Moo-Wees

Movies I've watched recently ::

Next :: Warning! Spoilers ahead.

Storyline revolves around Cris Jackson (Nicolas Cage) being gifted with a unique ability to experience what will happen to him 2 minutes ahead of time. Overall, the movie is quite engaging, action packed with a few surprises included here and there (due to his ability), not forgetting to mention, a number of unnecessary scenes as well, bullet dodging, wtf? Additionally, there were some confusion regarding his ability as well, especially the part where multiple instances were created when searching for Liz (Jessica Biel), is he like, supposed to do that cause it actually bends the rules?

The worst had to be the abrupt ending, after such an elaborate and beautifully laid out storyline, because there's no certain answer to what would have really happened. And when Cris said he made a mistake, what exactly is the mistake? Was it because he was only focusing on Liz and instead, should look parallelly at the detonation plot as well? Or something else? It all doesn't make sense!!

Bad ending, bad, bad ending...


Blades Of Glory :: Nothing to spoil

Wickedly funny, slapstick at its best, reminded me a lot on Talladega Nights. But be warned that this might not be everyone's cup of tea, some might be disgusted, in a way or another. Watch how a pretty boy and a macho man, against all odds, perfected the legendary Iron Lotus (I find the video really hillarious). Personally, I prefer Wild Hogs. :)


Spiderman 3 :: Left with loads of doubt

First things first, I find myself paying a-hell-lot-of attention to Kirsten Dunst's front teeths ever since learning that they're weirdly-angled. Lots of character development, on Peter and Mary Jane, how being Spiderman is actually affecting them both. Maybe to a certain extend, a little too much since there we quite a number of characters in this installment, resulting less fighting and web-swinging actions.

And then, there were little things throughout the movie, which didn't make much sense, like when finally the Butler decided the spill the truth. Or the fact that Venom only affected the spider suit, and not Peter. Or why Harry decided to sacrifice himself instead of remotely controlling the Goblin glider. Or why spidey mask must always be removed, and the costume torn, and yet no one recognizes him, with all the camera and recordings.

I can go on, and on, and on, and on...

And what's the point of bringing Gwen into the picture? Also, anyone noticed how tired and gloomy Kirsten looked during interviews for the movie, the makings, the premieres, etc. etc? Its as though she lost interest in the character, if you compare to similar activities for the first installment. Ok, I should stop here and now. Final note, black Spidey, cool!
