I dont know if anyone was aware of the canadian film Lie With Me being shown here?
Well ive been wanting to watch that since a few weeks back but never got to it until it's run has ended but luckily the best friend called me up with a tip off that its showing again at shaw balestier!!

It's a beautiful love story although i can bet with you that the other 5 or 6 men watching the film were in for the eroctic scenes. Undeniably those scenes arouse certain senses in you, it made me thought how is this not porno but yet the love story behind all the sex was very poignant. Initially i cringed in discomfort while watching them engaging in sexual scenes and since i was watching it alone for the first 40mins and being the only lady in the theatre, i certainly do not want to be perceived like the other cheekopeks, but i warmed up to the plot after awhile, and as soon as the best friend joined me i was hooked on how the story starts to unfold.

It all makes sense you know, everyone discover love in a million ways. And in this film the character Leila falls for David through sex. As crazy as this may sound i do not think its dirty at all. At first Leila lusted for David, they just love screwing each other up often but ultimately what they discovered during this sex sessions had turned into a bonded relationship between the two, intimacy led to other things. Endearing moments became special. And in the end what had been simply 'sex' had turned into 'making love' if you get my gist. It was very real, filled with anguish how both became repulse and not know to deal with the real meaning of their deep attachment for each other.

Besides the very intriguing storyline, i like the cinematography of the movie, warm tones when its depicting happiness and loveliness, blue tone when the mood became needy and solemn, green tone when things get frustating. But what impress me most of all was how those sexual scenes were shot, it can be cliche because if the camera works was not superb the film might end up being a porno flick.

And if we take all the steamy scenes out, everyone or should i say ladies could relate what Leila is facing with the turmoils of her life. I certainly did. Oh even the music in the film was great! Overall i believed the film had been tastefully done.

The dvd of the film has been released actually but i'm not sure if its selling in Singapore, and if you cant find it here you can always try your luck across the causeway you know ;)

To Dee

Yes i have watch the X Men as well! i find the last stand rather emotional this time, but it was good nonetheless, i was there for the special effects which of course does not disappoint me at all! Anyways hehe yeah i waited for the 3-4 mins of the long credits to roll just to watch that fleeting 15-20secs of hidden clip. It had let out several gasped and giggles of disbelief from people who stayed to watch but then again you've not missed much babe :)
