The woman mews
"So, did you like it?" Matt asked as we filed out of the cinema. "So-so," I said. We caught Catwoman yesterday on cheap tickets night. "You?" No reply. I eyed him, he looked kinda dazed. Probably still rerunning scenes in his mind of the Berrylicious Halle. Granted Halle Berry is gorgeous. She and yummy muffin cake Benjamin Bratt are the only thing that saved the show. Halle is a stunner in her tight leather suit with well placed scratched away strips. Her feline sleek curves are to die for. (Dang! I gotta head to the gym more now.) She mimics a cat's moves pretty well, complete with cool, cat swagger on tiny stiletto boots. Heck, in some scenes, you could actually believe her. Story wise, it's a lame pussy. Mousy Patience Philips gets pushed around. She dies. She gets a blast of cat breath. She goes after people who did her in with new fandangled costume and killer nails. I know the action hero story ain't supposed to be rocket science but I can't help comparing it to Spiderman 1 & 2 which kept me cheering for geeky Peter Parker long after the credits rolled. Some thing lacked in Catwoman - or I'm just not a cat person. I nudged Matt, "So what did you think?" "Oh!" he roused from his reverie, "Good! She's good." I can't say the same for Matty boy though. Grrr... | |

I'll paste work here periodically. But none of them will be real client work - just my own initiates and doodling.

awesome ad of the week |
G-Day Coffee TVC. Scene opens on guy trying to slide down a dry water slide. He gets stuck. He finally manages to squeak all the way down. TVC ends with him savouring a mug of G-Day coffee and the tag "Save water for G-Day coffee". A bit unreal but I love the humour. And the talent, the Each Other actor (I forgot his name), is super. He makes it work. |
