just like what my fb status writes. sherlock holmes is definitely more than just a game of shadows. matching wit for wit, curse for curse. with a tinge of modern technology, add two grown-up men who bickers constantly. wonderfully and masterfully pieced together right to the end of the seams. haha but i would love it if they cut down on the bombing and running scenes. 2 hours worth of action packed scenes seasoned with humour. no matter what the reviews said, even though i did not have the opportunity to watch the first movie, but nevertheless i enjoyed the movie thoroughly haha. through and through. i soaked in every single sound, the noise, words exchange. the whole experience was awesome. though it might sound far-fetched to you, but why not give it a shot? haha. how i wished i had the adequate amout of vocab to describe the entire show.
the show started off with Holmes being the master of disguise, with keen observation, slowly following irene. his love interest. haha it is witty and funny at the same time. a pity irene had to removed from the picture so fast.. thanks to Dr James Moriarty. haha it has that ring to it doesn't it xp. the scheming little tone. :)
following it was Dr watson's visit to eccentric Holmes' house haha. his house or i should say room changes accordingly to his mood :) really funny haha. i love the human camouflage suit that he created. his mind also works in a very different way. with him linking everything. victim. suspect.mastermind.evidence. all by red thread or should i put it.... as how Watson placed it. spider web... haha. i really have no idea how does his brilliant mind works :)
the hilarious part was when he 'killed' Watson's pug.. and then brough it back to life :) the accupunture needle--- Watson's wedding gift haha.
and yes, Dr Watson is being engaged to Mary... his fiancee. according to lin from the first movie. anyways. their lives are implicated from the moment they were accquainted with Holmes. haha Even though Holmes plead for the mercy of Dr Moriarty to let Watson and his wife go.. but well.. too bad, although he's evil, but that's what makes the entire movie so interesting :)
the train scene was the best imo haha. when Holmes had to disguise himself into a girl haha ghastly.. beastly girl xp but nevertheless.. amusing. entertaining and humourous haha . :) absolutely a joy to watch the part where Watson and Holmes bicker haha :)
Dr Moriarty is definitely Holmes' match. The realistic part about it is that Holmes did make a mistake and it ended in dire consequences.. a bomb masking a murder gun shot attack. wonderful. just wonderful.
The ending.. open ending of Holmes supposedly dying but in the end came back to life with his brother (another holmes) own supply of oxygen and showcasing his human camouflage suit once again haha :) nice nice. i applaud guy ritchie for it. i applaud robert downey jr for his acting. and jude law for making me fall in love with him besides the holiday :) haha.
I adore stanley, Holmes and Holmes' butler and server.... who always gets in the ay of the two brothers and .... often being bullied by them haha ;)
but i give this show two thumbs up!.
watch it. really a must watch :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
caught Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.
another good show haha :) blessed i'm truly blessed. :) awesome stuff. i'm smitten by the level of techonology they used. especially the hologram haha. the video actually follows the eyes of the subject to create the illusion that whatever you see if there. haha but it only works when one subject is targetted. there is also the double suit where your jacket can be inverted into different uniforms. the not too impressive adhesive hand gear... blue is glue and red is dead haha.. it runs on battery i think so it tends to wear out... like... in less than 20 mintues? haha. i perosnal favourite? the human recognition contact lenses. it is able to recognise if that person is a registered assasin in the database and alert you via your phone. plus its capabilities include photocopying... imge for image which is simply... awesome.. oh man haha... i really hope to get my hands on one of those.. but i don't know how to wear contact lenes xp.
anyways. mi4 was more of a stunt cum building up of tension kind of movie whereas Sherlock displays everything to you and hands it to you in one entire shot. you either take it and play along with it.. or you just sit there and try to figure out the mind of Sherlock.. which is impossible haha. i still prefer Sherlock to MI4 though cause i'm a mystery kind of girl. arm with a handful of witty conversation and phrasing.. good story line and interesting characters.. you'd have gotten me hooked.. or i like Sherlock Holmes since i was a little girl.. so.. yeah well easy to get my hooked to once you know what i like haha. i don't change much :)
i'm really thankful for the friends who accompanied me to watch these two great movies, even though the seats may not be good or for whatever reason. but i'm still really thankful. jin, lin and jia wei :) thank you. haha.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
went to the national museum with lin that day we went to catch Sherlock. the best part was it was super coincidental. didn't know that it was open house. so we managed to get into the museum for fre.. and not only that, the exhibition dreams and reality which usually cost $11 to get in. was free too!! though i didn't really know how to appreciate art.. but well look and see won't do any harm :) in addition i managed to catch a glimpse of Vincent Van Gogh's starry night. haha i like to call it starry starry night. after a song haha :) by Don McLean... who uses the lyrics to depict the life of the Dutch painter :)
i think this painting is nice too. with its level of difficulty.. to paint a full body potrait :)
haha. well.. its the second last day of the year 2011.. i do not know if i would have the opportunity to blog tmr.. or the discipline to do so.. but. this year it has been an eventful one.
i'll just end off with what i learnt. from now on, i will try not to pray for what i want/need or hope to happen. i'll pray that God will lead and guide me in the way he deem fit. i need to trust in him more.
regarding that issue.. haha suddenly it has become a taboo. i just have to say maybe we'll never meet again. or maybe we will someday but i know once we do. nothing much will change haha. still like old times. i don't know if i'm waiting or whatever. cause i didn't venture much into that area ever since i stepped into uni. haha
next year i need to maintain my gpa or let it go up. i know it can get to a higher mark. 4.5 i hope? slow slow.. bit by bit will do. fighting! haha.
i'll still continue my hunt.. oh right!! MI4 agent ethan hunt. the name is so cool!! haha <3 oki sorry.
i'll continue the hunt for my CN blue poster haha. plus i have yet to reward myself for my grades!! i'm still waiting for the Swatch touch price to decrease. no way am i spending $195 on that watch!!! haha..
everyone. have a great year ahead :)
God Bless!!! <3
