MOVIE LISTING:

PS: I love you

(Synopsis) Holly (Hilary Swank) has been married nine years to a wild Irishman, Gerry Kennedy (Gerard Butler), and her one true love. Unfortunately for Holly, Gerry is diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. Knowing he only has a short time to live; Gerry writes Holly a series of letters that will guide her through her grief. The first message arrives on Holly's 30th birthday. Gerry has sent her a birthday cake and a tape recording explaining the letters that she will be getting in the mail. Over the next year, Gerry wants Holly to follow the orders in his letters by going on new adventures and to celebrate life by finding herself. Holly's best friends, Denise (Lisa Kudrow) and Sharon (Gina Gershon), accompany her on her journey. Gerry always signs off each letter with "P.S. I Love You." (My Comment) This is definitely a chick flick that will not only make you cry, but make you laugh, plus the women will fall in love with Gerard Butler. Gerard was excellent in his part and Hilary did a fine job as well. At first I didn't think Hilary could pull off the romantic comedy role, but in the end you get use to her doing it. Hilary actually makes you feel her pain and how devastated she was when her husband died. I guarantee you that you will tear up during several scenes. Overall it was an enjoyable chick flick that you can take a date. (Warner Bros. Pictures, Run Time 2:06, Rated PG-13) (7/10)

The Leap Years

Director Jean Yeo’s debut feature is a shining example of a film done right. It all started with a strong and simple love story adapted from the well-known author Catherine Lim’s novella by proper scriptwriters into the well-paced treat that is The Leap Years.
The film follows Li-Ann, a leap year baby through a period of 16 years, or 4 leap years and centres mostly on the days leading up to her birthday. Potrayed brilliantly by the charming Wong Li-lin, the character of Li-Ann was a likeable romantic who chances upon Jeremy (Ananda Everingham) at a cafe one day and blind-dates him using the Irish tradition about 29th February, which allows a woman to propose a date to a man.
They promise to meet every leap year, and from there the film throws at its characters every cliche plot point, including the long-suffering friend, K.S (Qi Yuwu) who has long harboured feelings for Li-Ann but eventually gives up and move on. Li-Ann herself too moves on and… I probably shouldn’t spoil this for you.
Interweaved with Li-Lin’s scenes were Joan Chen, who narrates the story (the voice is actually of Beatrice Chia’s) from the future, while shot strangely blurry, fitted nicely into the narrative flow of the movie.
The Leap Years is a typical true blue romantic flick that borrows from the strength of Catherine Lim’s story, and despite the numerous cliches about having love and lost, Singapore’s first English-language movie is a well-put together film that has high production values and visual appeal (thanks to Hong Kong DOP Henry Chung), and a wall-to-wall carpet of Corrine May as soundtrack which serves only to add to its long list of selling points.

I recently caught these 2 movies and they are really nice, although not award-winning performances but these 2 have something in common, both movies can touch us deep inside our harden heart. A movie for couples and a must see for those who loves romantic movies.

Ps: i love minnie.
