Thanks to Nuffnang's Premiere Screening, I brought my godmother to TGV 1U yesterday night for Ghosts of Girlfriends Past ^^

It was my first Nuffnang screening, so I wasn't very sure how to collect the tickets, and for a moment I panicked and wondered if I really had been invited for the show, but luckily everything turned out alright XD

The Case

So, how was the movie? W-ell.... if you really have to watch it, there's nothing to lose ^^

While not particularly good, it's no hardship to sit through the entire movie as it's rather fast-paced and entertaining.

The jokes can get cheesy and overtly sexual though, so just a little warning for the sexually adversed XD

Besides, there really are some gems of a momment. Teehee.


Surprisingly, with Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner in the lead, the best acting and scenes come from those involving some of the supporting cast.


We especially loved Noureen DeWulf's Melanie - the no nonesense, long suffering assistant to McConaughey's Connor Mead :)


Another surprise was Emma Stone's sometimes annoying but funny Allison Vandermeersh, Connor's ghost of girlfriends past.

Michael Douglas is also credible as the womanizing and very much dead Uncle Wayne, who is a (wicked XD ) father figure to Connor.



Lastly, Kasey Russel and Devin Brochu are simply adorable as the young Coner and Jenny Perotti. Hehe, there'll definitely be an "aww..." moment when the two youngsters light up the screen ^^

Look out for a sexay Christina Milian as tween popstar Keelia as well =D




Time After Time, one of the songs featured in the movie :)

Verdict

Overall, 5.5/10. Doesn't matter if you don't watch the movie, but doesn't hurt as well to give it a go =)


P/S: The I *heart* Nuffnang can badge is cute ^^

New blog topic section today =)

P.C. Ichigo Ramen's Reviews: Edition 1

Beauskin Painless Hair Removal Plate

Claims to:

Painlessly remove hair.

Looks:

Pastel pink. Top part not unlike the underside of an UFO. Seriously.

How it works:

Gently rub the plate in a circular motion on your skin. Apparently not advisable to use plate as a scrub or use on wet skin.

P.C. I.R's thoughts:

My heart was set on getting this, no thanks to my genes (it's karma, my mom ate loads of hairy crabs when she had me >.< ) and because "nice Asian girls" are supposed to have skin that resembles a diving platform: smooth and hairless.

So... after shelling out RM9 for this from an online store and eagerly unwrapping it, I was immediately faced with a problem. (Note: ebay is selling the exact product for around AUD6 and SGD9)

Almost as if to prove the authenticity of the product, there are absolutely no English instructions. Everything is in Japanese. Thank goodness for the WWW.

Another gripe about the Asian stereotype is that "nice Asian girls" are at the maximum a petite small M size. Once again, thanks to my genes, I'm more towards a large M/small L size.

As the product is quite small, about standard palm size, the surface area that the plate covers is actually quite small. Compare 5 mins to shave a pair of legs with at least 1 hour of "gentle circular motions". Unless i'm feeling particularly lesisurely, I'll take the shaver anytime pls.

Test time:

Patience aside, the plate does almost nothing for me in the hair removal department. Imagine sandpapering your skin, just with a much gentler feel. After a few rubs, the pad on the plate sort of lost it's mojo.

Erm... random as I may be, I'm not keen on achieving the single patch of hairless skin look.

The verdict:

Don't bother getting it for effectiveness. An epilator, Veet, or ye plain ole shaver seems miraculous compared to this little gizmo.
