Miss Chong's virgin attempt at persuading one and all to watch movie.

Must watch for everyone: The Last Samurai
While Mr Cruise may not be looking his best, we must all learn that sometimes (at times we cannot help it) watching a movie is not exactly about how great the lead actor look like. Yes we all drool over Legolas, but we need to learn how to appreciate the show too. And thus, this is the very show which has it all: Drama, Action, Thrill, Romance, National Pride, Questions, Ponders, Smiles, Tears. Miss Chong gives it 4/5. If you watch it on DVD, probably you won't feel that whole omph.

Must watch those who love Charles Dickens and/or the 18th Century London like me/ watched Great Expectations and loved it: Nicholas Nickleby
This show is made in 2002, I'm not sure why it only just came to Singapore, and only at Cathay. Pity. It's indeed true that not all Singaporeans will appreciate that show. I experience it myself by seeing the number of people leaving the theatre to pee. And the show aint even but 2 hours. That did not happen at the 241 in LOTR, so there, perhaps sweeping conclusion, but I should believe it so. The show is in everyway you can expect a Dickens adaptation to be. Oh did I tell you I really luurrrrrrrrrrrvvvvve 18th Century London?

Miss Chong gives a biase 4/5, maybe 4.25/5.

And Paycheck is 3.5/5. Nothing to say about it, but erm, Can watch.
