Quick announcement: I’m going to be having my first radio interview on Monday with the new Business FM (BFM) 89.9 in Klang Valley. I’m going to be interviewed by a very nice Norina Yahya who has in the past interviewed people the likes of Michelle Yeoh, Lilian Too and some of our local Ministers.
If you’re on the way to work or college around 8AM-9AM, tune in and listen to me embarrass myself ok? Haha
The movie Mamma Mia just came out this week. Hundreds of Nuffnangers were among the first to get the chance to watch the movie at a Nuffnang screening we had on Tuesday… but I had to miss it since I was in Manila for work 🙁
So the very next day I got back, I raced for the cinema and watched the movie! When the Nuffies talked about it that afternoon Firdauz mentioned that I probably wouldn’t like the movie since it’s a musical and it’s true, I’m not a huge fan of musicals.
And this is what I have got to say about the movie:
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!
It was unbelievable!!!
Throughout the whole movie I was singing and dancing in my seat… and when I wasn’t doing that I was waving my hands in the air…. I’m surprised the people around me didn’t get me kicked out of the cinema.
Let me just try to narrow down why I loved the movie.
1) It was so fun.. great songs.. I LOVE ABBA!
2) Unlike some other musicals I’ve seen in the past, this one actually had some proper conversation when it wasn’t suitable to sing a song. You know I don’t quite have a thing for movies where almost every single line in the movie had to be sung.
3) Where in many musicals, you often get American Idol kind of singers with strong voices.. like Dreamgirls with Beyonce…. this time in Mamma Mia I felt that the singers (as much as many of them were good)… were like doing it in a very casual kind of singing.
It’s like you can imagine yourself in there singing too.
You know… perhaps ABBA’s songs are relatively easy to sing but the casual feel of the movie made me want to sing along…. and yes that includes Pierce Brosnan’s not so perfect singing. I admit, I burst out laughing when he first started singing but I’m so glad he was in the movie.
4) MERYL STREEP IS AMAZING… that actress is just… WOW! I mean… from Devil Wears Prada to this… she can do ANY MOVIE!!!
MERYL STREEP.. IF YOU’RE READING THIS… I THINK YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!
5) AMANDA SEYFRIED IS SOOO CUTE/HOT…. well both! (I can’t decide)
This movie is a must watch!!! And I REALLY MEAN IT!!!
I left the cinema with a big smile on my face and I wanna watch it again!!!!!
Call me a chick, call me a woman, call me a little fag… I DON’T CARE… I LOVE MAMMA MIAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mamma Mia… here I go again… my my… how could I resist you!
Here’s the trailer if you guys haven’t watched it yet….
