Hey all...been waiting for a couple of my fangirls to come online here so I can chat w/them for a bit. I'm on google trying to search for some Forbidden Kingdom movie posters, wallies, etc. too while I wait, as I intend to post on this entry some stuff that's happened with me over the weekend. ^_^
Well, first off, on Friday, my hubby and I saw a movie. We ended up seeing 'Ironman'. Actually, it was really great! Omg, it was GOOOOD. Robert Downey Jr. might've acted the roll of his life in this, as he's made a good comeback from the dead with movies. lol j/k He played a character that was like one you could like but, with an attitude per se...lolol I liked he was like that tho in this one. (totally fit the storyline) Believe me though...it's not a character you'd end up disliking or hating. He was good deshou. ^_~ But, LOTS of action...an exciting movie, I must say (slightly intense too). I actually went in sort-of blind a bit. I mean, I knew the overall storyline cuz I used-to collect comics when I was younger and I know about Ironman in a way. And as for the movie, my husb. d/lded all the trailers/teasers. So, I saw parts of it. lol But, that's all I had with it. But, it's ok. And, the movie actually had really good reviews to see this. As for Speed Racer, because it was only out since Friday, there's hardly anything on it yet, you know? I guess my hubby would rather wait for the ratings/reviews whether it'll be worth it to see it or not.
Then, on Saturday I went out with my family to eat an early lunch (more like an early dinner...lol) at Japanese Curry House. It was for my Mother's Day dinner so, my hubby promised to take me there. Thought I'd order something different this time than ordering the same 'ol thing. I had Teppen Teriyaki Steak and it was soooo oishiiiii! The meat was so soft, I swore it seemed like hamburger and you could slice it with a fork, it was that soft. Soooo good with the curry too...
mmmmmm~!! Omg, I told him from now on, I'm ordering this. lol At least now I have 3 items to choose from. (i.e. curry beef w/pasta noodles; teppen teriyaki steak, and menkachi curry)
After dinner, he took me to a gaming store (Game Stop) and bought me a Nintendo DS Lite gaming system for MD. ^_^ It was a pink one (the one I wanted) and he also got me a game to go with it. He got me 'Mario Party DS'. No sense in getting me a gaming system with no game, right? lol :P
Anyway, we went shopping around several other stores looking for a package deal for the carrying case, etc.etc. Sometimes, it pays to look because I ended up buying from Circuit City a bunch of goodies (accessories) that came as a pack for a cheap price. It had a car adaptor, carrying case, plastic film strips to protect the glass of the LCD screens, and other stuff. It was a gift I saw comin' but, just never knew 'when' he was gonna get me it. lol I actually wanted the Wii but, I knew we couldn't afford it, even now. I'd have to probably wait until Xmas. lol :P That's what I want as one of my Xmas gifts this year from my mother and husb. (the Wii)
(movie poster; English one)
The other Friday (2 Friday's past), we saw "The Forbidden Kingdom" with Jet Li & Jackie Chan. Omg, it was soooooooo GOOOOOOD!!!! I give it 5 stars...WOW~ Lots of action-fight scenes with Jet & Jackie together but, the enemy...there was this witch girl in it...a sorceress-type of character. She was really good too. And even tho my mother thought the main character (the Caucasian boy; not too great but held his own), was 'alright', I actually thought he was pretty good. I was so happy that this movie was a 'clean' one. No profanity or sex-stuff in it. (even tho there was hard-violence and blood) But, I must say...I give it a *thumbs up* rating. ^_^ If you like fantasy-martial arts type of movies, you'll love this one too. All I can say is, this has something to do with magic...and the 'monkey king'. (an ancient Chinese folklore story)
(a different movie banner; girl on left is part of the main characters in the story; I think she's pretty) ^_^
(here's the cast & crew of movie)(Jet Li and his daughter (I think); Jackie (wife, maybe?), director and wife)
(found a cute pic of someone's daughter; kawaiii ne? I'm confused now cuz I dunno whether this daughter is Jet's or Jackie's. In both pics, she's holding hands w/the both of them so, I dunno.)
Found some poster pics and wallies for u guys if you're interested...hehe. Sorry it's not T&T but...it's for the taking since I googled for this movie. (surfed the Net) Enjoy~
(main character actresses; my hubby didn't think she fought well in her kung-fu but I thot so...hehe)
