Disney, Pixar and Costco worked together to have the first movie-branded wine, 2004 Ratatouille Bourgogne Chardonnay.Due to complaints on the standards in labeling which restrict usage of cartoon characters to avoid under-age drinkers. These bottles will no longer be available in the public. But the producer had bottled 500 cases of the wine with label (shown on the left), will they become a collectible??
We caught the Ratatouille sneak today, it is finally in Singapore cinema now. have been waiting for months... Actual release date is 30 August.
Ratatouille is another creatively produced animation by Pixar where the normally unpleasant creature of a rat can be portrayed so lovable and inspiring.Remy the main lead rat of the movie have the uncanny ability of the sense of smell which makes it ever enthu to seek a life that is very unexpected of a rat - to make things and for this matter to be a CHEF...
The relationship between Remyand the boy chef, Linguiniis quite intriguing especially where the scenes they were learning to accomodate to each other so as to cook as one was really quite hilarious. Remy's father and his brother, Emile are also integral characters of the movie. When his dad finally was convinced with his son's aspiration, he actually mobilise the whole rat clan to assist Remy in the cooking. Imagine the whole restaurant kitchen filled with rats preparing the food which is so extraordinary....
Ratatouille is really a highly entertaining movie that will not disappoint and definitely worth the hype and money... If any of your friends or gf like cute stuffs, bring them now to the cinema to watch Rataouille... They will definitely LOVE it!!!!
The Chinese Hungry Ghost Festival is certainly a showcase of Singapore's heritage that's loud and proud.
This explains why director Roystan Tan's latest film, "881" is based entirely on the festival's Getai performers whose job is to take to the stage to entertain the spirits of the dead. It is a story about two girls with one dream - becoming superstar Getai performers at the Hungry Ghost Festival.
"881" revolves around the lives of these flamboyant performers, which the Chinese festival has become synonymous with.
Roystan Tan says: "I actually followed the Queen of Getai, she's known to run like 177 stage shows in a month. So I sat in her car one evening, and see how she actually rushes from one show to another show. I filmed the whole thing down, her dialogue, how she panics and everything, how she runs. So the Papaya Sisters actually follow the way she reacts in the film."
The stars of this film actually go by the name of "Papaya Sisters". Yeo Yann Yann and Mindy Ong are the "Papaya Sisters". Getai performances have always been a hit among the older generation, but this film may just create a whole new fan base.
Mindy says: "I love Hokkien songs, I'm a Hokkien, I speak Hokkien to my family members at home, but honestly speaking that was one point of time when I was much younger. I do feel a bit shy about telling friends that I go and watch Getai. They might think it's kind of like old school. But now come to think about it, it's what makes Singapore special. Getai - I'm so proud of it." And here is something else everyone behind the film can be proud of.
Lucas Chow, CEO, MediaCorp, says: "This is the only local musical film and it's in Hokkien. And I hope that through this movie, we can introduce the local culture to overseas audiences as well."
Daniel Yun, Managing Director, MediaCorp Raintree Pictures, says: "For a local film, I think the reviews are quite unprecedented. The reviews have been good to excellent." This film is called "881" because in Chinese "881" is pronounced as pa-pa-yao, quite close to papaya hence the connection.
Immediately after the movie had ended, my mind was like quite in a whirlwind, trying to piece together the various cluster of the flashback at the end of the movie plot of how the so called perfect framing of Harrison Hill (Bruce Willis) was done by Rowena (Halle Berry). Very poetic planning from Rowena right from the beginning although the director will surely not show too much lest reducing the impact of the movie twist right at the end. Instead, the director adopted to slowly reveal the true background of Rowena in parts of the movie throughout and then the real truth about Rowena's role in the murder at the end that will leave audiences amazed and have their mouths wide open. Quite frankly, Miles (Giovanni Ribisi) played a more telling and interesting role that i personally feel makes Bruce Willis pale in importance although both men eventually succumb to the craftiness of Rowena.
Starring Shia LaBeouf as Kale, a depressed teen after the accidental death of his father. He is under house arrest and feels that his neighbour, Robert Turner (acted by David Morse) is a serial killer so he started spying on his daily activties.
Shia LaBeouf also acted in the movie Transformers 2007 as Sam (the main actor) who owns the Bumblebee car and helped Autobots in search for Allspark.
