Eagle eye 2 the call of nature

Its been a while since i last watched a movie. The last was the fabulous batman. Its only worth your money to see action-packed movies in the cinema nowadays seeing that the sound system does gives an orgasmic value. The other reason being that to many crappy movies are being made for a fast buck (fastfoodfurios, anything with vin diesel, lindsay lohan, hillary duff, judd law and those dumb animations, disney has made one to many already) Those kinda movies are what you pick up from Brian's over the weekends. "onnrii ate lollarrs a piiece, i gibb you discount one....rerstt assuuredd mr soonn. Mai lvds arrr off hiyest quarityyy".

Then the minor issues of unwanted extras-Those in the audience who give their 2 cents out loud, and others who make noises which are uncannily similar to those of animals.

In the cinema there are a few unwritten rules..

Rule NO.1. When the movie starts STFU

Rule NO 2. No really when the movie starts STFU.
if you really have to talk...whisper. Even if its to yourself. Or sign.

Rule No 3. The usual, turn off cellphone. No need to put it to silent. Only makes them family jewels vibrate...Plus you paid 11 bucks to enjoy the movie. Not a phone call. I once saw this huge ape violently slamming unlucky ah chong's phone right into his skull because he was talking so loudly. True story.

Rule NO 4. Bring a plastic bag. So you don't need to go to the toilet. But if you really have to, there's always that cup from the guy sitting next to you.

Rule NO 5. The only jeering,cheering,screaming is to be done during the advertisements. Which some argue, are sometimes better than the movie itself.

This is all in accordance with a study done by the CAOM (the Cinema association of malaysia.) in which 89 percent% of those who took the survey agreed.

Now about the movie. I am sure many of you recognise Shia Labeouf, the kid who has come a long way from Even Stevens to become one of the most sort after action star. He is really good. Like many other actors out there. Some who are more talented in fact. The likes of colin farrell, Joaquin phoenix, ryan gosling comes to mind.

But one thing sets him apart from the rest of them. You know like how some people have their own trademark? That one defining characteristic about them? Well the one recognizable trait of Shia Labeouf is definitely his lips. His wet, wet lips. Its rather distracting.... or sexy. Maybe both. One thing stands out though... Its that its really obvious. To me at least it is. You don't see him actually licking his lips in the movie. It would be a carnal sin to include that kinda footage in a million dollar production...


Its true and i am not exaggerating. And NO i do not have some kind of weird fetish involving Shia Labeouf and his irresistibly wet lips. I noticed that since transformers, also that time he was being interviewed on jimmy kimmel.

*double licks*


I know i know its a glass shattering moment. Reality hits.

*pantswheezpants* need...more...exercise....

that being said. i can think of any other person who would play it better. He has this sort of wimpish, desperate vibe he does together with the whole kelam kabutness which makes him more human. Average joes out there can actually relate to his character. All he needs to do more is sss sstuuter. An oscar winning performance i would think.

However the whole plot of super computer taking over is rather unrealistic. Especially when its set in the present day. The level of advancement in AI technology is still at its infancy, I don't see how its possible... but then again so are aliens, the difference is that they actually exist...right?

I was talking to Kuok, i told him if it were to happen here in malaysia. IF. Somehow some super computer launched a cyber attack. It would definitely be the best comedy ever.

In the movie the supercomputer is defeated by them switching off the power and draining the liquid used to cool it down. and finally stabbing it in the eye.

We have 2 options here in Malaysia. Actually just one Feasible one, the other seems crazy. P2P jeng jeng jeng. Everyone downloads simultaneously. Goodbye super computer.

But then it starts uploading its file somewhere else.

Again the public starts uploading. Since streamyx controls the majority of the broadband access, and seeing how useless they are they might cut supercomps upload speed. For once their stupidity works in our favour.

those bags~~under my eyes~~


Part of it is actually inspired by Space oddesey 2001's HALL. Thankfully there is a hot mama (literally) Michelle Monaghan. Then there was the ending.

SPOILER.

In the movie Shia is repeatedly shot when he tries to sacrifice himself. Its that moment when times slows down, camera does the 360 spin around him while the bullets hits his body. Blood splattering out. He then drops on the floor. You then assume he is dead. Which is a good thing. Nothing is more cinema worthy then a hero who sacrificed himself. It adds value to the film.

Its all good. Even if the film had stopped there. It would have been brilliant. Almost magical.

But they just had to spoil it...

Camera then shows the funeral of those who were sacrificed. That they were true Americans, that kinda silly narration which normally happens.

Then we see michelle monaghan finally reunited with her son, who celebrates his birthday together with his friends. Shia labeouf then appears .... Aiy say anti climax betul laaarrr.

You then see both of them lingering around, acting shy an all. Then Michelle leans over to peck him on the cheek. Owh gawrsh... the age difference makes it unbearable.

They had wanted to make people realise their dependence on cellphones and stuff. They had wanted to make the film in such a way that people who had watched it would turn off their phones once they went out of the cinema. Obviously it didn't work as i saw some guys texting in middle of the movie.
