Expendables

Well, wag maalala, pafiller lang to. hehe Wala ako masulat pang iba kasi sa sobrang busy, 3 weeks ka ba naman 5:30pm ang uwi, mababaliw na ko. hehe Ok lang kung ang work eh medyo madali but for these past weeks? Sobrang toxic, not because of the role, pero queuing. Akalain mo naman, wala na upuan at station, kinain na ng ibang dept?!

Ayun isa isa kaming log out o VL without pay, diyos ko. Pano na. hehe

Pano pala ako napunta dun, anyway, one night after a long day of despair sa queue, I decided to watch the Expendables. The new film from Sly with an all star action cast, from Jason, Jet, Couture, Dolph, Rourke, with Terry Crews and cameo from Arny and John Mcclaine este Bruce Willis pala. hehe

Well, the story is simple, bunch of retired soldiers became mercenaries tapos may isang mission sila na napagtripan ni Sly kasi naawa siya sa babae. That girl is the general's daughter of a mexico like nation run by a CIA agent/drug lord played by brother of Julia, Eric Roberts. Henchmen siyempre, stone cold Steve Austin tapos ang Kenshiro na Fist of the North Star live version, Gary Daniels na lumaki lalo ang katawan nun tumanda. Pero deadly pa din. hehe

Siyempre, ayaw kasama nila Sly yun expendables kasi it's his mission daw, thanks to the drama acting of Rourke, so he decided to fly back alone. Sumama si Jet Li tapos etong si Dolph nagtraydor ng kaunti, ayun hinabol sila Sly and Jet pero in the end, tumulong na si Dolph. Warfreak kasi si Dolph kaya nung una, tinanggal siya. hehe

Pagboard sa plane, ayun sumama na sila kay Sly because friend silang lahat. hehe

Then they invade Vilena country,blow everything apart, sapakan dun, patayan diyan, VS kuno diyan, then after all those mayhem, the country was saved and they just go back to the tatoo shop for some knives fun.. hehe

The film itself like other film sites or blogs, indeed pang macho ang dating talaga. Lalo na kung nakabuo ka ng ganun cast, grabe, iba yun action. hehe Saka maganda dun, balance naman sila lahat. Unang scene pa lang panalo na di ba, tanggal ang katawan tapos patay lahat, walang kahirap hirap sa kanila. Dapat ganun ang SWAT team natin! hehe

Ok din naman ang roles nila, except for Jet Li, wala masyadong dialogue, parang patas lang siya with Austin and Daniels. hehe Saka maganda action agad, wala na masyado daldalan, lalo naman kung ganun lang ang concept, b-movie with A list stars. hehe

In fairness kay Sly, galing niya bumaril, akalain mo yun 60 na, ganun pa din bumaril? hehe Saka iniba niya papel niya dun kaysa kay Rambo. Kaunti lang.

Siyempre, may downs din. And like all others who has complaints, the number one complain is di masyado violent. Siguro kaya tone down yun film eh parang malaki yun market ng film pero sa quality, medyo bumaba. I still like Rambo 4 kahit si Sly lang ang artista dun. Brutal eh. hehe Dapat dito sana consistent siya, pero well, mas malaki ata kinita nito than Rambo 4, so tama lang din. Pero iba quality pag brutal din to.

Two is short. Mas short pa siya sa Rambo 4 or talagang hanggang dun na lang kaya niya ata, around 93 or 95 mins? Hmmmmm

Pero short talaga kasi after this scene yun agad. Like after yun naambush yun si Sly and Jet, lipad agad sa mansion. Ayos. hehe Action scenes lalo na sa dulo medyo dragging, saka medyo halata na kailangan lahat sila may action move. hehe From Randy to Terry Crews, pati ata sa action kailangan balance eh. hehe Which sana di ganun, sana ginawa niya eh more scenes from Jason, Sly and Jet, pero sa huli, kaunti lang, marami siyempre yun director. hehe Kung pinahaba sana at malamang maganda lalo yun action scenes for each one of them.

Three, siyempre yun story, medyo madali naman. I know yun purpose na b-movie na to pero sana naman, medyo may twist ok? =)

But overall, pwede na. Kakaenjoy saka astig silang lahat. Sila Igz and Doc gusto yun shotgun ni Terry Crews. hehe Ewan ko si Rheg sino trip niya, ako si Jason, astig yun story niya. Silent pero deadly. hehe

Pero mas sulit siya sa 150 at kasama pa ang CRAP. Yun sa Greenbelt 3, 200, di eh. Pero marami naman magagandang tanawin dun. hahahaha

Well, lesson? Ah sometimes, they need to make it free to serve especially for the good of many. Tama?

I can't wait for RED, sila Bruce, Morgan, John Malkovich, Mary louise Parker and my fave Hellen Mirren with a machine gun. Bloody Great!!!!!!

Di ko alam bakit theme ng movies this year is just bunch of guys and girls want to be mercenaries.. Damn.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World ba papalabas dito? =)
