EviLyn commenting on: Evangelion:1.0

Read synopsis here


The plot is almost 100% identical to those of anime I should say. Brutal and all. Literally a cut and paste, with some bit of sophisticated editing. Rather, this is a concised of the anime's chapter 1. While some reviewed saying that this movie was made better by removing some unnecessary part, I say the removal was a total wrong decision.

Honestly, the remake of Evangelion (to a movie) was both abrupt and surprising - the anime featured a whole load of Shinji and Rei's turmoil. Which requires plentiful of detailed narrations. It's the core of the entire anime. We all knew, making this into a movie depicts the deplete of it's originality which breaks my heart to even think of it.

The character's personality wasn't that much elaborated. Focusing only on the process of the battles. It's gonna get real boring seeing evangelion fighting angels all the damn time you know?

Visuals: That's the key selling point (or unique selling point, we say) of remaking an anime isn't it? Else why would anyone wants to watch an anime-made movie?

Direction: Moving, inevitably. However, removal of those many scenes resulted the movie to not correspond the sub title - You are not alone. The ending suggested more episodes to come. Whether it will be screened in Singapore, let's cross our fingers.

Overall: Watch if you are interested. Not a bad idea to spend your 90 mins if you've got nothing to do but roaming about along the busy streets.

If you were to ask me if I'll watch the 2nd evangelion movie, I say I'll contemplate. Would rather go watch the anime all over again, but somehow the idea of it's movie seems to attract me spend and watch their craps. Wonder why. I must have been possessed by one of the angels.

Set in ancient China before its unification, during which countless kingdoms batter for supremacy. YEN FEIER (played by Kelly Chan) is thrust onto the throne when her father is killed in battle. Feier and her loyal MUYONG XUEHU (played by Donnie Yen) unite to defend the kingdom. But her ambitious cousin Wu Ba (played by Guo Xiao-dong) sends assassins to kill her. A mysterious man Duan Lan-Quan (played by Leon Lai) saves her. Feier falls in love with Duan who offers her another life. With the fate of her kingdom in the balance, Feier must choose between her duty and her dreams...

Plot: I don't think I'm bias at all. Uh uh. Watching the entire movie itself was amazing enough for a I-don't-like-swords-and-clingclank me. If you are all prepared for the fighting scenes, don't bother. There are only 2 pathetic scenes featuring the showdown. And trust me, those scenes ended like POOOFT! fast. Snap snap and its done. And the part where arrows could be pierced through the armour yet a bloody knife couldn't aggravates me BIG BIG time. No logic leh, director/producer/scriptwriter/whosoever.

Run time of the movie was like 105 mins (oh, GV states 95 mins) if I hadn't remembered wrongly. Problem is, I concluded the entire 105 mins without knowing what exactly is the objective of the movie.

I really think Donnie Yen's talent was wasted. Mr Director ah,
you could've invited someone cheaper for his role you know...

Acting: I only like Donnie Yen's. Guess the reason why I managed to complete the movie must be because of him. Infinitely. Only to heave a bigger sigh. Fan-seee of Donnie Yen (Why Yen ah? Thought his surname is Zhen??) please don't pin to much hopes for his fighting scenes. Kelly Chan looks stupid as a martial pugilist. Leon Lai looks retarded. Period.

Visuals: Ok, I know I sound bimbotic. The more I anticipated Kelly Chan (Yan Fei-er) appear in the all so princessy costumes, the more dissapoinment I've gathered. She's tall, stylish, pretty and I've got nothing against her. BUT WHY? WHY IS SHE SO ABSOLUTELY UNKEMPT in the movie??? I know lah, she's supposed to fight and lead the war blah blah blah, but can make her prettier not?? Those close up (horribly horribly ugly) and slow motioned expressions of her falling off from the horse - total turn off.

Empress, princess, whatever. Don't even think of her looking or dressing like one in the movie. Instead, be very kind and prepare yourself to see her (all the damn time) in one of those bing ma yong suit. UGH. No colors. All black black grey grey dark dark dirty dirty. The title says "Jiang Shan Mei Ren" and "Mei Ren" means beauty. Where's the beauty? I don't see any leh~

Direction: World peace! He wants it, she enforced it, everybody dies. Then world peace. I don't wanna be a spoiler, so go watch and you'll know what I'm yakking about.

Overall: Don't watch can? Really, don't watch don't watch... From the bottom of my sincerest, compassionate buddha-liked heart - don't watch. Wait for dvd.

I'm baaaaack~ (part 2)

Stupid girl kept coming and kaypoh when I was cam-whoring.

Xiao hei must have been wearing alot of demi-bra, her ne ne half white half brown one.

I suddenly thought of something darn funny that happened on the day we took this picture - that girl wanted to make a trip to the loo urgently. Which was horribly far located and worst, filthy. I can literally smell the stench even before we were nearing.

OMFG, I'm laughing so hard while typing this out.

(walks doubtedly to the 1st cubicle)

(walked out, shot me a frightful and digusted look)

(went to the other one, didn't even dare step in)

(paced through and fro for at least four times)

She: "WAH LAO! Cheese bun!! SIBEY ER XIN LOR!!!! *gag* "

Me: *pretends to choke and puke*

She: "@#$%^@*, ah~! Fuck lah, just go"

And she finally went in. After some 5 mins of cussing and pondering, walking in and out.

1 min...

2 mins...















3 mins...

(Scurried out and zip her shorts)

She didn't even managed tp zipped her shorts and fled outta the loo. Anyway, she's got her bikini bottom.

She: *pants* "WAH LAO, 你懂HOR, 我一脱裤的时候我就听到bzzzzzzz的声音在我的屁股那里LEH!!! Damn gross lorrrrrr!!!!"

Me: "Hahahahaha~ ewl!!!! Damn er lor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

She: "Ah bo!!!!你没有看我连裤都没有zip就跑出来啊!!!"

WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Damn wicked. Flies buzzing around her butt!!!! Tell me that is totally hilarious can!!!!!!!!

Ok, that's all. Bed's calling and I'm so gonna' plunge on my queen sized. Have a nice weekend, babes. Good night don't let bed bugs bite.

I'm baaaack!

P.S. No pics of the hotel yet. Reckon I'm too tired to upload them.

Yes yes, I'm back. After much home/friend/food/bed sick. I'm finally back - with many many pictures.

Krabi was hot. Very very mtfk hot. People were seen with very minimal amount of cloths hanging on their human frames. Yeap, bikini babes - everywhere. Fat ones, skinny ones, young ones, old ones, smooth ones, wrinkled ones. Name it. Even nudies could be seen there and then.

Folks there are friendly and surprisingly, most of em' knows how to converse in English. Prolly due to the many ang mor tourists that frequents there.

Unlike Singapore, Krabi-eans are rather used to the skimpy attire and none could be really bothered with you walking around in bikinis. Had my fair share of walking around with one. BAHAHAHAHA.

Day 1

Along Ao Nang, and concluded the beach there failed our criterias.

So, off to Railey beach we go.

Xiao pang hei: "You look like a dead corpse."

Yeah, I might be burnt to death by the scorching heat there...sibehhhh juah ahhhh~

Some humongantic claw tries to raven the cliff.




Xiao hei: "Think I can carry this up?"

Me: " 'cors not lah!"

Xiao hei: "You say cannot right? See? Hmmph!"










Government should really consider placing these red push carts in our geylang's even numbered lorongs. Replace the sotong with dom doms and tampons. Same effect. WAHAHAHA.

Xiao hei: "Wah rao, people take picture of you nice nice with the food and all, you take pictures of mine substandard one! Nvm, I pretty can liao"

Day 2

Seven early eight early wake up (grouchy lor!), get prepared and have our breakfast before we set off to tour Phi Phi Island.

Me: "Say Phi phi!!!!"

We: "PHI PHI!!!"

*shutter sound*

(sees picture)

Me: "when you pronounce Phi phi the mouth where got open one?!!~"

Money won't drop from the sky lah, mei.

This.is.what.you.call.clear.water.

Bamboo Island. Beautiful, isn't she? Lurrve the serenity and tranquilness.

See that thing sticking out? That's the chicken island. Looks more like an ostrich to me.

Ignore us. See the fella behind. Cute guy!!!

But girlfriend damn ugly.

Cute guy no.2 (Least his girlfriend was better looking). Didn't manage to capture the front view cuz I'll looked too pervertic obvious that I'm trying to snap pics of them!

Naipa, this is for you as promised!! Bikini babes from Maya beach.

Final day

I almost died-ded while waiting for the land transfer to pick and send us to the airport. Didn't know the very so very impatient me can wait up to 6 goddamn hours hanging (we checked outta our room at 12 noon, mind you!) around the super duper muderous hot Krabi.

She's literally chao dah~ LOL

LOLL

LOLLL

LOLLLL

Man, it took us less than 1 nanosecond to feel how good it is to be returning home! But you know what? We checked into the departure hall and this was how it looked like...

...












...

Fully filled with passengers. People had to sit on the floor. Commotions here and there, babies crying, lousy PA system, flight delayed blah blah blah blah blah.

Win already lor. And little did we expect that there were no restaurants in there. Leaving our stomach empty while we head back home. Trust me, the bowl of mee gia near my block's kopitiam tastes the best I've ever had in my whole entire 4 days.

(To be continued...)
