Game, Set, Match
Hm, the movie category has been languishing lately - 
I haven't really been in the movie-going mood. Anyway the last two films that I caught were New Police Story and Wimbledon (last night).
New Police Story
To summarise: Jackie Chan has aged. That's basically the whole takeaway from this movie. Oh, and Daniel Wu is kinda hot. The stunts were nowhere near to Jackie Chan's usual high standards, and there was too much time spent on his wallowing-in-self-pity mode. How many times do we have to see him sitting in a bar, getting piss-drunk and stumbling and puking his way back home?? We get it, he's devastated by the death of his teammates.
Speaking of which, they killed off the cutest guy in 10 minutes!!! He looks a little like Takeshi Kaneshiro except that he's more slit-eyed. *drool* Now to figure out his name...
Wimbledon
I have to say, Paul Bettany is really growing on me. The more I watch his movies, the more I like him. As for the movie, it was OK. Probably not something I'd pay $8.50 for, but still an enjoyable way to spend a Tuesday night. What is up with the dresses Kirsten Dunst wears in the show though? (Yes, that weird beige dress with flowers that didn't fit her very well.) It's as if they're trying to say tennis players have little to no fashion sense.
In other news, my home computer is in critical condition again. The ambulance is coming round either tonight or tomorrow to pick it up. No more Civ-ing for the time being... Sigh.
I freaking hate computers.
