Movie Reviews

warning: some endings to these movies might be revealed.

a couple of movies i've watched for the past couple of weeks:

i) april 29th - Starsky and Hutch (TGV KLCC)

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson. the most hillarious partnership in Hollywood other than Will Smith and Martin Lawrence of the Bad Boys fame? the chemistry between them was inevitable, ever since Meet the Parents (2000), Zoolander & Royal Tenenbaums (2001) and now as partners in Starsky and Hutch. in a predictable plot, David Starsky (Ben Stiller) and Ken Hutchinson (Owen Wilson) are the good guys, against a druglord with the name of Reese Feldman (Vince Vaughn). some cameo appearances by Snoop Dogg as Huggy Bear stole the show entirely from Stiller and Wilson. if you're looking for some good laughs and typical Stiller-humor, i would recommend this movie for everyone, for real.

oh, can't wait for Meet The Parents' sequel, "Meet the Fockers", starring Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as Greg's parents.

ii) may 7th - Van Helsing (GSC MidValley)

damn! not as good as i expected. i was initially attracted with the idea that some famous legends and monsters were combined in ONE single movie, including Dr. Gabriel Van Helsing, Count Vladislaus Dracula, Frankenstein, Werewolf and Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde. even though it was almost entirely action-packed and nerve-wrecking in some scenes, the movie was dissapointing. i would actually go for Troy instead of this one.

but hey, watching Anna Valerious (Kate Beckinsale of Underworld fame..rrrr) in that tight outfit would be enough reason to go and see this adventure/horror/fantasy flick. hmm they shoould really make a sequel for Underworld, called "Underwear". i wouldn't mind watching that one. waaarrrrggghhhh hahahahaha...

iii) may 13th - Troy (TGV KLCC)

been waiting for this war epic for quite a while. the director, Wolfgang Petersen assembled one of the hottest properties in Hollywood, Brad Pitt and two emerging young "hunks", Eric Bana (of the Hulk fame) and Orlando Bloom (more known as Legolas Greenleaf of the Lord of The Rings fame). the story was pretty simple. Paris (Orlando Bloom), Prince of Troy, stole Menelaus' hot wife, Helen (Diana Kruger) and of course Menelaus got pissed like hell. he requested the help from his brother, Agamemnon (Brian Cox) to attack Troy, in what to be the biggest battle of all time. Achilles (Brad Pitt), the greatest warrior of that era refused to fight any more battles for the cowardly king, Agamemnon but changed his mind after being persuaded by Odysseus (Sean Bean or more known as Boromir of the Lord of The Rings of fame). interesting eh? two main characters from Lord of The Rings were cast in this war epic. prepared to defend Troy was none other than Paris' brother, Hector (Eric Bana) who seemed like the wisest warrior throughout the movie. in a battle scene between Hector and Achilles, i was secretly hoping that Hector would stop the battle and said, "don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when i'm angry", turned into a green monster and beat the shit out of Achilles..waarrrggghhh hahahahaha...

oh, that metrosexual Legolas was far than heroic in this one. he's notoriously known as the ladies man in Troy, clean-cut, sissy and what's worse, he's wearing a skirt..hehe. even in that skirt, Paris still carried the title of metrosexual in Troy, don't you think?

iv) may 16th - Secret Window (TGV Sunway Pyramid)

didn't know this movie was adapted from a Stephen King's novel, until i saw the opening credits. is it me or i just think the movie was too damn slow? the ending made me realized that some current movies are trying to follow the Fight Club's (starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton) formula. in the end, the main character suffered from multiple personality disorder, which explains everything; the confusion, the mystery, etc. i wouldn't recommend this to anybody, just wait for the DVDs to come out.
or maybe i was just too sleepy for this one.

yeap. i made crappy movie reviews. i should stick as just watchin'. i'm out. anybody figured out the riddle yet?

A slight Difference

Bill Gates in his book "The Road Ahead" says in future we might have to speak in order to change channels on TV instead of remembering channel numbers. I feel that in future we will have a remote which displays a list of channel names and all we have to do would be to select the channel on the remote touch screen.

To the one who is out there

He is not perfect, but is such a well-rounded guy. He knows fairly much everything in this world; from political situations in countries to various celebrity gossips. He listens to fairly everything; from the ghetto hip hop, r&b, punk rock, & classical. He has self confidence to talk in front of people and defend himself from any disgrace, the skills to socialize (if not much, just enough to make his world filled with friends), a mature personality, the ability to play any sports, a poetic pair of hands to write beautiful stuff, a functional brain which produces logical thoughts, and a kind heart.

It doesnt matter if he is short, or skinny, or doesnt know how to dance, because he is such an amazing creation God has made.

Me? A jackass? No kidding.

Ok, I was going to let this go, but since I'm such an anal-retentive asshole I just couldn't help myself.

In the post below I received a comment from someone who stumbled in here either from BlogExplosion or from randomly browsing Blogger blogs. To show their cracking wit, they decided to leave their name as "Not You Thankfully". The comment is quite simple: "You're one hell of a jackass." No contact information left.

First thing's first, getting back to that anal-retentiveness - kudos on your spelling and punctuation, not many people bother any more. Although I probably would have chosen to use "You are" as opposed to "You're". I'm not sure which is proper in this instance, if either one actually is.

Moving on - yes, I am a jackass. I am an arrogant, narcissistic, petty, egotistical, conceited, selfish little human being.

I'm also a sensitive, kind, caring, compassionate, loving person. I can be the nicest guy in the world when I want to be.

Unfortunately for you, dear reader, this is not where I am nice. This is where I am sarcastic and mean to no one and everyone in particular.

That being said, "Not You Thankfully", a great big corkscrew up your ass.

Oh, and if you have a dog, I hate it.

Glad to be part of the team

I would just like to say thank you to Bassguy for giving me a shot at giving everybody my opinion. I'll probably do alot of game reviews and the like. Well I must go so I can get back to my KotoR 2 game.
