Moviessssss...

Just finished watching Fast and Furious on DvD-Rip.
In the interest of piracy and erm...what is the proper term for it these days? Peer sharing?... anyone wanna post up a most wanted movie list?
Like one wise man said to me one fine day whilst surfing some rather..*ahem* websites...
To Share Is to Care! -
The best stuff is found at www.sharereactor.com but u need edonkey.
But if you're one of those newbies insisting on using kazaa, fasttrackmovies.com will give you some links to high quality movies on kazaa. -
after having survived 3 hours of Godfather 1 and followed by Star Wars 2 (3rd run), all i want for Xmas right now is Caligula (un-edited version). and also THE scene from Monster's Ball with Halle Berry (chocolate heaven) Billy Bob Thornton (formerly known as Mr Angelina Jolie).
edonkey abit too complicated lah! as for kazaa, you're more likely to end up watching Zoolander. (disguised by some other movie titles)
to share is to care, indeed!!! -
28 days later <--- THE must-watch movie of the millenium!!!
max and his julie will definitely agree!
supposedly, (as claimed by some certain individual) it is a British 'light-hearted romantic comedy' with some ermm.. eye-popping scenes. ha ha......
-
and also, watch out for the heart-stopping, seat-jerking, spine-tingling car-alarm scene at the start of the movie (28 Days Later).

next up : Donnie Darko.
followed by, surprise surprise, Lord of The Rings 2.
reviews in Singlish will be provided immediately after viewing. -
Review for Donnie Darko
one helluva psychologically-demented show.
schizophrenia + time travel + romance + murder + school bullies + bizarre halloween costume + killer-punchlines + dysfunctional family + falling plane engines + cheerleading competition + paedophilia + arson + masturbation = mental-roller-coaster ride!!
catch it while its still there!!!
ps: surprise cameo appearances by a several familiar faces to boot!
just dont watch it if you dont intend to burn your 'blain' cells.

Review for Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
Ah Puay Seng has summarised what i'm about to say about LOTR 2 in his oh-so-short-n-cute mini-review.
Yes, the violence quotient has been raised by leaps and bounds since the first instalment.
No, Liv Tyler still got to keep her clothes on. (damn!)
To add to the confusion (of the non-nudity), there're 2 White Sorcerers this time. One's supposed to be dead. The other deserves to die. (in a horrible way, at least)
For a 3+ hour-long show, it could be much better. We, the ever-gullible consumers, could've endured only the standard-2-hour-per-movie duration. But NOOOO, the sadistic script writers had to include all those oh-so-significant speeches about courage,bravery humanity blah blah blah and all those typical Oscar-hopeful mambo-jumbo.
Well, consolation, tho. There were more blood shed and bodies sliced n diced like chee cheong fun.
And to top it all off, we haven been guaranteed the deaths of the annoying barefooted Hobbits come the next sequel.
Next Up: Gangs Of New York -
Review for Gangs Of New York
Definitely not for the faint-hearted!! The opening gang-fight-scene was enough to ruin your appetite even for the best nasi lemak in town.
Yes, ladies and gentleboys, its another one of Martin Scorsese's almost-classics. (will be a full-blown-without-a-doubt-classic only if Cameron Diaz bared her assets. Yes, boys. a moment of silence.)
we have a rojak of emotional + physical roller coaster ride.
vengeance + betrayal + loyalty + politics + integrity + racism + rampant sex + rampant sex + rampant.. oops.. + gang fights + and oh yes, a little something for the ladies too---> the oh-so-vulgar 4-letter word L-O-V-E.
One of the rare movies where the bad guy up-stages the suspiciously-feminine hero. Daniel Day Lewis' character will give Dr Hannibal Lecter a run for his Turkish Lira.
The racial and social divide were portrayed graphically towards the end.
Tonnes of message was what the creators attempted to cramp into a 3-hour show. Surprisingly, tho, it was 3 hours more tolerable than the equally-lenghty Lord Of The Rings 2.
One gripe. Prepared to be disappointed if u expect a grand finale between the good and the bad. No Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon-like fighting scenes. But this is Hollywood!
Personal Rating: 8/10 -
one movie i can't wait to watch.... 8mile!

Review for 8 Mile
Movies with singers/rappers acting as main characters have never really appealed to me. (unless there're tonnes of nudity and wild beastly sex involved. but that's not the point...)
Never really a big fan of i-hate-the-world-and-i-hate-the-way-the-world-hates-me Eminem. Have always associated that certain white rapper with skate-boarding little kids wearing over-sized clothings and baseball caps.
As for the movie, the plot was typical. Bollywood-style. Poor youth from dodgy neighbourhood going against all odds. In this case, racial discrimination as well as family dysfunction. (check out his mom, though!!)
Poor WHITE youth gets bullied by Afro-Americans (to be politically correct) and finally gets sweet revenge via some cool ego-boosting, reputation-stamping, foul-mouthed, mama-vandalising moves during the finale.
My favourite part of the entire otherwise-draggy movie was the Battle scene. Never has rhymin n rappin sounded so damn shiok! perhaps we can organize one of these battles among ourselves. In cantonese/hokkien/malay. Rasa sayang, eh rasa sayang......
Ok lah... not being able to provide much nonsense this time. been rusty especially after such a long hiatus.
Rating for 8 Mile: 6/10 -
Review for Daredevil
Another comic superhero gets a Hollywood make-over.
J-Lo's what's-his-name-other-half plays a blind lawyer by day and a (surprise surprise) justice vigilante with bat-like supersonic-detecting capabilities by night. If u ask me, its almost like Batman, only that he's blind. And wears a different-coloured body tights. With the same cool how-on-earth-did-he-get-or-made-those-when-he's-blind ghizmos/gadgets.
Anyway, the movie was not exactly your typical slash'em whoop-their-asses superhero serving. But then again, so was Spiderman, Batman, Superman, etc.... thank god this superhero's name doesnt end with Man. imagine watching Dareman. eeeuurrghh......
The show was pretty generous on action/fighting scenes. A word of caution, tho. Those scenes can get pretty Blair-Witch-Project-like at times. I had to cling tightly onto the popcorn box and close my eyes and start counting sheeps to prevent sharing with the rest of the audience what i had for last night's dinner.
This is one of 'em shows u dont really need to sacrifice much brain cells for. Watch it for the sheer entertainment value of it. For those who desire arty-farty intellectual type of movies, go watch Barney And Friends instead.
