wht's the latest movie u watched?

Had nothing to do while I stayed with Jenny at the hospital, so I went on a movie binge the last two days.

I watched :

Angels & Demons - Okay effort. Good watch if you never read the book. Quite disappointing if you did. Better than the Da Vinci Code though. But I honestly think Tom Hanks is a bad choice for Professor Langdon. He's a very good actor but he's just not the type.

Batman : The Dark Knight - Heath Ledger was certainly very good in this movie. Plenty of action, plenty of twists. Very good movie. Long movie too, so go to the toilet first!

The Final Destination 4 - Entertaining flick, but we already know the story. There's nothing new in this movie, if you are wondering. If you have already seen the previous 3 movies, it's just more of the same, so it's mainly about enjoying the ride.

Star Trek - Woohooo!! What a movie! Plenty of action with a good story, but unfortunately, a little thin on physics... but what the heck, it's still Star Trek! Zachary Quinto was superb as the young Spock but Chris Pine just didn't "look" the part of James T. Kirk. Must watch, nonetheless!!

X-Men Origins : Wolverine - The X-Men franchise sure is chugging along just fine. They just chalked up another great movie with this one. Must watch!

 

Just watched some triller flicks :

Exit Speed - No one really famous in this movie, but it's an okay watch... The story isn't what you expect at the beginning, and can be a little unbelievable, but if you got nothing better to do, it's a watchable movie.

Jennifer's Body - Her hotness, Megan Fox, is the main draw in this movie. No, you don't get to see her naked, although it is implied that some of the characters in the movie did - lucky bastards! It isn't scary or gross, it's more of a fun watch with some cheap scares along the way.

Also rewatched some older movies :

The Kingdom - An action-packed movie, with some thought-provoking thoughts thrown in about US vs. The Terrorist, and Saudi Arabia's part in the whole thing. At the very end, it is shown that both parties have the same thing in mind - "We will kill them all".

Saving Private Ryan - What a movie... Never ceased to be amazed by it, no matter how many times I watch it. Tom Hanks is truly in his element here, not as some half-believable, pseudo-hip professor slash part-time action hero in the Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons.

 

I just watched The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

It was a really weird movie! It's quite funny here and there, with some interesting parts thrown in, but the movie was just "out there" and there are parts that just make you wonder, "What's going on???"

It's a great movie if you are of the "artistic" type. Otherwise, you will be bored to death.

 

I just watched Avatar in 3D.

What a movie. Great computer graphics and special effects although the 3D effect isn't as amazing as I thought it would be. Still, a very, very good effort by James Cameron.

It actually made me think of Dances with Wolves. Not only the length of the movie but also the plot. Herein lies the problem - it lacks some originality.

The Na'vi are like a poorly-disguised combination of Native American and African cultures. But if you ignore that, it's a very good movie to watch.

 

It's great for its action sequences and graphics, but I agree, the plot is really a hack job.

Even the characters are poorly disguised amalgams of African and Native American people.

BTW, aren't the Na'vi blue in colour????

 

ROTFL!!!! Did James Cameron rip Avatar off Pocahontas????

 

Well, Jenny fell asleep (yes, finally managed to force her out of the house!)... and babyangel got so dizzy she had to walk out of the cinema for a few minutes.
