WOW! Back to blog again because I just watched a REALLY REALLY KICK ASS MOVIE!!!!!! V FOR VENDETTA!!! Its seriously seriously nice. Really, its one of the best movies I ever watched, to me ranks right along with Batman Begins and Lord of the rings(overhyped movies like harry potter can't even be compared to this movie). I give it 4.5 stars out of 5. Its the first time(I swear) I watched a movie without feeling sleepy halfway through! This is considered a great feat since its like a 10pm show and it ended around 12+ AND I was feeling extremely extremely sleepy before that. The show is interesting throughout and it grips you from the first minute of the show to the very last second. Even with movies like lord of the rings,batman begins, there are boring moments but this movie somehow manages to make every moment of the show interesting. Oh ya,except for one part which was rather corny(thus I give it 4.5 instead of 5) and somehow didn't fit in with the atmosphere of the movie. Ok, for those of you who don't know what it is about, allow me to give you a short synopsis which I copied from a website.

V for Vendetta takes place in an alternate vision of Britain in which a corrupt and abusive totalitarian government has risen to complete power. During a threatening run in with the secret police, an unassuming young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman) is rescued by a vigilante named V (Hugo Weaving) -- a caped figure both articulate and skilled in combat. V embodies the principles of rebellion from an authoritarian state, donning a mask of vilified would-be terrorist of British history Guy Fawkes and leading a revolution sparked by assassination and destruction. Evey becomes his unlikely ally, newly aware of the cruelty of her own society and her role in it.

This "hero" V is totally different from other heroes like superman,batman etc. In fact, he is planning to do the opposite of what other heroes do and is trying to create chaos in Britain. However, the reasons for him doing it is to destroy the government in Britain(reminds me of Hitler and his rule). Hugo Weaving as V is superb. He manages to somehow convey the intricate feelings of V even with a mask on all the time. He is both eloquoent in speech and graceful in action, he is ruthless(this sets him apart from other heroes) yet he is kind in a subtle way. To be able to show and let us know what he's feeling without saying so and behind a mask makes Hugo Weaving a Oscar winner in my opinion. Natalie Portman is great too, and she looks so beautiful even when she's bald. Oh, and though sometimes they may speak too fast for your brain to process what they're saying sometimes,don't worry cos you'll understand it in the end.....everything will fall into place.

So basically,unless you're looking for comedy or lots of romance or are mentally unsound, I highly highly recommend all of you reading this to watch this show cause you'll really enjoy it!!!

Oh and to answer my tagboard(apparently I can't tag......so yes wth,my computer just sucks!). First to chow ee,you're an ass! Haha,but anyway thanks for the er........luck. Yea,its better if you wish me luck in other things(which have more hope of happening) .....To BM0512(whoever you are), I got into BM0526!!!=D And to Ahmad who tries to pass of as V(you should put your name as V. gemok)yea,i'm planning to watch it again! So anyone wants to watch it with me? Haha,but must get my financial power up a bit la.

See death in those eyes
As the flame dies
Then suddenly arise
Lingering on forever.....
