I’m suffering from a little hangover from last night’s drinking (I didn’t drink much, but I think my ageing body is not taking alcohol very well) with my old pals. Did a little work, replied some emails and spend the rest of the day trying to get rid of the persistent headache. Then I decided, I should watch a movie alone. Red Cliff.

 

With a star studded cast (Takeshi Kaneshiro, Tony Leung, Lin Chi Ling, etc), it already made my S$7.50 very worth it. I can’t help but imagine the phonebooks that Tony Leung must be standing on when playing alongside with Chi Ling. Although I think she’s pretty, but Takeshi is the one that stole the limelight. The scriptwriters definitely make him look damn cool with all those witty lines.

 

Overall, it’s a nice movie, but I was expecting something better. Felt like LOTR part 1. I hope the sequel will be much better. Hopefully, better fighting scenes. Somehow, I think I’d love a Lee Ang version more. Let’s see how the sequel perform:)

 

And the next movies in my list. The Mummy and Money not enough 2. The trailers, as usual, look really promising. Let’s see if they live up to expectations.
