This weekend, I was able to watched two movies of different genre. I usually watch it in my PC in the comforts of my room (ssshhhh....don't tell this to the authorities).
The first movie I watched is THOR. I am not a superhero fan except for the first three Superman with Christopher Reeves. It was like everybody watched it so I got curious. Well, with the latest technology of course, Thor is a visual delight with all the special effects during the war scenes. There is Shakesperean twist thrown in the story but was not expounded well. Too bad Anthony Hopkins is Odin. He's one good actor. Maybe it's because this only a two-hour movie that other facets of the story was not explored.
The part when he arrived on earth learning the ropes of being human could have been a great story to tell. It was fast forward to the fight scenes so fast I can hardly breathe. The character of Jane was also told differently from the comics version.Way to go for women empowerment...no longer they are damsels in distress.
All in all it was a visual delight including the broad chest, abs and biceps of the actor that played Thor. I know that action flicks like this were bound to have sequels thus a cliffhanger in the end or was it the end already? Oh, to add, I also need to read on Nordic tales to get a better grasp of his story.
Next stop is a romantic comedy, Something Borrowed. Oh yeah, my kind of flick to help me sleep. Romantic comedy. It is an adaptation of a best selling novel by Emily Griffin and as expected target audience are mostly hopeless romantics (codename: Me).
The film is good actually, not just in making you laugh but also makes you think on the scenes and premise that are laid out on the table. The theme might be common but explored a different view on friendships and choices we make in life. The lead Rachel, was played out adorably and makes you sympathize with what she is feeling. Darcy was played out well by Kate Hudson. Effortless. How come all blondes play the hot / slightly smart chick? Ethan makes you wish you also have a friend like him. Understanding, considerate, sometimes conscience to Rachel. The guy in between, Dex was also played well. He's less swoon worthy as to other Hollywood leading man but there is certain charm in him.
In the end the film talks about choices in life and seizing the moment (not to wait for six years) in order to find happiness. It's worth the one hour or so staring on the screen.
Until next time...see you at the movies.
