Epic Movie

I caught "Epic Movie" the movie yesterday.

Like its movie-spoofs brothers, "Scary Movie" and "Date Movie", "Epic Movie" samples and pokes fun at blockbuster productions like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Chronicles of Narnia, Snakes On A Plane, Pirates of the Carribean, X-Men and so on.

Story is about 4 orphans: One who tried to decode a code and nearly got assassinated; One who is a Mexican wrestling drop-out; One who got attacked by snakes on a plane; and one who is deemed "normal" in a mutant community. Together they came to a chocolate factory and met Willy, and at the same time chance upon a magical wardrobe that takes them to the Land of Gnarnia. From there, they met the flamboyant Captain Jack Swallows and Harry Potter, who seems a little too old to be in school. And the four have to fight against the evil White Bitch of Gnarnia, with the help of a horny Lion.

Initially I thought this show is gonna be real funny after having watched its trailer, but it turns out to be otherwise. Not that it's totally not funny at all, but just that some of their jokes are so typical, boring and lame such that I can't bring myself to laugh at it. While some others in the theatre could be humoured by it, in my seat I could only have this thought in my mind, "Funny meh?"

Of course there are a few scenes in the movie that gave me the chuckles, but because it's only a "few", so I find it hard to remember which are they and write it down here.

Hope the next comedy movie occurring this CNY, "Norbit", would do much better.

White Bitch: Behold, my white castle.

Oh and yesterday was Valentine's Day as well. Love (and bak-gua smell) is in the air everywhere on the streets.

Anyway I never got to celebrate this occasion about LOVE because I'm always busy...
