Crank: High Voltage

Starring: Jason Statham, Amy Smart
Directed by: Mark Neveldine, Brian Taylor

The movie starts right where the first one left off. Chev Chelios, fighting the poison injected to his body to stay alive long enough to exact revenge, finally gets his enemy cornered in a helicopter. The fight led them to drop into a free fall unto the streets, with Chelios' body dropping on a passing car. Suddenly, a couple of guys suddenly swoops in, recovers Chelios' seemingly dead body, and leave before police could get into the scene. Next thing you know, Chelios is being operated on, his heart ripped out of his chest, and was replaced with an electric one. Chelios wakes up, 3 months later, obviously angry and hell bent on recovering his heart! Chaos ensues!

I really liked the first movie as it was over the top, funny, and just freaking violent! Haha! This sequel is THRICE the first! Definitely more over the top, VERY violent, TITS every scene! Hahaha! And I have to say, I liked the movie! I still like the first one better, but this one have its own moments that will surely make you laugh out loud!

It's just pure chaos! Puro kalokohan! I guess if you didn't know what to expect before you watch this movie, you won't like it. Alam ko kasi na puro kalokohan at violence lang kaya naka-set na ang utak ko na not take it seriously! Haha! And I liked it. I just don't know if Che and the others liked it as much as I did! Hehehe!

It's filled with psychadelic camera angles, unusual movie editing, and over the top scenes. Read: casual movie goers will probably not like it. As I've said, you should know what to expect before you watch this movie. It's a homage to videogames kaya over the top yung mga scenes, and lahat puro kalokohan. And the movie was great because it doesn't take itself seriously! Haha! Score:8/10

Che, Pilep, Myk, Malcolm and I watched the movie last Saturday in Trinoma. I wanted to try Che's new product kasi, the Anion Pads. My sis kasi wanted to try it since she heard great things about it. So yun, sinabi ko mag movie night narin. Kaso yun nga, kami lang ang nakapunta. Jem had dinner with her family; Dale was in Puerto Galera; Donna was doing errands; Oninz suddenly couldn't make it... the list goes on. Myk came from work, and Malcolm (Myk's bro) was there since noon because he had a date. Hehe.

A little later, Drey came. He didn't go with us to watch Crank though as he was with Jeff, JL, a friend, and Guia! Guia is a surprise though since she's now staying in the states. Buti naman na she could stay for a year, at nakumpleto na naman ang HS barx ni Drey! :) I think they watched that Zac Efron movie.

Ooohhh, Zac Efron! Hahaha!
