Ktv + Movie

Had a ktv session at orchard with Qy and Ys from 3 to 7 pm and it was rock songs all the way from 6.30 to 7 pm. Went to a small restaurant in Lucky Plaza next to have our dinner selling very cheap seafood.

Met up with Stephen at 8 pm and spent some time shopping before catching a movie at The Cathay. We watched Rogue Assassin and we made a bad choice indeed. The movie is not released in United States yet and no reviews for the movie is available at my favourite movie review website www.rottentomatoes.com. Also, no local reviews from local magazines or newspapers were out yet as Rogue Assassin opens on 13 Sep. We decided to watch the sneak preview as it looks like a promising action film with Jet Li and Jason Statham as the lead actors and the recent spat of Hollywood action films are impressive. This one sucks by the way. I feel that the action in the Bourne Ultimatum is 100 times better, Die Hard 4 is 80 times better, Rush Hour 3 is 20 times better.

Why? Firstly, the plot sucks. I'm sick of the stereotypical Asian triads plot in Hollywood films after watching Rush Hour 3 with their Chinese triads. Now with Rogue Assassin, it is the Yazuka triads. Don't they have a better scriptwriter in Hollywood?

Secondly, it is not that exciting. The action is mainly confined to gunfights and sometimes combat fighting. It's not impressive or intense and my heartbeat probably went higher by a beat or two.

Thirdly, the twist at the end sucks. Some people might find it clever but i certainly don't think so. It is too absurd to be believable and i was laughing at some parts of the movie when it is supposed to be serious.

PLEASE to the director of the movie, do us audiences a favour by firing your screen writer, your script writer, your action choreographer, your film editor and finally yourself for directing this LOUSY movie.

My worst movie of this year goes to Rogue Assassin! To everyone out there, please don't waste your money on this movie.
