The Muppets was a fun, feel good movie. I loved and enjoyed watching it. It was great to see The Muppets back on the screen especially Kermit, The Frog and Miss Piggy. I really enjoyed watching the teaser and parody trailers (see links above) for this film. I love the new character Walter as well as Jason Segel as Gary and Amy Adams as Mary (even though she wasn't much in this film, but it was still nice to see her here). The opening song and dance number was cute and the song was catchy too. I couldn't help but sing (even long after the credits rolled...)  "I got everything I needed... Life is a happy song when you have someone by your side to sing along...." That part of the song was pretty catchy and was stuck in my head, lol. Also, I enjoyed watching Amy Adams' little solo singing performance in the film along with Miss Piggy.

Overall, The Muppets was a delightful and fun movie to watch with the whole family. It had a very good story, great casting (especially for the leads Jason Segel and Amy Adams), musical numbers, visuals, and various cameos (ie. Jack Black, Whoopi Goldberg, Selena Gomez, Alan Arkin, Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Neil Patrick Harris, etc.). Interesting both Emily Blunt and Alan Arkin had previously co-starred with Amy Adams in Sunshine Cleaning. This is a nice, fun movie to see this holiday season. Go see it with everyone in the family, if you haven't already!

 My The Muppets film rating: ! (9.5/10; A)

Film Review: The Proposal

Image
I saw this movie twice. First on its opening day at night with friends and the next day with my mother. I love Sandra Bullock ! She's one of my favorite actresses and I've seen pretty much every movie that she has released. I love her movies and I knew I'll love this one too. Also, I like or should I say now, I love Ryan Reynolds ! Hehe... I've seen him in Just Friends (he was very funny in that movie), Definitely, Maybe (he was good in that movie with Isla Fisher, Rachel Weisz , and Elizabeth Banks , but the movie was alright), and one of the recent blockbuster hit, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (He was fierce in that movie, lol). For this movie, I know I wanted to see it and have waited so long to see this, but I didn't expect too much 'cause when I do (even with my favorite actors in it), I often get disappointed when a movie I've waited and wanted to see for so long didn't match my excitement and expectations. So, I went and saw this movie with my

Celebrity Look-Alikes

Is it just me? or are you seeing what I'm seeing? ... you know, doubles (or make that triple-doubles in the first set of doubles' pics below ...) or look-alikes among the following famous celebrities, some of them happen to be my favorite actors. These celebs are often mistaken looking like the other and vice versa. Some have actually either met or worked together, while others have yet to meet or cross paths. Don't they all look-alike? Check out their pics below and see for yourself! First of...

Film Review: Confessions of a Shopaholic

Image
I've seen this movie's preview trailer months ago and thought it looked very funny, but never thought or planned to see it. I've never read the Shopaholic novels even though I've heard of them and seen the books in book stores (just never read it...perhaps now I will after seeing this movie), until one day, one of my older sisters highly recommended I see it. She told me it was the best movie she's seen in a long time...and that's very rare for her to say that about a movie that she likes/loves the most. She also told me that it was worth the money. So I said, ok, I'll watch it. And I did recently. I went to see it with my Mom and we were pleasantly surprised at how awesome, so much fun, very funny, cute, and entertaining this movie was. Anyways, here's my full review of...

Spanish Telenovelas

Image
This past summer, I actually had too much downtime that I surprised and found myself watching not just random movies, but I also ended up watching a few Spanish Telenovelas , lots of Korean Dramas , and some Taiwanese Dramas . I must admit I was not into watching them before until recently, as I got addicted into watching them, but mostly on K-Dramas (my post on it is coming up...soon!)...thank goodness for English subtitles ! I know these are not movies, but I thought I'd include them here, since I'm into watching them lately. So far, I've only seen a few Spanish Telenovelas as I haven't found anything really good that grabs my time and attention. These are a few that I've seen...

Foreign Films (Part 2)

Image
I've been watching so many random Foreign Films via Netflix for several years now or so as a lot of them were really, really good. I started posting Foreign Films part 1   (six years ago!) and it's been a while since I wrote more about this until now. I happen to have seen a lot in the past year and recently. So, I've compiled a list of the foreign movies I remember seeing. A lot of these films I saw, I didn't expect I would love and enjoy watching, and I like that. It's always the random movies that I didn't think I'd like, let alone enjoy watching, are the ones that I ended up loving and surprises me at the same time. Here are 25 Foreign Films  that I've seen most recently, which I've either liked (or didn't like at all) or loved watching...at least most of them...that I've compiled and listed below for you to check out and see that may be of interest to you (which you may or may not have seen yet)...
