i watched this film by myself once again without any expectations. i saw the trailer and thought it's a good film to see. i'm not a fan of Kristen nor Chris but still, the trailer caught my eye. and i'm glad i did watch it. i was totally surprise at how much i liked it. it reminds me of a lot of the films i've seen before and yet i didn't feel that the scenes were forced or something like that.

Charlize was just superb being the evil queen. i've seen her play a lot of roles that are totally the opposite of being evil and yet she's so convincing being one! Kristen, on the other hand, was also good. well, a lot have said that she's good but with her Twilight acting, a lot also have said how boring her acting was. but hey, Bella is actually a boring character and she played it just right. anyhow, though i also got bored watching her as Bella, she was good playing Snow White. i think it's the fact that she spoke less in this film that made her really good. 'coz when she delivered the final lines in the film, i kinda cringed since it's not powerful at all. i mean, being the queen already and such, i don't think she's convincing with that kind of line delivery. well, that's me. and i thought for a second that she'd fall and tumble wearing that armor. haha she's darn thin and tiny! but despite those unkind remarks of mine, i still think she was good in this film.

Chris, goodness, was huge! i mean, built-wise. i haven't seen Thor nor The Avengers so i really don't have an idea how big he is even if i know he is one. seeing him as the Huntsman, well, i was mesmerized and distracted. in a very good way. can't help but just look at his eyes whenever he's the focus. i actually like Liam more over Chris but i can't help but admiring the big bro as well. those two are just eye-candies! :) acting-wise, well, i think he was ok. i mean, not that he's not good but i think that there's only little acting needed to play the role. but i think he's the perfect Huntsman. right?

Sam, the duke's son, was ok. just like Chris. i mean, same thought, little acting needed to play Snow White's Prince Charming. but i'm convinced that after the long years of being separated from his childhood friend/love, his love for her is real and pure. i guess he just needed to prove it to her.

just like how the hunky-Huntsman should prove if he really was indeed falling for Snow.

watched Dark Shadows with my sister today.
it was a nice film.
Johnny Depp's really good, as always.
but it's not enough to distract me from missing Chaps+.

Watched The Lakehouse, which stars Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, yesterday with my mom and sister. As planned, we watched it twice. We're already at the cinema for the first screening hour and then went again on the 2nd screening. My mom can't get enough of Keanu, that's for sure, that she watched it again today with her friend from her previous work. She's still planning to watch it with her other sets of friends. she won't stop until it's been replaced by a new one. 

                               

Anyways, I'm glad that Hollywood remained true (for a change) to the original film, Il Mare - a korean film with Jeon Je Hyun and Lee Jung Jae, where it was based. Well, they did modify some of the characters' background as well as added a few scenes and stoylines.

As a whole, I was not disappointed with the Hollywood adoptation of Il Mare, and I'm glad I wasn't. I like Il Mare from the time i've seen it about a year ago and I was actually a bit hesitant to watch the Hollywood version since Hollywood is notorious for, how should I say it nicely, adopting something but totally changing it, just like The Ring. And just what my mom said earlier, it's good that they had Keanu Reeves. I mean, I know that a number really don't like him and the way he acts, but we must admit that he's a total hottie and really popular. I'm no big Keanu-fan, as what I said from my past post, but I always watch his film. He acts fairly ok. I liked him from the time he played Neo in Matrix. And to those who hasn't seen the original version, I recommend that you guys watch it. Not for comparison purposes or whatsover but it's always good to see the orginal one, right? And oh, I actually ripped the insert songs from Il Mare from a long time ago. It's really a good one. I also like the songs from The Lake House. I hope to see a copy on our music stores here from where I am.
