hitman the movie

After playing the game though never completing it I was excited to learn only just recently that there's a movie coming out. Ok lets get the obvious out of the way, there's a lot of shooting, a lot of blood, some swearing and a few adult scenes though largely censored in the cinema.

If you like that game it would be easier to follow the movie although the story does not follow the game strictly but it uses elements from the game to form an ok movie. Yeah i said ok. I was not sure what to expect with the movie, i guess i was not disappointed at the same time it was not wowed either.

There are a few reviews around so as usual i will not try to write a review however I would just highlight some parts of it I found interesting. For one, 47 has a soft side. That is something you will not find in the game. In the games he's more focused having no family except the padre that was kidnapped, in hitman contracts. In this movie there's a girl and i'm not sure what her role was suppose to be in the movie but she made 47 have a soft side, stopping him from killing inspector Michael and for some reason her tattoo created some kind of bond being tattooed himself at the back of his head.

47 was contracted to kill this guy and he did but somehow it turned out to be s set up that saw interpol and the FSB looking for him. There was a witness to the assassination and thats where the girl comes in. Mr B who hired 47 and then framed him had a secret that only 47 and the girl knew about so it was no surprise that he wanted them dead but if the actor died there wouldn't be much of a movie now would there? I liked the way the movie progressed once the plot has been layed out.

But beyond the seriousness there were moments of humour and like all new movies these days i could spot at least one sonyericsson phone being used.

Overall it was a nice movie minus the violence. A solid 3.5 over 5.

quicky update

Just a quick update. The past few days has been quite busy, packing and all. I didnt realise i have so much stuff until its time to move. Oh well everything should be settled by tomorrow. At the moment my stuff is scattered all over the room. My roommate left this morning, two of my housemates followed suit so its just three of us left.

Relentless has been quite good so far, but my heart is not really here. ;)

110

110 was my seat number for my last exam of 2007, my first exam in Curtin, the toughest of them all but its over now. Now i can breathe easy at least for a while.

The paper was surprising, was 17 pages long and felt heavy. The sheer volume of it made finishing a challenge and many of us didn't manage to finish yet in this kind of situation there were at least two people who left the hall very early. I guess they were more prepared than the rest of us.

So what now? Well there's relentless and then i'll be off to kuching. Can't wait.

facebook

I've noticed more and more people are moving over to facebook. I recently got an account there, well actually i had an account before but there were some issues with it and i got another one. Anyway is facebook the new friendster? Or is facebook friendster+myspace+hi5.

Speaking of hi5 i recently deleted my account there. Things were getting too messy, I keep getting invitations from people i dont know.

Anyway, i have my last two papers this week. Really dont know how its going to go but i just hope they're not too difficult.

Ok thats enough for one day, i'm going to bed. Please pray for my exams ;)
