okay. so first things first.
WHERE HAVE ALL MY READERS GONE??! :( for the past four days, my blog stats have been consistently low :( i feel so unloved. and therefor you are not getting a proper update >:(
.. you get REVIEWS instead! :)
i saw The Incredible Hulk :D

…
but what can i say, between Ironman and The Incredible Hulk, i’d take Ironman any freaking day. for one thing, Ironman had Gwyneth Paltrow; Hulk has Liv Tyler. Ironman had an awesome, sexy costume; Hulk is .. a large green computer-generated monster thing. Ironman was charming, arrogant, self-assured, sarcastic, and a womanizing multi-millionaire; the Hulk is .. a poor, angry refugee.
but okay. no need to get all bias and stuff :)
so the movie starts off with a flashback. why do all movies start off with flashbacks? anyway, we’re treated to a full-blown account on what created the creature that is the Hulk, which is a large green thing born from the explosion of some gamma rays thing, who is now the property of the United States government, and has been missing in action ever since the accident in the lab.
our Hulk is Bruce Banner (sigh typical superhero names: Peter Parker, Clark Kent), shown relaxing in Brazil, and taking meditative lessons to keep his emotions under control. because as we all know, when he gets angry, he turns into the Hulk.
“don’t make me hungry .. you won’t like me when i’m hungry,” mistaking angry for hungry, thanks to his incompetence at speaking Portugese, in the movie.
he’s looking for a cure to his condition, and asks help from an online acquaintance, Mr Blue (oh and our Hulk himself is Mr Green), and sends him a blood sample. at the same time, General Joe has assembled a team of fighters to capture the Hulk, and one of them, Blonsky, turns out to be somewhat semi-psychotic and crazy about a good fight.
with the US army hot on his trails, and a psychotic anti-Hulk (the Abomination), and while trying to find an antidote, and saving the city AND maintaining a good relationship with girlfriend Elizabeth Ross, our Hulk has it rough.
it’s not as good as Ironman, but it’s still very entertaining :) speaking of Ironman, towards the end of the movie, our other anti-hero Tony Stark makes a brief apprearance ;)
oops. that was a spoiler haha :P
…
i also saw Made of Honour <3

…
and between Made of Honour and Enchanted, i’d choose Enchanted any time. but whatever, i mean, Patrick Dempsey, like ohmigawd, McDreamyyy, McMarryMe.
but anil liked the movie. because apparently it reminded him of .. us. like every song in the movie, Dashboard C. ‘Stolen’, Oasis ‘Stop Crying Your Heart Out’. and the part where she locks him out, and tells him through the door that she can’t trust him, and that he only wants her now because he’s afraid of losing her. and the part where he kept quiet about having feelings for her. and the 10 years of friendship thing, except in our case it’s been 10 years since i’ve known him, that’s all.
this movie is about Tom, a serial dater who never wants to settle down, who sleeps with a different girl every night of the week, and has rules for them about not getting too attached emotionally (Don’t Sleep with The Same Girl Two Nights In A Row, etc) and Hannah, his best friend of ten years, who believes in marriage but just hasn’t found Mr. Right.
when she goes away on a business trip to Scotland, it starts to dawn upon him just how much he misses her when she’s gone, and he realizes that he actually has feelings for her. and maybe, just maybe, he’s relationship material, after all.
Tom decides to tell her how he feels when she returned home to New York. except for one thing. she’s engaged. and getting married. like, ASAP.
she asked him to be her “maid” of honour, and he reluctantly agrees, because that seems to be the only way to break off the marriage, steal the bride, and win the game.
yeah, the first five minutes into the movie, you already know what’s going to happen and who’s going to hook up with who and how it’ll work out in the end. but still! it’s McDreamy, okay, so whatever <3
there ARE good moments in the movie, but because it’s so formulaic, you can’t help feeling a little cheated. it tries a little too hard at making you go ‘aww’, and it doesn’t seem to care about making you laugh at all. i mean, it’s supposed to be a romantic comedy, isn’t it?
but all is forgiven. because. they’ve got McDreamy ;)
