Saw X-MEN last night with the usual suspects. It was a terrible ordeal to watch it on the sidelines. The entire film looked like it was going to tip over me. And the plot was really really terrible! Prior to that I saw the trailer of MATRIX 2 and was totally aghast to find that it’s all the usual thing, more flying around, more bullet time! How much more can public taste devolved? Havent they found a new way of presenting a fight scene instead of the usual chop suey wire works from Hong Kong?

With Chinese or Asian films.its ok to have that. THAT’S TRADITION! But when Americans ape it like Drew Barrymore and Keanuts Reeves…It’s disgusting! Even Xmen 2 wasn’t spared the Hong Kong spin.

I rather liked the first one so I was disappointed to find 2 as bad as it can get. Of course someone dies…but as in movies and in comic books. They come back! OHHHBOY!

CESS: “ So how was the movie?”

FLIM: “ Terrible! Should have just saved gas and bought the pirated copy in quiapo.”

CESS: “ How did it end? “

FLIM: “ OH you know….she bites the dust and then there’s a pan across the water and some CG animated shadow of a bird flying below.! “

CESS: “ DARK PHOENIX! “

FLIM: “ What is it about dark Phoenix that has everyone running around with erections?”

CESS: “ Well she was boring as Jean grey.”

FLIM:” I need some sleeping pills.”
