The Dark Knight

Hi All,

Last weekend, Azlina and I went for a movie day organised by BT Frontline (Asia’s premier IT services company). All employees were invited. I got two tickets and one combo set, which was two drinks and a big bag of sweet popcorn. Anyway, the popcorn was already half finished before the movie started.. But hey, what else is new right :)

The movie we got invited to was The Dark Knight. The second Batman movie since Batman Begins. For me, it was a pleasant surprise that the movie lasted 2.5 hours. That was more than nice.

In The Dark Knight, two villains are introduced. “Two-Face” and “The Joker”. I must say that both characters were very well played and very similar to the comics we used to watch. Especially “The Joker” who was played by the late Heath Ledger was very good. And yes, compared to his other roles in other films, this was his best role.

Before I watched the movie, I used to believe that the opinion of this being his best role was just said because he passed away. But indeed, this was his best role and I will really miss such a great actor for his contributions to the film industry.

To tell you the truth, I did not even know it was Heath Ledger as he is almost unrecognizable in this role. I thought “cool Jack Nicholson is back” because he sounded exactly like him! Ok, silly mistake. But overall great movie and I cannot wait for the next one :)

[•REC] & P2

Yesterday was our family movie day! And this time the theme was HORROR! The movies we watched were [REC] (2007) and P2 (2008).

[REC] is a must watch! 4 of 5 stars! It is about a local Spanish TV station that is doing a midnight reality TV cover. This time they cover a fire station and follow firemen around to see how they do their jobs. So the night starts quite normal and quietly until they receive a distress call from a small apartment building in the middle of town. Anyway, I’m not that good in explaining these kind of movies… If you like horror movies….. watch this one!! And leave a comment when you’re done… Don’t forget to hold on to your seat! ;)

P2 is a movie that will get a 3 out of 5 stars from me. It is an overall good movie. Original storyline. It  is about what women fear most.. after late night of work, alone in the parking garage. I hope one thing all women will learn is.. that it is better to go home early and work from home then to stay in the office till late.
