The Expendables 2...

Last Saturday I went to watch Expendable 2 with my wife...


and I was excited about the show..... 
We manage to get Hall 2 at 1U which is one of the big hall... 
as usual it was full of explosive, gun fighting and kung fu fighting .....
It was too loud for my ears.. coz of all those kaboom,,, bang bang bang ... grrr grrrr grrrrr...

It wasn't something strange to me.. 
After all I grew up watching Sylvestor Stallone movies like Rambo, Bruce Willis for Die Hard, Jean Claude Van Damme for Kickboxer, Jet Li for for Once upon at time in China, Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator, Jason Statham in Transporter  ......
and also Chuck Norris.. opps it was my dad's time.. 


Gee... it really brings back my memories... 
Those movies are a big hit during my time.. no one could have miss it..
in fact I do have some dvd collection on these movies....

After awhile watching the movie.... I feel that it was rather funny......
1 movie and I could have all legendary actors.. and they still could kick some ass...
Do they get these inspiration after watching the Avengers? 
or they have a get together during a MAMAK session and have this idea to come out a reunion movie....
So that the fans still could taste the "First blood" after all these years.....

During the show my wife whisper to me .. it is all grandfather actors... lol...
The most handsome and young actor dies at the beginning stage... and left with all those "OLD" ones..

Well I think the new generation won't be so interesting on these action super gun fighting movies....
They are more interested in comic heroes and .... hey... 
transformer are from my era too........
so what next are going to be a hit? ...... maybe Ultraman ?

    jet li can still be considered the 'baby' of this bunch, right. i think he's in his late 40s, whereas most of the others (stallone, schwarzeneggar) are in this 60s. anyways, even though stallone is more than twice my age, i'm sure that if i tried fighting with him, he'd knock me unconscious in two seconds :D

    The show was probably their first and last to get together like this in a high budget production. So much wrinkles and sagging skin to tell us that we will be like that too!

      I didn't watch this movie, SP.

      My 8 years old followed her ex-nanny's family and went and watched this movie. She said this movie is funny.

      The last movie I watched wast Batman, the dark night arise. I hope I get the name correct. Kekeke!

      Though I did exercise for the last 5 days in the gym, I still feel my waistline is expandable.

      Perhaps, age is catching up, very difficult to lose weight.
