Movie Weekend!

Well weekends doesn't really mean anything to me these days. Everyday is like a weekend to me. The only different is, I had a car on the weekend! So this weekend was kind of a normal weekends for me. Haha. I usually spend a lot of time in the cinema. Hasn't been doing it a lot recently due to my travelling from KL to Penang and Penang to KL. So I guess this is the only weekend in the month of August that I actually had some time alone and caught with some friends.

Saturday was good. I met up with Boonz, Yan and Nigel. We went for a brunch at Picadilly, Millennium Square. I had my favourite Fried Nasi Lemak! Haha! After that, we went to 1U to catch a movie. We wanted to watch Grown Ups but too bad the seating were not very strategic. So we opted for Repomen. Yawn...

Yup. It was so damn boring that Yan keep yawning. Apparently he told me there were a few scenes in which he actually dozed off. The movie is pointless and I hate the ending. Screw the old-fashion-dream twist. When you think the show ended happily, there came the spoiler. It is just a dream. I hate it. Simply hate it. Where got people use this type of ending anymore? Well, I forgave Inception for that ending because the movie is all about dreams. So it make sense to end it with a dream.

Moreover in Repomen, I don't understand why all the fan service scenes. Worst is, it is not servicing the fans enough. The girl is not hot. The scenes are not satisfying. Why bother having them? There was this lousy making out scene that I don't even know how can it be there. 1st the producer of the movie show there was a strong bond between the father and son. Later on the father did not want a divorce. But minutes later, the father was making out with a girl in which he only met once after the girl ask him to ask her bout her lips. WTH? I just don't get it?!?!

Worst part is there is this pointless, senseless, totally irrelevant making out scene when they were in the pink room deleting their accounts because they couldn't afford to pay for their artificial organs. Guys with guns are out there and yet they still have time for a little hot samba in the pink room. Totally remind me of Clive Owen and Monica Bellucci in Shoot 'Em Up.

One more thing! Hey?! Hello?! You can't pay for it so you are suppose to return the goods? Isn't it right? Or am I wrong? Seriously, the whole movie make it seems like we should fight for our life, run and hide if we can't pay our bills. Is that the moral value behind it or was I too sleepy to understand the whole concept of the movie?

After the movie, Yan was asking me bout The Expendables. Well, I have to say it was only slightly better than Repomen because there were more actions but also the plot is lousy. Don't understand why Stallone had to go back to save the girl. Our Asian hero, Jet Li is like a joke in there. It makes me wonder if they pay him double since he keep complaining in the movie that he life is more difficult because he is small. The worst is not the plot. The worst of all in the movie is the script. I don't think it is funny. Sounds more like filling in the blanks during awkward moments where there are nothing much to say.

There was this part in the movie where they were trying to fly the plane that make me totally HUH?

Statham : Come on baby. Come on!
Stallone : Yea baby~

I was like HUH?

Today, I went for 2 other movies. The first one was City Under Siege by Aarom Kwok and Shu Qi. The movie was way better and more entertaining than Repomen. The movie was produced by Benny Chan. So it should be good and it is good. It was entertaining. The boring moments were short and mostly were relevant to the story line. One thing it lack is the romantic moments between Aaron Kwok and Shu Qi (i'm not referring to making out scenes). I don't understand how they fell for each other. There weren't any particular special, happy, romantic, love developing moment. You know in most love story there is always this electrifying moment in the movie where the main actor and actress found out they fell for each other and the audience also can feel it. Majority of the movies these days do not have these scenes anymore but there was a movie in which I personally felt love developing among the main characters. It is the movie She's Out Of My League. Love the movie totally. Haha. By the way, Shu Qi is Hawt!

Next, I went for the move The Descent Part 2. This movie is brilliant. Haha. I love it. The gory, bloody scenes were excellent. But I still prefer Part 1.

In Part 1, this group of ladies went cave exploring and ended up in the nest of some carnivorous mammals which look like defected humans and they are always slimy. Part 1 ended with Sarah running free after piercing an ice pick through the leg of her friend Juno who cheated with her husband. Sarah left Juno screaming in pain and by screaming, she can attract all the monster to her. By doing that (on purpose), Sarah can free herself. Part 2 continues from where Part 1 ended. Sarah apparently lost her memory and went back to the caves with more people to search for her friends. It means more people will be brutally bitten to death. Part 2 is more relaxing comparing to Part 1. Part 1 was more tense and more worthy of a scream. Here's the good catch in the movie. Juno is alive! I thought she was dead. She rejoined Sarah and fought the beasts. Wow.. She is one ass kicking lady. In the end, there was this little drama, the same thing happened. Sarah, Juno and the lady cop saw the escape route. They were heading towards it and then came a bigger monster. The fought and fought like crazy women. But this time, Juno was not so lucky. She was killed by the monsters. This time, Sarah couldn't leave her (didn't explain why she can do it the first time but can't do it the second time), the monsters were approaching her and the police woman. So Sarah screamed and attracted all the monsters to her. So that the police woman can run. The police woman manage to break free into the forest but.... (I'll let you guess the ending but it is not a very usual ending). Here's the good one. I just assumed Sarah is dead because in the last scene she appeared in, all the monster were crawling towards her. The same thing happen to Juno in Part 1. So... you tell me did she survive or not.
