Fanboys

Fanboys is quite entertaining B-grade Kumar goes to white castle kinda of movie but with a more specific theme. Set in the 90s where a group of Star Wars fanatic friends embark on their journey to the Skywalker Ranch to catch Episode 1 months before the premiere. Nobody cares about the plot when your movie name is Fanboys but the cause was because Linus was cancer stricken.

So off they go ... Eric, Linus, Hutch and Windows. For apparent reason, this nerd character was named windows. But he was the one who gets the girl, Zoe, the electric girl from Heroes. It is a 90 mins show, so along the way ... quite enough stuff to keep the mood going. And also windows soughted help from some online friend who seemingly knows how to get into the skywalker ranch.

And hutch did a detour to square off with a bunch of star treks fans. Fight broke out as insults hurls in both directions, but saying "Hans solo is a bitch" ignited it all. They escaped but the hutch van broke down and gotten some help a chief from a gay bar. Van was fixed so off they go but windows online friend who was suppose to be a cross between sarah michelle gellar and janeane garofalo ... was actually a 10 year old kid. Her uncle came to bash them up ... but believed them after they answered his "10 years series" star war fans questions.

So they were told to go to Vegas to meet this guy who will gave them the stuff they need to get into the ranch. They did ... but not before going to the police station. Zoe bailed them out and followed them to Vegas. They got their stuff, met some escorts and got blackmailed by a star war fanatic gangster .... and the star treks fan were also there ... Even the gangster cannot stand "No one calls Hans Solo a bitch"

They go to the ranch ... went in ... went awe with the star wars items ... got caught. But were let off after answering some "10 years series" questions again ... but these time all kinds of sex questions went in ... it is NC16. So only linus got to watch the movie ... and he passed away along the journey back. 7/10

WatchMen

It was a struggle to watch this. At almost 3 hours and with an on and off low tone coarse voice narration, it didn't help. Based on the 12 parts DC comics, don't think the movie will be a hit with the mass. Story revolved around a doomsday clock, which was permanently set 5 minutes before midnight. But actually, the doomsday is about the impending war between US and Soviets.

Then it added another layer of mystery when one of the costumed superheroes was killed, the comedian. This sparked off the whole movie and followed by the world longest starting credit, really getting on my nerves. Since he was killed at the beginning, he appeared through the movie in flashbacks.

But even those alive ones, also flashbacks, I though I was watching LOST. Rorschach, the mask hero started to investigate, he wore a mask somehow have ink blots shifting around. He tried to warn Nite Owl, Dr Manhattan and Silk Spectre. Dr Manhattan seems to be the only one having super powers due to a freak accident. He donned a blue skin and can disintegrate anything, even himself. Silk Spectre was his love but left him when found out he seems to be losing his human touch.

She went to Nite Owl and stayed with him. As Rorschach digged deeper, he found himself being setup and thrown into prisons. NO and SS got him out and they found out, all these seems to be the doing of Ozymandias, another hero. He did all these, even causing Dr M to leave for Mars.

His plan was to develop a infinite source of energy which he succeeded. The rest found out but was too late as he already activated the detonation throughout the world but his main objective was to avoid the war between US and Soviet which he succeeded as the world now is united against Dr M. The world thought these energy explosions was his doing.

Dr M agreed to keep quiet but Rorschach didn't, so he disintegrated him. 6/10

三月七日, 星期六, 晴

又是一个工作的周末, 希望这次比较顺利. 刚看完 WatchMen, 有一点失望, 还该说是期望太高. It was just too dark, too much talking, too boring narration, too much flashback, too much too. Life 给了两颗星, 是乎给多了, 差不多三小时的戏, just too heavy on a friday night, after losing so much neurons at work.

The thai horror is opening next week, looks quite promising. The damn chronic cough is back, it always stays for quite a while. 嗨, 这咳嗽几时才走, I can't eat my ice creams, can't sing and play my keyboard, 总的来说， please go away.

Started on last season of Prison Break, quite intriguing but getting more impossible as it goes along, Michael just too smart. And Sarah is back to make Michael happy or motivate him or even worse, to become a liability ?
