Hello, this is a film review

Being home totally makes me freaking lazy to blog. Plus, I was really into the Glee mood even though I totally think the storyline is just too childish (yes, even though Kurt's story always, in fact never failed to make me tear, I'm so weird I like gay guys! LOL!).
So anywayz, my first blog post from home is going to be movie review of movies I've watched maybe 2 weeks ago... Not that they aren't good, just that I was really lazy, okay? So here we go...

Rise of the Planet of the Apes
I must admit because I've grown up watching more Chinese movies as a kid, I did not watch any of the earlier Planet of the Apes movies. So this is the very first one.
The story was something like how people misused chimpanzees as their experiment tool and in the end got it back from the chimpanzees. Yea I know, like so lame right? Well, maybe not lame, just that it's a bit lack of creativity. Like once you watched the beginning you already can predict what's coming next. Having to say that, I still like the message the movie wants to bring out to the public. At least it is straight to the point that you shall not mistreat animals. And I'm totally amazed by how technology has made the apes looks so human! I mean, the facial expression made them so creepy to watch!
Nothing to shout about in terms of acting, totally a waste of actors using James Franco and Freida Pinto. But I was surprised to see Tom Felton in it! Quite cool to see him landing jobs outside the Harry Porter series!
I know I sounded like I hate the movie at the beginning of the review, but actually, I think the movie is worth a watch. You just have to put aside the fact that the storyline is just not very fantastic.

武侠
武侠很文艺。可以这样讲吗?就是那些对白实在是深奥,再加上大部分的对白都是金城武的四川腔华语,更加头痛!只能非常专注的看字幕。虽然戏名为“武侠”,但其实主角是个屠夫,不是武侠,连武打戏份也很少。反而金城武的戏份比较多,或许应该叫“法医”才比较贴切。总之整个电影从故事编排到对白都很另类,或许这就是特别之处吧?我不会说不好看,但我相信不是所有观众都懂得欣赏。像我就觉得大概就是还好吧!
我是为了汤唯而看了这部电影,但失望的是有点大材小用的感觉。甄子丹就实在跳不出叶问的框框,但老实说句,这部算不错了,比陈真好很多!金城武确实是重点,确实演得蛮到位的。嘿嘿,帅哥会演戏!!! :p
我对陈可辛导演的电影不熟悉,但我感觉只要是陈导的粉丝一定会喜欢这部电影。若不是大概就大概看了有点lost啰!

Planet of the Apes was unexpectedly good, though it circles around apes only.

As for the 2nd one, I heard quite alot negative review.... =_=

Yeap, that was good effort!

I also think it was so-so only lar, a bit too 'deep'.
