Time for updates . . .
[ doing this bec i got scolded :'( ]

Nothing much nor spectacular happened to me recently. . .
Kinda boring . . . day in day out is the same . . .

Morning wake up, go to school for lessons.
Still trying hard not to fall asleep during class. Hee :)
End of the day, go back home. Initially intended on doing a bit of studying but as always,
i ended up never touching any books nor lecture notes . . .
Maybe i am not that type of pepz that studies @ night . . .
[ but then again i could just be finding excuses for myself . . . LoLz ]

okie back to the main topic . . .
Movie review of 7 Swords . . .

Its actually based on the novel by dunno who . . .
[ i didnt pay attention . . . LoLz ]

The emperor at that time pass down a law that no one was to practise martial arts,
the those that did . . . Well have a "rolling" good time . . . as in head rolling

Then came along this bunch of baddies . . .
which apparently is an army of mercenaries working for the government at that time hunting all those who do not confine to the laws passed down. And with the emperor as their backing, he simply go round massacring every town in sight . . .

And this led to the entrance of an ex-goverment official turned good played by Liu Jia Ying. [ he's the only character cracking lame jokes in the movie ]

which in turns led to the entrance of Charlie Yeung. At that time Liu was seriously injured and hence Yeung took him back to her village, the main stage of the movie.

Apparently this village was the next target for the baddies . . .
[oh yah did i mention that the number 1 villian is also cracking lame jokes ... haizz]

And so Liu told them of a possible total annihilation of their village but bec Liu was an ex-official they turned a deaf ear on his advice and wanted to hang him.
[so much for being a nice guy]

Sooo Yeung and another cast decides to set him free and then Liu said they must travel to 天山 to look for help.
[ this plot seriously sounds like a japanese novel called 7 samurai ]

And so Yeung and the other cast listen to Liu and went in search of help. Actually they only got another 4 more helpers . . . and the other 3 ??

1 is Liu, 1 is Charlie Yeung and 1 is the other cast that tagged along . . .
Tada . . now u have 7 . . .
[ do you feel like going HUH ?????? I did ]

And they all arrived back just in time to stop the massacre of the village. They even went to attack the camp of the mercenaries soldiers . . . then the normal i cut u, u cut me lor . . .

there were some "romance" scenes in the movie . . .
[ really ??? i didnt even noticed . . . ]

well ended up all baddies lost as usual . . .

Seriously in my view, it really aint worth the watch, i too were decieved by the trailers.
If you like swordplays this would be the one for you . . . because unlike "hidden dragon, crouching tiger" all sword fights was keep to the ground, as in no flying here and there and all over the place.

but if you are the kind looking for plot, character development and stuff . . . u'll be in for 1 big major disappointment. Not much of a character introduction for the characters, as in their personality and background.

there has been qutie alot of negative comments and reviews on this . . . so i guess we can trust movie critics on this . . . but once again u are the viewer, u yourself will determine its own worthiness.

Next movie i am catching . . . most probably Herbie . . . Ooohh it brings back memories . .

till next time . . .
