the reason for the communication blackout over the past week or so is cos my adsl line just decided to die on me. i'm not sure if its the modem that went kaput or issit the internet connection thats a lil cranky.. anyhow i've gotta get the telekom guy to come over and have a look at it, and we all know that that's not gonna happen anytime soon. so here i am getting on the net with my 56k modem (for some reason i'm only geting 38.6ks) .. sigh, pages take forever to load. damn adsl spoilt me to the max. =(

well, now that i'm done with the bitchin.. lets get on to what i've been up to. to sum the previous week off, it was pretty alright. i actually watched quite a number of movies over the last weekend .. lemme see, last sat i caught godsend .. it was alright, found the storyline to be a particularly unique one. have to say i was pretty captivated thruout the show, but the ending was somewhat crap. would recommend it nonetheless though .. but just try not to scream "WTF?!" when the credits come up.

then on sunday i caught I, robot .. somehow i feel the future portrayed in this show wasn't THAT futuristic save a few space-age looking cars and loadsa robots walking around .. well, all i can say is that this is a story that has been told countless times before - man makes robot, robot destroys man. usually the will smith factor tend to cover the fact that the movie has a weak storyline/plot (think MIB), but this time around his less-than-sterling performance just doesnt do it for me..

then today (saturday again) .. i watched catwoman. halle barry is just going all out in her experimenting of different kinds of roles huh? i mean u'd think after the disappointing gothika (did i spell that right?), she'd be more careful in her screening of roles right? ah well, winning an oscar tends to make ppl think differently, but thats besides the point. what i'm trying to say is that i walked into the cinema with a totally open mind to this one .. no expectations watsoever. and it could be precisely because of that, that i actually think catwoman was a pretty enjoyable watch for me (although kim was complaining that it was a lil too draggy..). well, i have to admit that the storyline of a feline-influenced heroine vs a cosmetic company does sound a lil dodgy, but the effects and acting actually does save the movie somewhat (well, it could also have something to do with the fact that halle's half-exposed boobs jiggles with her every movement .. haha).

well, that pretty much sums up my movie watching escapade over the past week. hope u enjoyed my short, biased but honest reviews. =) laterss y'all!
