the movie rule#1, is a horror show about how two (only) cops from the police miscellaneous department come together to solve mystery cases that are not defined as natural or scientifically solvable.
and i tell you, it scares the shit outta you. you may relate rule's scariness to shutter and say, how can any horror show be scarier than shutter? oh man, you're wrong. the whole movie's plot, sound and directing just comes together seamlessly. it leads you into the movie bit by bit...scene by scene... building up the terror, the anticipation into a climax that will (i swear) give your heart something to run for.
other than just being the plain old BOOYA! and the im-the-scary-banshee-climbing-out 'norms', rule gives a rich and rather twisty plot. its not one of those shows that you just sit there and let the cg effects scare you. oh no no no...its far more torturous. the movie requires one to really understand and take in all the details so that you'll understand the ending and how the plot develops. and (i think) thats what they want you to do, to open your eyes up, lap up all the details leading up to the horror, and even when you know you're going to expect a BOO! you cant help but continue staring. and you'll really get booed.
for me? i didnt really understand the ending though...(haha, no spoilers here) but i attribute it to hiding half my face in darls shoulder for half the movie. lols. darls watched it all, and he understood the ending. or maybe im just dumb. :s
because its a special preview movie, and the objective was to promote (??) the movie, after the screening, the director (!!) came down to the front of the cinema to start an interactive session with the audience. of which i think mostly consisted of bloggers and some media. and well, questions were fired and answers were revealed. it was very very interesting to hear the director answering all the questions! it took about 30 mins, and it felt like a bonus behind-the-scenes sneek peek! from the reasons for hong kong as a filming destination to the very terrifying sound effects, this is definitely the best movie screening i've ever been to. and its with darls~ :D shook hands with the director of rule#1!! he's also the director of 'the maid'. awesome!
anyway, today was THE brilliant day. loads of very happy stuff happened... and people, olivia's long hair is GONE!! now its like, shoulder length hair. straight cut at the bottom. wow. i didnt think i would look nice...but hey, darls and jo and ma and pa said it looked great! so yeah. haha... went to STORM by Monsoon at jurong point to cut it. its not like i go there for every hair cut, so i guess its ok to splurge abit on my hair once in a while. (: and im LOVIN' IT!! whoo!
baby today was brilliantly wonderfully fabulously great!! thank you for inviting me to watch with you, and thank you for all today (: and cheers to many good days to come (: i hearts you very very much!
