of pirates and halo

went to watch pirates of the caribbean: at world's end on thursday. first day of general screening in malaysia. there were not as many people as i expected. maybe because it was a working day and still early.

anyway, i din enjoy it as much as i have hoped to. a bit of a disappointment after all the hype. i still love the first one best. even the second was not bad. but the third...hmm... i couldn't believe that i myself yawned a few times. the movie was about 2 1/2 hours or longer. it was a flat start and things only got more interesting when johnny depp (oh johnny, what are we to do without you?) entered the screen. his jack sparrow is really one of a kind! but the twisting and intertwining plot was a headache. maybe i was too dumb to understand all those utterances and muttering. i was in a daze...totally blank. mr chow yun fat's performance is nothing out of the world. to think that his photo is there on the main poster makes one expect him to have longer screen time. alas, no. but a friend remarked that at least he gets to kiss the girl (yucks! who wants to kiss kiera?).

i am not going to continue by writing the ending. the fighting and swords buckling skills are well-choreographed. the jokes...not as plenty. all in all, a so-so for me.

well, the night then continues at halo cafe, ipoh. the first time i go to this one. the quality of singers are not as good as the ones in kl i think. all the songs are melancholy ones only, even those a bit upbeat ones, have been tuned down. come on...rock lah sikit! a lullaby to end the dull day which was totally unprecedented.
