Corpse Bride

Went for a movie with my friends from Uni.

Had a shock when we stepped into the theatre.

It was totally empty!

Thinking that we had entered the wrong theatre, we stepped out and checked the theatre number again.

It was the correct theatre!

And you know what time our movie was supposed to start screening?

5.45pm!

And it's a friday as well!

Hmm... Australians seem not to like going to the movies...

Anyway, the 3 of us went back in and had the luxury of choosing our seats out of hundreds there. It was only when the commercials started screening did we see people coming in. And when the movie started, the theatre had a grand total of....

10 person.

10 person in a theatre that seats 100 plus.

Kinda pathetic, don't you think???

Anyway, back to the movie.

I don't think i'd wanna start on giving a short run through of what the movie is about.
I'll just tell you what i think of it.

For me, i was kinda expecting something like 'Nightmare before Christmas'.

Not that i've watched that film before, but just that i like that characters inside. Same case in point for 'Corpse Bride'. I like the way the characters were done up. And the moodiness of the show appeals to me. I'm a 'dark' person if you'd like to know. Haha..

Okok, continue to what i think of that show.

Frankly, I don't think too highly of this film after watching it. Maybe my expections were too high. But the story line seems quite linear. You can tell what is gonna to happen next and what the ending is gonna be like.

Maybe all movies are like that???

Well, as i've said before, i liked the way the characters are designed as well as the overall 'gloomliness' which is quite befitting of the film. That's the only redeeming feature. Otherwise, everything else pretty much isn't much to see at all. There're some parts that are funny too. You can get a few laughs out of it. But nothing much after that. Pretty boring, you can say. And it's for 78 minutes.

Oh, if you like movies where there'll be singing once and then, you can watch it. But i've never like movies that have characters singing and dancing in it. I feel queasy watching shows that have these elements in it. Maybe i'm biased against movies that have these???

Anyway, for my friends, i would advise you not to watch it. Unless your girlfriends ask you to watch that is... Then you have to obey them. Lol.

Maybe you can watch some better shows instead if you're persuasive enough. Something like 'Kong' or whatever. Get the adrenalin rushing. Whoohoo...

Oh, i'm definitely gonna watch 'Kong'. The trailer's darn cool. Hope the movie doesn't disappoint.
