"i've been to the movies!" ahahahaha. it's been ages, i swear! since Ferdi left for Stockholm, i hadn't stepped into a cinema for a single movie till yesterday afternoon! after our paper on wednesday, Kit, Wei Lun and i headed to Vivo for lunch. surprisingly, Wei Lun wasn’t all that annoying! hahahahhahaha… hmm, can't recall the name of the restaurant, but it has ajisen and some other Japanese restaurants combined into one. here's us and our chow:
and don’t worry, that was just his appetizer, lol.
kit dear with her ramen!
shucks, i forgot to ask them to take one of me with my omu curry rice…
aaanyhoo. we bought tix for 
then hung around and waited for gloria jean’s 3pm chillers deal. we got our fix of caffeine to go and snuck them into the cinema :P and boy oh boy, is Wolverine awesome! <3 him to bits!!!!!
he’s totally the type of guy i dig. just like Aragorn, he’s ultra masculine, lean, reserved, and of course, totally protective of the woman he loves. guys out there looking for girls should take a leaf or two out of their books. those traits may not be universally embraced, but they definitely have a significant fan base ;)
the movie’s pretty good in my opinion but, of course, you’ll think i’m biased since i like both Wolverine and Hugh Jackman. let me explain. ong sf in the ST said it was better than the previous instalment but is still an average popcorn movie, giving it 3 out of 5 stars. she tells the reader that she misses Jackman’s dry humour in the earlier instalments but i suppose she was just busy swooning over Wolverine’s biceps 
and pecs while he dished out his one liners… and if you actually THINK about it, this movie is supposed to be darker than the ones focusing on the X-Men. this is, after all, the story of how Wolverine came to be, not Evan Almighty! every major superhero has a sombre past; would you expect yourself to laugh at how Spidey came about? his uncle died, for goodness’ sake.
as for the script, i think David Benioff did a really good job. ong sf feels he lacks the nimbleness of his predecessors, but i think she needs to re-align her expectations of the film. she’s reviewing this movie as if it were meant to be a campy superhero excursion, but it’s not! Benioff has made full use of his characters to deliver wit and depth, trust me on this.
that said, i think Liev Schreiber was fantastic as Victor (who will go on to become Sabretooth). he could’ve turned in the model answer by making Victor really nasty through and through, yet the slight subtlety to his take on the character gave it a lot more real for the audience.
and just for laughs ;)
well, now that you’ve heard from me, go catch it in the cinemas! inject some moolah into the local economy pronto.
