oh my gosh! day off at last! woohoo! movie marathon night! hehe! i saw gangs of new york last sunday and the other day (or was it yesterday?) the wedding date...

the first was really awesome. well, it wasn't the heart-pounding suspense and epicly dramatic kind of leo movie that i liked, but it had a kick-ass ending and that was enoughÜ it was kinda boring on some points, but it survives. the beginning was a bit dragging, especially if you know how it's gonna turn out. i actually read an alternate ending to it maybe a few months after it was released, and it had amsterdam dying and being buried in the cemetery. but they obviously changed that. the love, or should i say sex scenes were cute. but they didn't really have the spark or chemistry like other couples do... (hint: it's the last movie i'm gonna critique) 3 out of 5 stars.


the wedding date was interesting. dermot mulroney was naked most of the time and he has a cute butt ;) but aside from the nakedness and cutsie scenes, it was bland really, with a predictable ending. trying hard to be a four weddings and a funeral with edge but falling by the wayside.

resident evil i saw yesterday (sept. 22) and it was gross. but the way it was shot, it caught me. the first few scenes i'm like alice, dazed and confused. but eventually i got the plot and i was actually sad when michelle rodriguez turned into a fucking zombie... never played the game, didn't even know the movie was based on one, but i liked the film a lot. like any other film i watch, i add it to my imdb list and check the trivia if they have some. nice site, that one, go check it out: www.imdb.com

i know that it has a sequel and i wanna get my hands on it coz the ending of the first one is the trailer i saw for the 2nd one and it kinda intrigues me how the hell the virus? got out. was it adam? why is milla jovovich covered with only that paper thing dentists use when checking up a patient?

and now the movie i am so in love with right now: the notebook. SIGH! i haven't read the book, but if it's nicholas sparks, you know it'll be a cryfest. the development of the story is really good. the arcs of the characters were done well. the love story was really well done. well-written. my favorite scene was when noah was trying to convince allie to stay with him and not get married. that was something. and the love scenes were really special. i love that they have a "trademark kiss": allie wraps her legs around noah's waist while standing. that's so sweet!!!! and the actors, ryan gosling and rachel mcadams even recreated it at the mtv movie awards when they won best kiss. SIGH! my favorite moment!!!
