watched 2 movies performed by jennifer aniston this week.
and
caught the first one on a sunday afternoon with my friends @ tp. the main reason for wanting to watch was because of one of my friends in my clique wanted to catch it. and i thought it is an all-star featuring show. so it should be quite nice. the show is about 2 hrs long or in fact more than that. it is a comedy about relationships and there are 4 main story lines. one about a woman who goes into MySpace, the other lady who always go for dates and hopes to progress into another stage but always gets rejected, the third one is a complicated relation involving a married couple and 2 other persons and the last one about a woman who wishes to get married after 7 years of cohabiting together with his boyfriend.
i preferred the first one and the last one. the first one is funny and sarcarstic at the same time. funny performance by Drew Barrymore, sarcarstic because of the message it is trying to bring across about how technology actually kills real dating and the really-getting-together thing.
the last one is sweet and the performance by Ben Affleck and Jennifer Anniston is natural too.
It is quite a good show, but probably because i held a higher expectation and the fact that it is an all star movie, so not everyone gets enough stage presence. besides, it is not that kind of movie where you will still remember the plot and the lines after watching. so it is probably a forgettable type. Yet it is still nice and you would want to consider spending one afternoon watching.
***********************************************************************************
watched on thursday night with my sister. reason being that i wanted to watch because i-weekly gave it 4 stars. besides the critic wrote really well which made me eager to catch it on the 1st day of its release.
And everyone should catch this show in my opinion. whether or not you love dogs.
first of all, please really prepare tissues if you are catching this show.
it is not really a comedy actually, but it is not a serious-tone movie either.
marley steals the show, although credits must be given to jennifer aniston and owen wilson for their performance. their chemistry is good and marley and the couple makes the story flows really well. it make you seem like you are part of them as you watch the movie. not going to talk about the plot here, but it stretches over at least more than 10 years, talking about the life changes that this couple go through (namely having 3 children, owen wilson getting a job change, jennifer aniston quitting her job) as marley accompanies them through their life journey. light-hearted with a sense of good humour. the 1st hour of the show is like a light appetizer.
moving on the last 20minutes of the show, please get ready all your tissue papers. no matter whether you are a dog lover or not, you are probably just going to tear like anything. as the dog grows older and shows signs of leaving...and the movie goes on to show you flashbacks...certain scenes that will probably make you cry could be:
jenny (the lead character's name played by jennifer aniston) knowing that this was the last time she was going to see the dog, what owen wilson said to the dog, how the dog behaved...
ya. so just let go and cry. dont feel ashamed of crying because i could hear the sounds of people pulling out tissue papers or sounds of audiences crying.
YES. please do go and watch. lolz
smile always
take care
