Lemony Snicket!

A Series Of Unfortunate Events

Watched Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events! Me enjoyed it soo much. As enjoyable as the book itself, but of course, book adaptation is never a 100% kind of thingy.

Emily Browning playing 14-year old Violet is fabulous. Methink she got the most luscious, full, kissable lips! And how they quiver and pout at the right moments. And I am getting carried away with her lips. But I guess no decent movie review should actually focus on just the lips of the actress. Then there is the subtitled translations of Sunny's baby-speak (Sunny is the infant of the three Baudelaires, the other one is Klaus (Liam Aiken) the family bookworm). Those comments offer some of the biggest laughs.


The story is about the Baudelaires orphans' adventure (sort of) after their parents' untimely demise in a suspicious fire. The plot revolve around the simple premises of an evil relative (Count Olaf, played to the extreme by the ever elastic Jim Carrey's pursuit to get his hand on the Baudelaire's fortune from the orphan (by getting the right to be their guardian)

The setting gives you the Roald Dahl's feeling; dark and warped kind of children story where bad things happen and people really die and never return from the dead. With the occasional cliffhanger and mystery, it kept me gripped to the edge of my seat in suspense (while enjoying the immense beauty of Emily Browning's lips).

I always thought that the Lemony Snicket's books are much better (and popular) than Harry Potter. The movie covered the first three books, hence the episodic-like paces, and we can expect more sequels, as writer Daniel Handler has written altogether eleven series, with more to come.

Already bought the fourth book (The Miserable Mill) and am devouring it as I am typing this. Woohooo~

note to self : stop thinking about Emily Browning's lips. Now.
