i heart Fast & Furious

So there have been other sequels to the original The Fast & The Furious released in 2001, and you might even say that Fast & Furious can technically be called "The Fast & The Furious 4." But other fans of the original consider this upcoming movie a far better sequel to the other two (2 Fast 2 Furious, and The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Dift). To be honest, i always liked the first movie compared to the others. and when i heard Vin Diesel signed up for the 4th movie, and that everyone else from the first movie signed on as well, i became very excited to hear about it. It's really rare for original actors from a first movie to jump onto the band wagon of movie sequels, let alone to come back about eight years later. it just goes to show that these actors are just not for the money or franchise name, but also interested in making their fans happy.

The new Fast & Furious movie gave us a little teaser trailer back in september (pretty much a possible set-up of what the movie may possibly be centered on) and here is the clip:


Here's the newly release 2nd trailer of the same movie (this one has more movie clips)(*enjoy):

**on a side note, i'm also really excited for the storyline between Paul Walker's character Brian and Jordana Brewster's Mia. They have great chemistry on film!

i heart Slumdog Millionaire

After its many premieres in different film festivals, I could not help but hear so much about the film. And after a great night at the Golden Globes (the film won 4 awards for Best Film, Best Director, Best Script, and Best Score), i finally got a chance to watch it and might i say, it was a great film. It was totally unexpected for myself to even enjoy such a film, but surely i'm glad to be quite surprised. Though the film sets its background on an indian version of "Who wants to be a millionaire," Jamal's story telling of his life's trivial moments showed very much importance in searching for Latika. Through the "slums" of india and Jamal's journey throughout the film, it gave us a love story. And this film is worth your time.

Here's the plot from Fox Searchlights Pictures):

The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.

I heart Scrubs

If I were to describe what kind of show Scrubs is, i would say it is very much like 30 Rock, but has its share of somewhat drama-like themes. Zach Braff and Donald Faison are great at what they do. The comedic randomness is genius!

Here are some of my favorite clips (*enjoy):

I heart 30 Rock/Best speeches of the night @ Golden Globes

I just love the fact that Tina Fey and her show 30 Rock won! Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan are just hilarious!

i heart "Lucky."

Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat sang a song together called "Lucky," and it's pretty amazing. It's the second single off "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things" - available now. Colbie is gorgeous in her white dress, and Jason looks pretty good in a suit. I heart both of them separately and together! let's hope for more collaborations between the two =).

Here's the new video (*enjoy):
