LoveBug again..Boys will be boys

Here's a short rundown on 2 romance novels and 3 action movies plus my 'Wanna see' list

Romance
1)Love like water (3 1/2 stars)
It's a SHOCKER!!Multiculture love.Believe me,it drags on early and suddeny the momentum slowly begins to build up and the climax is exactly what a love story should be.It's set where else but in the middle of Australia,Alice Springs.

Good stuff,but patience is what you should have.

2)Saving Francesca (4 stars)
From the author of 'Looking For Alibrandi',Melina Marchetta,comes a story that well.......involves love,duh.As usual,the Italian feeling is present,but so does the normal stereotypical girls(The silent one,the nerdy,the rebellious and the playgirl XD) PLus the boys(bad boy,captain,you know the drill).

Who doesn't love a happy ending?It's a seriously good book,highly recommended.And oh,did I mention Pride and Prejudice had a little part?For fans of Austen,you mightn't like the description of Lydia but other than that....bravo


Movies
1)Max Payne (3 stars)
The videogame comes to the movie screen starring Mark Wahlberg as the man who lost his family and is seeking revenge

It is a dark film with plenty of loose ends and you'll probably pan it but yeah,everything comes together in the end.Good effects,but random slow-mo timings.PLus,funny how one man takes down everything......


2)The Mummy:Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor(3 1/2 stars)
"Here we go again!!!"This film is a slight disappointment from the first 2 but what can you expect?Where else could they go?The answer could be found in most labels and lemme change that a little bit:Set In China.Brendan Fraser isn't as loud as he was,it feels odd without Rachel Weisz,Daryl Hannah isn't as funny and why aren't they aging much after 20 years?Good thing they put in the Yeti and heavily CGI-ed Jet Li(he looks blimped).

Funny moment:Alex O' Connor exclaims that he's dating an 'old' woman in the form of young actress Isabella Leong

3)Kung Fu Panda (4 1/2 stars)
I know I'm an oldie in movies,but this one is totally awesome!!Who would have thought of a fat panda?Good work from Dreamworks and an excellent voice casting.Perfect slow-no actions and fight scenes.Jackie Chan's a little underused though.....Who want's a chopstick fiGht over a dumpling with me? XD


Must see
1)Race to Witch Mountain
I smelled a cook in Dwayne Johnson a.k.a The Rock,looks like it could be a treat..

2)Fast and Furious
Guys,it's enough of making fun of the titles.GET SERIOUS!!Vin's back,so's Michelle,Billy and Jordana.Let's race!!Va-va-vroom.

Get ready for the clock rockin beats!
