Chigurh

Achtung, Spion! Die, Allied Schweinhund. Abookit! Tat tat aprukit! Saniku! Cintan kick!

Never mind me, just this sudden urge to bark these unforgettable, classic gibberishes. Mein leben, AYEEE!

Yay, one more week and I’m outta this gulag! Muahahaha….. Anyways, gonna switch to hibernate mode the first thing I get back home, booyah! In the meantime, I’ll be scheming my evil plan to bore you to *death, kantoi lar. While I’m very free here, picking my nose and scratching my ass, y’all can help me contemplate on what I have to fill in next. Nothing? Nevermind lah, I got something. Yes, another ‘Stupid Movie Review’, that’s what it is! So, today’s I’m gonna rekomen y’all something practically unheard of on this side of the planet, but this picture landed itself an Oscar ‘Movie of the Year’ this year (or is it last year… I forget), though some would beg to differ. Well, I’m in the middle on this (don’t I always… ). Still can’t overthrow the supreme cult- hit, Fight Club from my list and nothing ever will. Will there? I never know…

No Country For Old Men by The Coen Bros


Well, I’ll cut this short coz malas skit, eheheh. Based on a novel, the synopsis is nothing to shout about. Story tells of a Vietnam vet, who happened to step on some shit. Here, an aftermath of a drug deal gone terribly, horribly, vegetably wrong. So, you have dope, dough and lotta dead-ass capped Mexicans. Guy took cash and kept mouth shut. Ohh, he didn’t realize he’s playing a dangerous game… uh oh. And then, came along this badass with a seriously bad bush to intervene, eventually becoming his nemesis. This dude, Chigurh, has gotta be one of the sickest, yet cleverly thought out villains in motion picture history, Villains Hall of Fame. Forget those corny Green Goblin, Dr. Doom, etc, this is the real shit, right here. Really deserve my admiration. Cool murderous arsenal to boot. The pace of the movie was quite a drag, lotsa silent moments here and there. But this helps build up the momentum for the plot. Turn up the volume during gunfights and you’ll really pop your drums. Do that. Appearances by Tommy Lee Jones should be noted too, aging well as compared to the now tubby Keanu Reeves. The thing didn’t exactly go out with a bang, fireworks and stuff. Mediocrity serves its purpose here. Go watch. But chicks (even dudes these days, haiz) attached to stupid Taiwan lovey-dovey crapss can stay clear. Otherwise, you’ll be traumatized for life and I don’t want to be blamed for that.

However, it’s sad to see movies like these get underappreciated these days. Tales like this don’t hand you over the storyline on a silver platter with icing and cherries to top it off. At least they get your cogs turning once a while. Best example Cloverfield, I can confidently say that it’s one of the best movies out this year. Yea, I know. The camera angles often left bitter taste and make you float ten feet off the ground, but try to see it as what the creators do. Experience… (*dough). Or blame yourself for being such a pantsy and easily disoriented, haha. The mysteries are more intriguing if left unexplained, don’t you think so? You never do wonder why God invented penis…. or do you?? Neways, to all Lost fans across the Milky Way, your patience will definitely
be worth your while by the end of Season 6, I gaylantee it.
