Screening of A Christmas Carol(3D) courtesy of Nuffnang!

On Monday, 16th of Nov, I watched da premiere screening of A Christmas Carol, all thanks to Nuffnang, who gave me 2 invites to go for the movie.. After much dilemma bout not going and giving my tickets away, in the end, I invited my "cousin" Karel and he was my "date" for that night.. haha.. We were a bit late la, collected tickets at almost 9, and only had half an hour to eat as the movie started at 9.30pm.. Xin Yi came with us but she went shopping cuz she wanted to buy Xmas present for her Edwin.. =)
Karel Dharmananda Kosasih aka my "cousin", my guest for that night..
He tied up his hair using my rubber band to amuse us all.. =)
  • Ok to cut a long story short, here's the synopsis of the movie.. It's my own take on it la, cuz everything else that I found was so bloody long..
The movie revolves around Ebenezer Scrooge, a bitter and miserly old moneylender.. Scrooge hates everything about Christmas and refuses to even let loose to enjoy in the merriment of the holiday.. On Christmas Eve, he is visited by hos former business partner Jacob Marley, who has died 7 Christmas Eves ago.. Marley warns Scrooge about a horrible afterlife is he does not repent and foretells that Scrooge will be haunted by 3 ghosts who will guide him.. The 3 ghosts are Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present and Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come.. Finally, Scrooge awakens to find himself in bed on Christmas Day and he sets out to atone for his sins, making donations to the poor, attending his nephew's Christmas Dinner and raising Cratchit's salary so he can care for his family better.. In the end, Scrooge becomes a whole different person who embodies the true spirit of christmas itself..

  • Overall I'd say it's quite a good movie.. It has a great meaning to it, and it really reminded me that Christmas is almost here! =) The movie is a bit dark at certain times, but it is nicely balanced out by a few touches of humour here and there.. A great one to watch with family, in my opinion.. I'll probably rate it 7/10 I guess.. It's worth watching, so go on and watch.. haha..
