Still have not watch Kung Fu Panda. Gawd it’s so difficult when everyone else too wants to watch the chubby panda doing the kung fu dance. Come on, move over and let me get a peek eye. It better still be on cinema this coming weekend. I hate reserving tickets.

Here are the movies i ended up watching. Beware this is a long one.

Get Smart

It’s a film adaptation of a 1960s spy parody TV series by the same name. Anne Hathaway is hot. Not the conventional beauty but she’s hot. Love her. Hate Steve Carell. He’s like an annoying bug i wish he’d get squashed.
 


Get Smart
 

The movie is not so bad if you can numb your brain circuit a little. The movie tagline “Saving The World. And Loving It” is perfect coz both secret agents (Hathaway and Carell) seems to be enjoying their mission immensely despite the idiotic ridiculous dangers involved.

By the way, i’m beginning to really appreciate Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock.

Nanny Diaries
 


The Nanny Diaries
 

Scarlett Johansson is so meaty chubby in the movie. She plays the nanny to a small boy from an elite family. The story tells of her everyday disaster being a nanny. She’s great but the movie is so miserably dull and boring. I almost walked out after the first half of the show.

Wanted

Wow! This is one complicated movie. Not because of the plot but because i have mix feelings about this show.
 


 

Wanted
 

First of all, i love watching James McAvoy ever since i’ve watched Atonement. He’s the lead in Wanted and that’s the reason i bought the tickets. I was a little confused because in Atonement, he had a very heavy Scottish accent but in Wanted he’s all American. He, by the way is from Glasgow, Scotland.
 


Mr. Tumnus

If you didn’t know he is also Mr. Tumnus in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. *way cool!

Note to myself: To dig out ALL of James McAvoy’s movies.

Wanted tells a tale of Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy), an accountant living a boring humdrum life and everyone loves to bully him because he’s weak. He suffers from severe anxiety attacks. I’m not going to spoil it for you so all i’ll say is Wesley later met with Fox (Angelina Jolie) and later in turn of events he turned into an A class assassin.

The cinematography is something different. The camera wizardry is wonderful. Bravo! I think i had anxiety attack watching Wesley (McAvoy) having his anxiety episodes. It made me really dizzy on the first quarter of the show. And who would have thought that a curved bullet would look that good on the screen.


Foxy lady
 

However the story line is unbelievable and really… erm… cheesy and… erm… if i may, stupid. Angelina Jolie is… well… Angelina Jolie. She’s the hot wall flower. I think her lines were not more than 20 in the movie. All she did was play demure, pout and raise her eyebrows. McAvoy on the other hand gave a blardy good performance. He surprisingly kicks arse in action movies. Loved the scene where he burst into the Fraternity G.I Joe-mode with 2 guns in is hands.
 


Kick arse
 

Nevertheless, it’s worth a watch coz the movie have some darn memorable lines. You’ve got to watch it to know what i mean. I think you’ll love the part where he told his woman boss to f*ck herself. And oh, you’ve got to watch out for the closing speech by Wesley (McAvoy). Something that goes like “I took control of my life… what did you do?”. It’s definitely a wake up call.
