"Wanted" is what I wanted

As usual, work is driving me crazy. Went to attend my class last thursday and realised that i must really study hard because most students are working adults whom had been working for 5 years and above and they really must have alot of working experience which enables them to understand more about the course.



Despite telling myself to study, i went to watch "Wanted" with larry and nicholas yesterday. Keke, I was @ work when both smsed me to go movies. Since larry smsed me first, i told nicholas that i could not go with him. Actually both of them wanted to watch Hancock - which i felt was lame and i don't think that it would be that funny anyway. Therefore, they agreed into watching "Wanted" with me. Larry also did not mind Nicholas going along, so the 3 of us watched it together...



Keke, Nick's botak head was really very cute.. Haha, i've been wanting to meet him for quite sometime but i never had the chance to meet him since i'm really very busy during weekends - now been busier now that i've started my course. Zzz...reached early @ westmall and was waiting for Larry for dinner and i went shopping. Saw quite a unique top but i stopped myself from buying as i realised i've really grown FAT!!! Eeeks, i'm sure you guys cannot imagine how fat i've grown cos my shoulders really looked plump & broad besides my arms. Besides, i told myself i really need to save up $$ for my driving lessons & school loans.



Anyway back to the movie -

"Wanted" is really a very nice show. The plots, the comedy part, the actors (i went partly because i wanted to watch Angelina Jolie in action), the movie effects etc.etc.. Keke, it really makes me fantasise myself to be an assasin after the show... Even now, i do not mind grabbing the same tickets for a second time since i really love it. Keke...



Here's A Poster From "Wanted" and part of the storyline...





Rating: NC16Consumer Advice: Violence & Some Sexual Scenes Genre: Fantasy-ThrillerLanguage: English with Chinese subtitlesDirector: Timur BekmambetovCast: Morgan Freeman, James McAvoy, Thomas Kretschmann, Terence Stamp and Angelina Jolie
Based upon Mark Millar’s explosive graphic novel series and helmed by stunning visualist director Timur Bekmambetov—creator of the most successful Russian film franchise in history, the Night Watch series—Wanted tells the tale of one apathetic nobody’s transformation into an unparalleled enforcer of justice. In 2008, the world will be introduced to a hero for a new generation: Wesley Gibson.

25-year-old Wes (James McAvoy) was the most disaffected, cube-dwelling drone the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend ignored him routinely and his life plodded on interminably. Everyone was certain this disengaged slacker would amount to nothing. There was little else for Wes to do but wile away the days and die in his slow, clock-punching rut.

Until he met a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie).

After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his dad’s death by unlocking his dormant powers. As she teaches him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility, Wes discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out the death orders given by fate itself.
With wickedly brilliant tutors—including the Fraternity’s enigmatic leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman)—Wes grows to enjoy all the strength he ever wanted. But, slowly, he begins to realize there is more to his dangerous associates than meets the eye. And as he wavers between newfound heroism and vengeance, Wes will come to learn what no one could ever teach him: he alone controls his destiny.
