Did no one come to save me just becos he missed me?

ME!!! haha..Captain Jack Sparrow is one of the most interesting character to come out from the silver screen these few years. In this final chapter of the pirates trilogy its nice to have him back..from Davy Jones's Locker...and Captain Babossa too. I went to watch the movie last night with not much expectations. Didnt want to end up disappointed like I did for Matrix 3 and Spiderman 3. Well, not many movie trilogies ended off satisfactorily except for LOTR, but thats becos they already got a book to reference from. I am glad pirates 3 didnt disappoint me, in fact it was a great ride. The visuals were top notched, making spidey 3 look kinda amateurish. Funny scenes were plenty and the story was full of twists. Everyone has their own agenda, Will wants to free his father, Lord Beckett wants to control the sea by getting rid of the pirates, Babossa striked a secret deal with Tia Delma who revived him. Lots of betrayal, you dont know who is on which side until the end. I particularly like the fact that they upped the role of Elizabeth swann to a very commanding position this time round. Unlike other action movies where the female lead often is just a damsel in distress, Keira Knightley held her own really well against Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush. Orlando Bloom on the other seems like the hunk in distress in this one. Its really nice to see Geoffrey Rush, Johnny Depp and Bill Nighy adding their own personally touch to their character and bring them to life so convincingly. Overall, this movie is worth the money just for the final battle scene already. Whats more, it has the most unique exchange-of-vows scene ever. The ending was kinda sad but I am glad they didnt opt for the happily ever after ending which would be kinda lame...stay till after the credits for the last scene as always.

What a suay day....

Today is friday, supposed to be a happy day..but my whole day was spoiled by some irritating assholes..Customers big fuck meh...Can anyhow accuse people...Arrogant piece of shit. Tulan to the max...

Worst movie I have ever watched....

Went to watch a movie yesterday with Vince...not myself..but my uni fren with the same name. There were not many shows to watch as Spidey 3 was filling up most of the screens and I have already watched that. In the end, I was persuaded to watch 28 weeks later. I am not really into horror movies, I mean most of them are just mindless slasher pics with gore and not much of a plot, BUT 28 weeks later sure outdid every movie in this genre by its sheer stupidity. What a horrible piece of crap this show was that I really wanted to walk out of the theatre 30mins into the movie. Its predictable, loud, lame and plain stupid. I didnt watch the original "28 days later" but if it is as stupid as this, then no thanks. The movie started from the end of the first movie with a whole new group of victims. I guess the original cast - Cillian Murphy realised how crappy this movie is going to be before everyone else did. Anyway, this movie is full of the usual horror formula - Sudden loud bangs/screams...and the best formula used in all disaster or horror movies - stupid runaway kids. You know those kids who will do just the things you tell them not to. Basically, everyone in Britain were infected with this virus that turns them into walking flesh hungry zombies. In the end, everyone died and all these zombies died of starvation months later and lo and behold Uncle Sam comes to the rescue and set up a quarantine area in London. Soon people were allowed back to London to live in this quarantine zone and no one is supposed to cross the river to the other side. And guess what? The two kids did just that on their second day there just so that the boy can go back to his old house and get a picture of his mum. They sneaked past all the military personnel, snipers so effortlessly you laugh at what they mean by quarantine. Where the hell are the barb wires? In the end, the kids got more than they asked for back home - their mum who was biten but not turned into a zombie. And what they do next? They bring her right into the quarantine zone. So what happeed next were just plain ridiculous...father heard about mum, mum had virus in body but also had some form of immunity, father went to find her, and knowing so well about what happened, he decided to kiss her. Yeah, kiss her, can anyone be more stupid? And how did the father, a plain civilian has an all-access pass that allowed him to go through all security doors to his wife? And if she is someone so dangerous, why isnt there a single guard standing outside the room? So father turns into a zombie and kills everyone in sight. Quarantine breeched, lol, what quarantine?..and the military personnel decided to ask everyone in the zone to gather at a underground carpark and lock everyone inside before clearing that area..how convenient...and guess what? Daddy's there....and soon you get a whole street of zombies. Thats the whole idea. Everyone killing everybody. So whats next? Kill everyone..infected, uninfected. Bombs...poison gas...and our male lead (father) managed to escape all that. In the end, the two stupid kids who started all these were the only two survivors, and they were told to meet this guy who will pick them up at the stadium ..randomly, i mean it could be any place in London and the guy just said "Meet me at the stadium"..and amazingly, Daddy's there again! What are the odds man..this film just annoyed me from the start till the end. No logic, no story, no acting, just plain gore,blood and I dont know what. Unless you have money to spare or you are just plain stupid, avoid this movie at all costs.

Spidey 3...The greatest battle lies within

Too much of a good thing may not be the best thing. Thats what happened to SpiderMan 3. Spiderman 1 was nice, Spiderman 2 was awesome...Spiderman 3 was just...alright. I went to watch on the opening day with quite high expectations..afterall this is the "rumoured" final episode in the spiderman series at least with the original cast members and also it took 3 years to make this compared to 2 years for spidey 2 which was great. However, it seems that the director got lost in this one. Trying too hard to introduce as many villians and characters at once probably knowing this is the last one he is directing. Alot of storylines seemed underdeveloped at the end and characters totally wasted. The much anticipated Venom was quite a disappointment considering it only appeared in the final half hour of the movie and didnt do much damage. The part about Gwen Stacy was also quite redundant. The special effects in this one seemed abit inferior compared to the second one. The much talked about "birth of sandman" sequence still looked very CG. The fight scenes this time round looked extremely jerky and badly choreographed. Lots of bumping around and you cant really see what was happening at times. Perhaps the best part of the show was how they resolved the Harry and Peter conflict..thats what I like most. The surprise ending is a clear indication that at least some people will not be coming back for Spidey 4 if there is one. Overall, its a good movie but just not up to expectations..anyhow its still a worthy ending to a great Spiderman trilogy.
