Scott Pilgrim and Chuck Norris

Hanged out with my friends yesterday. It was a sort of Xmas gathering and we had a blast!

We finally watched Scott Pilgrim and felt it was a pretty good movie.

Based on the comic book, the movie starts off with Scott Pilgrim, who plays in a band had his heart broken by his ex-girlfriend, and ends up dating a high-schooler. He later on meets the girl of his dreams, Ramona Flowers and decides to pursue. However, there is one big problem, he has to fight seven evil exes of Ramona before he can date her.

Scott Pilgrim has a sort of typical love story of two people who meet each other,trying forget or leave their past behind and finding it hard to do so (they both have many exes :x). But it is presented like a game. Scott Pilgrim can kick-ass and earn points (coins!) in the game after every fight like an arcade game. The action scenes were very exciting and I like the part where Scott Pilgrim pulls out a Katana from his heart. Hilarious!

Perhaps the reason why it was not shown in Singapore was like my friend described the movie like another movie, "Dude, where's my car?". It is in a genre, for this case, the Gamer/Geek culture. You either get it, like it or you don't.

But for me, I love it. It extremely fun to watch and we all had a good laugh.

Later on, we continued our movie marathon with Logan's War, starring Chuck Norris.

This movie is about a young boy, Logan, who has a sixth sense: He can sense danger. Despite this ability, however, his family still ended up being killed by the mob, leaving him as the sole survivor. His uncle, Chuck Norris, takes him in and trains him with Martial Arts and as an Army Ranger. Logan later on infiltrated the mob and finally fights them, avenging his family.

What I like best about the movie - The Action! The storyline was good, and the action is SUPERB! The main highlight was Chuck Norris DROPKICKING into the windshield of a car at the end of the movie!

Action movie fans should watch his movie. I highly recommend it. :D
