CONNED!

well.. to put it on a nicer note, i got semi-conned.

why you ask? Its just one of the few things that could go wrong when you decide which movie to watch. I bet it happen to you a least once.. when you go to the cinema.. thought that the particular must be good because they semi-cheat you into believing that the movie is good because they the only part they show you in their sneak previous are the good parts in the movie, and sometimes if you're really unlucky, those little bits of sneak preview parts are the only good parts in that movie!! wth right? i second you. When i think of hese things.. many examples of movies that i felt i got cheated on by their sneak previews are bridge to terrabethia(not sure if i spelled it right) .. that movie is a conner! whats with 28 weeks, hide and seek and countless of others. But i must say, once in a while, you do get a truly good money, worth every cent of your 10 bucks, and if its on student id price.. wala! you got yourself a good deal!!

ok.. where was i? oh ya.. back to the semi conned issue. I dont really know how to put this because i just got back from pavillion and watched this particular movie that got me thinking" what am i doing here"? its not very bad.. but its not very good, nor is it an average movie that you can accept and just watch it cuz you already paid for it. Thats why its semi conned. It is those kind of movie that can make you feeeling blah. As in bleh!. Its not as bad as the movie "My mother is a belly dancer" or "When a stranger calls". The latter is a real cheap flick horror movie wannabe! bleh!

Why am i keep strayin away from the topic tonight..? ok.. we shall go back.

This particular movie that i am talking about is none other than "In the name of the King".

In the name of what you say?? Double sigh-s. When you see the poster, one might be expecting something good you know. Dah-la the name also so glamorous.. the title itself creates a certain sense of curiosity... But.. the higher your expectation... you know the rest. Everything was BAD.
Bad actors, bad production, bad script.. and curiosity? .. none! You dont even have to guess what will happen cuz its as easy to predict as in predicting whether a child will take a candy!.

Enough said.

So.. i got semi-conned into spending my saturday watching In the name of what? ..
Haiz.

At least the company was good. :)

I work out some reasons why people would actually watch this movie. Here goes..
1.) You got conned by the poster/title (just like me..)
2.) You're a movie addict. Any new movie that comes by, you just have to watch it. (Like wise here.. :>)
3.) You bought the wrong tickets. Dont laugh.. It does happen.

And if after reading this, you still decide to watch it..
i conclude that you must be rich. (RM10 ONLY MA..u say) Either that, or you just wanna try out to see how bad it is. Not a very smart move, i would say..

Either way.. dont say i didnt warn you.. In fact, you should thank me in return for saving your RM10 bucks! Heck, i watched it for RM12 bucks today! >.< ??

Instead, do channel your RM10 bucks to movies like Rendition instead.. not bad.. not bad..

Upon writing till now, i just realize how long i have blogged about one single lousy movie that i spend my precious saturday on. Hmm.. either the movie really bothered me or i am just plain very "tak han.." :)

Teehehe..

You ruin my interest of watching the muvee... but still I fall under the category of cnt help but to watch it when there're some new muvee released. By the way, I've watched Gabriel and I guess I won't write a long review like what u did coz i dun think i even want to mention a tiny word abt that muvee.. so do save ur 12 bucks if you plan to watch that (coz i watch the sneak preview in Pavillion too which cost me 12 bucks as well)..
Oh yeah, I do update my blog~ The last time i did was on 12 JAN!!! but sad thing it's abt the cancellation of city tour! a lot of stories behind.. but dnt feel like blogging it coz none of it is important 2 me now.. going to UTAR now is like going to a place that I no longer noe... i meant most of the ppl there.. hmm... cnt wait to graduate but still is frighten to graduate actually... very contradicting huh?? hmm.. dilemma... max has truly turn into a monk nowadays.. just had lunch with him today.. well.. i guess i will try to become vegetarian for every lunch like him though i am not committed to the effort to save the world from "dunia kiamat "in 6 yrs time like him though.. lolx..~
