Love Letters at Sixty / Dear My Love/ 60-sai no rabu reta/ 60歳のラブレター (2009)

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Romantic Comedy

Finally! Took forever to find a description on the Internet. Based on a novel, talks about love for various people at age 60. Pretty heart-warming. Not your usual J-pop comedy. Too arty-farty to be brought in via main-stream distributorship, am glad I was able to catch this in Mio Home TV.

The Cherry Orchard/ Sakura no sono/ 櫻の園 -さくらのその- (2008)

Rating:	★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Foreign

Another offering from Mio Home TV movie channel. No male leads in the show, all Japanese female cast. Talks about high school girls wanting to put up a school play, a rendition of Anton Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard". At times philosophical, at time whimsical, all chick-flick. Might be a slow-paced for those who wants "Waterboys" or "Swing Girls" kinda show.

One for the Money (2012)

Rating:	★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Comedy

Okay, I confess, I watched this only to look at Katherine Heigl in jeans and boots. Plot's pretty straight-forward and predictable, lotsa conversation, chick-flick. I think I might enjoy the book better? Not to say this movie sucks, but it is pretty forgettable.

Lunch at 老街肉骨茶 (03 Feb '12)

We had a splendid lunch at the new BKT place near our office at Little Road. Thankfully we managed to get a place before the lunch crowd hits. It's a minimal wait of 30 minutes if you don't get there early. The deocr is posh, you can drink gong-fu tea (功夫茶), and the food is absolutely OOOMMMPPPHHH!

I Love Hong Kong 2012/ 2012我愛HK 喜上加囍 (2012)

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Comedy

One of the Chinese New Year films, not that deep or big on plot, but with gags-a-minute. Funnier if you had caught the taiwanese hit "You Are The Apple Of My Eye" <<那些年，我們一起追的女孩>>.

Cheer Cheer Cheer!/ フレフレ少女 / Fure Fure Shojo (2008)

Rating:	★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Foreign

Another free movie offering from Mio Home TV movie channels. One of those more forgettable Japanese films. Makes me wonder if this is really an extra-curricular activity in Japan?

My Week With Marilyn (2011)

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Drama

Nice dramatization, with solid acting. Should get my hands on the book. Am genuinely surprised at the casting of the big names, and wondering why more people aren't watching this film. Brit wit, with blonde blonde bombshell, what's not to like!?
