The God of Hollywood must have been visiting our family lately for I watched 3 movies in a week!
After hubby and Mika went to watch Speed Racer last Sunday, it was my turn to take Mika to see Narnia - Prince Caspian at XXI PIM 2 on Tuesday. Well, actually I was the one who want to watch Narnia for CS Lewis’s Narnia Chronicles has always been my favorite books regardless of the one particular religion propaganda emanated from each and every books. Mika just happened to have watched and liked the first Narnia movie so he tagged a long…hehehe…
We arrived an hour before the counter was open. Mika was restless and always want to queue up right away. Being a paranoid to the bones, I asked him to wait at the Cafe near the door and he pouted for an hour. And a minute before my ears grew tired of his whining and I was ready to snap, the door was opened! Thank God! We raced to the counter and another series of whining continued until we had the ticket. And afterwards, he refused to have lunch, whining to enter the Cinema. Alamak! This will be a 2.5 hours movie! I managed to make my self deaf to his constant whining. Anyway, the movie was really good and entertaining. We had a good laugh to see the talking badger and bears. And all the myth creatures…the centaurs, minotaurs, faun and else…they all are creatures of my childhood. It was good to see them alive. We had very late lunch after that at ChopStix where Mika talking endlessly and excitedly about the movie. Its worth every minute of whining session.
And the day after, hubby took me to watch Forbidden Kingdom at PIM 1. Although it was entertaining but it was not as good as I had imagine. Having Jet Lee and Jackie Chan in one movie really did not help the poor and cliche scenario. Had it been less romance and more into the Sun Go Kong legend, I am sure the movie will really bring the two big star’s talent. And why one earth should there be a Caucasian hero? I would never understand. He is so out of place. The only good thing about the movie is only the fighting episodes. Other than that it sucks.
And again on Friday, hubby took me to watch Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystall Skull. I love every minute of it! I thought at first the movie will be a bit over fetch as Harrison Ford supposed to be very old eh senior! But no, Steven Spielberg took advantage the age factor and created altogether a very catching movie. It was our kind of movie and I don’t want to spill the beans too much here. For those who have not watch, I strongly recommend you to watch it. You will never regret it.
And now, if you excuse me…I have house cleaning on progress here.
