Porridge Buffet ( & Spiderman)!

Ooooo...today is when Yvie and I go gouge ourselves silly at the Joaquim porridge buffet. Last time I went there was with Serena and gang three years ago.



I was actually planning to watch Spiderman 3 with Terence, Esther, Jeremy, Yali and my sis. we even planned a marathon to watch it on a half-a-mil AV system. Then on sunday, my sister said she watched it liao. And because I was not gonna be free to watch in the evening this week, terence and esther said they will watch it without me :(

SO...I jumped at the chance when Yvie asked me (initially I thot that she wasn't interested to watch) but since we gonna be out might as well catch the show right?



Warning: Some spoilers ahead, dun say i din warn u...

Well, Spiderman 3 is a nice conclusion to the trilogy (anyone caught Stan Lee as the cameo? IT was hilarious!)

Itz kinda sad how Harry had to die (but he din die in the comics right?) in the movie. But itz greatness showing the friendship that Pete and Harry had. Harry said that he would die for his frenz, and he did.

IT was also nice to see story of Flint Marko (notice how this name sounds like the Juggernaut's?);the different versions and that he was a person forced by pitiable circumstances that led to what he became. BUT the whole moral of the movie was that indeed with great powers come great responsibilty. And that we all have choices. And thank God for good frenz and loved ones to guide us and help us through to make the right choice.

ooo...and here's some dinner pics

Spidey 3!!! - A review (sort of)

S3- a fitting conclusion to the Spiderman trilogy

"With great power comes great responsibility" - Uncle Ben

Opened yesterday in Singapore (heard Japan beat us to seeing it first!), Spiderman 3 truly does not disappoint those who waited for it since the last Spiderman.
This third and final installment focus es on the personal life of Peter Benjamin Parker (aka our friendly neighbourhood hero, Spidey). I love how Sam Raimi brings in the alien suit(the dark side...veri Star Wars) and his relationship with MJ. Also introduced is Gwen Stacy (his sort of GF), Sandman and Peter Brock (the next to wear the alien suit thus becoming Venom).

I guess wat makes Spiderman so popular (unlike incredible hulk or FF which btw, is coming in June!!! The Rise of the Silver Surfer...watch out fer it!) is that it is the dream come true fer the geek in all of us...the ordinary guy gets bestowed with powers, the tragedy and relationship problems, juggling work, personal life and being a hero is no walk in the park. It makes Peter's life...believable and something we can relate to. Esp with the love triangle, the dark side, it makes Superman so...alien, so out of this world.

Well, I think 2hrs 40 mins is way too short fer so many elements in one movie. The movie could be too rushed and yet draggy at times when the movie tells the story of e.g. Sandman. Oh...and poor hobgoblin (or issit the green goblin?) seems to be such a loser...losing the girl and never getting anything he wants.

Bottom line: Possibly a 4 out of 5 stars
