Green Lantern

"Let there be light!" <- from someone-that-i-forgot. OK RR told me that line was from God. But why does it keep triggering images of a unidentified superhero holding a fist in the air and proclaiming that line!?



I need to put a disclaimer before I start on anything else.

I am no DC comics fan. Or rather, I did not even read a page of them. Yes. Not even Superman. Not even Spiderman (He from DC??).

See.. I need to actually wiki to differentiate them. (Spidey is from Marvel, BATMAN is from DC)

So how closely the movie follows the comic, I would have never known. But I would say, the movie lacks the omph! factor somehow.

Sure Ryan Reynolds is hot and all, Blake Lively is prettily pretty, there's still something missing. And a lot of "ticklish" (intentionally or not) scenes.



I had to admit, I was trying hard not to attempt a "Let our powers combine!" antic in the theater everytime the Green Lantern Corps did that.

Its the ring effect. And perhaps all the green-ness.


"And when your powers combine.. I, am Captain Planet!"



"I pledge alliance to.. a lantern!"

And moments before that.. "To Infinity and Beyond!!"

Now THAT line has become general knowledge. And that's what I call a successful movie! The whole theater roared in fits of laughter at that Buzz LightYear attempt. (Is Green Lantern and Buzz LightYear even supposed to be in the same era?)

And the mask.. the mask.. THE Mask that looks like Green Hornet.

And.. AND THAT balcony scene. It relates me to Peter Pan (green thing floating and hovering and buzzing around), whereas RR is trying her best not to laugh or end up in hackles of coughs with her Aladdin memories.

Effects-wise, I would say the CGI for the helicopter crashing scene was well done, that uniform was cool, but the rest of the show are jus pretty normal.


Pretty!

From the looks of it, there is definitely going to be a Part II (they even request the audience to stay put for a short scene). Which, I believe I will miss. Y? The storyline's pretty predictable and the script is kinda cheesy. Not much to look forward to.

On a sidenote: Errrmm.... HAHHAHA~ Its tough being green!

And Ayasaki promptly casts magic to vanish all the noisy girls..

One Coin Grande Figure Collection Hetalia Round 2

I missed the re-release of this in Japan by about a month earlier and so I got these from Latendo.

The magnets are not very friendly. Couple of them keeps toppling over with any slight movements. Otherwise the sculpturings are still as cute as ever!



The cuties!!

宝家卫国

Doing this in English cos I'm kinda lazy..Haha!

Photo credits to D-addicts and RBKD. Imaging photos are rather hard to find for this show.. spoilers alert!



Sponsered by Ministry of Defence and aired around National Day, 宝家卫国 serves as a showcase for Singapore's arsenal and also our prepareness towards total defence. What's good is that the storyline balances the slice of life plots with the artillery display rather well, that adds on to the show's "viewability" whatever this word may mean.



Storyline centres around the Po family, with 黄文永 as the militarian head of the family, 宝鹏举, who brought up his 4 kids alone after his wife died. 洪慧芳 plays 刘亚妹, who is actually the sister of 鹏举's wife and helped raise the 4 kids. She has a thing for 鹏举 but the feeling was not reciprocated till 鹏举 got cheated and realised who is concerned for him.

宝文精(郑斌辉）is the eldest son of the family and thou he is a regular in the army as a commando, brave and all, he has failed numerous times trying to woo fellow officer 欧阳佩佩（陈靓宣）, who had a crush in 宝文忠（王禄江）since schooling days.

文忠 is the 2nd son, a real gentleman who is often too caring towards the opposite gender, thus attracting himself to some unnecessary romantic forwards. He believes in the special feeling that The One will give and he found it in 小诺（姚懿珊）, a girl left with a limp after an accident that took the life of her boyfriend.

宝文卫（瑞恩）plays the 3rd kid of the brood, and the only female in the family. However, due to 鹏举 treating his kids like the army cadets, 文卫 grew up a tomboy, which led to her ex-boyfriend cheating on her cos he finds her not feminine enough. Later on in the show, she had a crush on 巫成议（沈倾掞）, a photographer who is in fact a terrorist attempting to rescue his brother from prison, but eventually falls in love with colleague Picasso (方展发）, whom she was at loggerheads with in the beginning.

The youngest kid, 宝文国（鹤天赐）, is a fresh grad preparing to be enlisted for NS but is reluctant to train for it, which leads to arguments with 鹏举, who finds him a letdown compared to his 2 brothers. Eventually he was awarded the Best Cadet which made 鹏举 changed his attitude towards him.


Bryan looks extremely yummy-licious here whereas TPH is rather cute as a dorky commando. Rui En gets another typical role during those days but isn't very outstanding. Watch for her funny little antics thou(read: slapping guys on the body *piak!*). Oh and this is the first time pairing of Rui-Pierre. Me likes!

破繭而出

警匪片。由酷到沒話説，整出戯也只笑了不到10次的安小茜（瑞恩）帶領重案組一隊，包括衝動魯莽的歐陽力（陳漢瑋），冷靜細膩的狄倫（曹囯輝)，一面偵破私會黨的内部糾紛，連續強暴碎屍殺人案，男妓謀殺案等，一面與恐怖組織Dragontooth對立。 苦苦追求安小茜的法醫胡希存（王沺裁），精神輔導師兼好友溫婉柔（林湘萍）也各自有他們的故事。

應該是這出戯讓瑞恩的知名度提升了幾倍。 網友們紛紛為她沒入圍2007紅星大獎最佳女主角（林湘萍凴溫婉柔這個角色奪下此獎）而起了一場小風波。其實，安小茜這個角色除了性格與造型讓人印象深刻外（整天polo tee配牛仔褲與球鞋，嚴肅認真的表情），還真的沒什麽讓人覺得是個該提名的作品。有幾場感情戯瑞恩是發揮得不錯，但就只嫌沒那麽多機會詮釋。

故事，題材很新鮮，雖然有點小over，但還可以接受。與〈最火搭檔〉比較，故事方面我會較喜歡〈最〉的構思與設阱。當然我還是偏心的啦，因爲〈最〉有我兒時的偶像，莉萍姐，還有最新的偶像，盧小姐！

真的有讓我幻想，如果那時Poly過後在還沒鎖定工作的那段時間裏真的跑去儅警察（那時真的真的有想過如果還沒工作邀約的話就去儅警察），現在的我會是怎樣的呢？

p.s. 可是我因爲太討厭跑步(煉球時被操得太過火了），而拖延報考警校的決定。那時也剛好經紀公司隔一兩天打來幫我安排了在現任公司打三個月合約的臨時工。

所以夢想終歸夢想。現在去的話，從初級刑警開始，薪金上得減半，而且右膝蓋也不行了。。又不是直接能儅CID那麽簡單。所以，夢想還是做個夢想一想。心頭上那燃燒著的火焰，就讓現實慢慢澆熄吧。

再想了一想，其實做演員最好，什麽職業都能試一試。哈哈！

The 3 second stunned look on Rui En

瑞恩的感谢词(Other than thanking Ken Lim)：

"不久前，有人说我的个性和形象是不可能成功的，我想跟同我一样的人说，不管别人怎么说，是可以的，只要你努力"

Yes. All the hardwork that you have put in recently have raised the quality of Channel 8 shows and yes, people do see and appreciate your efforts. (Even my aunt and granny were rooting for you)

I'm on a 瑞恩 drama marathon since Thurs and have potatoed thru 破茧而出 and digesting 过好年 at the moment. Seriously speaking, the transition between roles was done so smoothly and discreetly that there is no resemblence of 安晓茜 in 杨小冬, nor 杨小冬 in 叶思琪, nor 叶思琪 in 胡小曼, nor 胡小曼 in 章雅乐, nor 章雅乐 in 王佳珍.. u get the drift. Ok probably its easier with the cool cat roles but the others are totally out of 瑞恩's pattern.

(Mediacorp got to improve their skills on naming characters. That's a lot of xiaos used.)

Her eyes, mannerism and everything, entirely shifts from one role to the other, something I do not see often in the others. And she is able to characterise the character, which is something I applaud as well. (Think of 安晓茜 and u rem her short hair polo tee tough look, think of 杨小冬 and u recall her oversized tee, shorts and silly grin, etc)

So although 瑞恩 has not been casted for any 300000 ep dramas yet, but this I would say might be good for her in that thou she has to put in double the effort to make the audience remember her, she actually has more chances to prove herself with all the diverse roles she received (which actually convinced me that this lass has the best acting chops in Mediacorp amongst the uprising 阿姐s at the moment).


Here's the hug from 大包 which shows that she's not that lonely and cold after all.

So, 瑞恩, you deserved it. (Even thou receiving that award actually puts you in an uncomfortable moment on stage with millions of eyes staring at you live :p)

And thanks for making me utilise the 32" TV in my room.

*And do anyone realise that the snippets of the Best Actresses are all crying scenes!?*
