Beauty Killed The Beast
"It was not the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast."
Got to watch King Kong with my college bosom friend Amie last night. And all I can say is the movie kicks ass! 'Twas the movie I've seen in a long time that actually made me scream in excitement, drop my jaws in awe, and thank God for directors and producers who don't compromise the quality of the story board for special effects. The background was awesome, though there were some scenes where the effects fell short, coz it was OBVIOUS that the background was just simulated, like the moment between the sergeant and the noob, and the descend downhill from King Kong through a medieval bat with fangs of a sabertooth tiger.
Having said that, it was pretty funny that all animals (from dinosaurs to bats to centipedes) in Skull Island have fangs the size of a kris. I know ancient animals were equipped with tools of gigantic proportions, but all of them?! even bats? and roaches are the size of king lobsters. Even creatures that I thought were invented for Final Fantasy were present. Teehee, maybe such creatures existed once upon a time after all.
The Empire State Building scene was phenomenal. It captured the essence of the original Kong movie, and Naomi Watts gave an astounding performance as Anne. Though i never really liked Naomi, her beauty and grace in this movie was a classic. And maybe because she didn't actually have dialogues in the movie. :D
Amie and I were already hungry at the start of the movie, so after 3 hours of grumbling stomachs, we rushed to the Megastrip to gobble at Cafe Metro. I was intrigued by this resto, however this died down as we looked on the menu and discovered that it was actually Recipes with a different name. Same menu, same tastes, and same hefty proportions of rice. The food was so-so. I'm not fond of recipes anyway. Oh well, at least now i know.
Then a quick visit to starbux, and by 12:30 we decided to call it a day. It was her birthday last saturday and I forgot to greet her. Stupid me. I went online for about an hour at the nearby internet cafe and by 2am i headed home. Talked to trash for about 30 minutes, then went to bed. Yep, that's how one of the Wednesdays of my life is spent. :)
