I am posting again on the same day...hehehe. It's boring staying at home sick, so blogging is a good option. And I have had more than enough sleep to rest my eyes now (for the moment).

Let's talk about the movie I recently watched with Yiang at 1 Utama. :D

It is called Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporioum!!! (Warning, this entry contains spoilers)


Okay, if you have watched it or yet to, you would probaly find it to be an okay or average movie. And yes to a certain degree I admit that it is. But I am somehow highly attracted to it (after watching it) because of personal reasons.

Synopsis:
Molly Mahoney (Portman) is the awkward and insecure manager of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, the strangest, most fantastic, most wonderful toy store in the world. But when Mr. Magorium, the 243 year-old eccentric who owns the store (Hoffman), bequeaths the store to her, a dark and ominous change begins to take over the once remarkable Emporium. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457419/)

Reason why I like and enjoy it SO MUCH....
- It was magical, filled with fantasy and colourful surroundings.
I totally love toy shops and real unique ones too. And this one has its beauty in so many charming ways. It was one of a kind features and totally speaks to me. While watching the movie, I couldnt help wishing I was Molly Mahoney. I didnt mind being a "normal" store manager of a small and pretty magical toy shop, I think it would be totally enchanting and special. You should see the beginning of the movie whereby the "started" the emporium up, it was amazing. Must be great working there. I don't mind working part-time in such a shop or even fulltime! (Not really in the movie but for real if such unique shop is found - I dont mean the magic but in real life)

- It was unique and charming to my soul (makes sense?) :P
Have you ever watched "You've Got mail?" Starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks? It is one of my favourite movies. It is just again a simple movie, but it speaks to the heart and bears much of life's answer there. I love that the the female protagonist (Meg Ryan) owned a small and unique little book shop around the corner. That's the point, a nice small book shop, did I mention it was a children's book shop? Even better! If you noticed, both of the movies, evolves around children - catering to their needs and desires. It must be really lovely. To have the smiles and laughter of innocent and happy kids in your store. Not to mention all the brightness of colours and joy surrounding you in your everyday work. But I am not talking bout something superficial or biasa like Toys R Us or MPH, but your own theme designed shop with your own signature features. Like a boutique, one of a kind. Okay, am I blabbering too much? LOL.


Here is a view of what the shop or emprium looks like. Wonderful right? And I wanna be her, Molly Mahoney (right) wearing a cute apron and running such a delighting shop. :D

For me, the movie was SWEET!It is magical, fantastic, mysterious and totally enchanting. I like it, I like fantasy movies. :D It's just me! :D
Like taking a journey beyond life.... breaking free of the norm and just being yourself.

I find "peace" and a big grin on my face when I watch such movies, kinda just lifts me up. Other fantasy movies too... such as:
*Lord of the Rings
*Chronicles of Narnia
*Stardust
*PeterPan
*Bridge to Therabithia (correct?)
and many more... (cant think much now)

Of course I know magic is not real and none of it will come true, but no harm in dreaming a little? Hehehe... I guess I am just a sucker for fairy tales. :)

So yeah, I like the movie. It may not be your type, but it is definitely my type (like StarDust!).

This is Eric, he is cute :P "Cool" right the toys? :P

Maybe, just maybe someday I get to own my cute little shop around the corner, be it selling toys or children books or even cute colourful handy crafts (since I love them). Or maybe a children art centre! I'll have it painted in rainbow colours with plushies everywhere along with cute ornaments adorning every corner! Something personal and just speaks out: this is me! With a unique theme of my own where smiles blossom and memories are enchanted. (Hey, this could be my shop's tagline!Copyright k!!!)

Here are some interesting quites from Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium:

Mr. Edward Magorium: Your life is an occasion, rise to it. (I like this one!)

Molly Mahoney: Are you dying?
Mr. Edward Magorium: Light bulbs die, my dear. I am departing.

Henry Weston: When you say magical, do you mean special?
Molly Mahoney: Magical.
Henry Weston: What about... really really cool?
Molly Mahoney: MAGICAL!


This is the "mutant"... lol. You gotts watch the movie to know why.... aint all the toys just so "pretty" and lovely? I want my "future" store to be like that! :P

There are many more quotes, but IMBD is not fully updated yet (since the movie is new). If you are ever going to watch it, I hope you'll like it. One thing for sure, it spoke to my heart and made me realise something else "magical" I want in my life.

If you are going to watch the movie, I hope you'll have a "magical" and sweet experience (that is if you have a dreamy head like me :P lol). Till next time, I bid you au revoir and God bless!

Huggies and smoochies, tata! :D
