holy shit people! 4 days more to NER-VAR-NAH.

Went to serangoon country club (it exists?) today to study. Left rather early though, met a few CJ people at the bus stop.
Watched a few movies the past few days, and i'm going to do a short review about them.

1) Eagle Eye
Or should i call it... I, Eagle. Basically it's storyline is kind of a ripoff from I, Robot. A super-computer gone on a rampage due to its twisted sense of justice, dishing out the hurt for the good of humanity. However instead of being called VIKI, this time the computer is called ARIA (another female name). In I, Robot, Shia LeBeouf acted as Will Smith's sidekick who pretty much flashes his face for less than 10 minutes of the show. In Eagle Eye, he takes over Will Smith's row. This time Shia LeBeouf has grown... STUBBLE, he is now a man and starts to play far serious rows, in spite of being a man, Shia LeBeouf comedic way of acting is not suitable for an action hero and he should more or less just stick with playing the goofy sidekick in Constantine or the hapless dude in Transformers who lets Optimus Prime punch Decepticons' faces in for him. Finally the ending scene depicts a bomb placed within a concert hall in a attempt to assasinate the President of the USA, this bomb however can only be activated by a note of a certain frequency... sounds familiar? The movie Get Smart depicts a bomb placed within the concert hall, in an attempt to assasinate the President of the USA as well, which... can only be activated when the orchestra plays the entire Ode To Joy piece.
To summarize Eagle Eye, an action/thriller movie with a more believable plot than I, Robot. Pretty awesome chase scenes... which sadly... do not fall into the plot of the story and its sole purpose is to depict the duo running away from the FBI or... to escape from a killer airplane controlled by the computer that is out to roast their balls. To put it simply... imagine if Michael Bay had directed I, Robot... and instead of the supercomputer controlling futuristic robots... it instead controls everyday machines such as using handphones to eavesdrop on you... controlling traffic lights... CCTV cameras... ANYTHING that can makes use of technology.

One scene that made the whole movie worthwhile though, was the one where the Iranian man attempted to make a run for it. The computer silences him by disintegrating the powerlines hanging over the hapless man which swing towards him and causes him to spontaneously COMBUST upon touching him and skyrockets him 20 metres into the air from where he was standing and flings him away like a ragdoll only for him to crumple on the ground in a bloody smoking heap.
Dont fuck with computers ok? They can totally send powerlines up your ass.


2) Mamma Mia!
What can I say? Well firstly, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! didn't get enough showtime though the choreography was good. Amanda Seyfriend is pretty hot and can sing decently too. Well, overall choreography is a pass i guess? Satisfying yet not out of the world and some parts were pretty lame too, like the Voulez Vous number where masked men (wearing catwoman glittery masks) start invading a bachelorette party which is rather whatthefuck ridiculous. The Does Your Mother Know number is rather laughable too, in which some puffy-haired afro nigger called Pepper (do i hear HighSchoolMuscial? the black guy who has fucked up hair) tries to make a move on a woman who is like 20 years older than him... in this case both parties switched roles in the song.
Finally Pierce Brosnan can't fucking sing for nuts, when the credits were rolling, he had 3 backup singers while the rest needed 1. When he started singing SOS, my ears were calling SOS also.
Not to forget the Dancing Queen number, when Meryl Streep and her two buddies started on their dancing rampage through the streets, every female worker they come across DROPS whatever they were doing and starts to boogie. VIVA LA RESISTANCE! ALL HAIL FEMALE REVOLUTION.
Much of the scenes were taken from ABBA MVs as well, with the camera zooming in on the workers faces when they chanted the "Money Money Money!" verse.
Despite being called Mamma Mia! the movie dosen't really depict much showtime on the song as well.

Well, any ABBA show is pretty good though. Though the actual musical is a definite winner for sure.

Two AJC people were making out 2 seats away from me halfway through the movie. DAMN UGLY BOTH. Threw black liquorice jelly beans at them.
