people and no substance. I'd say it's an excellent and annoyingly intelligent script, supported by a fantastic cast and crew, completely worth the money!
Rating for Ocean's Eleven:
WOW!!! I'd give up sleeping for a few days for this!!! (9/10)

Sammi Cheng

Can't believe I haven't written anything about her in all my days of blogging. Will answer a few common questions here. But first, the lady in question:

Sammi Cheng, 33 this August, Hong Kong artiste. Began at 16, still going strong, found fame when she sang 'Can't Bear to Leave You' in '96, I found her when I watched 'Needing You' in 2000.

1. Are you lesbian?
No I do not have a crush/secret lesbian liking/fantasy towards her or anyone else, for Heaven's sake.

2. Why her?/Why do you like her?
No, I am not sure why I like her. Actually I think it might be because of her sincerity and her innocence. At least that is the feeling I get from her. She is very street-smart obviously, and even intelligent, as I found out rather recently, but she rushes home every day after work to read or whatever, which I find is appealing. Also her determination has been a great inspiration for me to carry on in whatever I do. Whenever I find myself wanting to give up in whatever, I think of how she pulled through, and I find, it's not that hard after all. And also I feel a sense of connection with her - maybe it's her way of thinking, her interests, what she has been through (she was overweight) and everything, but that's how it is for me.

3. Listen to her everyday?
No, but almost. Actually it can be counted as everyday haha.

4. Does she deserve all your time, effort and money?
I don't know how to answer that, but all I can say is, I'm happy to spend my money, effort and time on her, she's happy to accept it, we all benefit.

5. How has she helped in any aspect of your life
OK she totally helped when I was studying for the O's. It was a rather tough time, and listening to her songs, her concerts and her words of encouragements were really helpful and I regained confidence every time I felt like throwing everything out the window. I'm sure she'll help in the A's as well!
I've learnt Hong Kong cantonese too along the way, and I can even speak and listen to her when she speaks super fast!!

6. Are u a fanatical fan?
Like quite, haha. Sometimes I just feel happy to read about her news (has to be good) She's top priority when it comes to me spending money on albums. I get quite crazy when it comes to her and I can lose my cool haha!

7. So what do you usually do as a fan?
As moderator of her largest English based website, I translate magazines or newspaper articles to allow non-mandarin/cantonese reading fans to know more about her. With my relatively good memory I am quite capable of remembering almost every detail I've read regarding her, so many fans check with me when they need any info. Many also treat me as if I'm her 'manager'
(haha!!) and ask about her news, which I basically get from the many sources I have.

8. Giving her up?
IN YOUR DREAMS!
