anyways, since we had such a good time going to the movies for free last time (smokin' aces) i asked him very obviously ... "steve, can you take me to the movies for free since we had such a good time last time?" and, being soooo kind he said yes. sooooooooooo... we got into the car and headed out to CHAPEL ST. oh man, so many hotties there. it was intimidating. but, we all looked hot too. dummy came along too.
we get there and line up (im surprised at the Q) and then get to the ticket box where all hell insued. what a fucking kerfuffle. first of all i got the time wrong, so instead of it being 30 mins to wait to the film it was 1 hour... which meant they couldnt put the tickets through (because they were free) so after waiting for what seemed like a good ten minutes, the manager came down to enter the code and because it was still like 50 mins to the film started she couldnt put the code it. sooooo dum. it's like they dont trust staff with the code or something. like it's a fucking national security risk. DUM DUMS!
so, whatever, we have to come back at 9.30 (15 mins before the start)
this story really is going nowhere. enough to say that village cinema's are dum - and i think i'd rather work for hoyts.
WHAT MOVIE DID YOU SEE BEN? JUST TELL US JESUS...
"GWOEMUL"
for those in the know will know what i saw. but, the movie was soooooooooooo cool. usually monster movies suck big time - godzilla. mmm... i can't think of many... but this one was so real. it comes from south korea and it is BLOCKBUSTER entertainment with a emo little tale on families. OUCH. except i didnt realise that ... (spoiler alert) the girl died at the end - i thought he was just taking care of the boy and the girl went with her auntie and uncle (spoiler end) so, it wasn't until the car ride home when someone mentioned how "ouchie" it was... i was like, no... and then it was dum and i was proved wrong and just goes to show how obvious cinema is and how i can easily miss things.
but everything in this movie was fine. top notch. except the fire. and when you see it you will know what i mean. sound was used really well, very effective and music as well. it had this really awkward and quirky sense of humor and intelligence and all the characters you totally care about - even though they are the "losers" ... special FX are great, the monster is sooo cool and so well designed (thanks to weta & the gang)
also loved the fact that it was always raining and the gang was constantly dirty and wet. it's that kinda PD that gets me all excited. just check the girls face and you'll know what i mean. grrreat make-up and blood and stuff...
its great to see a movie come out of a country where you least expect it. and it's certainly better than any monster movie to come out of the USA in recent times.
so, go see this movie right now. before hollywood remakes it into something fucking stupid where they swap the "instant noodles" for a big mac and they change it and blame korea for creating the monster instead of americans!
im going to agree with you margaret and say 4 stars!
as for village service at jam factory - 0 stars... (i missed my fucking trailers)
