L² Comment:

A very interesting and funny film. Love the way how the story is actually presented. From a tiny clue lead from one to another and the whole story is chained up. Heard that they are going to film The Hangover 2, but don't really think its a good idea. If the sequel is not good, then it might spoilt the impression of the first one. You know, some movies are better leave in one

Uma Thurman is the main reason i went for this film, this is exactly those poison ivy kind of character she's good at :) Her beautiful eye is breath-taking. Though she does not appear much but enough to make you remember her appearance. The story is kinda nice, but i'm not sure whether it follow the original novel or not.

Greek's God and Mythic Creatures are always the fancy kind of thing that i like. And all the actors and actresses are cute :) seriously, look at logan and u jst feel like pinching his cheeks~

Hmm~ seriously, i fall asleep in the cinema. Am i too tired? No, i don't think so... the story is pretty pretty lame and boring. Its only talk about how the werewolf transform and nothing else. But at least the make up is not bad for the werewolf.
