wicked.

and the movie rocks and packs with lots of visual flair that sure to makes you want to stare wide-eyed with awe, squirm (that is... if you're really not the bloodsport type of person), and experience a dreadful misery of you wanting to grab hold of a gun and point it at anyone who dared push you to your "goody two shoes" limit everytime there's that sudden HULK-like tantrum surprise emerges. oh well... read on:

Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is a neurotic accounts manager who works in a small cubical filling out billing reports day in and day out. He allows his boss, his girlfriend, and his best friend to walk all over him. To cope with his life, he takes anti-anxiety pills by the bottle full. Wesley has no desire to change his humdrum life, but one day while getting more pills at the drug store, he meets a beautiful woman, Fox (Angelina Jolie), who changes his life forever. Fox was sent to protect Wesley from the man who had just killed his father. Fox tells Wesley that his father died yesterday on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Building and that he will be next. Wesley is recruited into the "Fraternity," a secret society of assassins that his father was a member. Fox must train Wesley to bring out his special powers that he was born with in order to avenge his fathers death. The Fraternity's leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman), also teaches Wesley the ways of the group, and Wesley soon becomes an assassin just like his father.

i really don't know, if there is at one time in the movie that got me bored. the director Timur Bekmambetov of the Russian blockbuster film "Nighwatch" and "Daylight" knows his turf when it comes to an action packed story telling. he mastered the action sequence enough that it can be safely called "dangerously cool" (insert me smiley with shades here snickering hehe). And hey, that guy with his rodent friends look very familiar^^ okay...if you're really suddenly wishing that i should stop writing about the movie based on motion visual aesthetics, i will right now. because it's not really how everything looked as it goes, it's all about how the story just wrecks your head just like the main character of the movie (Wesley Gibson played by James McAvoy) have to go through. uhmmm, he had 6 weeks; as a movie-goer...it just took me 2 hours or so to sit through the whole film and literally take part as the story unfolds. Angelina Jolie is a distraction. need i say more? and the music?...KICK-ASS!




take control of your life.

i didn't have any plan for the day. (like i am good when it comes to planning? harhar) it's just gonna be a very quiet nursing a sprain kind of day (hay injured palaboy taking a break off the street roaming activity). and i retired to reading piles of magazine stacked neatly on my desk with the radio blasting off the hits of the 90s. or so i think 'til i got a text: "let's watch WANTED." (thought bubble: i am wanted!) i texted back: "game."

we're locked and loaded.
and we got the red hot porsche running, flying and tumbling through the streets that night.
hmmm... kinda like freerunning on wheels hehe (i'm missing it so bad)
