Bored

Nothing much since the last entry. Stop thinking about the S-Plan thingy le.

Anyway, just finished watching Kung Fu Hustle. Yes, i know. That movie was released long time ago. But don't have time to catch it while it was showing. So just managed to squeeze out the time to put the disc into my player and sit down and watch just now.



Been a while since i saw Stephen Chow(Xing Ye) shows. Love his shows since young. Kung Fu Hustle really did not disappoint me. Although "Matrix" style camera tricks are used, it is a total different experience. Some Hollywood movies after Matrix trilogy used, no, copy the camera tricks used in Matrix, Xing Ye adapted it to suit his style and that is one well done job.

I especially love the way he combined it with things you would see from cartoons. One scene show he was running away from the Bao Zhu Po. Both run so fast that you see a circle instead of their lower body. Kind of reminded me of Roadrunner. I believe he was trying to add in the "unrealistic" element from cartoons into the movie. All i could say was that he succeeded brilliantly.

Plot wise, although simple but still wonderful. I love the part about Xing Ye's relationship. The whole part of it... simply... marvellous. The undying devotion the girl had for Xing Ye is simply something I really admire.

Okay, shall end my comments here. Do catch the movie if you have not. Get the ORIGINAL VCD or DVD and sit down and watch. It is worth it.

Rating: 4/5 stars.
