Culture Trip

My BIL has confirmed our ticket booking for Saturday's play entitled "Suurenmoista" (it means "splendid" or "magnificent"). It's a comedy written by Peter Quilter (the English title is "Glorious!". This play tells the story of Florence Foster Jenkins, an American "soprano" who can't really sing, yet she truly believes that she's a great singer. Interestingly enough, many people come to watch her sing since it's very funny to watch the "great diva" sings.

If you click on the link, at the bottom of the page you can listen to a short audio clip of her singing. I was surprised when I listened to it. It's VERY clear that she can't sing well he he he he...



This will be my first time watching a play in a theatre. I think the play's going to be interesting, but what will be my challenge is to understand it as it's in FINNISH!!! But I'm looking forward to seeing it! ;-D

The first time I was in a theatre was in Helsinki in 2000 when I saw a ballet show with my Helsinki friend. It was okay, though unfortunately I didn't understand the story he he hehhh...



Any special plans this weekend, friends? ;-D Btw, THANKS SO MUCH for all your support and kind words about my previous post. :-))))

Movie Reviews: Rush Hour 3 + Resident Evil 3

Two nights ago we watched those two movies in a row he he he he...

1. Rush Hour 3

The usual Jackie Chan fun style movie. Too bad I think the movie's too short. It didn't even last for 1.5 hours!!! But we laughed a lot and we always loved watching the "failed scenes" at the end of the movie he he he he he...Plus the action is always enjoyable! ;-D

Hubby's a HUGE fan of Jackie Chan as he LOVES comedies he he he he he...Who's also Jackie Chan's fan? Come and raise your hands, please?

2. Resident Evil 3

This one is also not disappointing, but I suspect there will be another sequel. As usual, there're lots of bloody-gory scenes in this movie ha ha ha ha ha...There are LOTS of clones of Alice in the movie!!!

Gee...I wouldn't want anyone to clone me, would you? That's a scary thought! After all, there's enough me in the world, I think HA HA HA HA HA...The world doesn't need more me. Ahem. ;-D Plus if there were more than one me, then I wouldn't be special anymore!!!

Overall, I'd recommend both movies to those of you who love those kinds of movies. ;-D You know what's funny? They're both rated 6.3/10 in IMDB site.

Okie dokie, now I need to study Finnish againnnnnnn!!! YIIIHHHAAAA!!! ;-D
