borrowed 3 DVDs from Music Junction to watch over the weekend...was thinking...hey $6 per dvd for 5 days aint that bad...yah i wun get to keep them but so what?! anyway i normally dun watch movies twice. the first feel is always the best. furthermore, the cinema ticket prices are up again! but yet the stupid screens keep getting smaller and smaller ...no logic to really go to cinema now i think unless u want the darkness and the booming sound and echos. haha...
borrowed 2 titles that i always wanted to watch and 1 that i was just curious to watch.
1. Briget jones - the edge of reason
yes! the badly reviewed part 2 of BJ!! heck with the reviews...i had to see it for myself...after all she is cute and so real and that boyfriend of hers...hmm...mark darcy (acted by colin filth..pardon the spelling)...he doesnt look handsome or anything but there is just something special about him. he is a top notch lawyer but super serious and boring ...in a way. but with a heart of gold.
the part 2 wasnt as fresh or funny as the part 1 but i think that is common. this time bridget has a BF! finally...but she feels insecure about the relationship. the movie actually deals with the more settled side of BJ but i guess the masses wanted to see her goof up more. the movie is not without those goofy moments like her ski trip, buying a pregnancy kit using german..haha, taking to her bf on the answering machines and the door intercom at the same time..., staring at him in bed in a silly manner ...rather adorable .... but to follow the success of the first show, the director prob lost some of her ideas and followed the winning formulas from the last show. so a bit made up for some scenes.
the thailand bit was not really needed but one scene was quite meaningful as BJ was complaing to her thai inmates how angry she is with her BF. then the thai girls said, their bfs, make them work the whole day, beat them up, ask for money etc etc...and asked her what nasty things he did to her?...and she could only mumble :er..."fold his underwear in a boring manner "..haha..and he is boring or something...hahah..then she got nothing to say any more and said : yeah, he made me sell drugs too! etc..." so as not to loose face. hugh grant is as usual charming and he continues to have an entertaining and amusing fight with darcy.
overall, ok lah...watchable but dun think there will be part 3.
Now the really hilarious movie was "Harold and Kumar goes to White Castle". This movie is awesome!!! (do i start sounding like some american...hehee)...really one of those movies that will have you launghing out LOUD till your tummy hurts! always wanted to watch this movie as the plot sounds interesting and silly...but u know its still something that i can relate to.
Its really a guy buddy movie...these 2 frens Harold (korean guy) and kumar (indian guy) are room mates. harold is a little uptight and always get bullied in office while kumar is a fun loving happy go lucky kind of guy who hates to comply to his parents wishes for him to be a doctor.
one night while they were watching TV and smoking some pot (i think), this White Castle ad came out (burger joint) and they suddenly craved for it like crazy!!! the prob is the nearest white castle is quite a distance away..so they drove off to find white castle but inbetween, they met with unexpected and crazy adventures along the way!! all in one night!! its just hilarious!!! they actually took a ride on a cheetah along the highway!! haha and one part they stole these hooligans (who always bully them) truck like vehicle to continue their trip, to their surprised the Cds in side were like "baby baby" by amy grant and hold on by Wilson Philips!! haha i couldnt stop lauging when 2 of them started singing along to the cheesy "Hold On" with a lot of feelings too! esp the chorus! haha
another really funny part was when a staff at another buger joint went bersek at the drive in counter as they were trying to order their food. he just went crazy and started swearing like mad!
along the way there are many sterotype jokes on asians and blacks ...but really just humourous.
its really been a long time since a movie can make me laugh like that.
i think a lot will agree, the movies nowadys are hardly memorable or that entertaining as before. this is really a simple movie but lots of crazy ideas and fun. just like those fun movies from the 80s.
sometimes, we can really do without the big budget and packaging.
the last movie i borrowed was suprise surprise : Mean Girls....sigh,,yah...one of those current teenage crap movies. i was curious what is exactly the hype about lindsey lohan..(spelling)...
anyway, its ok lah...talks about this generation high school and all...not exactly mean as i thot...more like fluff. dun borrow it unless u wanna watch some high school girls prancing about. the story is real weak too, so is the romance interest.
