Cicak-man (Shorten)

"Up for Cicak-man?" E asked on Tuesday afternoon.

"Ohhh! Where? When??" i excitedly replied

Now, assuming u know the local movie has a storyline very similar to Spiderman,... don't stare at me like i've got three heads!!!

I've only got two heads la. Thats why I can never make up my mind.

So we went for the movie.

Wasn't bad at all. Movie's set in this cold climate metropolitan called Metrofulus (pronounce it with Bahasa Baku! Haha) with un-KL like buildings, i wondered where they filmed the movie. To film it in the UK would be impossible...

Was impressive. Movie's a little stupid. But not VERY stupid.

The part i laughed most was when main character cant stop making lizard noises! (Cicak means lizard in the Malay language)

Only when the credits rolled in the end did they show scenes of how the movie was filmed. Mostly very realistic computer generated 3D animations, really convincing. Everything must have been shot in the studio, hence the good sound system (u know, no foreign buzzing sounds that aren't part of the movie)

The script's alright and English subtitles are not direct translations.(No, i was not reading it all the way, i just read it at the beginning before i adjusted to listening to Malay)

I don't regret the RM22.00 (my treat) spent on a pair of tickets purchased at public holiday rate.

Trust me, i almost NEVER pay more than the RM6 student price even for western movies.

Cicak-man is still showing in Midvalley.
