I am officially done with Eat Pray Love. Please tell me i am not wrong about the fact that Julia Roberts is playing Elizabeth Gilbert in the movie adaptation of this book! I was checking out the reviews for this book and many could not get themselves to sit through the entire read. Lorraine tried reading it two or three times but it never quite sustained her interest long enough for her to finish it. Only a handful told me they thought the book was good. Other online reviews read that it was a boring book and it being rather dry. To be honest, initially i found myself forcing my way past pages, however by the time i was mid-way her first journey to Italy..i was hooked. I guess it's also about the whole self-discovery prospect and the emotional mambo jumbo that i somewhat related to.

I am now on to my next book. Marley & Me which many have read and i have heard nothing but good reviews about. Also I intend to finish it within the next two days. (I would finish it sooner if it weren't for poker tonight, which i am looking forward to) The movie is out in Singapore on the 8th of Jan which is not too far off. Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson play Jennifer and John Grogan. I think they'd do the actual Mr and Mrs Grogan justice. I can't wait to catch it in cinemas!

Last night I went over to V's with the sole intention of watching That 70's Show only because he has it from season one right up to date in DVDs. HOWEVER, we switched on the television to channel 5 and this particular movie which I THOUGHT was just a 1 hour series started. Mail Order Wife (which aired in 2004) - thats the title. Curious, cause i had never heard of such a series (only because it wasn't actually a series but a movie!), i watched on now thinking it was a documentary..because that is how the movie is made. In a documentary kinda setting. The first one hour later I realized it was not a series, not a documentary but a movie!! It had gotten kinda intersting by then so i continued watching and it is a movie to watch la! It's a comedy.. i thought i shouldn't be laughing but after checking imdb out i found out i was permitted to laugh cause it IS a comedy! It's about how...

a documentarian funds a NYC doorman's Asian mail order bride in exchange for the right to film the experience. But when Lichi arrives in America, she finds herself married to a recluse with a penchant for sadistic sexual role-playing. Objectivity flies out the window when she and the filmmaker become involved. Twists and turns are plentiful in this tragi-comic love triangle where all is not what it seems.

Watch it if you can find it at a DVD/VCD rental shop. :)

aiite, i'm off to read myself away till poker! later.
