Stormbreaker
I went along with a few others on friday after school to klcc to watch stormbreaker since school finished early at 12. The others who went were yoong jie, krystal, caryn, kai li, adrian, kenneth and his friends. We were kind of in a hurry to get our tickets because we needed to get the tickets in time for the movie at 2.30.
There were quite a number of wms students in klcc. I saw schwep bing, hann jiunn, irwin, terng sheng, kok mun and a few form 5's. Coincidentally, some of the form 3's i.e. brian mok, kevin tan and all were also watching. Quite a number of wms students there for sure that day. Before the movie, we had lunch. Instead of my usual yoshinoya, I had some teppanyaki japanese stuff.
Stormbreaker is essentially a teenage spy movie based on the book by Anthony Horowitz. I think its kind of true that almost every good book will be made into a multi-million dollar movie. Anyway, this movie is not one that every average adult would wanna watch. Some said it would be like Spy Kids but I would put it as Agent Cody Banks minus the cheesy parts. However this movie should stick to being a teenage/child kind of movie. Not many adults would enjoy it.
The main character here is Alex Rider played by newcomer Alex Pettyfer whose MI-6 spy uncle, Ian Rider died during a mission. All this he did not know till Alex was approached by MI-6 bosses who persuaded him to follow in his uncle footsteps. He was suited for the job since he has unknowingly been trained for it all this while. His uncle made him learn martial arts, mountain climbing and other outdoor activities. In addition, Alex speaks various foreign languages including Japanese, German, Spanish and French. Impressive if you ask me.
He finally goes on a mission to investigate some Stormbreaker program which would be launched in schools all around England. He finally uncovers the secrets of the program and most of the action generally deepens then. This movie has some good enough stunts and not forgetting all the usual must have spy gadgets, the best one being a Nintendo DS with different functioning catridges. Cool or what.
The plot of this show as you can see generally is like every other spy movie. It is worth watching but maybe on a dvd. Girls for sure will find it interesting. The British tabloids have indicated that Alex Pettyfer may very well be the next Daniel Radcliffe so cries of "Alex Pettyfer is so hot" will soon come from girls. Alicia Silverstone who acted in Miss Match is in this film too.
Overall Rating : 3.5/5
Away from the movies, yesterday night was one of my longest periods of sports viewing on the television. I watched the man u-liverpool match, then the Brazilian F1 Grand Prix and finally the Real Madrid-Barcelona match.
I was so freaking delighted yesterday coz real madrid actually won 2-0, believe it or not against Barcelona whom they teruk-teruk lost 3-0 to last year. I still remember in Spain last year whem my mum was wondering whether they had lost on purpose last year to barca since they were still partying in the hotel after the match. Yes, I lived next to the hotel that the real madrid team stays at before games in Spain. Its called the Mirasierra Hotel. I hope to see the team again when I go again this year.
Anyway, real really played a good game. The first goal by Raul came in like just around 5 minutes into the game. The second goal came from van Nistelrooy. There were two 'almost-goal' moments but the damn ball hit the cross-bar instead. I wouldn't say that barca played horribly but they just did not do their best probably. There were apparently a few VIPs watching the match yesterday namely Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal who were playing the Madrid Masters and surprisingly Scarlett Johansson.
The F1 race was interesting since it is the last race of the season and without doubt Michael Shumacher's last race. The race was actually shown before the real-barca match on the screens of the Bernabeu. Sadly though, Schumi only came in fourth while Alonso was second. Felipe Massa was first while Jenson Button was third. This only means that Fernando Alonso is again the F1 world champion. All because of Alonso, Schumi's profilic and illustrous carrer ends in a downfall. Similar to Zidane though.
I don't exactly like Alonso but then again I'll tend to favour him coz he's Spanish. The people in Spain must be really happy for him. It was funny at the beginning of the race when I saw Pele giving Schumi some commerative trophy thing personally. One sporting legend congratulating another. Pele doesn't at all look like a F1 fan to me. haha The really long post has yet to come.
Wait for it .. its gonna come soon. LAME-nya
