The Chronicles of Narnia
It's a classic book, but I never really took to it. Thank goodness for Hollywood!
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Watched the first 3, might as well keep going. And it's darker and somebody dies!
And Mr. & Mrs. Smith look pretty good: even if the storyline sucks (Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt not exactly good at choosing good scripts eg. the Tombraider movies and Meet Joe Black), the trailer promises lots of things blowing up and then there're the aesthetically pleasing leads to look at.
Also, the War of the Worlds: it's Tom Cruise, so it's gotta be good, right? I watched the Lat Samurai twice and was very "kan tung" (Cantonese for touched) both times. And loved Jerry Maguire.
And there's this new movie called Saving Face, starring Joan Chen, about a widow who is ostracized by the Chinese-American community for being pregnant out of wedlock....was thinking, does that actually happen anymore? I know quite a few people in Kuching who are single mothers or co-habiting without getting married, etc. but I don't think they're ostracized for it....again, I think it's the don't-ask, don't-tell or the you-know-and-I-know-and-there's-nothing-else-to-say or the no-need-to-"chap"-other-people's-"su" policy.
Not that I agree with any of the lifestyles above, but ostracizing someone for anything short of some heavy crime like murder or rape is pretty harsh and does no one any good, least of all the innocent baby. Maybe will ask my mum about this. Maybe it's an anomaly unique to the super-laidback people of Kuching.
