Review: The Time Traveler’s Wife (2009)

This film actually reminds me of Lake House for the impossibility of the premises presented in the film, but I am somehow delighted by Rachel McAdams’ effortless acting, which is still as powerful as we’ve seen it in The Notebook. The depth of her love for her time traveler’s husband (Eric Bana) is so surreal that it’s almost heartbreaking.

The movie, adapted from the book with the same title by Audrey Niffenegger, experimented with human relationships and how revisiting the past could actually make you happy, heal some wounds, and go on with the future.

The impossibility of it is what makes it special. After watching the film, you’d be asking a lot of questions and easily judging it to be a little overbearing and ridiculous, but it is actually a feel-good film that you can enjoy watching with your loved ones.

The Oscar’s Fashion 2010 Edition

The BESTest!

Actress Rachel McAdams is definitely tonight’s big winner on the red carpet wearing Elie Saab creation.

Check this out! JLo never ceased to rock it on the red carpet! she’s wearing an Armani Prive gown.

this is what you call elegance, the 16th time Oscar nominated Meryl Streep wowed everyone with this regal creation of Project Runway alums Chris March.

Kristen Stewart is a first time Oscar attendee rocking a Monique Lhuillier gothic creation!

Kate Winslet can do no wrong with Yves Saint Laurent‘s creation.

FAILED!!!

I cannot for the life of me understand what the rose accent Charlize Theron was wearing on her lumps with her Christian Dior gown.

I love Vera Farmiga in Up In The Air but this Marchesa‘s creation is so over the top and way too busy that you cannot find the best supporting actress nominee.

This Givenchy creation is not just right for Zoe Saldana –there’s something off with it.

First time Best Actress nominee Carey Mulligan didn’t take Vogue’s editor Anna Wintour‘s advise and this was the dreadful results.  I’m lovin’ the Prada dress but what’s with the shoes???

I seriously don’t get the whole look of Amanda Seyfried tonight –it’s all too old fashion. It’s probably because JLo already got the better Armani Prive dress.
