[Movie Review] The Muppets Premiere

Hi Huneybees,

Did you see my previous blog post about my favourite Muppet? Then, I guess you would have anticipated that I would go and watch The Muppets right?

You can read all about the movie, synopsis and trailer on the link above. I wana share some photos I took at the premiere that day and what I feel about the movie after watching...

I wasn't feeling superbly well that day, vomited the night before, but I still went down for the movie, coz I wanted to support Miss Piggy and her friends. Who can resist all these "Rainbow" cheeriness right?

So, when I arrived at Cineleisure, I was welcomed by this huge media board and the friendly staff handed me super lots of props to take photo with. I opted for just a flower? Hubby was parking the ride, so I had to take the photo on my own, but well, it's a pity if I did not take picture with the media board!

Review:

I love the movie lots! Although in the beginning, it seemed a little childish, Hubby and me were wondering if we made the wrong choice and perhaps I should have brought nephew along instead. But I can tell you in the end, I laughed, I smiled, I even teared up a little while watching the movie.

You get romance, comedy, action all in one movie! This movie kinda reflects on what happens to actors/actresses when their glamour moment is up, what happens to them and sometimes all you need is some motivation to set things right again.

The biggest surprise in the movie would be Jason Segel's and Amy Adams' performance. Who knew they could sing and dance so well?! The movie is very much like 'Glee', where emotions were sang and performed by the Jason, Amy and The Muppets. The songs were all original and a couple of the song got me humming to it for the next couple of days.

Other than the singing and dancing to watch out for, another thing would be the spotting of cameos of popular actors and actresses from the Hollywood scene. Hubby and I did a little naming game on the side, see who can "shout" out their names first. :)

Overall, The Muppets is a movie for all ages. Young kids can get to know who The Muppets are and the rest of the family can reminisce their Muppets Show moments with the familiar songs like 'Rainbow Connection'. And yes, the moments I teared up were actually the times that I remembered myself sitting in front of the TV watching and dancing to the characters. Sigh... Those were the days I was young, carefree and all I did was enjoy.....

The Muppets open in cinemas 8th December 2011, so why not make a date with your family and have some good laugh?

P.S. Why not paint on some Muppets inspired colours before heading to the cinemas? Check out my review on the O.P.I Muppets Holiday 2011 Collection here.

[Tried & Tested] O.P.I The Muppets Holiday 2011 Collection

Hi Huneybees,

OMG OMG OMG! With the new The Muppets movie, O.P.I. also launched their latest holiday collection collaborated with them. I've placed an order for them and finally got them last week! There are 12 nail polishes for the collection, but I'v only gotten 8 of them as I thought the rest were quite similar to what I already have in my nail collection.

It's already said holiday collection, how can glitter and bling be missing right? So half the collection is all glittery (above) and the other half I would say is Miss Piggy inspired. Reds and metallics would very well be complimenting her in her ever changing images.

Let me share what I got  and the swatch of them all...

From Left: Rainbow Connection, Gone Gonzo, Fresh Frog of Bel Air, Gettin' Miss Piggy With It, Divine Swine. 

From Left: Warm & Fozzie, Designer,de Better, Excuse Moi.

Rainbow Connection is exactly what it's name is. Super duper colourful different sized hexagonal glitter (silver, green, yellow, blue, orange and pink) in a clear base. I know alot of you will tell me it's crazy colourful and you won't be able to carry it. Why not try one swipe on top of black nail polish? It's definitely more subtle that way.

Gone Gonzo is less colourful as Rainbow Connection but I would say it's Gonzo with super lots of bling accessories on him. I applied 3 coats to fully cover up my nail and the silver chunks help reflect light. Don't be jealous when your nails start getting more attention than your face.

Fresh Frog of Bel Air is inspired by none other than Kermit the Frog himself. The nail polish is the same as above, except green is the primary colour in this bottle. I would say this is the best choice for St. Patrick's day nail art. :)

Gettin's Miss Piggy With It has red as its primary colour and who else to represent but Miss Piggy herself right? Like Kermit and Piggy, the perfect couple, I would say this bottle would go nicely with Fresh Frog of Bel Air for a X'mas inspired nail art.

Divine Swine is all about purple. Yeah, Swine = Miss Piggy, don't you agree she's all about bright colours? She like the Lady Gaga of The Muppets! Another keeper in the collection ~

Excuse Moi looked like purple to me when I first saw it on the website, but apparently it's a pink pigmented nail polish with multi glitter in it. There's no need for a base colour as 2 swipes would give you beautiful glittering pink nails. This is not as sunlight-reflecting as the glitter nail polishes as above.

The above glitter nail polishes have smooth finish after applying even without a top coat. It's not scratchy or gritty like those other glitter nail polishes you find in the market. They are also very easy to remove. I applied 3 coats of each polish on each nail and after a week, I could easily "peel" them off and all I needed was one cotton pad worth of nail polish remover to remove all of the leftover nail polishes on my nail. Easy breezy ~

Warm & Fozzie may look like your ordinary brown nail polish and being the colourful girl, I don't normally have too much earth colours in my collection. But this one proved me wrong. On closer inspection, you will realize this is a complex shade with shiny foil particles in pink, gold, purple red, green. There's even a hologram feel to it. at times, it looks copper brown, sometimes it looks gold. My nails looked like they underwent some foil nail art.

Designer, de Better is a big surprise for me. I thought it was some champagne colour that I could use when on my lazy days, but when it arrived and upon closer look, there was orange copper foil sparkle particles in it. From far, it's already a eye-catching tone and definitely it will surprise your friends when they get a closer look on your nails.

Ok, since I was swatching the collection, I might as well have one colour on each nail right? And I must say, I caught super lots of attention with this "Rainbow Connection" of nail colours.

The blue nail polish on the thumbs are non O.P.I. I this beautiful shade of blue from Cotton On/Rubi for just S$2.50! Nice right?

Did you get this collection for yourself? Share what you think with me? Or maybe are you considering getting them?

Who's your favourite Muppet?

Hi Huneybees,

Have you heard?

Yes! After the interview at the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean - On Stranger Tides, The Muppets are finally back with their movie debut! They have disappeared for a super long time and now they are back with a movie! Join them on their adventure to save The Muppet Theatre starring Jason Segel (Marshall Eriksen in HIMYM series), Amy Adams (Amelia Earhart in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian) and of course The Muppets!

On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, his brother Gary (Jason Segel) and Gary’s girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets’ former stomping grounds. To stage a telethon and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate. With secret, signature, celebrity cameos, Disney’s “The Muppets” hits the big screen Dec. 8, 2011

And amongst all of The Muppets, one character stood out and I find her very close to my heart. She represents the plus size ladies, who are confident in themselves, never fail to express themselves and still get a boyfriend who loves her dearly. She is none other than MISS PIGGY herself!

She was the Lady Gaga, Beyonce of The Muppets crew. Ever so dramatic, but always getting what she wants done. She always have her super fancy wardrobe and hairstyle to match. Have you heard? She even had a M.A.C. collection in her name! My idol!

Below, let me share some photos of her with you. I even did a little impersonation of her just for fun! LOL!

Look like Miss Piggy? LOL!

Here's a little video on the movie's premiere in USA. Wonder will it be like that in Singapore too? I hope to be able to take a pic with Miss Piggy herself... :)

Shall end the post with a favourite song by Kermit the frog and Kylie Minogue. Till today, I still have this song in my iPod. LOL! Will Kylie bee one of the celebrity cameo? Hmmm....
