Battle Ship + Avengers – Movie(s)

I’m not a movie maniac, just that recently I’ve been watching quite a number of movies, I don’t know why either, and I really didn’t had much of a intention to watch the above movies, but I’m glad I’ve watched Avengers.

Recently, there’s been an uprising amount of movies which have scenes of buildings exploding / collapsing / disasters etc, I think there must be a software lurking around somewhere that sells them these kind of disasters effects, I’ve been watching so many of those “destroying buildings” effects these days.

Okay, long story short, I’ve watched the above movies. Lazy to write about how I feel about them, nobody’s reading them anyway (throwing tantrum keke).

Only one thing to say : JEREMY LEE RENNER IS MY NEW IDOL!!! He’s so DAMN COOL in Avengers!!

YES HIM!!! Acting as Hawkeye in the Avengers movie. Look at the bow!! Look at his arm muscles!! (I’m weak with arm muscles *drooling*).

Conclusion : Just watch this guy in the Avengers movie, filter off other guys.

PS : Thinking of rebonding my hair again, 80% of my hair inside looks like spring coil man.

Hunger Games – Movie

Before I talk about the movie, I wanna complain about something : my mum threw away my World of Warcraft mousepad!!!!!!!!

Something that looked like the above. Yup, I know mine is like dirty, cuz it’s been used for like… When 3rd expansion is out for WoW, lemme check how long has it been… 2008! It’s been with me for 4 years!! I’ve gotten it when I pre-ordered for the hard copy of the expansion pack and now it’s gone, *depressed*.

Okay, am depressed is not cuz I’m a huge big fan of WoW (as much as how I sound like 1 to you, I’m really not that big of a fan, I only subscribed to the game for a year cuz I had nothing better to do, especially not with the mac I’m using, hell, I can’t even have funshion. Question goes down to : so why did I bought it? Cuz I’m crazy). The reason why I continued on using the mousepad which is really dirty is cuz it’s really nice to use!!! There are some mousepads that when I use my mouse on it, sometimes the mouse are not as effective, and now my mum just threw it away without asking me.

*drew circle in one corner*.

Sigh.

Anyway, let’s move on, can’t do anything about it. Wanted to buy another mousepad online on WoW website which goes for 15USD,

The price is quite acceptable to me, just when I clicked Add to Cart and ready to pay for it.. Know what? The shipping fee is actually 18USD, that is more than the prize of the frigging mousepad!! Nope, I’m not prepared to spend a 50 bucks for a mousepad, especially not when the shipping is more than the mousepad itself. (sweats)

Okay, so I’ve watched this show like, I dunno, 2 weeks ago? Too lazy to blog nowadays, my life is as boring as a life of  a snail. (Wanted to say cockroach, but I think its life might be more adventurous than mine).

I only have a conclusion to make of this movie : overrated.

There’s such a big whoo ha about how great this movie is, how nice the plot is, blah blah and blah, my friend even told me she don’t mind watching it a second time, which made me really thought : Wow, is it that nice?

I think it’s cuz this movie have to cater to people of all ages, and this storyline, no matter how you look at it, doesn’t seem like it can be catered for all ages (though it’s a young adult novel), so there are some parts whereby they should go over it slower, and more detailed-ly, was just shown rather briefly. Eg, fighting scenes. Throughout all the fighting scene, the camera is shifting around all the places like as if the camera holder is currently filming a earth quake disaster, so a lot of supposedly-should-be-gory parts are just brought over. Some parts which I can’t wait for it to be like earth quake scene however, were shown in a slow pace.

I’m not a person who watches gory / horror show (as most of you should know by now), but I think they could have shown more on the violent parts, the camera was shaking so much of the time that when the “game” started, half of the contestants were already dead but I was still kinda in my lalaland, not knowing what just happened.

I like the female lead character though, she’s very suave throughout the show, and it’s archeryyyyyyy!!! Archery is coooollllll, though my brother told me once before that guns are cooler, because it’s definitely more practical and faster, eg : before I can load an arrow, I’d have been killed by a gun already (I could only roll eyes at him when he said it). Apparently, this lady here underwent archery training through a Olympian archer before she went to act on this movie, yup, which made the whole thing so real haha.

Anyway, just a side thing, she (Jennifer Lawrence) actually acted in X-Men : First Class before, as Mystique, that’s surprising haha.

On the whole, this movie is okay. Unlike my friend, I wouldn’t wanna watch it a second time, it’s draggy at some points which I find it unnecessary, and the eye candy for this movie for me is the girl instead of the guy haha.

John Carter – Movie

Before I’m officially gone from SIngapore tomorrow, gonna finish up this post first, else I’d most probably forgot 50% of the storyline next week I’m back. Yes, Oi, I’ll TRY to feel your wrath while I’m happily strolling around in the Casino of Genting, or when I’m happily sitting down in some StarBucks drinking Chocolate Cream Chip (or Chocolate Chip Cream / Or whatever some other nice StarBucks drink). Hehe. Yup, I’m so gonna do that.

I’ve went to watch this show, knowing that it’s not a good show. Heard so from my colleague, she told me the show is losing money and many reviews saying that it sucks. Being the spoilt and curious brat I am, I went ahead to bought the tickets for my friend and I. Before the show commences, I whispered to her,

“I heard this show is losing money.”

Gave me a O_O look and whispered back, “You knew this after you buy the tickets or before you buy the tickets.” You know how when you watch some romance movies and this couple is bickering, and the female lead will ask the male lead some question, but obviously you can hear in her tone that your answer has better be the correct one. (just a analogy, I’m not a lesbian by the way, I drool at guys). Yup, I felt it, but having the virtue of honesty in me, I answered the truth,

“Erm… I heard it when I was buying the tickets.” (Which is half-truth, I heard of it when I was queuing).

“… You must be lazy to take out your phone to call me to tell me this, which is why you go ahead to buy the tickets because it’s more troublesome to call me and ask me what other movies we wanna watch!” *Accusation tone*.

Dang! Bingo.

Anyway, lucky thing is, this show is not half that bad. Maybe cuz both of us think that Immortals suck way more than this movie, or both of us were already prepared to watch something that’s as sucky as Immortals or way bad than Immortals.

For those who don’t remember what Immortals is, I’ve wrote a review on it before, think it contain most spoilers : Immortals.

I think this is one of the few shows where I didn’t really drool at the male lead, there’s a few parts that I think he’s really good looking though. When he reminisce of his past with his ex-wife and he had much shorter hair then (Reallllllyyyyyyyy cool, just in the movie though, cuz when I actually went to google his pictures, really don’t find him appealing to me).

The star of the movie, however, I think is not the male lead, nor the female lead. It’s this :

Gonna keep this picture as big as the poster, cuz he’s really cute. Haha. He’s the alien dog which keeps following the male lead around (running as swiftly as any flying gadget in the movie). How did this guy become so popular? No idea man, he’s really cute in the show, not the literally kind of cute, but yeah, cute.

It has all the qualities of a man’s best friend : dog.

Don’t wanna write too much spoilers because I think you all can give this show a try. I like the little twist it has in the end.

The only thing that gets me thinking is, if I was really involved in the show (the usual thing I always think when I watch movie, which is why I don’t watch horror, I can’t make it past 1 minute of the show man), I’d be in trouble. Apparently, you have to memorise this code name thingy which can teleports you to and fro. It was repeated like 3-4 times in the show, but till now I don’t remember any of the code at all. Dang.

MIssion Impossible : Ghost Protocol – Movie

I’m not really a Mission Impossible fan, I’ not even considered an action-movie lover, but I did watch the 2 recent Mission Impossible movies starring Tom Cruise in it. You people should know how shallow I am anyway wahaha.

Anyway, the show is actually pretty nice. What makes the movie really worth the movie ticket price is the 2 hours 10 minutes of playing time. I almost became an ice block inside despite my jacket covering over me. Thank god I didn’t leave my jacket in the office. The previous movie I’ve watched is the Immortals. In comparison, this movie is like really good, I’m not saying this movie sucks, and is only better as compared to the sucky Immortals. I like the storyline, at least I can’t find loop holes like I did in Immortals (the loopholes in that movie is as much as the holes in those cheese that we see in Tom & Jerry cartoon).

And, I have a thing for guys in hood / cloak. You know, like the main character in Assasin’s creed / Priest. I don’t know why but I really find the guys in the hood super super super (* 1 million times) attractive to me. I’d fall head over heels for them, I’ve still regretted not watching Priest. Sigh. This is the reason why I’ve uploaded the above picture with Tom Cruise in the hood, hoho. Can you believe it? He’s like 49 already (that seriously shocked me when I wiki-ed him). But he’s still so good looking!!!! <33333333 Yeah, I’m as shallow as shallow.

I like the fighting scenes, it’s nice and the female looks good when she’s fighting too. Occasional funny parts when the technological stuffs used by the 2 guys in the movie had faulty bugs and might have caused deaths to them.

As I was watching, I realised, I not only can’t survive in a disaster movie (as refer to the post here), I will also not be able to survive in an action movie at all.

1 ) There’s this chasing scene where the protagonist and the criminal was in a run-and-chase situation and both were running for like 10 minutes without stopping? What’s more was they were running at their full speed. Me? It’s amazing I could even run at full speed for like 1 minute. Maybe not even 10 seconds.

2 ) Bombing that occurs every now and then, I’m so oblivious to everything that’s happening around me, the protagonist realised the bombing as soon as smoke started coming out from the building and starts running. Me? Even if I DID see smoke appearing from all the windows of the building, I’d be like “oh? there’s a fire?” and have my whole body vaporized before being able to use my 10 seconds charge to run away.

In conclusion, running is a very important part of our life, you’d have to run in horror, action, disaster movies. I should go running more often.

Immortals – Movie

I didn’t really wanted to watch this show. No, I wanted to but at the same time I don’t want to. I’m really quite against shows that are M18 and R21, unless it’s the you-know-what kind. I have always wanted to watch 300, because it seems like the kind of show when you’re watching, you really feel like shouting along with them, but I didn’t went to watch and have regretted since then. So I went ahead to watch this when my friend said she wanna to watch it.

I feel like, I’m watching a show that consist of a few humans and millions of jellies, with more juice, and more jelly pieces. And juices. And jelly pieces. More juices. More jelly pieces. And jellies. And juices. Juices. Jellies. Okay stop. It’s amazing how much liquids are shown in the show. If 300 was another jellies and juices show, I think it might not be worth watching it, though I am still curious.

Don’t think any of you are going to watch it anyway, so I’m going to reveal some spoilers here. There are a lot of parts of the film which don’t really make sense to me. So there’s this evil bastard who decides to kill all jellies (and gods?) because the gods didn’t answer his prayers for saving his wife and children (and nothing more was told about this anymore, we only know they’re dead). So he decided to get this random Bow thing which will be able to release a bunch of things called “Titans” which gives off the impression that these things are like some Transformers beings. If everybody in reality thinks like this guy does, I think our humanity would be bombed like 10 million times because few people actually strike 4D/Toto.

Okay, fine, let’s overlook this point and look at this other point. The Transformers-like beings are being trapped in this random mountain like just in front of the capital of Greece ( in some b.c year), in this random jail-cell like thingy, with this random pole which they are all biting in their mouths. So this jail like cell thing is square and the Transformers are standing in either 4×5 or 5×5, side by side and line by line. Have no idea why are they biting on to the pole, maybe to give off the feel that they are bound in that random place. Titans were once immortals, like the Gods, but because they were evil or what (maybe caught watching porn) and then banished into that jail cell to bite on the poles and labelled as Titans aka Transformers. So as they were saying, if Titans were released, the Gods and jellies would be in danger. Which we later find out, it’s not really the case at all, the Gods kinda seems super imba, like a Transformer that has transformed and kill off other Transformers that haven’t transformed. Then as the fight ensues, we see a few of the Gods starting to die. Then, something that’s really puzzling happened. The Zeus (leader of Gods) jumped on to the random jail cell where there are actually 2 random rope like thingies strapped on to the sides of the mountains. So what he does is, he pulled the ropes, the whole mountain collapsed, and all Transformers died.

He could have like done this 1 million years ago right? Why keep them confined within that random jail cell, forcing them to bite the pole? Weird. Some fetish, maybe. And he sacrificed like 4 other Gods while fighting the Transformers (including his daughter). Oh, and amazingly, I told you guys I saw like 4×5 and 5×4 Titans inside right. While fighting, I swear, we were shown like > 15 Transformers-jellies being killed, and yet there are still more Transformers-jellies.

I guess the reasons why I don’t really like watching gruesome shows is cuz :

• I tends to actually imagine myself in that situation and feel the fear and pain the victim at that time was feeling
• I would think what I’d do if I was in that person’s shoes and what would happen if I did what I am thinking

There’s a lot of brave people in this show who no matter what, does not succumbs to the threat of the evil bastard. The priest even slice off his own tongue just so that evil bastard would not get anything out of him. I seriously salutes this guy man. I wish war will never come, I’ll seriously feel like this goldfish being thrown into the sea filled with crocodiles, sharks and piranhas. And, don’t even talk about fighting in the war, I can’t even keep a secret man. Point a knife anywhere near my body, I’ll tell you whatever you want to know.

And when I was watching this scene where the jellies were being pounded in jelly pieces during the final war, and the protagonist was bravely chionging at the front, smashing whatever jellies and puddings that were in his way. I thought, “what if actually the puddings and jellies in front wanted to avoid him, but he just kept smashing ‘em?” “What would happen to me if I was in front of him and I BADLY want to just skip to the side?”. Then I finally came with the conclusion that I would just take that round shield thing given to me, find a spot in the corner corner, cover the shoe over my body, smear people’s blood all over myself and lie on the ground praying to Gods that nobody will notice me and for the thing to finish.

Side note : the people who have helped the protagonist ended up dead, and the oracle priestess got pregnant with his kid, but he was the only one who joined the Gods in the end. Wth?

Anyway. Point is, this show wasn’t really worth watching at all. I really curious about 300 now.
