原本一个感人的真实故事，感觉上很戏剧般的不真实。
《黄石任务》说的是记者帮助孤苦伶仃孩子的桥段，让有点持怀疑态度的我看成又一部伟大洋人拯救可怜华人的影片。
以看影片的观点欣赏，大起大落的戏剧元素和爱情故事是存在的，被剥削的是细腻的人性刻画和乔治的伟大。
很讽刺，很可惜的是，看完片后所记得的不是《黄石任务》的精神或南京大屠杀的悲惨，而是众演员的口音。 Jonathan Rhys Meyers和Radha Mitchell以中英文交错台词演出，牵强得好笑。发哥自从演南洋海盗后，英语进步神速，咬字故意清晰。
《卧虎藏龙》老搭档杨紫琼又演江湖女子，沦为陪衬的大配角，和影片感觉一样，可有可无。
Escape from Huang Shi - The essence is in the accent
这部爱情喜剧片很不一样。 同样的是一个男人和女人从误会，到相识，最终相恋。
不同是手法不一样了，不到最后一分钟，你还不知道谁到底会接受男主角求婚。知道了也不重要。 典型的浪漫片是一男一女的情况，而这一男四女（加上了女儿），更反映了现实生活不是童话故事。每一段故事虽感觉平淡如水，真实也应该是如此。
Ryan Reynolds不是好莱坞首选的帅哥，但忠厚老实型和腼腆的笑容必定融化女孩子的芳心。小太阳Abigail Breslin 更是为影片注入了天真的笑意，前途无量。
感觉上，这一部让爱情喜剧片的素质提升了。你不会有所谓的大哭大笑，但会有一点甜蜜的感觉，和些许的感动。能推荐给拍拖的男男女女好好看，好好思考。
我微笑了，爱情的确如此悬疑而完美。
Definitely, Maybe - May be a little draggy, but definitely touching for me
Simply said, this is Indonesia’s answer to KFC. While Ayam Penyet (Flattened Fried Chicken) hasn’t exactly taken Singapore by stomp, it has increasingly gained popularity over the last two years.The word "Waroeng" means a traditional hut in Indonesia that serve reasonably priced food, while "Penyet" means flattened.
You may find this little shop located at Marina Parade Central rather similar to Ayam Penyet Ria at Lucky Plaza. They were previous co-owners, but different directions and targeted markets made the young boss Edy Ongkowijaya venture on his own. While the Lucky Plaza eatery mainly appeals to families, Waroeng Penyet is obviously attracting the younger crowd with its red/green interiors, cutesy chicken logo, colourful menus and young staff.
The Ayam Penyet (S$5.50 with rice not included) served in baskets, has a generous portion of chicken fried in crunchy batter with fried tempe and tofu on the side. The flattening makes the chicken more manageable to eat, and surprisingly dry. The loosen meat from the bones actually makes it a non-oily affair as it becomes possible to eat chicken without using hands.
The highlight is the sambal chili which is available in hot and mild versions. The faint-hearted may just find it too much to handle, while the chilli lover in me has an upsurge of adrenalin after the blast of spice.
They also serve other forms of ‘penyet’ such as Empat (beef), Bawal (pomfret), Udang (fried prawn), Lele (catfish) and Baskso Goreng (fried beef balls) with prices being very affordable at $4.50 to $6.00.
The other yummies served include Ayam Panggang (grilled chicken), Sate Ayam (Chicken Satay), Soto Ayam (Javanese chicken soto) and Gulai Ayam (Infonesian chicken curry).
My personal favourite is the Sate Ayam which has a different texture and peanut paste from the regular satays we are used to. The difference is that the grilled meat sprinkled with fried shallots more succulent and tender, and the sauce smoother and less spiced.
End off your meal with Iced Cendol ($2.50) or Avocado Juice ($3.00), a green, sweet and thick creamy drink which has high nutritional worth due to its rich vitamin 86 and carotene.
The owner Edy has just reached 30, but has 4 shops under his belt since he opened this first branch in 2007. He is full of smiles, life and potential, just like Waroeng Penyet which looks set to expand beyond.
