The Forbidden Kingdom.

The bestie and I were (was?) dragged out by the guys to catch a late night movie. I was already nuar-ing at home and really didn't want to go. But I couldn't pang-seh bestie, right? So threw on a pair of jeans and top and off to Cine.

Once the bestie and I were (was?) there, we felt severely under-dressed. Despite it being 10.30pm, every single girl we saw was dressed up to the nines. Their fake lashes are so thick and firm, I swear I can hang things on them.

These girls are just trying too hard. I'm serious. There's pretty and there's trying too hard. They are the trying too hard kind. More on this topic on another day.

Cineleisure is a place for the wannabes and the couples. PDA galore, me darlings. So yes, I will avoid it at all cost. Maybe except to go to Shokodu to makan.

Nothing nice was showing, so we watched -

The Forbidden Kingdom

The opening credit was way too long. And there were too many fighting scenes (but they were rather good).

Of course, hearing kung-fu names in english is just plain weird. Drunken Fist, No Shadow Kick and yada yada.

Took a look at the subtitles and realised, they are rather incorrect. Direct translation was okay. But it doesn't really express the emotion the movie was trying to express. Oh wells.

The conversation sounds a little fake. It sounds like they are just regurgitating their lines. Except for Jackie Chan and that American actor. Storyline not excellent. A little bit of humor.

They used the weirdest combination of words? "Orphan bitch" was one of them. I'm like HEH?

Overall rating - 2.7 stars out of 5. Wait for someone to buy the DVD and then borrow it.
