Looking tough in the military-inspried TOPMAN.

It’s not true that malls all have the same shops. With CentralWorld in limbo, we were left without access to TOPSHOP/TOPMAN (1-2/F, CentralWorld, Ratchadamri Rd., 02-613-1660). That’s been fixed with the sprawling shopping complex’s Sep 28 reopening, just in time for the UK brand’s Autumn/Winter collections. In TOPMAN’s case, that would be stark, military looks that vaguely echo the circumstances behind the shop’s closure. Talk about making a fashion statement.

Mr. KIA: Scrapbook Supplies

Dear Mr. KIA, I have been dating my girlfriend for almost two years and next week is going to be our official anniversary. I forgot this important date last year and she was pretty mad, so I’d like to make it really special this time. I hear that girls currently have this thing for cutesy scrapbooks. While it’s pretty embarrassing, I reckon she would go absolutely crazy happy if I made her one. Do you know any good places where I can get those scrapbook supplies under one roof? And please, don’t tell anyone I’m asking this. Shy Guy

“Less a movie than a Zac Efron photo album, and why did they give the entire plot away in the trailer?” Jackie K. Cooper, jackiekcooper.com

“Where’s a vampire when you need one?” Tom Long, Detroit News

“It’s like a friend you’re not that fond of sobbing sloppily on your shoulder.” Katey Rich, CinemaBlend.com

“If Zac Efron hadn’t signed on, this sappy spiritual fantasy would certainly have skipped the cineplex altogether—in favor of eternal rotation on cable.” Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

“Steers and his screenwriters aren’t aiming for logic; they’re leading up to the next opportunity for Efron to remove his shirt.” James Berardinelli, ReelViews

“Some bad movies should carry a leper’s bell to warn off ticket buyers. Such a contagion is Charlie St. Cloud, a load of mawkish swill starring Zac Efron.” Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
