just thought i'll tell you all about it

I believe Kimmie has done a review on this movie... I may be mistaken but I have an inkling that she did... well... anyways... moving on...

Madagascar... just out on video and rented it because I was bored... yes... bored... Funny how the animals can talk and we understand it even though in the movie the humans cannot understand what the animals are talking about... it must've been because of the global warming... which brings me to the freaky weathers we've been having non-stop... especially the now winter-like temperatures we've been having... curse you nature!

Ehrm... yes... we were talking about Madagascar... ok the story is about a zebra named Marty who is born and bred in a seemingly small zoo comprises only of a lion, a hippo, a giraffe, a psychotic group of penguins, a polar bear and some odds and ends... ok that was not the story but the impression that I get is the zoo is VERY small... anyways...

Marty wants to be 'out there' in the WILD... whereas Alex the Lion, no kidding he actually got a title supposedly because he's the animal that the public err... admires, Alex tries to convince Marty that he doesn't need to go to the wild... but upon his 10th birthday he wishes to go to the 'wild' and so his wish came true when he escaped bla bla bla then his friends which are the lion, the hippo and the giraffe tried to capture him back and return him to the zoo then there was some complication where they were sedated then was about to be sent back when the ship went off course because of err... something... then the four friends become stranded on an island... so the story sort of went off from there... but you get it...

The story is about friendship, trust and royalty basically... oh and also the penguins and the lemurs dance hahaha... yes... that... was... funny... no seriously it was... the only thing that I really get from this movie is not the story at all but rather the fun vibe in the movie... though when I think about it I actually laugh a lot in this movie not because it is particularly funny but rather it was because I laugh at the tiniest thing... so please understand... hehe...

Anyways... thought story-wise it could've done better... that's the only verdict I'm going to give...

OK... NEXT!

Tais Toi! I've been wanting to watch this movie when it first came out and I saw the trailer... somewhere but I could've sworn I've seen the trailer somewhere before and totally forgotten about it... then Marina said "watch it!" then I thought what the hey I might as well... and so I did...

The story is about 2 fugitives... actually... lets rewind... Jean Reno starred as Ruby whereas Gerard Depardieu (I know the 'e' on Gerard supposed to have the stroke thing but can't be bothered...) starred as Quentin from Montargis... Ruby is involved in some kind of money theft (he stole money from some kind of mafia or maybe a bad rich man) and the man want it back but he got caught by the police... Ruby refuses to talk when he was in prison even when the abominable Quentin was put into his cell... I know that that sounds cruel but honestly Depardieu's character was annoying! He kept talking and he already changed 5 cellmates in just two weeks! So that sort of tells you how annoying the character was and he kept on introducing himself: "hello, I'm Quentin from Montargis" and then talks non-stop... anyways... Ruby tries to commit suicide... no... not because of Quentin it was because he wanted to escape...

So Ruby was sent to a psychiatric ward instead of normal prison and err... Quentin followed by err... trying to commit suicide too... so go figure... they were in prison ward... Ruby wants to escape and err... Quentin followed... you have to see how they escaped though... it was quite unexpected for me... Anyways... the story follows the escape of this two highly unlikely 'friends' I won't tell you more than that coz that's just gonna spoil the funny dialogues and acts that just keeps popping up quite unexpectedly...

I thought it was funny and laugh at some points but I still think Quentin was annoying though... hmmm... wonder why... but honestly it was good but not great but I thought it was really good... Dunno if I would recommend that you should watch it or not but if you're really into French cultures and like to have a good intelligent humour in your movies err... that kinda sounds wrong but it's really up to each person's taste of movies anyways... But overall it was ok... o yeah... forgotten that it was actually a French movie... hehe ^--^ sorry my fault...

Yep... that's it for today... hmmm... I watched another two movies just last night but thought maybe I should really do this one first coz I watched this earlier this week... so enjoy your holiday... and hopefully the sun will shine someday... the weather's been kinda weird lately it sometimes rain and then sunny and sometimes the temperature drop is just unbearable... =__= *sigh global warming... anyways... catch ya all later...

ps. I found out from this movie what 'tais toi' means hehe ^--^ never thought I could actually learn a few things from foreign movies...
