The DaVincent Toad
Sunday, June 04, 2006
Clearly I am a person who blogs very regularly. Hurhur..
I was going to recommend this really good movie to everyone but apparently I was abit too slow about it and they've stopped screening it so yea.. It's "Kinky Boots" for any of you who would still like to catch it. I think the film is British or at least the actors are. As I was saying "Kinky Boots" was a surprisingly good film and especially so because I was expecting to watch a lousy show. Now if the question is why I went to watch this show if I thought it would be lousy then the answer would be, because a terribly good friend of mine asked me out for a movie and since she did, it wouldn't matter if the movie sucked because I would be hanging out with her. Plus the tickets were free.
But I mean seriously, a film with the title of "Kinky BOOTS." I don't think many would give it a second glance but trust me.. it's surprisingly funny and the plot was quite engaging! Basically it's about this guy who tries to save his Granddad's shoe company by making leather boots for drag queens and is apparently based on a true story. Now the best thing about all this is that since it's not playing anymore, no one can watch it and tell me that I was wrong. Hah!
But seriously, maybe you can buy the VCD or download it. It is certainly worth watching. Unlike of course the next film that I plan to talk about...
... The DaVinci Code. Not very enjoyable I must say. The book is better. Actually, that seemed to be the general concensus, that the people who have read the book wouldn't like the film as much and it seems to apply to me as well. But at the end of the day, I still watched it even though I expected that I wouldn't like it because some movies you just have to watch even if you know it's going to suck. Movies like...
... X3. Hurhur.. Yes I have been watching alot of movies recently.
[Spoiler ALERT]
Now X3 is just plain lame but I watch it for the special effects. There were several things in the movie that just made huge question marks in my head. First of all people with telekinetic and psychic abilities are generally quite rare in the Marvel universe or so I last remembered but in the scene inside the Academy, there were like so many random nameless students just floating and flying objects with their mutant powers. Off.
Second! After the cure was released, why was it that the people who were queueing up for the cure all mutants who looked very much human? Shouldn't it be more dominated by Mutants who are really so damn Fugly as a result of their mutant genes that they want to get the cure so they can live normal lives again? Where are the Toads and the Beasts and deformed mutants? No. The people who want the cure are the ones that blend into the Homo Sapien society and the people who do NOT want the cure are the ones are so damn ugly they have to live in a cave. Right.
Third. During the final fight scene, all the Mutants from the brotherhood of Mutants all resorted to melee combat against Wolverine. Huh? Some Mutants. Where are the Mutant powers?!??!
Fourth. Pheonix can disintegrate buildings but only surface skin flies off Wolverine. Right.
[Spoilers End]
Oh well at least Cyclops died. I've always hated that lamer.
