'the incredible' evening

based on my entry title, perhaps some of u would have already guessed wat im gonna write about huh? yeah, i went to catch the newly released "The Incredible Hulk" with BB (read: not bosom buddy, but BEST buddy - jude, and shin yi) after work.

i did watch the 1st Hulk, with Eric Bana and Jennifer Connelly being the cast. and, i did not have high expectations with this sequel, as they've changed the lead actor for Bruce Banner to Edward Norton. no doubt, he's a brilliant actor (refer to American History X, Italian Job, Red Dragon, Keeping the Faith, Primal Fear.. and the list continues), but i've never imagined him playing this kind of character. he's so skinny, how can he be THE HULK??? (but i always have soft spots for skinny men! hehehehe)

but, i must say, he was not a disappointment. he has put more emotions to both, Bruce Banner and Hulk, as compared to Eric Bana, who looked a bit stiff in the 1st Hulk movie. and, not forgetting, the CGI was much more impressive than the 1st one. on the downside, i thot that this time, the storyline went a bid weird, with another monster in NY city.. haha! reminds me of godzilla...! anyways, back to the point: Mr. Norton was 'incredible', and to be honest, i've been his silent fan for quite some time.. of coz i wanna see more of him in the movie world... and liv tyler looks a bit 'bigger' than i could remember..


"our only hope is something incredible"

next movie in my calendar will be: Sepi - directed by the amazing Khabir Bhatia!
