Eternal torment: The Search

Thursday, January 05, 2006

Firstly, can ANYONE get me sleeping pills? Seriously, i totally can't sleep. And you would think not sleeping would turn those rusty cogs. Bleh. Who am i kidding? Let me show you some pathetic rubbish I tried to write yesterday night in my darnest effort to well spend my night.

And I wonder,
Was I truly the victor?

This barren wasteland,
I used to call my home.

See? Pathetic crap.

I just wish that if I can't sleep tonight, at least I can write something decent!

Anyways, I forgot that I wanted to write a review about Narnia. So here goes.

From the trailers, it would seem that Narnia promises to be a heart pounding story.
I don't mean to be a wet blanket but I thought that it wasn't worth all that hype. If you REALLY want to watch it, watch it on normal mon, tue, wed. Seriously, it isn't worth $10.50. (thank goodness I was treated to a free screening)

In the beginning, one would surely marvel the scenery and all.

The CGIs were fantastic. And never has a lion looked so regal like Aslan. And during the battle, oh I LOVE Aslan's armies' tactic. I was rather caught by surprise by their excellent strategy and rather pleased by it I might add.

However, the battle scenes were hardly worth the wait. Not to mention it seemed highly ridiculous to believe that some teen; still wet behind his ears, was tasked with leading an army! Not to mention somehow he learnt how to pick up the sword in less than a day?

Not to mention Susan barely participated in the fight! I mean it would have been cool to see a young woman shoot but no, when she shot this gusy to death, the scene was so darn lame I almost booed.

Now, if this came BEFORE LOTR, then maybe it could have gotten better reviews but MANY people kept comparing the battle scenes to that of LOTR.
Guess which one more prefered?

Oh and I don't like how the story turns out. Sure, one could look past the Christian allegorie and all but I truly didn't like how the story just seemed to be so sugar coated.

ACHTUNG!

GCE O level results will be out in a couple of weeks time. Or rather mid Feb. JC will resume/start in March and poly will begin in April. No more 3/6 months wait. It's coming sooner than you think. So those of you stuck in a jc not to your liking, fret not. It will be over before you even realised it. (I'm exxageratting. It'll seem like eternity but tahan!)

Exuent!
