And here is Part II of my mini-movie-review-of-movies-that-I’ve-watched. I really wish I could watch a whole lot more but I would rot if I were to face my PC screen the entire day.

First off, (You Don’t Mess With The) Zohan…

Frankly, it was funny because Adam Sandler wasn’t Adam Sandler. ’cause I only found myself laughing over his thick-accented sentences which he apparently got from Khaustralia. You know the country that has khangharoos? Yeah, that one.

Other gimmicks includes his inhumane acts of swimming like a dolphin, taking on multiple armed contacts with no weapons… it seemed to me like he wanna be the Jackie Chan of the West.

And if there was to be a hidden message in the movie, it would be “Guys, treasure your dick. ’cause entertainment comes in different ages and sizes.”

I was pretty surprised that day included politics in the movie too, highlighting the tension between Israel and Palestine. And just like any other B-list movie, there ought to be a love story and a sexy hot babe. Sex scenes not included.

Well Zohan, you can continue to cut people’s khair but I don’t really fancy a Middle-Eastern Adam Sandler. Bring back my old Adam Sandler to me, to me!

You wanna go ask the usher for his/her number?

I’ve been watching a few movies lately, off my PC of course, ’cause I wanna catch up with those that I missed previously. Being a poor movie buff is seriously not a recommended career in Singapore.

And I just felt like doing one of those movie reviews that has rating systems which makes no sense.

5 stars - Don’t blink. I said, don’t even blink.
4 stars - You can eat your popcorn. Periodically.
3 stars - Go answer your nature call, even when it didn’t ring.
2 stars - You wanna go ask the usher for his/her number?
1 star - Go make out with your partner at the back row.

So the first one was School of Rock… Continue reading →

If you like Ong Bak or Tom Yum Goong, or watch The Contender series religiously then I don’t see why you wanna miss Chocolate. What a title for a fighting movie eh? But you’ll know why if you watch it.

The thing I like about the show - it’s real, no stunt doubles. I really salute Jeeja Yanin who plays the character Zen. Her moves are so out-of-this-world that I thought I was watching Street Fighter for a moment.

At the end of the show, they screened the making of the movie which consists of blood, blood and more blood. Occasionally there were bandages and bruises, and at one point… a broken neck. Practically every fighting scene in the movie got someone injured but it goes on to show how real the whole thing is.

The thing that I don’t like about the show - it’s really like playing Street Fighter! The villains seemed to have a life bar and will continue to fight Zen till they were really knocked out. And there were some, what I’d like to call the ‘Bosses of the Villains’ who have better fighting skills and were able to inflict some damage to Zen. They too never seem to pass out.

I’m a movie buff. But a poor one. So I’m pretty selective on what I watch on the big screens. I missed Iron Man btw. Heh, so much for a movie buff(alo) eh? No worries, the Internet works wonders.

So yesterday I went for a movie with Babe and we caught What Happens in Vegas. It is definitely better than Made of Honour, chick-flick-wise but personally I prefer the former. Maybe ’cause Cameron Diaz to me is like the hottest and sexiest woman middle-age woman and Ashton Kutcher’s body is just so hot lah!

But that aside the storyline was decent enough for me to enjoy. I’m a movie lover, not a movie critic. So my standard isn’t as high as those who claim the shots weren’t taken at the right angle blahblahblah Sometimes when you know less, you enjoy more and I prefer it that way for the time being.

There was still 3 hours more to kill before Babe get to meet her friends so the decision to watch yet another movie was kinda impromptu. Continue reading →

2 reasons to watch Resident Evil:Extinction

Source: allocine.com

Milla Jovovich is just a different type of hottie. I’d pick her over Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider anytime no matter how big Jolie’s ass lips boobs guns are. But her flawless complexion, I gotta admit, as much as it’s a nice-to-see, it’s also a one-to-wonder.

If you are a scaredy cat, don’t bother. I still can’t believe it that Babe didn’t know that Resident Evil was a horror movie. Bimbo lah you! We shall keep watching comedies and action-packed movies the next time aites?

The plot was so-so only and I expected loads more zombies. Plus the last, big one whose infamous line in the movie came to be “I told you I can’t die”, died way too easily. And certain parts of the movie were left hanging. It made me go “So what happened to them?”

Final rating: 3 out of 5. It would be 2.5 if not for Milla.

Milla, Milla… will you be my Alice in my Wonderland? :p
