Saturday is here again and yes, you have guessed it, I will probably rot at home the whole entire day. I was in the mood to get my study notes done for my final assessment moments ago, but I shall save it for later. Now, there are even more things to worry about. I have tonnes of school work piling and trust me, I will lose some of my hair in the next few weeks (or if I am lucky, it will just turn into streaks of depressing Grey). I was on the bus making my way home from the Peranakan Museum at Armenian Street yesterday and since the journey was rather long, I flipped my phone out and started listing the assignments/quizzes/presentations that will due in the coming week (if not, next).
Disclamer: I might spoil the movie if you are intending to catch it. Don't say I didn't warn you. Haha!
Headed down to Marina Square last Sunday to catch 'Knowing'. A week before that, a junior of mine introduced this movie and after I caught the trailer on Youtube.com (which was awesome) my excitement got doubled up. So I thought since he introduced the movie to me and wanted to catch it as much as I wanted to, I asked him along.
Overall, I would rate this movie 4.5 out of 5 stars. The story line I thought was pretty awesome not till it reached the ending. It was quite inane and it felt like as if the director had no idea how to end it off. Having voiceless angels with mouths that could emit strong blast of light, abducting children from all over the world in a pursuit to save mankind? Hmmmmm. Well apart from that, I thought the whole movie was well directed; of what that was unrealistic seemed too real!
One thing that I would shower the movie with my credits are for its sound and visual effects. It was incredibly stunning - sound effects especially. It engages the audience so much that every single muscle would not move - in awe. And each time an unfortunate event happens in the movie, my heart would stop beating! As much as I feel like cursing the movie for its sound effects, I thought it was equally impressive. I swear I would have suffered a heart attack in there! Haha! It is that kind of feeling where your butt would be lifted off from the chair and your eyes transfixed onto every single detail, in shock. Watch the movie and you will know what I am talking about!
I would have given a slightly higher rating if not for the dumb and sudden ending. But it is worth the money. Trust me on this.
On with the next movie --
Went to catch '17 Again' with the same people yesterday down at E!Hub Downtown East. To be really honest, I was not looking forward to this movie. I caught the trailer on the net beforehand and thought it was just alright. My instincts convinced me to just watch it.
I scanned through the cinema before it started and realised that 95% of the audience are females! Yeah, you guessed it. Could it be more obvious?
Out of 5 stars, I would rate it a solid 3. The flow of the movie was above average but the downside was how the adult Mike (played by Matthew Perry) got transformed into the 17 year old Mike (played by Zac Efron). Whirlpool of water? Oh c'mon! But I guess the constant humour injected was more than enough to cover it up.
There were a couple of my favourite scenes. The life lessons that embedded itself from the start till the end was simply great. It helped me further understand what is it like to be a father and understand his own children. To see your daughter crushed after a break-up or your son making it into the school basketball team would just be one out of the many things that a father would face. This movie serves as a reminder what love towards anyone mean and that it should be appreciated.
If I were to pick a scene that I like the most, that would be the one inside the court room - when Zac Efron started crying while giving his speech. I felt the emotions that was set across. Sounds gay but heck, you just have to catch it to know what I am talking about.
So if you're into humour and at the same time have "awwwwww" moments, I would recommend you this movie. Or if you're into Zac Efron, ladies, this is for you.
That is all for this movie review entry.
Cheers!
23rd April 2009Trying to put that off my mind momentarily, I have decided to catch two movies within a span of 7 days. Haha! I deserve to get shot in the head especially when my exams are just around the corner and the above haunting me day and night. On the contrary, it was worth taking time off and enjoy life one step at a time.
