Once again I did it. I did an insanely mad thing today. I watched 4 movies in a row. And once again the only person mad enough to do it with me was Shanny(who else). Seriously I can find no one else who wld willing accompany me thru 4 films. For a normal person, 2 is usually the max.

Anyways, this is the list of movies we caught.

1. Chronicles of Riddick
2. Breaking News
3. Undead
4. Home on the Range

Chronicles of Riddick is a rubbish film with no plot, only numeral scenes of muscle flexing and mindless battles.

Breaking News is alright, just that the whole movie was about a game of block-catching between the bad guys and the good guys. I think almost the whole show was scenes of the apartment block and how ppl ran about tryin to shoot each other off.

We watched Breaking News at Lido, and it was supposed to end around 5.05pm so we can rush to Cineleisure in time to catch Undead which airs at 5.10pm. So that gives us only 5 minutes travelling time. But lo and behold, we were so engrossed in watching the bad guy die, that when the show ended, it was 5.17pm! Me and Shanny began to panick, and we started running out of the theatre before the show really ended. We ran all the way out, down the 2 extremely long Lido escalators. And while running down the escalator we had to break up a young couple who were about to hug and get close to each other. They were so pissed I heard the guy said: "Please dont run on the escalators." Yeah right and please dont make out on the escalators. So anyways as I was saying we ran, ran, and ran. Past the underpass down Scotts Road, past Wisma and the biggg centralised fish tank, past Taka, past Mandarin hotel and the Indian bellboy, and finally, finally, reached Cineleisure.

So we finally got settled down in our seats, hot, sweating, and panting. And the first scene I saw was a zombie punching out this old lady's brains, grabbing it out and eating it whole, with all the blood dripping and smeared all over its face. Oh wow. The whole Undead show so totally threw me off guard. I was expecting a good scare, but I found myself laughin at the lamity(self-created word) of the whole film. I have concluded that all NC-16 shows are weird(Esp Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Farenheit 9/11).

Finally, Home on the Range. Well, nothing much to comment about this show, since my butt was quite numb from sitting thru all the shows, I couldnt really think properly anymore. It was an okay show.

All in all, it was a hectic day. And I am awaiting another mad day where I can break my own record of 4 movies in a row.

Just wait and see.

Impossible is nothing.
