Hey Jude.. dont let her down

This weekend was a series of musical movies. From Enchanted on Friday to Across the Universe on Saturday...

Enchanted..(malay translation: Terpesona!) is one of those feel good movies (not surprisingly since it came from Disney) which makes your heart go 'La la la lala..'.A children's romantic comedy.. complete with princesses ... an old hag.. poison apples and a handsome lawyer ( aha?!)
The official tagline : A classic Disney fairytale collides with modern-day New York City in a story about a fairytale princess from the past who is thrust into present-day by an evil queen...
Things to look out for : Mc Dreamy singing! and doing this kooky dance at the end.
Things i noticed and just have to point out : Giselle who after spending a horrible day in the real world..her face all smudged with dust and smoke.. her lovely white dress tattered and greyish.. her hair all over the place... but the one thing .. the ONE thing that still remained perfect was her lips! like boy.. I gotta know which fairy-God-mother did she go to for those perfect glossy lips! It was nice and shiny but not over the top.. just the right shade and stays shiny all day long! :-p


Across the Universe : This one i really didnt know what to expect since i never heard about it before except that it was supposed to be based on some Beatles song. Well was i in for a surprise. It was definitely a musical with different renditions of various song by the The Beatles..to name a few.. Strawberry Fields Forever.. Hey Jude...While My Guitar Gently Weeps.. I Am The Walrus (cooo cooo cachooo).. I Want To Hold Your Hand..Coincidently the characters names were all based on the titles or lyrics of some of The Beatles songs. It was very.. if i may say Arty.. and slightly weird but in a good way. and Id say a good watch for you creative minds. My first impression of the movie was i thought it was an Indie.. so i think you can guess the kind of storyline, scenes , direction of the movie.
Things to look out for : The blue tall men. Very the.. ermm....another word for weird?.. Id love to be one of those.. bobbing my head about. :-p
and Jim Sturgess (Jude.. as in from the Hey Jude! song) who has a very delicious Liverpool accent and a wonderful strong husky singing voice... also lookout for Bono and Salma Hayek who makes a cameo appearance.
Things I noticed and just have to point out : I think i would SOOO fit in , in the 60's era. I dont know.. all that flower power.. colourful clothes... pot smoking... acting radical. being unique.. eccentric.. its just seems so exciting. Although i really wonder how anybody can get any work done at that era. ;). I bet people whose parents come from that age must be really cool!.
