Movie Nite

Used to be a no-miss weekly affair during my care-free uni days, but occupational toll has caught up with me since... no longer as energetic or as eager to keep up with big-screen releases, jumping on the jam-packed wednesday movie-goers bandwagon... hunting for a parking spots can be a b^tch on movie days, not to mention eternity-long waits for the lift & having to hustle & wade across swarms of ppl just to get to your seat, on time..well, that was FUN once upon a time... i must be showing signs of 'senior citizenship' - aw, how pathetic... but the presence of scores of chicks is always helps=p
Tagged along with some friends from workplace.. had no idea what movie to expect... but from the title - Rob-B-Hood sure sounded like some lousy B-grade Robin-Bo-Hood remake.. & for god's sake it's in cantonese! it's gonna be stereotypo no-head-no-tail hongkie flick... hell, no.
Looks like a kiddo movie from teaser poster though... hey, at least it's got the legendary Jackie Chan on the cover. Now, it can't be that bad can it? Well, when i go to the movies w/o any expectations, i usually get my money's worth. This one's no exception. Close to a full-blown comedy with healthy doses of adrenalin rush in between, dilemma checks with equally touching scenes & heart-warming characters -> i'm like =) when the credit rolls. 2 tough guys playing a hopeless pair of 'mummy' & 'daddy' -damn hilarious..
Recommended! Hey, it's got a 4.5/5.0 rating afterall ...
