Just watched Huo Yuanjia just now with Vincent, Aiman, Pang Boon and Jason (hope I got his name right...quiet guy..at least for tonight lah).
It was EXCELLENT!
Been such a long time since I'd watched a good kungfu show! I'm so glad Jet Li decided to do this show! I mean, compared to all the previous Hollywood crap that he starred in, this show brought him back to his original roots as a Chinese wushu exponent! I mean, seeing him with his pigtail, and the Chinese robes with the Mandarin collars just reminds me for his Wong Fei Hong, Fang Shi Yu days!
He really acted really well, and portrayed the character of Huo Yuanjia really well! From reckless, only-concerned-with-becoming-the-best-in-Tianjin, to a calm, composed wushu practitioner in the end...Jet Li did it all very well.
I loved the bone-crunching (and this I mean LITERALLY) action, and the cool weapon fighting scenes (reminded me of my Soul Caliber 3)! Definitely money well-spent...everyone should go and catch it too! Don't miss it ok? No matter what the reviews say...if you like a good kungfu flick, this is about as good as it gets! I mean, not Jackie Chan, comical kungfu, but TRUE Jet Li (李连杰) style fighting! Absolutely riveting!
I enjoyed my Chinese New Year this year...spent some time with new friends, and gambled a bit, and actually won a little...so not that bad lor. Haha...still believe that I should not gamble...just not cut out for it lah...did enjoy my mahjong game though...won $7. Haha...small win, small win...
I really should get to sleep now...tomorrow must get to Aunt May's place for lunch...think I confirm will be late...hahaha..
Night!
