a pleasant surprise!

yesterday i went to watch immortals with A. the movie was rated 18SG here in malaysia. when we were about to enter the cinema, the attendant that was checking our tickets requested for my id. at first, i thought he was joking. but, i later learned that he was serious when he kept our tickets on hold. embarassed, i showed him my id and he let us in. but after some thinking and receiving friends' feedback regarding the incident, i am flattered instead. to think that i could still pass as a minor, hehe...

this incident made me remember the time i was studying in germany. since, we asians are usually small and young lookin compared to the europeans, the people there always mistook us as children. one time, we want to apply 'bahncard', train card that get you discount, the person in charge asked us to bring our parents if and applied it with them. when we told him that we are already adults, he wouldn't believe us until we provided him with our passports. those were the days my friends!

and if you want my review on immortals, i would give in 5/10. the actors were great and so does the effects and surroundings. what made me gave only 5 was the storyline. since i knew a little about greek myth and legend (thanks to mr rick riordan), the movie drifted quite a lot from the original legend. the titans and gods are portrayed differently from the one that i was familiar with (again credit to mr riordan). but if you knew nothing or little about greek myths, the movie would favor just fine. before immortals, i did watch in time with A. i will rate it 7/10. the 3 marks was deducted because of logic. since, i'm quite a logical person (eventhough i do have great imagination), there are a lot of things that can be questioned. the next movie i want to see is puss in boots!

ps: so excited! reason - will go to singapore next week!!!
