Comments:

Well, as a movie, wanted is good. They have great special effects and awesome stunts. But killing shouldn't be that easy. You really can't take people life because a loomp of thread said so. That's definitely out of question! Irrationable, bloody, and cool. That's are my comments.

Fun facts:
  • Taken from a comic called Top Cow Production by Mark Millar
  • This is the first english language film for the director, Timur Bekmambetov
  • Shooting took place in Chicago, Prague, Checz Republic, and Budapest.
  • When Wesley returns to his apartment to retrieve his father's gun, Barry's missing tooth is clearly blacked out.
  • On the train scene, where Gibson is trained, Fox was using high heel boots, after they jumped, Fox was wearing flat boots.

Comments:

I literally felt hardly to breath while seeing the movie. Tenses were everywhere, and you would not find space to take a deep breath he he, i'm not joking. This is the darkest and the best Batman movie i've ever seen. Heath played as psycho Joker wonderfully, as a matter a fact even better than one played by jack Nicholson. Joker was completely lunatic! He is really frightening and creepy hiksss... The movie duration was about 2.5 hours, long but not even boring. Everybody played their parts wonderfully, i really like the movie, and you should try to see it. Awesome! But make sure no children allowed, they have so many dangerous and harsh scenes, you will not want your children to see or even imitate those, believe me, this movie definitely not for children!
Oh ya, and please! KEEP YOUR FEET DOWN!!! You don't know how annoying when people trembling their feet on someone else seat! I felt it, and i hate that!

Fun facts:
  • Adrien Brody and Robin William publicly announced that they are interested in Joker role.
  • Matt Damon is director's first choice to play Harvey Dent but turn it down.
  • The first Batman movie with no Batman on the title.
  • Katie Holmes also turns down offer to play Rachel Dawes role.
  • While filming on the streets of Chicago in April 2007, it was carried out under the fake movie called "Rory's First Kiss". Fliers regarding the filming carried this fake title, complete with a fake "RFK" logo for the movie and an address for the film's production offices.
  • To prepare his role, Heath Ledger lived in a hotel alone for one month formulating the character's voice, posture, and phsycology, and kept a diary in which he recorded Joker's tought and feelings as a guidance of his performance.
  • Heath Ledger's sudden death on January 22, 2008 prompted immediate speculation as to the state of this film. Late the same day, Warner Bros. released a statement declaring that Ledger had completed all his scenes and post-production work, thus making the Joker the actor's final completed appearance in a film.
  • Sir Michael Caine said Heath performance is topped Jack Nicholson. He said Heath's Joker is really scary phsychopath. This is based on the scene when Joker visits Wayne Manor, Caine never met Heath before, and frightening to see him as a Joker made him forget his lines.
  • Theaters accrosed US opens at 3 AM and 6 AM to accomodate explosive movie goers.

Be the good movie blog ^_^

Today, accidently i found one great movie blog, i'll tell you latter and show it in my favorite links as soon as i have the owner permit to link to his ^_^.

His Blog is definitely good and original, and i completely agree that one should begin his/her blog with his/her pasion for movies. I love films and i definitely enjoy entering the cinema, he he the feeling is really undescribable, ho ho maybe sounds too much but that's exactly what i feel.
I just hope, at least i can give some big picture of the movie, and that will be all yours to like it or not ^_^, just like this good blog said, film is very subjective, i may be like it but you don't ^_^

I will keep write what i see and what i feel ^_^

Oh ya, one more thing, i think my blog is very plain, could you give me some comments what to add in this blog, so it will brighten this blog ^_^, and thank you very much for your comments.

The Dark Knight, Wanted, n 'That Will Smith movies'

Hiyaaaaaaah!!!!!

After several days of watching blue (hi hi i love this term ^_^) finally i have my movie spirit back, wa ha ha ha ha ha, i can't wait to see the dark knight premiere tomorrow, and hopefully i can have the ticket hi hi (i must ask somebody to buy me a ticket geee.....). Only yesterday i was realized that The dDark Knight is the phenomenal film and last film of the great Heath Ledger.
Honestly, i never be his fans but his tragic death and all excellent movie comments was tickling my nerve. I really want to see the movie, even i know Heath appereance will probably make me scared he he, what a chicken, but his make up was really spooky hikss. Somebody alive with the make up will definitely scary, imagine if that would be dead people! Hikssss.....

Wanted is also my agenda for a very long time, but things happened and i can not see it at the first place. Ok than, i'll catch for those two. Errr...Will Smith? It will probably later on to see. By the way, why can i write the tittle without blogger cencored it? Geeee, i'm not the one invented the movie title, sigh.
