A movie I watched recently...

I always wanted to watch this movie- 'Jersey Girl', so I bought it from this dvd shop at somerset quite some time ago...

The previous night, I took it out to watch...

Was quite shock, haha...

Anyway, the back of the dvd says it's ..

Ollie Trinke (Ben Affleck) is a smooth and successful Manhattan music publicist who seems to have it all. When his perfect life is suddenly tragically upended - leaving him as a single father unqualified for the role - he snaps.
Before long Ollie's big city life is a memory. Out of a job and out of luck, he reluctantly moves in with his father (George Carlin) back home to the New Jersey suburb where he was raised. It is the lowest point in his life. Just ask him.
The years pass and with them Ollie's plans for his future. Stuck in an unexciting, dead-end job, he sees no way out and no way back to the life he used to love. But he adores his young daughter Gertie (Raquel Castro), and she loves their life in the 'burbs. To her, Jersey is paradise.
While renting Gertie's favorite movie for the zillionth time one day, Ollie meets Maya (Liv Tyler), who challenges his priorities and perspective. He begins to realize that sometimes you have to forget about who you thought you were, accept who you are and acknowledge what makes you happy.
A dramatic comedy from writer/director, Kevin Smith, JERSEY GIRL reveals the honest, heartfelt and often amusing story about the man who wanted it all but got all that he needed.
JERSEY GIRL also stars Jason Biggs, Jennifer Lopez, Stephen Root, and Mike Starr.

Why I was shocked... well... I bought the dvd cos I like Liv Tyler (from LOTR- Arwen... so demure, gentle, lovely, etc...) and I like Ben Affleck (from Pearl Harbor, Pay check, etc...) too... Tot, after Armageddon, what kinda chemistry will there be between the two stars... hee hee, like I said, it was kinda shocking... their character was really very different from my interpretation of them... maybe that's why they are good actor/ actresses. :)

Anyway, it's a nice movie, the little girl is really cute and pretty! :) Nice story about dad and daughter. Just that it's v american... the lifestyle and everything... :)

Anyway, maybe I've not mention yet... I'm a movie fan. I love watching movies and collecting movies as well.. I used to buy a lot of dvd... at one time, I was crazy abt collecting movies and I ended up buying quite a lot and then, I was really broke with all these expenditure... :) However, for some movies that I really like I'll take them out to watch time after time, etc... For instance, my lord of the rings trilogy... pirates of the carribean... pearl harbor... etc.. some movies I've watched 2x 3 x already! :p

My fav actresses... erm... I dunno... I kinda like Kate Beckinsale, tot she's v pretty. haha... And, I think Kirsten Dunst is talented... Oh, yes... my fav is non other than Julia Roberts! I love her acting and she's really beautiful! :) I think 'Erin Brockovich' was really good, she acted really well... I always wanted to watch ' My Best Friend's Wedding' (the dvd I bought actually has cracks, so sad...)... I like her since 'Pretty Women'! :)

Fav actors... haha, I like cute guys! :D Erm... well... I like Brad Pit, Tom Cruise (both off them are really cool and suave! ;p)... Johnny Depp (he acts really really well!)... Ben Affleck n Josh Harnett (from Pearl Harbor, that's why)... And of course the uprising Orlando Bloom (our dearest Legolas from LOTR).

Yup, that's all for now... will introduce more movies another time! :)
