Death Race

went to watch this movie with Jeremy, Kelvin, and Mars at Cathay. Based on ratings on the net, we decided to watch this and hoping that it would not be a let-down such as The Mummy. Well, we got our money's worth! XD

This movie is simply amazing. The racing is realistic, the fighting/battle scenes are jaw-dropping, the girls are hot, and there are lots and lots of blood/violence. A really action-packed movie that can keep you glued to your seats for the entire length of the show. The plot proceeds at just the right pace and no unneccessary parts were seen at all in the movie.

But the thumbs up from me will be Jason Statham's amazing acting and of course...the hot (she's really hot) and beautiful Natalie Martinez. I'd personally rate this movie a 5/5.

Jason Statham as "Jensen Ames"

Natalie Martinez as "Case"

Natalie Martinez FTW :p

Lunch + Shaolin Girl + Burger King

Finally got to go out today. Jeremy picked me up from my place around noon and we went over to Marcel's place to get him. But the lame ass was in his room and his phone wasn't on. We tried to spam phonecalls, the car horn, and the doorbell but there was no response. Jer decided to just have lunch without him while waiting for his call. Supposed to go to Lintas for Sang Nyuk Mien but Jer was on the wrong lane so at the end we had to eat at Foh Sang.

Gay Mars called about an hour later so we went to get him and headed off to CPS. Spent some time at Fun Square. Jer was busy playing some DJ and drum game while Mars and I were setting eyes on this sniper game lol. We even tried this game that uses a camera. The idea is to snap a picture from a moving clip. Not as easy as it looks... Later on headed to Growball to watch Shaolin Girl. It's basically a Japanese film that's similar to Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle. Well, that was what we thought...it was different...way different. It sucked that we all gave it a 1/5 rating. The 1 is only for the fact that there were cute Japanese University girls haha. I'd personally give it 2/5 because one of my favorite Japanese actress is starring in it, Kou Shibasaki. No doubt there still were comedic scenes but the movie still sucked. Not only that, the Growball cinema seems worst than before. Weird odour, chairs that sink in, damn...

Mars: "I'm gay"

Watcha' doing Mars?

Fu-yoh...

Voyeur Jer in action

A closer view of what he was snapping

Later on walked around CPS for awhile. Amazing, the whole mall is so hot and filled with 'fan chung's. Decided to evacuate the place asap and headed over to Damai's Burger King for dinner. Is it me or the prices in Burger King are f**kin expensive? Anyway Jer ordered this set that comes with a Soya Bean packet drink. What a weird combination... the thing was that he thought it was ice lemon tea lol. Talked cock as usual and then headed home.

Burger + Soya Bean = absolute no-no

Mars' signature pose

I'll just post some pics from one of other outings earlier this week. Went to KFC for dinner and watched The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Another disappointing movie tsk tsk. To end the day, we stayed up at Mars' place till 2.30am just to talk cock lol.

Finger Lickin' Good (sounds naughty hmmm)

Cheesy Wedges (don't get the wrong idea)

Jer carefully going through his chicken

Red Cliff Part 1

Movie Poster of Red Cliff

Went to watch Red Cliff (赤壁) last night with Ivan. This movie is awesome. I mean, it has to being the highest budget Asian movie to date. Before this I never knew much about the Three Kingdoms or Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I did play a computer game about it many many many many years ago. Who would remember the names of the Warlords and Officers right? That time it was all about leading vast military attacks and planning political strategies to ensure that my kingdom was in tip-top condition.

Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, and Guan Yu as they appear in Koei's Dynasty Warriors

Many years later, KC introduced the game Dynasty Warriors 3 to me on the PS2. I fell in love with the game as it reminded me of the previous games I played on the PC. Familiar names like Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhou Yu, and Zhuge Liang were re-lived in that action hack 'n' slash game.

Movie Poster of Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon

A movie I watched before this was Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon which starred Andy Lau as Zhao ZiLong, or better known as Zhao Yun. I know it wasn't historically accurate but I found the movie so cool. Generals in armor, hadberds in hand, horses galloping to war, it was breathtaking. Ok enough about this movie, back to the post title lol.

Zhao ZiLong at the Battle of Changban

This show focused on the pre-Battle of Red Cliff, the actual Battle of Red Cliff, and post-Battle. How are they gonna fit all these in a 2hr movie? Easy, they had to split it into 2 parts. I won't blog much about the story as you have to watch it for yourself. All I can say is that this movie is uber cool. There were even scenes of the generals/officers doing musou during the battle lol. The actors/actressed played their roles well and Zhao Wei as Sun Shang Xiang added some comedy into the serious plot. Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung both were fantastic as Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu respectively. Oh incase you're wondering, both of them are really important figures for both the Shu and Wu Kingdoms.

Zhou Yu, Zhao ZiLong, Zhuge Liang

Erm I'd recommend this movie for those of you who are really interested in the history of the Three Kingdoms as the famous Battle of Red Cliff is brought to life and also to those of you who are just craving for some random action-packed hack 'n' slash movie. Personally, I feel that this movie is too much to Dynasty Warriors-like. Its just my own two cents but hey, at the end it's all up to you to rate it XD

A battle scene involving a naval ship belonging to Cao Cao

I'd give this movie a 4.5/5. The last 0.5 would be because I felt they should have introduced the characters in-film. Like when Liu Bei appears for the 1s time, they should put a label/legend/side quote or whatever you call it saying: "Liu Bei, Warlord of the Shu Empire" or something like that. It'll be good for those who don't know who's who in the Three Kingdoms.

Lu Su and Zhuge Liang

Part 2 fast come pls
