The Ugly Truth
Caught this movie over the weekend. It must be one of the best rom-com's i've seen in recent times.
The last one we watched, The Proposal, was too contrived, with the leap from enemies to lovers too abrupt and sudden.
This one had build-up. The look in Gerard Butler's eye, Katerine Heigl's expressions... made you believe that the story was even possible.
A few good scenes, including an electrifying salsa scene sealed it.
Gerard Butler's character said a lot of real truth about men. Women ought to watch this as a documentary (several dozen times) - ha.
All in all. Go watch it.
However, i must admit, throughout the movie, all I could think of whenever Gerard Butler came on screen was....
WE ARE SPARTA!!!!!
He IS one brilliant actor.
P.S> See below for The Real Ugly Truth.

What Happened?
And now, I don't recognise anyone in those pictures.
Am am totally out of the scene?
Maybe its a sign of getting older. I don't feel like turning up at these events now.
Have I become uncool? =(

Diary of a Sex Addict
We caught this film over the week, and I must say, it was one of the better films I've seen. The pace was appropriate, the story was moving and the acting... very good. I highly recommend you to watch it!
I shan't spoil it for you on what the story is about. But do be prepared for gratuitous scenes of naked writhing bodies and some shots of p*nises. =P
We watched it in a cinema of people whom I'm not sure knew what the movie was about entirely. Mistimed laughter at serious scenarios and sniggers at naked bodies... tsk...
