top 3 movies

hello

quite long ago i mentioned that ill do a top 10 movie list that everyone should have at least watched at least once or have on the computer (sounds familiar??)

but somehow that slipped my mind until today! when i visited chorseng's blog and realised harry potter and order of phoenix pictures are out. (hermione still ownssss all btw :P)

top 3 movies only. because movie reviews take much longer than music reviews to write. and when it comes to movies im more selective. :) and not that there are many really good movies today anyway.

and in no particular order again....

1) V for Vendetta (Wee for Wendetta for senthils case :D)

Political thrillers = nice show for pple like me who like extremely complicated political theory (okok it was not very cheem but i like to believe that so), words that start with "V" (for the
GUYS who have very limited V-vocabulary), + the action! and 1812 overture when the dunno wad building exploded. but it differs from the comic from quite a lot. ok actually really a lot. those interested to read the comic its in the library.


"I'm asking you again, who stole my lipstick??"


2) Armageddon

The best best best best movie ever created in humankind.
basically a giant stone hurls at a gazillion miles per hour and would kill anyone if no preventive action was taken. and being the wise and clever humans that we are, our ultimate plan is to detonate a nuclear warhead on the meteor!!
and of cos the idea was conceived by the americans.
everything about the show was perfect. action sequences, sounds, even the cheesy romance between AJ and the liv tyler character. very touching movie also.. like cmon who did not cry when bruce willis stayed on the meteor to ensure the nuclear device will blow up? even the manliest man cried i bet.
Cmon lor he had to say bye to his daughter from a giant rock in space!!!!
omg!!! thats so touching!!! and everyone in the spaceship, kennedy space centre were all crying. thus everyone in the cinema were also crying.
1 question thou: if space is a vacuum, then how do we hear all the explosions?


"whatya mean no one brought the chicken wings??"


3) Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

Admittedly, while the 2nd installment of the pirates series had more action, fight sequences, special effects etc, the 1st movie was still the better one in my opinion. and of cos, there's always keira knightley. (btw in the 2nd movie keira looked like craaaap.)
having johnny depp as a gay pirate and orlando bloom as a humble blacksmith also serves to spice up the hunkiness factor by a bit (really really by a bit). and also to attract the hordes of crazy girls.
storyline? something out of warcraft. jack and will turner have to stop a bunch of undead pirates, save the girl, kill the baddies etc. and of cos since orlando is in it, the good guys win.


"hey that's where i parked my car!!"

can anyone name better movies then these?? notice all the above movies have lots of action, a usually baseless plot, stupidly insane heroism and the hot damsel in distress. face it we are all guys here..
