Movie reviews...

I have managed to catch two movies last week despite celebration going on...The first one was Kung Fu Hustle...

Alrite, im suspecting some of you are Hoo-Haaing me for going after this film after my endless attempts of portraying Stephen Chow as 'CHEAP' and low class and brainless and whatshit...the truth is, my friends have, i wouldnt say FORCE, but rather, 'invited' me to join 'em for this loathsome film...I was vacant that day, and i thought let's give dat dude a chance...Boy, was i wrong on giving him a chance...

If i cud turn back time, i would definitely follow my instinct and boycott SC's film altogether...Gosh, it was a superbly LOUSY film with no story line AT ALL....jokes and funny antics that have gone over the line and seen many times from his previous films apart, SC has lost his charm of throwing the laughter bomb...The special effect aint impressive too, too childish, i would say...

To make up for my mistake for mistakenly allowing myself to spend couple of hours watching SC doing monkey gesture, i have ever since tell EVERYONE i know NOT TO watch this freakingly E-rated film to save 'em the 10 bucks and to let SC earn less of the same equivalent...C'mon, fellow malaysian, let's boycott him!!
But deep inside me, i know my act would have been futile, believe or not, this film would turn up the 1st place in Malaysia's Box Office...they really adore this guy...typically Malaysian...and singaporean, taiwanese, honkee for the like...

Feeling rather upset for watching a stupid and lousy film, i was adamant in catching another movie to make up for my lost time...and yeah, i saw Phantom of the Opera, which was the exact contrary of KFH, an A-rated film indeed...

I would even start comparing POTO with KFH for fear of contaminating the former, coz it is simply incomparable...This world class musical has once again shown itself in the lime light, thanks to ALW...The songs ARE mesmerizing, even when they sing their dialogues...The leading actress is charming, pretty, and sings like an angel...

On the other hand though, i must say the voice of the phantom wasnt as good, he didnt exactly croak...but...there was jz something in his voice that tells me it aint flawless...alrite, he didnt sing well...end of story...

Overall, the 2.5 hours was well spent, listening again to my favourite renditions and seeing nice outfits and gorgeous costumes...it was eye-candy to all...Now if the casts in KFH can dance as good as the ones in POTO, i would certainly give credit to 'em...but...ugh~~

Dun say i havent warned you guys...save up the money for goodness sake...It would be save to assume that Puteri Gunung Ledang is better than KFH, though i havent seen it...but they are of different genre altogether....who cares anyway...
