movie marathon

Since Elvis was away in HK, i decided to watch a movie on my own last night.

I picked Passengers (2008) which i knew was going to be a little bit scary...but i'm a big girl now...no big deal! Okay, i'm a middle-aged woman. But truth is, after i finished it, i was really quite terrified! You know, about ghosts and all... Yes, i'm a coward.

The movie was a bit of a drag...but it's quite nice lah. Has an ending which you kinda never thought of. And Anne Hathaway is always nice to watch! ;)

Here's the plot:
After a plane crash, a young therapist, Claire, is assigned by her mentor to counsel the flight's five survivors. When they share their recollections of the incident -- which some say include an explosion that the airline claims never happened -- Claire is intrigued by Eric, the most secretive of the passengers. Just as Claire's professional relationship with Eric -- despite her better judgment -- blossoms into a romance, the survivors begin to disappear mysteriously, one by one. Claire suspects that Eric may hold all the answers and becomes determined to uncover the truth, no matter the consequences.

After that, since my mind couldnt stop thinking of the "dark forces" (and i was ALONE), i decided to continue with Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) which i knew was going to be a funny one.

True enough, i find myself laughing silly in the living room! I hate movies with no "real" ending. This is such...but i didnt even feel frustrated at the end of it! These are the typical movies Elvis likes to buy - never heard of movie including its actors & actress. Sometimes he just buys it for its silly-looking cover or some "ad director". But this is a must-watch! And needless to say, i had a good sleep after the movie!

Here's the plot:
Poppy (Sally Hawkins) is an irrepressibly cheerful primary school teacher who won't let anyone or anything get her down. Even when her bicycle, which she so happily rides through the busy streets of London is stolen, her first thought is only, "I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye." Living with her flatmate Zoe (Alexis Zegerman), Poppy has a gift of making the most of her life. Determined to learn to drive, she finds herself matched with Scott (Eddie Marsan), an uptight driving instructor who is everything she is not. From Director Mike Leigh (of Secret and Lies 1996 & Vera Drake 2004) HAPPY-GO-LUCKY is a laugh-out-loud comedy about having fun, looking for love and getting on with life.
