Inkhearted

I have not been to the cinemas for quite awhile, missing movies like Bedtime Stories, Ip Man, The Spirit and etc. Finally I got a chance to re-enter the cinema, with few friends of mine: Loky, yCheong, and lovely Biugor. I got to say, the movie is so so so overrated. BTW, its "Inkheart" we watched. (Spoiler ahead!)

The show started with quite an interesting opening:
Mo, a father, who didn't realize he was gifted the talent (to bring out the characters from any books if he reads them out loud) mistakenly summoned a few villains from a book, and, as return, his wife was swept into the book. Ha!

Brendan Fraser doesn't look like a father! His always-the-same-expression was killing me! Grr.. go back to the jungle, George!

Then the daughter grew up after 9 years of hunting for another copy of the same book (which I don't understand why:"was it necessary?" after the ending later) because the original copy was burnt or something. (I barely remember) Then they finally found one, and here came the crisis: villains appeared, grabbed the book and threatened the two of them to summon for wealth and fortune, etc etc. Then I fell asleep. Story continues, bad people's bad intention got badder, good people's big plan to rescue the hostage, and eventually the hero saved the day! Yaiy! Finally end!

The ending was kinda lame because it said the daughter saved the day by reading out the ending she wanted as she was writing it on her hand. WTF? If she can do that at the very beginning, what's the point looking for another COPIES (they found 3! All destroyed.)

The story is not really as excited as it was shown on tv commercial/ trailer/ preview. Its kinda sucks. Haha. But its not that bad due to some jokes and funny characters in the middle here and there.

Helen Mirren: I'm not sure why was she even in that movie. But she was fun to watch.


Farid: One of the characters from Tales of the Arabian Nights who happened to be summoned by Mo.
Overall, its a crappy show. Don't Watch it if you are fans of "adventurous" kinda movies. I will rate it a D+.

Umm. song for today will be:
You Complete Me - Keyshia Cole (Its new!)

Owh and check out the new video of Leona Lewis - I Will Be! Loves it!
Enjoy the CNY holz y'all!

UPDATES: On 2nd thought, its quite an interesting movie if they summoned Edward Cullen!
