INTOLERABLE CRUELTY

hmmm, my friends comment dat my site is too masculine. where is e feminine side? no emotions, too much football, f1 n no personal reviews. i guess perhaps i am not someone who is ready 2 share my personal things in life. n also some things i would prefer sharing with veli close, loved ones. i still perhaps wan 2 maintain dat privacy bit of myself n not making my blog into a diary of myself. talking about feminine, actually my group is interested 2 do a project 4 our module Management & Human Relations about feminine in terms of leadership n power in organizations. veli interesting topic, expecially in our asian culture context. will share something about it if i find some interesting things from our research. but dun get e wrong ideas, i am no feminist.

btw class, e topic 2day is INTOLERABLE CRUELTY. i will try 2 push in more things dat r not defined as entirely "masculine". hehe! e topic would suggest dat it is going 2 b a terror discussion. but it is actually a romantic comedy starring george clooney n 1 of e sexiest females on earth, catherine zeta jones. michael douglas is SOOOO DAMN LUCKY!!!! she is 1 person i would really wan 2 sketch in future. i watched e trailer, i anticipated it 2 b a nice movie. sometimes trailers can lie. so it is better 2 go n watch it urself n judge.

i am not a veli good reviewer of movies becoz i believe dat e taste of movies is TOO MUCH DIFFERENT from people 2 people. i experienced it when discussing with people. e different types of movies available n e favouritism 2wards particular actors/actresses will affect ur perception of a good or bad movie. so e variations is so great dat i dun wan 2 start a discussion n e argument will go on until e cow comes home. but generally, 1st impression is it will b a good movie.

i will give a short synopsis of e movie. miles massey (george clooney), a popular LA divorce attorney has everything. despite his long list of clients, a great winning record, e respect of his peers n an ironclad contract (the "massey pre-nup") named after him, he's reached a crossroads in his life. mid-life crisis perhaps? hehe! thinking about his life. boredom has set in since he is sick of winning (like michael jordan?) n he's looking 4 new obstacles/challenges. all dat changes when miles meets his match in the devastating marylin rexroth (catherine zeta-jones).

marylin is e soon-to-be ex-wife (complex, hope i get tis rite) of his client rex rexroth, a wealthy real estate developer. with e help of of a private investigator gus petch, she has rex beaten n is looking forward 2 e financial rewards a successful divorce will bring. but becoz of miles' skills, she got nothing. not 2 b outdone, marylin of coz wanted revenge n as part of her plan, quickly marries oil tycoon howard doyle. miles n his associate, wrigley (chewing gum?), unwittingly dig themselves in deeper n deeper as they battle with marylin. underhanded tactics, deceptions and an undeniable attraction escalate as marylin n miles square off in their own battle of e sexes.

nice story plot eh? well, cinemas cost alot here in s'pore, so i dunno when i can watch it. also no time 2 go out n have fun. i like e music, it sounds veli jazzy n characters feel veli retro. anyway, ENGAGE E ENEMY, IN SESSION 10 OCTOBER 2003. C U IN COURT! hehe! :)
