District 9, The Tournament

DISTRICT 9- I'm not a fan (at all) of alien movies, but I watched this one because someone told me that the ending was unexpected. Well it isn't really unexpected, but it was a pretty poignant one. Well-paced enough with out-of-this-world gadgets and weaponry, and the ugly human nature once again, I think it's quite worth-watching. Added that both humans and aliens were co-existing on the same planet too. 7/10.

THE TOURNAMENT - This isn't as bas as I thought it would be at all! Kelly Hu looks great even with barely any make-up on! Kinda corny premise, some gore here and there, competent fights and actions, this will keep you entertained for its whole 90 min run. 7/10.

Saw 6, GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra

SAW 6 - To watch the winner of Scream Queens, Tanedra Howard doing what she does all the time: look agitated and talk angrily. Kinda glad that Michelle didn't win this so she didn't have to....don't wanna spoil it for ya!! =D So yeah...the plot thickens! It's fascinating how much in-betweens can be placed within so much that's already going on. This time, the traps are more of a focal area instead of contraptions. This is supposed to be Jigsaw's last will, but looks like something went haywire, and we should be expecting Saw 7. 7/10.

GI JOE: RISE OF THE COBRA - Don't you just love big-budgeted blockbusters?! Cool CGI and special effects, out-of-this-world gadgets, supernatural abilities and what not...you get the gist. Sienna Miler looks pretty good as a brunette, and surprisingly Lee Byung Hun had a pretty significant role. I guess it helps that he speaks proper English. Everyone's saying that Channing Tatum was a bad actor. Doesn't bother me. Storm Shadow's fight scenes were well done enough. The bitch fight between the two chicks was kinda hilarious, but it suffices. The nano-mites were a pretty interesting concept too. But looking at the ending, I think we need to expect a sequel. This is coming from a non-fan of GI Joe. That's why I thought the movie was fine. At the very least, it held my attention for the whole two hours. 7.5/10.

Ninja, Phobia 2

NINJA - This is a low-budget movie, obviously, because I do not know any of the Japanese actors. And yeah! This is where Scott Adkins comes in; he was the sewn-up Deadpool in the Wolverine Origins movie (which kinda fell flat btw). The on thing I have gotta give props to is the realism of the lead actress' fight scenes, in which she kicks a >200 pound dude and he doesn't go flying as if Scott Adkins was the one who kicked him. It really showed that she, a skinny female, needed STRENGTH and EFFORT to kick her assailant. Fight choreography was quite good, the movie was well-paced, all in all, not bad at all for a low-budget flick. 6.5/10.

PHOBIA 2 - 5 kinds of scares huh...not exactly. Just that most of the time, especially the first two, were loud and hence shocking. The first one, 'Novice', was just alright. Nothing to shout about. The second story, 'Ward', was pretty cool. 'Backpackers' really had potential but fell short due to lack of elaborative script. The guy in here was pretty cute though; too bad he died! 'Salvage' was kinda meaningful, but I thought they could have done with a better manner for the er, demise. As for the last one 'In The End', this one was kinda meant to be a spoof of almost everything horror. They even brought the four guys from Phobia 1. Nonetheless, pretty watchable. Not for the faint-hearted, especially if you plan on watching it alone on the big screens. 6.5/10.

Tired

I am so so so tired. I need to get the bloody hell out of here asap.

If you asked me to continue this only till 31st December, and on the 1st of January 2010 I'll be getting paid a million bucks, I'm still gonna say no.

Unless I have death wish and it'll all go to my parents.

But fuck, NO.

While I'm at it, I don't know what the fuck is wrong with that new trainee. Or with my boss too.

WHY THE FUCK DID YOU HIRE HER?!?!

Fifteen more days; FIFTEEN!!

ARGH!!

July 16...

...was my last entry. This entry is just a summary of what happened in between then and now.

I'm handing in my resignation letter tomorrow. I've tried my hardest. I think it's enough. I don't belong there; no worries, no hard feelings.

Time to pack up and go.
