life's like that:

it takes 1 million smses to win a girl's heart (along with many other things), yet just a single reply is enough to shatter mine.

what a cruel cruel world. so tread lightly... build the bridge, build it firm, build it strong enough to last the winds so you wont have to cross it like indiana jones.

speaking of which, i saw the trailer to the new indi jones movie, IJ: the kingdom of the nazi protected secret crystal boner head skull or whatnot. blardy long title lah, how they expect me to remember? but the moment i saw the old dude's face, the first line that popped into my head was, "get out of my plane!"

niceness to see old titles with original fogeys like harrison ford being revived onto the modern silver screen once again. hope the dark knight will be a good flick too!

finally after all the deliberation, i caught 10,000 bc or whatever year they wanna fake it as. just imagine woolly mammoth hunter tribes that speak english. fluently. whoever said england invented english was utterly wrong. COS APPARENTLY THE CAVEMEN DID, CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!

and of all the setups, 10k bc had to pick aztec-ish. it turned out to be a zero gore, no boobs, family friendly, english dialogued apocalypoto lacking in humour and directing style. hands down, i think the gibberish spoken in mel gibson's tribesman film trashed this cheesy script and the retarded idea that cavemen could converse with the queen's language.

yes, you can tell im very angry at the fact that they just stuck to a familiar language for an easy way out. to whatever score i gave apocalypto the previous time, add 3 to it for effort, originality and realism. i allow my scores to exceed 5, no problem.

furthermore, the much awaited cgi sabertooth tiger made only a mere 2 minuter cameo to scare the apeshit out of some poor !kung bushmen. and no, these african men definitely didnt have clicks in their names. im pretty sure one of them was called john and the other, andy. or something.

english! pfft. still cant get over it. dammit!!

lastly, to worsen things, the ending was copied indirectly from naruto. otakus, like yours truly, would immediately relate the film's ending to a scene from the popular japanese manga where one life was used to revive another. MAN! i saw it coming from 10k miles away. so freaking disappointed.

if you're looking forward to seeing some cavemen action and sabertooth tiger hunting, look no further from your all knowing web browser. dont waste the 9 yusofs like i did.

verdict: 2.5 long nailed eunuchs upon 5.

on second thoughts, forget it. 2 eunuchs. for perfect english and the major anticipation killer. no repeal to be awarded. you've been warned, in my opinion, this movie had been the worst of 2008 so far!
