The Nun
Wednesday, June 07, 2006
There comes a time.. when a movie will be filmed.. and that movie... will be so Amazingly good.. that it will set a new benchmark for all movies of its genre. And that movie is here... NOW. This summer, bear witness to the next milestone in silver screen history. Based on an original story.. The Nun.
After attending to my lastest addiction, Boardgaming at Settler's Cafe, the 4 of us Glennie Boi, Guoqiang, Zi and me decided that we should watch a scary movie. And there could be no other other than The Omen. The plot of that movie revolves around the anti-Christ being born on the 6th of June 2006 or 6/6/06 and started playing in cinemas near you yesterday which just so happened to be 6/6/06! Talk about sheer coincidence! *Sarcasm*
Ah but alas too many people wanted to watch that same movie and it was sold out. Boohoo T_T
We were hungry for some horror action however and that hunger had to be satiated and so the decision was made by Guoqiang. I believe his exact words were "Aiyah. The NUN!" And so we joined the legions of other horror movie go-ers who had to watch The Nun instead of The Omen. In fact The Nun was a full house.
I swear I have never laughed so hard at a horror flick before. Sometimes I enjoy watching horror flicks with Guoqiang because... well he is generally quite disruptive and he makes retarded comments about the show that is usually very anti-climatic and ends up making me laugh while the people around us are all very scared. I'm glad he is my friend because if he was a stranger at a cinema doing the stuff he does, I would beat his face in. So this time I was expecting yet another lame experience since GQ was there but the movie did GQ's job for him.
The Nun got every single formula for a scary movie wrong. Shitty dialogue like "So what is this some kinda I know what you did 18 summers ago?" In certain parts of the movie, members of the cast suddenly becomes paranormal experts and give insights regarding the origins and dealings with ghosts that every member in the group take for a fact at face value. Coincidentally, the cast carries 2 harpoons in their car. The toilet Spits water at the people who are about to die (Everyone in the theatre laughed at this point.) The ghost looked like Hans Solo in Carbonite. I dunno everything about it was wrong wrong wrong. You guys should go watch it!
