Movie Review: Vampires Suck

It was bound to happen. The dream film that all Twilight dissers wished for is out. The parody that makes fun of everything sparkling, wolfish & lame is now in cinemas.

Plot
Becca Crane (oh what a name! LOL!) moves to Sporks & is attracted to Edward Sullens. Remaining faithful to the Twilight Saga where the movie is based on, the plot takes crucial elements & events from the saga & adds comedic twists to it. Since the entire Twilight saga is a joke, you can imagine the hilarity of watching other people imitate the characters from Stephenie Meyer's imagination.
Cast
Kudos to Jenn Proske for imitating Kirsten Stewart right down to the pathetic acting, hair tucking & hesitant movements. Her imitation was flawless & downright hilarious to watch! She stands out from the rest of the cast because I imagine it's tough to play a character with NO character at all! The rest of the cast has limited development because...well, there's not much character development in the original movies, but they did well to bring out the jokes that were plentiful!
Music
The soundtrack comprises some of the music used during key segments of the Twilight films, such as the unusually placed guitar riffs here & there. It became eerie to hear the music being played in a film besides those from the saga. Pretty eerie.
Conclusion
The film had some brilliant jokes (well they ARE making fun of Twilight!) & some pretty lame ones. To be honest, if not for the fact that I hate Twilight, I probably won't be watching this film. It comes off as too desperate sometimes & I always believe that a parody should draw from the original film & twist it to be funny; this film had too many new elements that are, sadly, not new to the world of parodies. A good effort & it was fun to watch. Definitely not for those Twitards :p

When is the Right Age to Marry?

Image
I went out with Grandma today & she made a light threat that I marry before her time is up. *knocks wood* *true story* That made me think: assuming she's still around for the next 10 yrs, I've less than that to find someone to spend the rest of my life with. In Malaysia, the minimum age of marriage is 18 with parental consent, 21 without parental consent. Having been in 2 serious relationships & both lasting for 4 months, I'd say I've little to no experience in having a deep relationship with another person. I'm 23 now, I remember being 18 & bragging that I'll have at least 10 boyfriends before I wed at 30.  Pfft. How reality has changed that estimation for me; at best, I can hope to meet Mr. Right within the next 5 yrs & start preparing for life as Mrs. Right. It won't be easy finding Mr. Right especially when Mom has a list of requirements for me to follow; I swear my ears ring everytime she tells me that "your husband

Fancy a Massage in Bangsar?

Image
I'm a fan of massages, I like people rubbing the aches away. Good thing massage centres are common in Malaysia and I've surveyed a few places in Bangsar so here's the rundown: 1) Chow Yang Reflexology This is probably the most popular massage centre in Bangsar. Their staff are local or from either Myanmar or Thailand. You need a high pain threshold to enjoy their foot massage; you might find it enjoyable if you prefer the strong kind of massage. I only tried their food and shoulder; unfortunately my neck ached more the next day and I never tried it again.  2) Everhealth This is a popular massage chain and the staff are China nationals, so communication is difficult. However the staff are polite, plus they have a variety of rooms (private and sharing). I got a young female masseuse during my 1st experience; she wasn't very strong and didn't get all the aches out. The 2nd time I tried the traditional body massage and the masseuse was STRONG! Check out their

Here We Go Again...

Frankly I can't be the only one annoyed with all this talk about using English vs mother tongue for Science & Maths, right? I did an article about that previously.  All this talk is starting to piss me off. Why? Apparently many Malaysians are freaking ignorant & plain DUMB. I sent a letter to the Star explaining my stand on this issue, so I'll put it here (I don't know if it'll be published but frankly, enough is enough): "Hi I'm writing in response to the letter by CONCERNED CITIZEN on 18 June in the Star "What about English in Accountancy". My sister studied in form 6 arts stream, now she's studying accounting at a private university; although her major subjects were taught in Malay at form 6, she had no problem switching to English at the university level. This brings me to my point that the root of the problem is many young Malaysians these days aren't speaking enough English, hence the worry that they can't cope with the chan
