back... with movie reviews

missed me? shame on you if u didn't. just goes to show tt u're not my loyal supporter. anyways, reason for my disappearance boils down to these 3 things: 1) too bz (wat's new right?), 2) went for a short holiday to TH recently and 3) too lazy - hard to get the momentum going again to blog, especially since it seems like i'm only talking to myself. ah well, so be it. i'm not expecting a grand audience when i started this blog. just wanted a place to rave n rant. so watever.

managed to catch 3 new movies the past few days. wat a rarity indeed. all 3 shows - shrek 3, ocean's thirteen and fantastic four: the rise of the silver surfer - were pretty good i must say, walked out feeling tt e moolas were well spent. trust me, i've seen so many crap shows where i walked out wishing tt i wasn't so easily conned into watching them in e first place.

bravo for shrek 3! with eddie murphy as the voiceover for donkey, tt's all u need to make good entertainment. oooh, i loved e ever so cool puss in boots voiced by antonio bandares too. simply so in character with the suaveness of zoro. storyline was so-so - villians trying to make a claim on all tt they've lost out to e goody2shoes. typical 'happily ever after' ending again but hey what do u expect? it's a kids show lah. still it's no easy feat making yet another successful continuation from the first shrek hit. i wonder wat's next? villans attacking the kids n taking them hostage? hmm anything's possible in fairy land far far away. on e whole, 3.5 out of 5 stars.

ocean's thirteen. much better than twelve which i don't have the slightest recollection of. uh hur, i tot it was tt bad. i guessed it was bcos i had pretty high expectations considering the fact tt i was kept at e edge of my seat for eleven. bloody cool hiest. coolest i've ever seen/read/imagined. whoever came up with tt idea should have tried n tested it out for himself instead. hehe, then we will see the liner 'based on a true story' in the film. how cool is tt? ok, so thirteen was about revenge n again it involved casinos and high stakes. kinda different this time round though. it was more to crush someone than just a robbery hiest per se. only stealing bit were for e diamonds. ok shan't give anything away. go watch it. not bad. i give it 4 out of 5 stars.

lastly, fantastic 4: rise of the silver surfer which i just caught lk 2 hrs ago. hmm movie was kinda short. ending was slightly undramatic and duh. guess it couldn't be helped as you're talking about a damn incredible super-duper villian here where there was nothing really that could be done. the visual effects made up for the lack of the 'zing' i guess. if u're not much of an effects and action fan, then keep away, could be kinda blah and lame for you. i like my marvel comic movies though so i simply had to watch it. but i'm giving it only 3 out of 5 stars. abit generous lah but hey, i like jessica alba too. nice hot babe. don't get much of a chance to see her va-va-voomness in this installment though. a pity for the boys.

k think it'll b awhile b4 i catch another movie. hopefully not though as there r many good ones tt are coming up like transformers(!), disney's ratatouille (nvr tot i wld say this after my 1 ghastly encounter w a rat tt ran over my foot - wat a darn cute rat!), harry potter and the order of the phoenix, etc etc. keep it rolling man!
