Is it July yet?!


     I was in the vicinity of Shaw's Lido Cinema the other day and came across this most pleasing sight.  Considering I was a tad unwell, I dare say it was definitely a balm to my sore eyes! Shaw has always been good at getting the dates of the Twilight saga movies' release in Singapore. I was delighted to see that the release date has been confirmed as 1 July.

     At first I was a little dismayed that it was not the same date as the release date in the US since it means I will have to wait another two weeks of avoiding spoilers before watching it for myself but my friends have reminded me that it's only released on 30 June in the US. And hey, considering the time difference, 30 June and 1 July is about the same day so I don't have to avoid spoilers and we can all squee together!

     So seriously, is it July yet?

     On an aside, I thought it was apt that the poster was next to Remember Me.  I saw that movie and thought Rob was amazing in it, as were the other actors. I know lots of people didn't think much of it but what's wrong with a story about father-son relationships, father-daughter relationships, brother-sister relationships, and a reminder not to wait to tell someone you love them? Must it all be about action, thriller or horror?

     The 9/11 premise is secondary though it provided the greatest impact. I was emotionally transfixed at the end, even as I knew how it would transpire and had braced myself for it. Those people who are very keen to say that Robert Pattinson can't act outside of the Twilight Saga need to have their eyes checked and their sensory glands tuned!

     On another earlier occasion, I caught sight of the Remember Me poster in another location near Shaw Lido.


     It was placed next to Agora that stars Rachel Weisz. Awww... I thought how cute considering that Rachel will play Rob's mother in an upcoming film, Unbound Captives, also starring Hugh Jackman. Now, if only it could find the backing it needs. It promises to be a very interesting film and I hope they will go on as planned.
