Twilight weekend

Work has finally quieten down and I can finally breathe again but I haven't got any extra holidays so it's gonna be a quiet time in the office next week..

This weekend, I managed to catch up on proper sleep-time which I didn't have in the last few weeks.

After doing spring cleaning this weekend I met up with Ivy for our movie dinner night. We went to Sakura's for some Japanese: I like the fast service and the sushi's ain't bad for the price we pay. I forgot how rude the waiters/waitresses are though-it took us four times to get refills on our green tea and there were several times the waitress tried to take our sushi assuming we finished our food when we clearly haven't!
Despite that, the sushis are good and reasonable so we just bear with the lack of service...

Then it was off to Leicester Square for our movie night-Twilight the movie. The movie is based on Stephanie Meyer book which has been successful especially in America.
People in Malaysia have been raving about this movie especially the guy who plays Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). I was intrigued how this pale guy who played Cedric in Harry Potter could be such a big star especially amongst teenage girls within a short space of time.

I was expecting a Buffy Vampire Slayer type film and expecting someone like the character of Angel.
Unfortunately, Robert Pattinson didn't bring out the character of Edward Cullen as readers of the book would have liked and imagined....The chemistry between Edward and Bella in the movie appeared sub zero at times and the inexperience of the young cast was apparent at times as Edward (Robert Pattinson) awkwardly having conversations and displaying his affections to Bella.

Some scenes appear disjointed at times e.g. Edward turned from Bella's biology lab partner into someone Bella fell in love with overnight yet we couldn't see their relationship develop in the movie.


Yet, it wasn't a bad movie like the baseball scene partly because it had "SuperMassive Black Hole"-Muse playing in the background, the scene where he introduced her to his family and the prom scene.

Robert Pattinson may look good in a black suit but if only he could act -the movie could have been awesome rather than being another teenage romance movie...

However, due to the popularity of its book I think we should expect a sequel to this movie in the near future....

Let's hope the acting is better in the next one....
