my ambivalent attitude

Wednesday, March 01, 2006

I couldn't help catching a movie at $7.00 on a weekday. After enjoying a rejuvenating dip in the pool at Jurong East Sports Complex and relishing moments of solitude musing over the scholarship applications, I made my way into JP GV theatre. Has been long since I went for a horror movie; the last one was like Shutter I think. Anyway, Final Destination 3 has been conceptualised much the same manner as that of FD. (I didn't watch FD2 but I suppose it's similar.) Initiated by a premonition, leading to the people who survived dying one after another.

I guess the kind of reactions and responses elicited by the movie can be categorised into 2 extreme groups. Either you laugh your hearts out at the different whimsical ways of dying, like the JC student sitting in front of me, or you freak out at the gory bloody scenes, like me.
