So, another outdated post again.

So, finally there are some movies worth watching on the cinema again. Thank god! It’s like seasonal isn’t it? There’s a season of really bad movies and then there’s the season (now) where all the exciting movies will play back-to-back on screen. Go figure. I shall think that the next few weeks will be spent haunting the cineplex. Wtf i have no life.

So, last weekend we managed to grab tickets for Angels & Demons which was a miracle because KidCheng reserved 4 tickets for us via online but she forgot to pick the seats… yeah like wtf right? Who would go through the trouble booking a ticket but not pick the seats right?

So, instead of going all the way to the cineplex and ending up seating on the front row (trust me, i’ve been there and it was awful), and because i’m really smart, i sent KidCheng and McBun all the way there to check first. Ah ha! I told you i’m smart right?! And because i’ve got brains (don’t roll your eyes, i could go on forever), we got to select really good seats. The cinema was really crowded you know.
 

So, Angels & Demons was awesome… ok, not really that awesome coz i think the book is way much better. I’m a Dan Brown fan – i read all his books ok. His a genius. I wish i could come up with twists and turns in a story like him. Anyway, A&D was much, much better than Da Vinci Code. I read the book ages ago and i kind of only remember only bits and pieces of the story which is a good thing coz the expectation is less. But the movie would have been better if it focused more on the torturing of the 4 preferatis as in the book. The torturing scene should have gotten more on-screen time. It would have made a bigger impact don’t you agree? I am a sadist. I love horror. Wtf.
 

Nah, the summary:-
 

Despite his notorious relationship with the Church, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is once again called upon to decipher the clues to a catastrophic conspiracy. The Pope has died, and before conclave can begin to determine his successor, the four preferitti (primary hopefuls for the papacy) are kidnapped. An ominous threat of their hourly demise, along with the complete annihilation of Vatican City, is issued as an elaborate revenge scheme for a persecuted group known as the Illuminati. With their meager time limit steadily counting down, Langdon, accompanied by beautiful physicist Vittoria Vetra, must travel throughout Rome to unravel the carefully hidden signs that will lead them to a terrifying adversary, a harrowing discovery, and the shocking truth.

So, like what i told everyone who watched Da Vinci Code, Tom Hanks so doesn’t look like a Professor Langdon. I always envisioned Professor Langdon looking more like the Aragorn guy in Lord of the Ring… what’s his name again? Yes, Viggo Mortensen. He’ll make a more convincing professor. Handsome too :P.

Come on, who would you choose?

So, Ewan McGregor really shouldn’t act. Unless it’s a comedy. He is so unconvincing as the Camerlengo ok. Everyone could have guessed he was the villain even from the beginning. Omg, i can’t forget the scene where he framed Commander Richter and branded his own hairy chest with the burning iron. It was so fake i couldn’t help laughing in the cinema. Mcgregor should stick to road trips and travel writing.

So, i am like so in love with Pierfrancesco Favino (Inspector Olivetti in A&D). I was like “Shit! Why he get killed so fast?!!!” when he got shot. Italian guys are so dreamy. Geez… which reminds me of the Italian couple that went tracking with us at Chiang Mai. The guy was so… *drool*.
 

So, if i’m a lesbian i would express my undying love to Ayelet Zurer. She’s so gorgeous. Lucky Tom Hanks. But i’m not a lesbian, so i’ll just stay contented being envious of her gorgeousness. I can’t believe she’s 40! I wanna look like that when i hit 40.

These should go on my wall for inspiration. LOL.
 

So, Angels & Demons is an enjoyable thriller.
So, go watch it if you haven’t.
So, now there’s Night at the Museum 2, Alien Vs. Monster, Terminator (i just want to watch Christian Bale ok), Transformer, Harry Porter and i forgot what to look forward to. I think i’ll go rent a camping spot at the cineplex.
