Confessions

Which actually refers to the chrysanthemum that has a huge cameo role in the entire movie, mentioned by almost every actors/actresses in the movie and appear in almost every scene….

It wasnt that bad, but it wasnt that good either.

Costumes were beautiful, interior design of the palace was speechless…..well..it is after Zhang Yimou’s movie…no expense was spare for the visual pleasure of the audience…though quite frankly the palace design which seems like a mixture of chinese architecture and indian colours (gold n red) makes the eyes ache after staring at the big screen for a while…..my sympathy goes out to the cast members who have to ‘live’ in it……

Storyline was good…so far of all the movies i watched this year….ending was sad but typical….the only downside is that the pace was too fast, ending was too abrupt…they could have elaborated abit more which was surprising, esp since chinese flicks are often lengthy n naggy….

Jay wasnt tat bad as an actor, thou i half expected him to break into chinese rap whenever he opens his mouth…..

k, money wasnt wasted on this one…….onto the NEXT flick…..

Stay tune for Night at the museum…..

yupzie!

Saw 3! thats the number of times you have to watch in order to digest all the gory details…..storyline wise was intriguing, full of twists n ending was a surprise…sth unexpected and unbelievable….BUT do they have to use soo much ketchup for the bloody scenes!!

N whoever tell me that Eragon was nice FORGOT to tell me that it has a sequel!! i feel so cheated wor, especially wen the credits come rolling out….

Anyway another lotr-alike movie….haha, as anyone who has read my past blogs, im a huge lotr fan and any fantasy movie thats coming up will be compared to them in any possible way i can find, even rite down to the last blade of the leaf….

But the similarities are immerse…..we got;

- a reluctant hero in making (Eragon aka Frodo)

- guardian-protector-mentor (Brom aka Gandalf + Aragon)

- an egg that only hatches when it sense its owner thus the evil ring that only reveals itself to ppl it wans as owner

- running away from pursuers sent by the evil wizard (Durza aka Saruman)

n many more alike scenes…..still it wasnt a bad movie….ha! but LOTR still comes out tops!
