A Day of Marathoning..

當大家見到標題「馬拉松」三個字, 係唔係好驚訝?? 不過馬拉松可以係做其他嘢, 唔一定係跑嘅, 都話咗我too heavy to run啦.. 其實我只不過係馬拉松式睇電影同舞台劇咋, 哈哈!! 話說我買咗禮拜六兩場戲嘅戲飛後, 朋友就Whatsapp我話有舞台劇門票, 問我有冇興趣.. 嘩, 唔駛錢又就到時間, 當然即刻應承啦!! 結果, 2:10pm睇咗《Fast & Furious 7》, 散場後去屙咗篤尿, 4:50pm繼續是日第二部戲《The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel》.. 散場後咋咋臨食咗晚餐, 就驅車直去市中心The Temple of Fine Arts, 8:30pm睇舞台劇《喝彩》.. 一日兩部電影加一套舞台劇, 都唔記得以前後生時做過咁瘋狂嘅事, 反而臨老竟然如此喪到冇朋友!! 哈哈~~ xD 如果有興趣知道我的觀後感, 請按以下各別標題.. Fast & Furious 7 去到第七集, 其實劇情都算得上係公式化了, 睇嘅係動作場面.. 而呢一集之所以咁賣座, 相信唔多唔少係衝著已逝世嘅Paul Walker而嚟.. 全場當然冇冷場, 又不至於有驚喜.. 但係最後特別為紀念Paul而拍嘅一幕, 加上首《See You Again》(我其實喜歡Charlie Puth獨唱版本多過Wiz Khalifa raps and features Charlie Puth版本), 確係帶有感動.. The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel 聽講有上一集, 但係冇印象有睇過.. 會入場睇係因為之前睇過預告, 對於以印度為背景嘅情節同眾多老戲骨嘅參演而感到興趣.. 唔係一般嘅大路商業片, 而係刻畫劇中各主人翁嘅感情為主, 幸好手法唔會令人瞓得著.. :p 喝彩 由香港著名導演高志森監導, 帶過嚟吉隆坡公演嘅舞台劇.. 以張國榮, 陳百強同鍾保羅為藍本, 描敘三位好朋友嘅成長際遇.. 兩個半小時唱咗張國榮同陳百強40幾首經典歌曲, 雖然主角們唱得係平實無奇, 之不過首首自己年代嘅經典一一湧現, 係聽覺上嘅享受.. 好掛住呢兩顆明星..

were you a little surprised when you saw "marathon" in the title?? but marathon can mean many thing and not just running, i've already said i'm too heavy to run, right?? so the "marathoning" i mean today is actually watching movies and musical play back to back, haha!! it was after i have bought the tickets for two movies on last saturday, a friend Whatsapp me saying she has got extra tickets for a play and asked if i would be interested to watch.. hey, free tickets and i could make it, so why not?? and hence on saturday, "Fast & Furious 7" at 2:10pm, later after a loo break, "The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" at 4:50pm.. and then after a quick dinner, drove to the Temple of Fine Arts in Brickfields to watch the musical play "Shooting Star" (喝彩) at 8:30pm.. two movies and a musical play back to back in one day, i don't remember i did something so crazy when i was still young, but i am doing it at this "age of uncle" instead, muahahaha~~ xD click on the titles below if you wish to read my brief review of the movies and play.. Fast & Furious 7 already the 7th installment and i find the storyline is already quite constant, what we watch are the action scenes really.. what probably make this installment a big hit worldwide, could be the departed Paul Walker.. very packed up the entire movie though nothing really surprises, but i would say the ending part made especially for Paul and the song "See You Again" (i actually prefer Charlie Puth's solo version than the one Wiz Khalifa raps and features Charlie Puth singing) got my eyes a little teary.. The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel i heard this is the second in the series but i have no idea i have watched the first one before.. what made me bought the ticket was the trailer i watched earlier, seeing the Bollywood background with many good English actors.. it's not a mainstream commercial movie, but rather focus on the relationships between the groups of actors, lucky is that the way it is made didn't not make me fell asleep.. :p Shooting Stars a musical play by HK renown director Clifton Ko brought to perform in KL.. based on Leslie Cheung, Danny Chan and Paul Chung, it tells the story of these three close friends, from growing up to stardom and how they faced the challenges of life.. over 40 songs from Leslie and Danny's classics were sung in the 2.5-hour play, though singing from the young actors may be mediocre, the songs of my era heard one after another was indeed making the play an enjoyable one.. i miss both of the fallen stars a lot..
