There were movies I’ve watched which I couldn’t believe I didn’t watch earlier, and then there were movies I regretted sitting through an hour for. I’m suddenly in this movie mood, and trying to watch back all the older good movies I had been missing through the years. I made a whole long list of movies that I shouldn’t miss. But don’t have the list with me now…but off the top of my head, I want to watch, Ocean’s Thirteen, Kingdom of Heaven, Babel, The Prestige, Pride and Prejudice, The Four Feathers…etc.
I just watched I Am Legend, I thought it was only ok. I didn’t know it was a zombie movie! But the most memorable movie I watched recently, which I think was banned in Malaysia, was The Greenstreet Hooligans. It was about English football fans, who formed their own Gangs and likes to fight with their enemy team’s fans. At the opening of the show, I nearly wanted to give the show a miss, as it opened with two gangs fighting, and it was pretty violent, and I hate violent movies! But I gave it a shot anyways, and turned out to be one of my fav shows now. It was just so meaningful, coupled with great acting by Elijah Wood and the other English fella…Not to be missed!
Then there are those shows I really shouldn’t have sat down for 15 min for. Such was the last Jet Li movie, WAR, where he played some gangster fella named Rogue. I sat for 1 hour and I gave up. I am sick and tired of these leather clad gang movies with Jet Li in it, playing some tough kung fu fighting expressionless killer machine dude. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Jet Li in those ancient China era kungfu shows, which made him famous when he was younger. These hollywood flicks are all too similar, one after another. So it gets to be boring after a while. This year, I’ll only watch movies that are really something…if not…well SKIP IT!
