FUNNY PEOPLE is not supposed to be funny so I am a bit pissed reading reviews which slam it for not being funny. The only thing funny about it are the title and Eric Bana, okay?
Other than that, it's a sad portrayal of a comedian/celebrity's life. At the end of the day, it's about who are you fucking with and who's fucking you up really. Funny People is a mature treat from Judd Apatow and I use the term 'mature' loosely cause his frat and fart jokes are all still intact. It's just that he has gone slightly darker that's all. Hey, no sweat with me. As long as Seth Rogen continues with his witticism and stonerism, I'm all in. So yeah, I acknowledge this film is not funny but hey, not all funny people are funny all the time. It would have been even better if the film isnt so long, though.
JULIE AND JULIA is kind of awesome, especially whenever they have Meryl Streep on screen. The retro part of the film is great while the modern part with Amy Adams...not so great. It's good but, not great. This is definitely a feel good movie with food. Lots and lots of yummy, delicious, scrumptious food. I felt like running out for a good juicy steak while watching 'Julie' cook beef. It has that kind of effect on you.
This film to me is fluff. Nothing much to think about and nothing much to scratch your head after - which can be a good thing after you had sat through 2.5 hours of Funny People (it's too long!). Still, I recommend this over My Sister's Keeper anytime.
[End of review]
Yesterday, Weiling organised her daughter's 1-month-old celebration. I came at about 1830hrs with Liah+bf and Clara+bf joined us later in a bit. KC and BK were also there, sans partners. Thank God...otherwise, I would just dig a hole and die in a partner-less pit. I am okay with being single. It's just that when I feel singled out for being single...now, that's a sticky one.
Anyway...Megan!
