No, I don’t play with states

I’ve just returned from the premier screening of State Of Play and I must say, I was pretty apprehensive about the storyline before watching it. Standing on a completely biased ground initially, here’s my review.

Heck, Russel Crowe looked like a homeless stray hobbo in the movie. God bless the hair omfg. He can’t get any shabbier even if he tried. Like seriously, what’s with the unruly hair?

A journalist CAN be immaculate too ya’ know. We aren’t all that broody. YOU need a makeover, buddy.


They even have a pretty boring poster being publicized. It failed some brownie points from me, as it didn’t catch my eye! From the poster, I was expecting some long-winded movie filled with solemn moments of people talking.

But I was wrong.
Horribly wrong.

I loved the movie!
There never was a moment where I looked at the time nor reply an SMS. It kept my attention span in such a tight grip that I realized I was sitting bolt upright in the midst of showtime. Kel Li had her legs up like a trishaw woman (omg don’t murder me)

Rachel McAdams starred alongside Russel Crowe and Ben (omg the hottie) Affleck as well. I was inspired by her determined and inquisitive nature. Those characteristics are what I see in a true journalist.

It revolved around journalists digging for a case and a story… furious editors yelling their heads off for their poor lil minions to meet the deadline. Been there, done that…heh. I totally get it, very normal.

character smileys I loved the part where he was trapped in the basement carpark with the professional assassin! That part could probably make my pulsating heartbeat put a stampede to shame.

When I got home, buddyBenj and I were talking a wee bit about the movie. Yeah, he went online to watch every movie premiering in the United States. That’s so him LOL

We came to a conclusion that we preferred Rachel McAdams the bimbo in the movie Mean Girls.
She seemed too intelligent in this movie. XD

The aesthetics of the movie was fantastic too. With excellent mis-en-scene and storyline, I’d say an excellent 20 thumbs up for this one. The company was great too, watched it with buddies Kel Li, Nigel, David, Jen, Aaron and LOL @ Thomas who had to leave halfway. *tsk tsk tsk*


Randomly, I like this picture because it
makes look like a little kid all over again

Though I don’t dig Jappy anime/manga, I’m going to catch the premier screening of Blood : The Last Vampire tonight. Let’s not hope that it’ll be another crappy vamp movie.

NO OFFENSE TO ALL THE TWILIGHT FANS OUT THERE.
I dislike Twilight I dislike Twilight I dislike Twilight

    (zomfg, I get first comment ? How rare.)

    Mm, I agree with you. I didn't even like Rachael McAdams in The Notebook. She left too strong an impression from Mean Girls. But she is pretty brilliant.

    And OMFG. SQUEE. You look adorableee :3

    And. Vamp movies. VAMPIRES USED TO BE COOL. What the hell happened to the good vampire movies. Queen of the Damned and Underworld (haha, my faves) and they dare, DARE to to release that .. that…

    VAMPIRES DON'T FUCKING SPARKLE, DAMMIT.

    /end hates on Twilight.

    hehe. <33

    Trailer looks great. Crowe is one of those guys that always puts in a great performance, imho. I just saw 3:10 to Yuma (under duress) and was surprised at how good it was, mostly because of him.

    And, yeah, what's with the hair? He's bustin on my style! I've been cultivating that shabby, shaggy look for over a year now : )

    Love the twisted end. Props to M.M.Carnahan (The Kingdom, Lions for Lambs) for writing it. MacDonald did a good job directing it too.

    Twilight sucks. After I watched the movie I thought, " okay.. that kind of sucked. but maybe the book is better"

    then i read the book and thought,
    "Nope. Still SUCKED."
