i caught mr. & mrs. smith on free tv last weekend. i have to say that i was quite entertained. though it got me thinking, what the hell happened to doug liman between this film, the bourne series and then he going out to make jumper?

~~~

i think it's kind of ironic and funny that vince vaughn was in this film as john smith's (pitt) close associate.

~~~

it's also cool that i tank is wearing a fight club shirt when he was being interrogated by the smiths.

~~~

props to angelina jolie for always looking gorgeous.

the assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford

x: long, dragging and boring
#: the last 20 minutes of the movie; affleck in the last act

it's interesting, at least for me, to learn that i was born on the day that jesse james died.

the bucket list

x: i wished they have a longer list with more interesting things to do
#: freeman and nicholson on screen rapore; glad that sean hayes (jack in will & grace) is not gay; slimy edward cole

6.5/10

happiness is overrated.

i love talikodgenic girls... as long as they're not facing me.

~~~

i once said that chivalry is dead. true. but a new chivalry is now emerging. and it is most prevalent in public transportaion, i.e. the mrt. i dub this new animal selective chivalry.

~~~

i bet you most of the talikodgenic girls prowling the metro are victims of the selective chivalry beast.
