i think i've never watched this many movies in one day in my whole life. yesterday, i met up with yuenling and mingjie to do a keanu reeves movie marathon ever since we met up last week and were gushing about how cute he was in the lake house. so our plan was to get his movies such as constantine and speed. in summary we watched six movies, including one at cathay.
1.
umizaru 2: limit of love (or otherwise test of trust. it doesn't matter. both are apt and nice.)
2. constantine
3. speed
4. umizaru 1
5. while you were sleeping
6. a walk in the clouds
it's amazing how keanu reeves look like he never changed in 12 years. my gawd. he's the last person on earth to need botox. seriously. and i'm glad i managed to catch while you were sleeping because.. bill pullman is soooooooo cute and sweet and ...... lovable. why aren't there guys like that around me?!
basically umizaru was a surprise. i was waiting for yuenling and mingjie at kbox cineleisure and was waiting in line when i saw the trailer for the movie. ahhh... i can never resist men in uniforms, esp. since i liked the lead, ito hideaki ever since i saw him in kyumei byoto 24 as an intern. so i told them i wanna watch the movie and it turned out they were thinking of watching it too!!
eventually we went over to the new cathay to watch it.. first time watching a movie there, i think it's a great place. very chic and cool, perhaps a new spot to consider for hangouts.
back to the movie... it's great. please go and watch it. i'm glad that my recent two movies on a saturday (!) have been great. at least i didn't waste my $9.50 (that's hella ex, btw). i don't go to the movies often so whatever that managed to make me go in AND like it will be good. seriously.
umizaru is a movie full of adrenaline rush and is pretty much action-every-minute. throughout the show, i was worried sick about the fate of the protagonists and trust me, if a movie can get me crying and weeping like mad, you know it's good. and it's never i-love-you-but-you-got-cancer kinda crap that you find in korean dramas/movies that can make me sob, it's the we-are-buddies-and-i-trust-you-with-my-life kind of friendship/brotherhood things that really punches me and make me cry like crazy. i don't wanna give the show away but it's really good... i mean, it got me watching the prequel immediately after and buying the drama dvd online the next day.
and so what if i went in for ito hideaki but came out feeling soooooooo impressed and charmed by a middle-aged, decked in uniform captain? (shimokawa is the name btw) mature men looking good in uniforms are sexy. mature men looking good in uniforms and are in power to make decisions are sexier.
mature men who look good in uniforms, in power to make decisions and place absolute trust in his surbodinates despite all odds?
*faints*
listening to: ito yuna -- precious
whatever you want here
