Review: Indiana Jones & The Chrystal Skull

I've always been an Indy fan.
I did NOT like this Indy movie.

WTF.
No really.
WTF??????

Who the hell wrote the story line???? Aliens from a different dimension???? After 10 years, THIS is what you come up with??? Are you KIDDING ME???? Who do I direct angry emails to???

Harrison still looks good in the Indy suit at age 65. Stunts were ok lah, considering.
The woman who heads the KGB baddie team reminds me of Edna Mode.
Shia is a fonz wannabe. If that's what he was going for, Good Job! They even worked in a greeser-college boy battle in a cafe, for crying out loud.

All the cliches were worked to the max.
Single parent family, kid - a little difficult, but a good kid at heart... old flame who didn't tell him about the kid... eventually they bond, blah blah blah.

I'm sorry I watched the movie. It left a bad taste in my mouth. Disappointing, to say the least. What were they thinking?????

Review: Prince Caspian

The book was better.

Overall, quite entertaining. They spent so much on CGI, they forgot to cost good actors in. Caspian came off as whiney, overprotected, nieve and sappy. And for some reason, all the Telemarines spoke with European accents. Weren't they supposed to be stranded Brit sailors that somehow found a wormhole into narnia? I mean, they were returned to London, weren't they?

Keynes and Moseley as Peter and Edmund, however, deserve mention, being really Convincing in their protrayal of frustrated teens. Keynes is as dreamy as before, but Moseley is starting to come into his adult features, and me likey. *grin*

The battles & CGI were reminiscent of LOTR, though obviously done on a smaller scale.
For no apparent reason, they decided to throw in a romantic link between Susan and Caspian. *rolls eyes* Unnecessary.

I LOVED Reepicheep, the sabre-weilding mouse. I LOLed when the mice took down soldiers in the tall grass like Velociraptors or those dwarf monsters in The Mummy Returns. What I did *not* know was that Eddie Izzard voiced Reepicheep! As if I didn't love him enough...

Liked it, I did somewhat. Loved it as much as Narnia 1, I did not. Watch it again, I wouldn't. Worth the price of a ticket? I suppose so. Just don't read the book, don't compare it to LORT, and check your expectations at the door.

Review: Iron Man

For it's first self-financed movie, Marvel has done marvelously. (Bad bad bad, I know, but I couldn't resist!) It had the same vibe of Batman Begins. Raw. Back-to-basics. Messy. In a good way. *grin*

Robert Downey Jr. Whodathunkit?? It was a surprisingly good cast though! Someone had the vision & balls to do it. Quite a good fit! Speking of fit, he *so* is. He's obviously been to the gym a few times. On behalf of all who so appreciated that torso, Thank you, Mr. Downey. *drool*

I couldn't place Bridges till later, but the minute he opened his mouth, I knew I knew him. I don't think I've ever seen him as a badie, but he made a reasonably convincing one! Paltrow fit, but was negligible. I didn't even bother to find out who the bald man was - he was just a lackey after all. Cannon fodder.

Over all, I really enjoyed myself. Many things were broken in the making of this movie. Entertaining, to say the least! Definitely worth the price of a ticket!

Friend of mine heard this recently on a flight from Shenzhen to Qingtao by China Southern Airlines. Shouldn't laugh really, but I did.

'Good afternoon, Ladies and the German. This is your cheap purser Wang Lui speaking.

On behalf of China Sudden Airlines, I would like to welcome you on board our Bowling 737 from Shenzhen to Qingtao. Members of my crew speak Chinese and other languages that you do not know.

Meanwhile, the airkwaft is going to fry. Peace sit upright and keep you belt tightly fastened until dinner is served at five dirty p.m. Hope you would enjoy your fright with us. Funk kill.'

Guillermo Vargas Habacuc Redux

This website seems to indicate that Habacuc is innocent of all accusations.

Ok, he *did* chain up a dog, but it was *made* to look starving and was actually well fed behind the scenes. And the dog didn't die, it escaped.

*Ponder* I don't know...

I hope, for the sake of my belief in humanity, that this report is true. The amount of negative energy I was sending Habacuc's way is not funny!

Guillermo Vargas Habacuc

This disgusting excuse for a human being, tied a dog up in a gallery, starved it to death, and called it art.

Apparently, on the wall near the dog, the title of the piece was written out in DOG FOOD.

His statement:
"Hello everyone. My name is Guillermo Habacuc Vargas. I am 50 years old and an artist. Recently, I have been critisized for my work titled "Eres lo que lees", which features a dog named Nativity. The purpose of the work was not to cause any type of infliction on the poor, innocent creature, but rather to illustrate a point. In my home city of San Jose, Costa Rica, tens of thousands of stray dogs starve and die of illness each year in the streets and no one pays them a second thought."

My statement:
Eat shit & die.

The prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American decided that the 'installation' was actually art, so the piece of shit has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the biennial of 2008.

You gotta be fucking kidding me.

I wanna know where I can find the petition to make HIM tie HIMSELF to a rope & starve to death.
