First Love (A Little Thing Called Love)

"Based on the true story of everyone"

First Love (A Little Thing Called Love)
(Thai: สิ่งเล็กเล็ก ที่เรียกว่า..รัก) (Sing leklek Tee reak wa... Rak), also known as Crazy Little Thing Called Love (in other Asian countries), is a 2010 Thai romantic-comedy drama film and also a 2011 Asian sleeper hit film starring Mario Maurer and Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul.



The story is centered on a plain-looking, dark-skinned school girl named P'Nam (Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul) who is secretly in love with an older Grade 10 guy named P'Shone (Mario Maurer). Shone is a photography enthusiast and a popular student in their school. However, he is often teased by some of his schoolmates because his father didn't score the penalty kick and made their province lose in a national football cup. But that doesn't change the fact that a lot of girls in their school are going crazy over him, including Nam. However, Nam is well aware that she is not the prettiest of the bunch, but she doesn't give up easily. With help from her close girl friends, Nam tries everything to make herself more beautiful and outstanding in school, hoping that Shone would like her someday.

My Review...

Well, as the tag line where it says "Based in the true story of everyone" ... almost every body goes through this kind of love story... I did say all of us but most of us have experienced this kind of love story one way or another way back in our high school days... Back to the movie it is kinda cute... it brings back my good old days when I met my first love but that was history... hehehe... One thing I have noticed the friends of Nam (Pimchanok Lerwisetpibol) almost did not change in looks they still look like way back in high school... However all in all I can say that the movie First Love (A Little Thing Called Love) is one of the best love story I have ever watch so far... kinda ideal just like a fairy tail story where it all ends up in a happy ever after but I guess that is all of us is dreaming of (Whatever)... And Guess what there are rumors that there would be a sequel, lets just wait and see...

Here are some screen shots...

Letters to Juliet (2010)

The Movie Letters to Juliet is a 2010 American romantic comedy drama film starring Amanda Seyfried, Chris Egan, Vanessa Redgrave, Gael García Bernal, and Franco Nero. The film was released theatrically in North America and other countries on May 14, 2010. The idea for the film was inspired by the 2006 non-fiction book, "Letters to Juliet," by Lise Friedman and Ceil Friedman, which chronicles the phenomenon of letter writing to Shakespeare's most famous romantic heroine.

The story line is about Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) a young American woman who works for The New Yorker as a fact checker. To put some spark in her life, she decides to go on a 'pre-honeymoon' with her chef fiancé Victor (Gael Garcia Bernal) to Verona. However the workaholic Victor is unmoved by the romance of Italy and utilises his time to rather do research for his soon-to-open restaurant, ignoring Sophie. The lonely Sophie discovers by chance an unanswered "letter to Juliet" by Claire in the 1950's -- one of thousands of missives left at the fictional lover's Verona courtyard, which are typically answered by the "secretaries of Juliet". She answers it and soon enough the now elderly Claire (Vanessa Redgrave) arrives in Verona with her handsome barrister grandson Charlie (Christopher Egan), who works for human rights. Charlie and Sophie take an instant liking to each other with Charlie behaving very brusquely with Sophie while she is very sarcastic with him. On the other hand, Claire is still looking to rediscover her long lost love, Lorenzo Bartolini. Sophie, thinking Claire's story might help her with her writing career, decides to help Claire in her quest. What happens next is a story of romantic twists and turns. They find out that there are multiple Lorenzo Bartolinis and must figure out which one is Claire's love. After many days of searching for the right one, they find that one of the Lorenzo Bartolinis is dead. An angry Charlie blames Sophie for his grandmother's sadness. He accuses her of not knowing what real loss is, which causes an upset Sophie to walk away. Claire, seeing the little dispute, tells Charlie that he was wrong and that Sophie's mother had walked away from her when she was a little girl. The next day, Claire insists that Charlie apologize to Sophie at breakfast, and he does. After dinner, Sophie goes out with Charlie and talks to him about love, when he accidentally kisses her. The next morning, is their last day of searching for Claire's long lost love. On a whim, Claire points out a vineyard to Charlie and asks if he could stop by so the three of them can have a farewell drink for Sophie. As Charlie drives down the road, Claire sees a young man who looks exactly like her Lorenzo. She yells at Charlie to stop, and he complies. They discover that the man is Lorenzo Bartolini's grandson. Claire and Lorenzo reunite after fifty long years.



Back in New York, Sophie breaks up with Victor. Sophie returns to Verona to attend Claire and Lorenzo's wedding. She finds Charlie there with another woman, Patricia, and runs out. Charlie comes to find her (in a classic balcony setting) and she admits she loves him, but tells him to go back to his date. Telling Sophie that the woman was actually his cousin Patricia, not his ex-girlfriend Patricia, he tells her he loves her and wants to be with her. He accidentally falls off the balcony and they kiss as he is lying on the ground.

The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars

The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars

(Bruno Mars with Poreotics)

The song seems like the perfect tune to play while hanging out this summer. The track talks about being lazy, almost proactively lazy if that even makes sense. Lazy here does not mean moving slow because you don’t want to work. It’s more about not doing anything at all. With a reggae beat behind the lyrics, The Lazy Song is almost begging to be the song of a master procrastinator.

The Music Video is a one shot featuring Bruno Mars monkeying around with what must be perfect company for lazing around, monkey men! Those monkey men are members of Poreotics, an all Asian-American dance group that specializes in popping, choreography, and robotic movements. They were also hailed as the Team of the Year at the World of Dance awards just this January.


The Lazy Song lyrics

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

I'm gonna kick my feet up then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gon' tell me I can't

I'll be lounging on the couch just chilling in my Snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking man

Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all, nothing at all

Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P90X
Find a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream out
[- From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/bruno-mars-lyrics/the-lazy-song-lyrics.html -]
This is great
(Oh my god, this is great)

Yeah, I might mess around
And get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry pops, you'll just have to wait

Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

No, I ain't gonna comb my hair
'Cause I ain't going anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
