I had just watched a simple yet wonderful film - Under The Tuscan Sun.
A just-divorced writer, Frances, had went to Tuscany on a happy-gay-tour and end up buying an amazing villa. When Frances' new home is under renovation process, she has go through the heart-breaking moments and new-found happiness. Soon Frances has befriended with the people around her. And her prayer to San Lorenzo has been quickly answer - to cook for someone... .. shortly she has to cook for plenty of someone :) . After the renovation, Frances' wishes had came true and happily ever after.
Under The Tuscan Sun, based on a book-memoir by Frances Mayes, is a humourous and heartwarming film. Watch the story. Watch Frances. Watch Tuscany. Hopefully... .. happy surprises to everyone :)
Diane Lane had bring the character of Frances to so much life! Woww... Bravo Diane :)
I am glad to know Diane Lane from this film as I had 'never' seen her before!
Tuscany.. breathtaking Tuscany... .. had made me even more wanted to visit Italy :)

Exciting Narnia!!!
This morning, my family had celebrated my dad's birthday at the Red Star Restaurant. I find the dim sum are just "so-so only" but what I do like about the Red Star is the 80's ambience! .. heeee.. .. The waitress are still pushing the cart around the restaurant :) . On the way out, there were a long queue of customer forming at the waiting area! Oh, so are these people coming for the dim sum or the atmosphere? :p
Well, after that.. I went to watch The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. Oh, the film turned out to be more entertaining than I had expected! A few days ago, I had came across a certain newspaper's reporter, ermm.. editor, had given quite an average review with some 'complaints' about the family film. Well, luckily I choose to ignore his comments, once again, to watch Narnia. The film had given me some excitement moments, even though I expect good ending at the end of the show.. hee... .. I am delighted to watch this amusing film :) . In fact, I would be even more happy to sit through more than 2 and 1/2 hrs for the show!
The reporter mention about the loopholes in the film: why do the bad guys built the bridge when the good guys could just stroll across the river? Well, I thought the bridge could let the troops manouvre across the river with more efficent than across the water (running across the river or land, which is easier and faster??). And do you think it is easy to move the HUGE catapult across the river or the bridge? Well, if you say the bridge is too narrow... or they should built more bridge to step up the efficiency.. .. I could still take it, but it is still a family film!!! Do not take it too hard and serious!
The reporter also wonder where do the commoners suddenly appear from towards the end of the show? Well, do you think a king's fortress only consist of soldiers, servants and prisoners with no commoners living in or around the fort? My goddness, even though my history on Medievalism is not strong enough.. ... one could have seen countless of ancient show where there are commoners living in or nearby the fort!!!
Many times, I am glad to ignore these reporters' film comments. I am only interested in the storyline which they had covered... hee... .. :)
