Shrek 4

Shrek 4 is probably the last thing I expected to be entertaining this year, or at least the last thing I expected to be fun that I'd actually watch. I mean, when Shrek 2 was barely acceptable and Shrek the third was simply awful, I thought Shrek 4 would just be there only for the 3D effects and some lame jokes. Well..  I guess I was very wrong. Although I think it still is no where near as good as the first movie, it did somewhat made par with the second movie, if not surpassing it. Well.. it's been quite a while since I watched it. I really don't know how much I can comment on it. But, at least I think it's a movie that won't waste your money and time.

... Of course, this whole Shrek 4 is a good movie idea may well be an side effect of seeing fat puss...

On the other hand, Prince of Persia seem to be pretty good reviews from various sources (ugh... tho most of my sources are questionable), maybe I should find some time and money to watch it. Time isn't too much of an issue right now, but money... Ugh, I need financial aid.

鋼鐵人 II

我第一次聽說鋼鐵人要拍成電影的時候，我是抱著相當懷疑的態度的。沒想到鋼鐵人第一集還蠻好看的。沒有什麼很深的理念，就很單純的一部展示科技的商業片。而鋼鐵人2 似乎也是走著同樣的路線。
這部電影的節奏、劇情都還算拿捏得不錯，笑點也蠻多的，花了280去看也不會覺得有什麼不值得的地方，反正就是一部放鬆了去看看特效的影片。不過，看完了之後，我室友和我的感想差不多，都是覺得這部電影其實也沒有什麼主題可言。在那些還算精彩的戰鬥特效背後，感覺不出這部片想要表達的東西。如果是對劇情啦、電影中心的思想這些比較重視的話，我想就不需要特別去看這部片了(這個應該從第一部就很明顯了)。
不過，一部商業片基本該有的東西他似乎也都有了，華麗的特效、性感的正妹、緊湊的打鬥畫面、邪惡的反派人物、和一些明顯的丑角人物之類的，應有盡有，不排斥看商業片的人應該會覺得這電影還算是好看吧。

感想1: Samual Jackson 也太喜歡去客串演出了吧...
感想2: Scarlett Johansson 也太辣了吧
感想3: Lisa 你不要對感想2太在意啦 :p

KICK-ASS

oops... sorry for all caps...
This past sunday I went to Taipei. Went to chill with a friend and watched a movie.
Kick-Ass, is the title of the movie. Apparently it had been on theaters for over a week now, though I haven't been paying attention to movies lately. So, when my friend linked me the trailer of the movie, I decided that I'll actually go watch it in theaters.
Well, the trailer was interesting, and reading movie reviews before I actually see the movie is not something i do. So, I was actually quite surprised at the quality of this movie. It's... well not perfect, there are will some details and some cut scenes that deserve a little more improvement. But, overall, I think it's one of the best movies I've seen recently. The pace of the movie is pretty tight, leaving perhaps only minutes of the movie without some sort of action or purpose. The humor in the movie is pretty well delivered. To that, I have to say the the antagonist big boss of the movie is well portrayed. And the amount of parody in this film is quite worth noting. So yeah... to those of you who haven't seen it, go watch it asap!!

But be warned... There are some vivid display of blood and violence... and yes.. Hit-Girl is only twelve. I guess child labor laws do not apply to superhero works.
