So how's everybody? I took a week leave for EID..fun times. Continued my now 3 years tradition of watching a movie @ the cinema on the 1st of Syawal...this year..The Expendables 2..but I won't just cover that, I watched few more flicks at the cinema and online..during the 1 week break..so here goes.
and...? : This flick is AWESOME! Why it took me so long to watch this one, been reading lots of good stuff bout The Raid. The fight scenes were awesomely choreographed and the level of brutality? fuh up to par to my level of violence I love to watch. And coming from Indonesia? I'm impressed...mucho impressed...as for the plot...well I don't care if there's any...the action is enough to keep me glued to the tv.
and...? : well, it's not as great as the first 2, but it's ok I guess. The only cool and new thing they added for the 3rd installment is the image of the demons infecting the humans..oh and the bride going nuts with the chainsaw...fun times.
and...? : ok truth, I feel asleep around 15 minutes somewhere in the middle of the movie, I was really really tired due to the lack of sleep, but the remaining minutes I was awake I really really enjoyed what I saw...the cameo appearance by the big names were totally awesome and funny (the lines were to die for)..a friend who tag along who isn't big on action flick actually liked Expendables 2 after the movie ends. Few problems though, Jet Li wasn't the flick long and was replaced by an Asian chic who made me go ugh! ..the chic didn't do it for it...and why Van Damne is made as the bad guy...I want him to be in the sequel! But overall movie was a fun ride...now bring in Steven Seagal and let's see how he fares against the other action heroes.
and...? : another flick I've been meaning to watch after reading good reviews bout the flick. It's interesting I'll give em that..and the villain was too awesome, I also like how she tortured her victims..pretty new..and you gotta hear the scream the dudes she kidnapped..freaky shit. The problem I had with the flick?..some plot that really wasn't resolved or handled properly..other than that..kinda cool flick
and...? : this one is still fresh in my head cause I just watched it. I dig the flick..it was cool and slick..and I'm pretty familiar with the subject matter cause I got this colleague who is an avid cyclist (check out his blog and online store)...ANYWAY..I love watching how these bike messengers work..pretty cool..but also I gotta agree they're a menace to society. I've seen one time on youtube (provided by the colleague) a new yorker complaining how the cyclist are a danger to pedestrian..so I guess what was portrayed here is true. Casting was great...JGL delivers another great performance (what can I say 3 name actors normally rules..cough SMG)..Michael Shannon was also good..dude was crazy and looked funny while doing crazy..loved it. That Heroes chic, you know with the bleeding eye power (pfft) did pretty good (hot bod)..of look out for the bike policeman..he was a riot! As for the bike stunts..pretty rad!..my only quiff about the flick is the ending..it felt silly and easy...but seriously cyclist would loveeeeeee this movie..go watch it.
special note : thanks CUZZ eda for the treat! ..also to readers stay awhile for the credits in Premium Rush and watch how dedicated + cool JGL is.
