Anyone here has watched New York, I Love You ? Watching it was a wonderful surprise, I thought it was excellent and very, very entertaining. Directed and written by some of the most respected directors ( if not entirely known to me ) from all over the world, it was made up of 10 short stories. I kept waiting to find out how the stories intertwined with each other, thinking that it was another Love Actually ( another huge favourite ) but except in a very loose way, the stories pretty much stand on their own.

I watched it without knowing much about it and the star-studded cast was a lovely surprise and we had fun ( I watched it with my SIL ) trying to recognize the actors in it. Our conversation pretty much went like this omg that's so and so!! followed by much squeeing and pinching of each other lol. My favourite was the one written and directed by Natalie Portman ( another surprise, that ).

And now I really want to watch its sister movie Paris Je T'aime!

Adjusment Bureau was a huge disappointment though. I was so looking forward to watching Matt Damon and Emily Blunt in it but I didn't quite like it. Maybe if it was just the usual cloak-and-dagger, action movie thriller stuff, I'd have enjoyed it but ... the storyline just wasn't my thing. And the fedoras omg why???

"Fedoras are cool."

Lots and lots ( and lots ) of fedoras and they are, indeed, cool. But not when they were worn by, I don't quite know what to call them, angels? Why would angels need to wear fedoras anyway? *facepalm*

I know, right? Did you squee out loud seeing all those faces - Bradley, Hayden, Maggie Q (!!), Anton etc etc? And it must have been extra sweet for you, seeing all those familiar places that you've just been to in NY!!

I've seen Paris Je T'Aime but not New York I Love You. Elijah is in Paris Je T'Aime, of course. :D I enjoyed it overall. Guess I'll have to give New York I Love You a try!

I actually thought it was Paris Je T'Aime before I realized this one was NY and not Paris. Orlondo Bloom was in it, didn't know he would be in it ( I thought he was in Paris ) so that was another delicious surprise!
