Movie Marathon

I suddenly have the energy to write another entry in less than 24 hrs...that's quite a feat...or maybe coz the mrs are not dominating the thinkpad....maybe...

Anyways..last weekend...i mean last last weekend we had a Queen's Bday on monday so it was a pretty long weekend..god save the queen!! and usually the tv shows here are pretty much crap so i decided to watch one movie after another...i end up watching 13 movies in total..averaging 4 movies a day..not that bad though....do note i was trying to watch as much as comedy as possible even if its crap...i just wanna relax and and enjoy less serious- horror - thriller movie...dun want to watch thinking movie for the time being........

1. 21 - its not the tv series 21 jump street...but a movie abt blackjack con artist...based on a true story..not that bad coz i like watching kevin spacey....

2. Be kind rewind - Jack black stars in this movie...still dun like jack black but its kinda funny

3. Chaos Theory - A superb drama/comedy abt chaos....i just wanna watch Emily Mortimer since i watch her performance in Lars and the real girls...she's cool

4. Failure to Launch - suppose to be a funny movie..but i kinda lost it...

5. Jumper - even Samuel L Jackson can't save this movie...stay away.....utter disappointment...young Darth Vader just can't act

6. Street Kings - Keanu reeves just getting older in this movie...at least u got forest whittaker and Dr House as the saving grace

7. The Darjeeling Limited - I dun get this movie..i dunno why...not that funny..but it does inspire me to do KL - Spore via Senandung Malam train...

8. HeartBreak Kid - The Farrelly brothers going at it again but failed miserably....but as usual I like Michelle Monaghan..she's cute...hehehe

9. The Bucket List - meh....so so comedy...

10. The Spiderwick Chronicles - i thot it would be like Narnia or Harry Potter ..but i put too much expectation on it.....Mary Louise Parker took a back seat in this movie compared to her Weeds tv series...loved that series though

11. Vantage Point - some critics hate this one coz the premise of the movie was the different view of several character within the span of 23 minutes..sorta rewind fast forward rewind thingy. it does get tiring but something different than the rest

12. The Forbidden Kingdom - i was expecting pure kung fu movie from HK but instead it came from Hollywood...really waste of talent

13. The Man From Earth - ....I highly recommend this movie to anyone who liked 12 Angry Men - a masterpiece where the movie location was only in 1 place...the jury room....i always wondered can anybody come up with a movie using only 1 location...and this movie delivered with a simplistic prop...the living room...its a sci fi movie mind you...no CGI..no monster/space ship and laser shoot em up..just pure intellectual conversation between professors abt Ice Age man......yes...its a thinking movie..but it was mind numbingly entertaining....it will just blow ur mind away......a very good sci fi movie....
