Whoa, what busy days I had recently that I did not have the time to blog. Not only that, I even had to forego my free movie tickets. How can???

On the other hand, a couple of days ago, I was introduced to a wonderful, funny and heart-warming movie called “Penelope” which will be released on 29th February, 2008. This is a special day with a special movie to mark it.

Penelope, which stars Christina Ricci as Penelope, is about a girl who was born into a rich family, but is cursed with a “pig’s nose”. All is not lost, however, because this curse could be broken when Penelope finds that one true love. Do you think that it would be easy? Sure, she has a sizeable dowry but money cannot stop the young men from being repulsed by her nose.

So what does Penelope do? Will she continue to stay locked at home hiding from the world because of her nose? If you watch this trailer, you would have a pretty good idea that Penelope found her true self and not her physical self.

But do you think that Penelope will manage to break the family curse and be the beautiful girl that she is? Watch Penelope on 29th February, 2008 to find out.

It is interesting to note that in this movie, Penelope found a best friend, her only friend, in fact, in Reese Witherspoon. And this movie is produced by Reese Witherspoon’s production house, Type A Films. That’s a little movie trivia for you!

My friend recently watched Kung Fu Dunk and she said that one of the lines was very funny and she could imagine what a scene it would be if Gillian Chung was in that role.

That got me thinking, what would people’s reaction be when they watch movies by any of these three actresses, Gillian, Bobo Chan & Cecilia Cheung, involved in the recent sex scandal of the Hong Kong entertainment scene that rocked the Chinese community the world over?

I read on Batgwa.com [FYI, Batgwa means "busybody"] that there are more than 10,000 people per minute in Hong Kong alone, downloading and sharing these leaked sex photos over the internet. So you can imagine the number of people who have already seen these photos and having wild fantasies about “strange, strange stuff.”

In Asian society, I believe that Edison Chen will not get as harsh a backlash as these three actresses, because, he’s “a guy”. If there are still producers who would take on these ladies for new movies, how will movie-goers look at them?

Can their careers survive?

Update: 10th Feb, 2008:
With new sex photos of Edison Chen released this morning of Edison Chen with Gillian Chung, Cecilia Cheung, Bobo Chan, possibly his current girlfriend, Vincy Yeung and a few other women who are yet unidentified, I now think that not only are the careers of these actresses over, Edison Chen’s career as an entertainer in Hong Kong and China is totally bombed too. However, he can move to the Netherlands and be a porn star.
