falling after you
is it time to write a year review entry? maybe not yet. i'm gonna need a long long time for that entry. its been a long year and so much has happened, yet it seems that i havent done much. i havent travelled as much as i should or want to, i havent found any new interests etc etc etc
but other than that, things seem to be going alright for me. watched national treasure just now and its just an okay movie. nothing spectacular about it. i would recommend watching it only under the following conditions:
- you've watched every other movie thats showing
- its CHEAP MOVIE NIGHT
- its raining outside and you cant figure out what to do
- you're somewhat broke and you cant figure out what to do in town
- you just wanna watch a movie
so under those conditions, go ahead and watch it. other than that, not much.
hey, lets talk movies today.
SAW 3 - i know its a little late to watch saw 3 since saw 4 was released this year. well, i jumped on the saw wagon a little late, pardon me. but the first movie got me very interested despite the blood and gore and "self-censorship&quo t; (hiding behind a cushion and going "is it over yet?"). the psychology of it intrigued me. saw 2 was terrible. it felt like a bad reality show. saw 3 redeemed the saw series. and thats a quote from iain. but i fear the producers and what not are dragging on this saw thing longer than they should. i hear there are talks to make saw 6. JIGSAW'S DEAD by saw 3. how much more can you milk this for money??
I AM LEGEND - very very good performance from will smith. i didnt watch ALI so i dont know his acting capability. needless to say, i am very impressed with his performance in i am legend. not too bad of a movie. very interesting concept too. but if you scare easily like i do, you might end up sleeping with the lights on for a while after that. or would appreciate some company while sleeping...a pet would do :P
ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS - if you liked the cartoon series growing up, you might enjoy this. it was a good laugh. had a light hearted feel to it. nothing too heavy. and theodore is incredibly adorable. highly entertaining and by the time you walk out of the cinema, you just cant help but have a soft spot for those chipmunks.
ENCHANTED - whether you like McDreamy or not, this was a great movie. it parodies the typical format of disney fairytales and is extremely funny. McDreamy does not overpower the movie. the lead actress plays her role extremely well. if you enjoyed shrek, grew up watching disney fairytale movies, are into musicals or romantic comedies (which are fairytales in their own right), are watching for McDreamy or all/none of the above, you'll enjoy Enchanted. it really is a very very good movie.
BALLS OF FURY - we watched this because we had no idea what to do. (oh kuching..there's only so much food i can take before i get fat and bored) very fast moving movie. and i wont say too much about it. its not bad. surprisingly funny enough. watch it yourself :P
NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS - unless you're american, love conspiracy theories or are a huge nick cage fan, i dont see how this movie can be entertaining. the way the events unfold are just TOO convenient. it just so happens that he can think that quickly on the spot. i like his sidekick tho. riley, i think his name is. but some of the oneliners in the movie are pretty spot on. but overall, its an okay movie.
thats all for now.
