movies summarized...

as what i've posted in my previous entry, yesterday was my movie marathon day and that was exactly what i did..watched 3 movies in a row hahaha (talk about living the life hehe). anyhow, instead of going for the late night movie, i started earlier so that my quota of 3 movies were fulfilled..and besides, i was darn sleepy by the time the 3rd movie ended :).

the movie marathon started at 5pm with 'Bangkok Dangerous' as the appetizer haha, but honestly, i was the least interested to watch this movie because i kinda knew how it would be like. unfortunately, there are limited shows at 5pm and the only movies available at that hour was 'High School Musical: 3' and that somewhat dissapointing movie which i went for hahaha.

if 'Bangkok Dangerous' was the appetizer, the main course would be 'The House Bunny' and good thing it was satiating hehehe. i'm not really sure why i liked the movie, maybe there's something about Anna Faris haha.

i didn't go for any side dish after that since i was beginning to get a bit stuffed so i skipped straight to dessert with 'Disaster Movie'..and man..it was a disaster alright! i mean, the humors were lame, the actors looked like idiots and Kim Kardashian (i think it was her) was just a pretty face to compensate for the ugliness of the rest of the crew (good thing she died early haha)

Bangkok Dangerous
my personal opinion on the movie? well, i expected a 'more action and less talk' kinda movie..but with Nicholas Cage in it (don't get me wrong, i love the dude), there's no way a supposed action movie can be a truly action movie..know what i mean hehehe.

the action stunts were, how may i put it...mediocre and nothing thrilling about it. everything about the movie is a drab. to summarize the movie: it's about an assasswin hired by a businessman to get rid of his rivalries, the downside was...he fell in love with a deaf lady and got attached with his messenger boy which led him to his death trying to save him (yeah, that's a spoiler..the hero died haha). i could've had a better time watching the High School musical hahaha.

my recommendation: a must watch movie if you feel like sleeping in the cinema...

my rating: 2* out 5*

The House Bunny

well, this movie got me smiling throughout its period haha. there's just something about Anna Faris playing a blonde dumb which always gets me going haha. humors were pretty good and everyone was a sport, at least the jokes are quite original and aren't repetitive as in the other similar genres :).

What is the movie about? well, it's about a playboy bunny who got tricked by a jealous housemate into leaving Hugh Hefner's playboy mansion, being homeless and out of job, she decided to become a 'housemother' to a sorority house and changes all the occupants from being losers to populars (yeah, it's a bit cliche but at least it has it's own twist :P) with her vast experience as a bunny..basically, it's about a movie of an innnocent girl finding herself in an unexpected way :).

my recommendation: a good chick flick of the month and not to be watched alone. bring your friends (or boyfriends, i bet they would be entertained by some of the flicks in it hehe) for a feel good full of laughter moments :).

my rating: 3 1/2* out of 5*

Disaster Movie

A TOTAL DISASTER!!! that's all i can say. no originality, humorless jokes, stiff actors..all and all, JUST PLAIN STUPID!! muy estupido haha...i think that sentiment says much about the movie :P.

my recommendation: great movie!!....for retards :)

my rating: 5* out of 5*....but only if you're a retard hahaha

hmm..that's enough for this morning's ramblings,...stay tuned, for more actions and adventures hahaha.

Ciao peeps :)...

ps: what to do? what to do?...hehe

movie marathon hehehe...

last night was good, been quite awhile since i had a good laugh with a bunch of matured people (noo...i'm not saying you people are old, though basically i was the youngest one in the group hahaha). there's just something about hanging out (although it was work related hehe) with these kinda people who knows how to let loose yet still sensible enough on keeping their maturity and sanity intact hahaha...you people rawk :P.

anyhow, after last night's much laughter and little mayhem, i've decided to do something on my own tonight. been missing out on good movies lately and i intend on doing some catching up, so tonight will be my movie marathon night :P.

so, what do i normally do when i'm in a mood for a movie marathon? well, in my case, i look at which cinema to go to before deciding on what movie to watch. Kota Kinabalu has several cinema to choose from, and choosing the right cinema can be quite a hassle. On normal movie days, i would decide on what movie to watch and only then decide on which cinema to go to, but on a marathon day, i would consider a cinema which has more interesting movies to watch and plan the time frames for each movies :).

now, a brief explanation on the cinemas available in Kota Kinabalu (based on my own opinion):

GSC (Golden Screen Cinema) KK: One of the oldest surviving cinema around, the cinema halls are quite spacious but the seatings are a bit too crowded...not to mention the myriad of lingering smells which makes the movie watching experience a bit disheartening :).

GSC 1Borneo: Recently opened in one of Asia's biggest hypermall, the 1Borneo, this cinema is so far the best compared to the others, but only because it is relatively new. but in terms of seating arrangements, i have to say it is by far the most comfortable as it offers spacious leg spread (well, spacious than the rest hehe), no funky smells (cos it's new) and no crowded seatings. but since it is somewhat way off the town area, less people tend to avoid this place..which is great for me but bad for their business hahaha. i prefer being in a cinema with less people because...less people means less distraction hehe.

Cathay KK: Even though i like GSC 1Borneo, my all time favourite cinema is still Cathay KK. i dunno why, it's not like i have a history at this cinema or anything like it. but its quaint interior somewhat feels cosy..or homey if i may say so hehe. but there's only one thing i kinda detest...i hate crowded seats, or seats which are too close to each other and there isn't sufficient space for a satisfactory leg spread hahaha.

Growball Cinemax: Located in (i think) KK's most happening mall, the Centrepoint (which i'm still trying to figure out why..), this cinema are packed most of the time. aside from it's tight and crowded seats, i don't really fancy the crowds. basically, my observations has shown that the majority of its patrons are teenagers which has no where else to go to be seen. and their wannabe dress ups can be quite an eye sore...but i think my major problem with the place is that it's always packed!! haha.

okie, so i've assessed the movies for each cinema from Cinema.com.my and i've decided to do my marathon at..jeng jeng jeng...(yeah lame haha)...GSC 1BORNEO!!! and here are the time frames for each movie :):

1) The House Bunny (approx. 1hr 38mins) - 7.00pm

2) Disaster Movie (approx 1hr 27mins) - 8.45pm

3) My Best Friend's Girl (approx. 1hr 42mins) - 11.50pm

now, as you can see, the intervals between the first and second movie are continuous, but the third is a bit of a problem because the second movie would approximately end at 10.05pm and the next show would only start at 11.50pm, so basically there's that nearly two hours gap to fill in...damn it, now the third movie is tentative...geez hehehe.

anyhow, i do intend to have fun at the cinema tonight..so ciao peeps :)

ps: anyone feels like going to the movies tonight? hehehe
