Movies

Hey ya!
There has been alot of movies released in the past few weeks right? some highly anticipated once as well, and i must admit that i have watched almost All of them. I use the term "admit" as i'm almost broke now!! how sad right. I have the feeling you might say " You deserve it!" by the time you finish reading this post, because i know i shouldn't have watched that many movies.
So, below are the Movies i've watched in Theaters since finishing my A Levels exams in June with a lil review from me too:

Dark Knight (i watched it 3 times! so that's why it was the first i recalled, a good movie of course!)
Indiana Jones 4 ( nice! pretty cool scenes and comedy added to it)
Amazing Grace (something different and nice)
The Incredible Hulk (okay i would say, nothing great for me)
Hancock (some funny parts, stupid story)
Doomsday(crap movie, certain parts were funny, otherwise, a waste of time)
Sex and the city (was a good movie, funny too)
Red Cliff: part 1 (yes, i watched it! even though it was Chinese!)
Wanted (An Okay movie, a lil exaggerated though)
Kung Fu Panda (funny! but a 'lil' boring la)
Get Smart (lame at times, but funny most of the times!!)
(it took me quite a while to recall all the movies i watched to list it down..)
and as you might have noticed, I'm a guy who takes comedy seriously. I love movies loaded with humour even if it is not entirely based on comedy.

Yeap, that was alot of money as you can see....thank god i was a student, otherwise even more money out of pocket...
So a lil maths, that above is 11 movies, and i watched Dark Knight 3 times, so thats a total of 13 visits to the Theatre. 13 movies multiplied by RM 7 average ticket, RM91!!! and considering the fact that i bought concessionaires for some movies, thats alot of money!!! why did i spend so much you ask? i have no idea myself...sigh
But WAIT! Now come to think of it, it was actually worth it!! The fun i had with friends on the outings, is just priceless and i seriously mean it- Awesome fun!. That'd actually be my definition of Holidays. Ultimate fun with the People you love; Friends and Family.

Since i watched Dark Knight 3 times, let me talk on that a little. First watching, with a gang of 'chettis' at Mid Valley, then secondly with college mates at Pavilion, and the Thirdly with local boys at Mid Valley. The first and second viewing was almost back to back. First Dark Knight was very confusing for me, as i believe it was due to the seating, 5th row from the screen in a BIG cinema in MV and right at the side with some big size guy next to me whom i don't know-Stranger. Came out of the cinema and criticized the movie like nuts.
So i carried this conception of it being a hopeless movie for my second viewing, and i didn't enjoy it at all. I wanted to leave the cinema- Had this thought so many times, but there were ppl around me, so it was hard to do so (being tall). I couldn't even go out to get popcorn or a drink. sigh, Torture it was. But this 2nd viewing made me understand almost everything and everything made sense to me-Finally.
Then the 3rd viewing, i Enjoyed it. Yeap, it was great! didnt feel like leaving the cinema At all! haha. weird hah? i know... =p
(Owh, i felt my Third viewing had the best sound system. Mid Valley Medium sized Theater. The one in pavilion wasn't too good)












Owh
, and a tribute to Heath Ledger for playing an Awesome Joker! Respect and R.I.P. You deserve an Oscar!















Moving on, the various company i had for each and every movie certainly kept me up and spirited for every single movie and outing i went to. Thank god i have loads of awesome friends. Each outing i went, was different from the previous one for sure, thus no monotony, and hence not boring but instead, just Great Fun!

Sides them, i watched quite a number of movies on Astro and DVDs as well as online movies which include Tamil Movies. One thing i haven't stepped into- Hindi Movies, a few people have urged me to get going with Hindi movies and they even recommend the titles too, just that i haven't did it, as I'm too lazy to go find online sites for them as i don't know bout Hindi movies (and moreover its hard to remember the Movie Titles!!! it sounded alien to me when i heard them!)... So thats on my To Do List now- Get going with Hindi Movies

Movies i've yet to catch;
Mummy
Kuselan
Hellboy 2
Casino Royale

Yeah, you got me right, Casino Royale... A Levels was Hectic, always on homework, busy with studying or just catching up on sleep. I failed to watch it, till now! sigh. Thats not the only one, a few more movies as well- big profile movies. Hence Now-Holidays, i made it a point to watch as many movies as i can after finishing my Alevels (which you should have noticed above, based on the long list of movies). Thus, in conclusion, Now, at the end of this post, i don't regret watching that many movies. I Now tell myself, "its a reward, for studying and working so hard in the past year and a half. Good Job!". Finally with this post, i have been able to show that my social life is back into gear, and i Now, Have a Life :)

Till my next post then. Nighty night. Cheers!

PS: Kahtuck, the movies i told you i wanted to watch, The Game Plan and Made Of Honor, I'm watching now. I'm done with Made of Honor, moving on to The Game Plan. See, i kept my word. haha. cheers
