so i've watched whole bunch of movies during the wkend (yesterday and today), a brief review:
- 28 days later - i'm not sure if it ever make it to HK theatre? anyway, i know it's a "scary" movie and about this virus / zombie thingy - well, as the 2nd one - 28 wks later will be in theater soon so wonder if i should chk it out. Well, this one, i mean, the beginning is great, i mean, it really captures the audiences' attention - and the contrast of the emptyhowever as the story goes the story line gets weaker and weaker and eventually lose the audience's attention (er.. that is me)... hahahaa... my conclusion is that "people just do stupid things in scary movies" (i actually have to "fast forward" some parts)...
I don't think i'll go to the theater for 28 wks later - i'm really not into these type of zombie thingy - maybe b/c this biohazard / virus thing really scary me? anyway, i figure it's just not my cup of tea XD one thing i would like to bring up though - the main character in 28 days later is Cillian Murphy - i kept thinking his face is familiar - no wonder - he's the same guy from Sunshine (my previous review here) - unbelievable - one GOOD thing i've to say about sunshine's director is the right choice of main character - let me tell u, this cillian guy is just a FREAK weirdo - i'm not sure if he's just a GREAT actor or he's just acting himself - he's just SCARY (and like to expose himself - either half naked OR completely loh!!!!!!just a weirdo i guess - Yesterday Once More 龍鳳鬥 - one of my favorite HK movies, rerun on TVB - i know i know, it's an old movie, and many of you may not think it's anything special, but i still like the movie a lot - the way they put Andy Lau and Sammi together is just - girls "must buy" formula.. hahahahahaha
- Pirates of theToo bad won't have a chance to see him anymore, oh well... just too bad

'28 days later' DVD. it's a pass-time movie. and it's so americanized (only half of the country was having issue anyway). i will not watch "28 weeks later". sometimes i think some investors are just so eager to help the movie industry --- why would a person even invest in a sequel movie as this one? puzzling ... 'pirates of the carribbean' - a total entertaining movie ... actually i was bored when captain Jack Sparrow became/acted as the chief of a tribe (?!) and later was being handled ... unsure why this 'side story' was needed. also the fighting scene on the beach is fun! :) anyway ... as johnny depp said to the media, "if the script is funny and entertainment, i don't mind working in the pirate movie". plus i like johnny depp because he could be in highly commercial movies or highly artistic/sundance level film.
as a side note from an article on the Pirates movies:
Depp, unlike almost any other star of past or present, is able to move back and forth between big commercial fare like “Pirates” and more personal and arty movies. That is because Depp created a character that lives above and beyond who he is in reality. A top movie distributor and exhibitor in Japan recently made the point to Variety (2/11/07) that “Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow is popular, not Johnny Depp per se.”
wait, i think 28 days later setting is in UK (instead of US boh)?
1 more point - i do agree that Depp is a very good actor - i really think Jack Sparrow > than Johnny Depp himself, if u know what i mean (instead of remembering "William Tuner > Orlando Bloom)
but wait - i guess it doesn't matter whenever it comes to CUTE GUYS!
wakakkakakaa
yeah 28 days later was set in UK. believe it or not. I actually liked the movie. As a triller, I think it did it tricks, though jasper disagrees with me.
The Pirates series are quite entertaining... but then aghrrr... I dunno... lacking a little bit of depth, especially the 2nd one. a little darker as well.
oh no!!! it's so embarrassing that i was ACTUALLY thinking abt the movie "day after tomorrow" !! :( yeah .. 28 days later's story occured in UK. but i don't like the 'zombie' type movie ... i won't go watch "28 weeks later" ... ... i really hope that there will NOT be a "28 years later" sequel.
oh i watched day after tmr too... well, i don't like that (just US loh)...
i guess i just don't like disaster in general - they're just too "real" :P
龍鳳鬥 - very good movie; tears at the end...
28 Weeks - zzzzz
Pirates - Never a Johnny Depp fan so didn't bother to watch it.
The Day After Tomorrow - too unrealistic but as a scientific fan myself it was an okay movie that's worth watching for $4 ;-)
I watched "28 days later " in theater, so I am not going to watch "28 weeks later" in theater again, it would have no surprise for me to watch the similar story again.
Don't miss the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End". It is on shown today.
- the movie will keep you in the theater for 3 hours, be prepared.
