How e fuck did my frugal movie weekend turn into a citation orgy?!? First i was cited for parking too near a fire hydrant, then i was "ambushed" by this sneaky son of a fuck INSIDE e parking lot of McDonalds, for a seat belt violation, and if tts not enough, i was fined for illegal parking in buff cove while i'm still in my bloody car! Can life be gracious enugh to cut this pathetic soul some slack?!? I'm juz minding my own biz, staying out of everyone's way, a broken man seeking placidity in solitude, so why is there a need to kick dirt into e face of someone already on his knees?

And as if to add insult to injuries, all e 3 movies watched were way below expectation.

88 Minutes - I can't believe Al Pacino actually agreed to take on this role. I believe he's e only reason why ppl(this includes me) r willing to spend 88 mins of their life to watch this mediocre movie.
Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay – This spin-off from their previous film Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle seemed to pale when compared to its predecessor. Perhaps its due to my hyped up expectation, or maybe its due to e fact tt having watched their first movie made its 2nd sequence all too predictable.
The Forbidden Kingdom – This movie is a joke! Come on lah first we have a karate-kid like character tt stuck out like a sore thumb throughout e entire movie, then have an old fart well into his fifties acting out a role he did in his twenties(drunken master), finally we have a martial arts star that vowed never to be involved in another kungfu flick(didn’t he stressed tt fearless will be his last martial arts movie?), only to eat his own words to hop around happily in a retarded monkey suit, weakened by e almighty Hollywood dollars…Dear jet li(wad kinda weird name is tt anyway? Y wld someone wanna b named after a vehicle???…though it’ll b really interesting if I come across someone called train tan, boat hong or helicopter phua) I hope u will nt use cheap gimmicks to boost ticket sales again by proclaiming to e world tt wadever is gonna b ur LAST wadever movie. Its juz plain low down loh. Anyway I trust tt we wun b fooled twice. Ok enugh said abt e cast, we'll move on to the ridiculous movie plot. Lust for profits n e passion for making mediocre movies r obviously e only 2 things e producers had in mind. Its an insult to both e karate-kid fans n crotching tiger hidden dragon diehards. Someone has to smack e naivety off e face of e producer. If ur goal is to produce a movie tt u foolishly imagine cld conjugate 2 very different crowd by piecing together a film from 2 totally different galaxies, i'd like u or u guys to noe tt ur miserable effort have without a doubt failed miserably. What u've managed to achieve however is e disgust from movie goers both in e states n i believe asia. I felt so bad, almost guilty for being asian, after witnessing e unbelievable expression written on e face of e movie audience. E only consolation from this movie i believe, is seeing cute Liu Yifei debuting on e big screen
