what a letdown

Rating: 4/10 (4 March 2006)

i went into the theatre, all hopes up, 8 academy award nominations, best picture inclusive. so what did i end up feeling after that? not the same feeling as million dollar baby or American beauty. fact is, i didn't feel anything much after the movie except boredom. screenplay and acting was superb, don't get me wrong. but other than the nice scenery and the gorgeous acting, there's not much i liked. I actually felt myself trying hard to keep awake, albeit a midnite movie is what i went for but i seldom have to keep myself awake for a decent movie. i gave it 4 cos 5 would be a 'pass' mark. and this movie failed miserably, never been a huge fan of lee ang anyways. never had any penchant for kissing men too, but having said that, i'm not homophobic. such a letdown... sigh. it's i hope they don't win it next week. i'm all for crash this year! cheers!
