movie

PERCY JACKSON AND THE LIGHTNING THIEF
I went to watch this movie on the last day of the CNY holidays.
Before that, we had went to Seoul Garden. 
By the time we finished our food, we had smelled really really bad. 
Thus, we went into the movie theater sheepishly, hoping that no one could smell us.
Story Percy Jackson is the son of a god and a human. One day, demons and gods started looking for him, believing that he is the thief that stole Zeus' lightning bolt. Percy struggles to prove his innocence and save his mother who was killed while they were escaping from a Kindly One(something like a monster).
Verdict Well, this movie is definitely BETTER than Harry Potter in the sense that it is not slow in the opening. After all, I am not a very huge fan of Harry Potter as well. The 'final' battle between the real lightning thief and him could have been longer though. And they focused too much on the seeking of the 3 pearls. They should have elaborated on Merdusa too. However, the visual effects were great. As expected.
Rating 3.75/5 A great movie! Almost a 4 too! :D


VALENTINE'S DAY
This was an impromptu outing.
After the CNY celebration at Dunman High, Suting and Gen suddenly popped the question if I wanted to watch Valentine's Day. 
OF COURSE.
We(Suting, Gen, Joelle, Vivianne, me) rushed all the way from school to Plaza Sing.
And obviously, we made it IN TIME. :)
Story It was Valentine's Day. There would obviously be some heartbreaks and happy endings. Well, it was a typical storyline. Akin to 'Love Actually' actually. The love stories of a few people and how do they connect AND fall in love.
Verdict Lots of humorous parts. They could use it. The storyline was not exactly very surprising in a good way. It was cliche and we could kinda figure out what was going to happen. Pretty and handsome actors and actresses though. :P Some parts were actually totally redundant in a sense, like when Taylor Swift and Taylor Lauter were acting.
Rating 3/5 A nice humorous movie to watch, but not exactly that great.
