Read the fine print

Mike is off this weekend and on these rare occasions we try and go out (for the sake of our utterly nonexistent social life). Going out usually means movies...so anyway...I feel a bit cheated with what we saw. Note to self, next time you go watch a movie, don't forget to read the fine print. I will unabashedly admit that the reason I went to see this movie is because it starred Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon *cheesy grin*. The first 15 minutes of the film and I wanted to go home but Mike was enjoying the film... It was a copy of Internal Affairs, a movie I really really liked. It was so disappointing because the whole time I was watching I just felt cheated. Coming home I looked at the summary of the movie and there buried amongst the story and plot line was *remake of the 2002 Hong Kong hit film* Dang... If I didn't see Internal Affairs I would've probably enjoyed this film but as it goes I have seen the original and there's just no comparison. The ending's been changed too to suit American ideals. *Booo hiss hiss* The saving grace I thought was Leonardo's (yes we're on a first name basis here) performance. He was good and I don't even like him. I really like The Godfather, too bad Martin Scorsese had no other scripts and had to copy off another chinese cult film. Tsk.
