so this past week, the only thing i did beside slacking? watching movies. this monday i saw The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian with mada and dee. then last thursday i went to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with omenk and the crew.well, what can i say? both were marvelous flicks with super kewl special effects. and the best thing is... i watched them for 15k each! that's around S$2.30 or something. ooh indonesia.prince caspian was extraordinary. it was exhilarating. some people said that it was lame and disappointing, but that's maybe because they didn't get the moral of the story haha. i enjoyed the movie thoroughly. from the baffling humor to the smartly depicted action scenes..and i absolutely loved the battle scenes. it was so exciting, because the many species' involved: centaurs, minotaurs, cheetahs, mice, beavers, badgers, horses... you name it. even tree creatures! that's the coolest thing about narnia. you get to see how each of them fight, and how they protect each other as well. the saddest part in the movie was when the narnia fighters were surrounded and outnumbered inside the telmarine's castle. the gate to the castle was closing, and if they didn't manage to get out, they would easily be slaughtered by the enemy. so a minotaur (a bull-man) drove himself under the superheavy gate to let the other narnians escape, while he struggled with the gate and the attacks of the telmarines. in the end, he couldn't hold on any longer (well he did have 5+ arrows stabbing him already) and he succumbed, falling beneath the gate. the remaining soldiers of narnia left inside the castle was practically left to fight to their death, and their leaders, peter and caspian, couldn't do anything. I ALMOST CRIEEEED!how did they manage to win, in the end? of course aslan the mighty lion saved the day. why didn't aslan come sooner, though? most of my friends were asking this question, and i believe this is the answer.aslan did not show up because they could not show their faith. peter, the leader, did not have faith in aslan and chose to rely on his own strength. lucy, who believed in aslan, did not have the courage to find aslan on her own. when she took the leap of faith to come to him, he would show them his mercy and grace, overflowing to no end.it's the same thing with God. people keep whining and asking why God let bad things happen in this life. truth is, they never had faith in Him in the first place! God will only work through you if you trust Him. if you trust God and do not rely on your own strengh, He will give you His power, beyond anything the world can offer. if you love Him enough to seek His face first, even when the world is against you, then He will pour all His blessings on you, more than anything you can imagine.man, C.S. Lewis rocks!then the second movie i saw this week was Indiana Jones! i never completely watched the previous movies, so i was kinda clueless at first. but the opening action sequence was so gripping and exciting...with nuclear bombs, no less! hard to believe a man as smart and as strong as jones could ever exist, eh?the storyline, at first, was really interesting. with all its mystic stuff and mumbo jumbo languange and codes and clues... you don't really get to completely understand it, but you'll think it's cool nonetheless. then when it gets to the ending... you will be left dumbfounded. i was left dumbfounded, at least. people warned me of extraterrestrial beings, but i didn't imagine it to be THAT explicit and... RIDICULOUS!long story short, the ending was downright weird. it left you feeling weird, as if spielberg and george lucas were trying to relive their glory in sci-fi movies (yeah, E.T., star wars, anyone? not with indiana jones, thankyou.) i felt totally estranged afterwards.. and the images of the alien beings disgusted me more than the skulls and dead bodies.sorry for spoiling the two movies. but here's my verdict (like it means anything). watch the first (PRINCE CASPIAN!!), and the second one isn't so bad, until the last 40minutes or so.waah, saturday already! what to do!!!
