You know, I was the one who was laughing in the middle of the first fighting scenes with the samurai, when BabyDoll was using her powers. I was the one who was telling myself that this has got to be a sucky movie. It was what I first thought. Then…. whoa… I LOVE THIS MOVIE SUCKER PUNCH.

Okay it was not only the girls, but yes, Emily Browning (Baby Doll) is so small for her size, but that’s what makes her BabyDoll in this movie. Of course, Jamie Chung (Amber) was the only other reason I watch this movie. Well, that was what I thought so. Here’s the sypnosis of how the movie went.

Baby Doll was captured and forcefully sent to a place by her stepfather where they kept girls and train them so they could entertain their clients and hopefully be bought by the clients. It was here she met the rest of the cast which includes Amber (Jamie Chung) and co. Vanessa Hudgens as Blondie hardly play a role in this movie as she was not fit for this kind of movie, so I guess I could leave her out.

To spare you guy the details, I was at first thinking that this was a fantasy movie, only to find it wasn’t. Well sort of. I was thinking how the heck did Baby Doll transported herself into another world only to realized it was not but only a fantasy in her mind while she danced (they didn’t show the way she danced… BOO). Of course, the captives were mesmerized and from that illusion/fantasy she thought of escaping this crappy place they were kept at.

Then the story goes from there and whenever she would be dancing, we were all brought to the scene where there are robot and dragon fighting. Amidst all the fantasy, the fantasy world was shown instead because I bet that they would want this movie to be viewable by all audience. Imagine Baby Doll doing the slutty sexy dance moves and then we will have all the guys hooked up on the movie. Ahahaha!!

So after all those fantasies, it was after all a mission to get out of the place and the fantasies depicts what goes in Baby Doll’s mind while executing the plan. So instead of watching real life plans being done, we were shown fantasy. The ending kind of sad though (not gonna tell you why) but one thing this movie taught me was, “You can escape as you have the weapons”. So no matter how hard it is something is, if you have the tools and the ideas, you will be able to solve it.

Of course, how the heck I got to watch this movie? Once again, Nuffnang with their generosity gave me the chance to watch this movie due to a blog post written previously on this blog. Well, I sure love this movie SUCKER PUNCH more than I AM NUMBER FOUR. WEIRD!!!!! No it is not. Sucker Punch has a better written story compared to Number Four which only acts like super hero movie with the lame Twilight storyline.

Thank you once again Nuffnang. Also thank you in advance for the next movie which made me happy, HOP! The bunny with the candy poop. LOL

After all those flicks and movies and theaters about the male dominant movies with their rail guns, M16 and the bombs and explosives and sweat, it’s time for some relaxing group of female firepower back into the movie. Yes, Sucker Punch is here to come and what a way for a title for a movie. Definitely a chick flick and what the heck is a sucker punch? Ahahaha… You punched the life out of a sucker?

Well, the story revolves around Babydoll (Emily Browning). Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four other young girls—the outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), the street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), the fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung) and the reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish)—to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorski (Carla Gugino) and the High Roller (Jon Hamm). Of course, now this is where I come in.

The story now revolves around Daniel Takeshi (Daniel Chew) who is stuck alongside Babydoll and the other girls who were held against their will. Strange enough, I think with my martial art skills and talent, this will be a simple knock in the butt for me. Now with Amber (the fierce one) alongside the multi-talented Daniel Takeshi (me… definitely); sorry Babydoll, guess this time you’re not the main lead, it’s time to break through by using both brain and guts and talent.

The Hot Amber (Jamie Chung)

Hold on maybe Babydoll has some uses after all. Since she could throw sucker punches to those suckers who kept us against our will. Not your average daily life, this Sucker Punch will be a hell of a hilarious movie.

Power of the Sucker Punch

Now who says Sucker Punches aren’t strong. No pun intended

In truth the only character with a decent name is Amber. The rest have oh so crappy names like Blondie, Sweet Pea, Rocket, it makes you think that this is a cheapo lousy movie, but nevermind, at least there’s Amber. Hahahaha…

Additional Notes: In case some of you thought that Jamie Chung is a tad bit familiar, she was Chi Chi in Dragon Ball: Evolution and also as Takara in the well known game called Red Alert 3.

I was in Times Square. Lo and behold, I got greeted by maids. They were giving me Nips Chocolate. I was wondering what was happening? Well, of course I know.

I am at the Comic Fiesta 2010. Compared to the first time I’ve gone to a cosplay event, this is the 2nd time out of nearly 8 years. Yes, what a super long time.

As usual, there are cosplayers everywhere. I was lucky to shoot some that caught my eye. Using alternately the 50mm Nikkor and the 10-20mm Sigma lenses, I caught a few shots to be shown here. This next photo caught my eye.

What anime is this? Cat ears? Pink dress? Long yellow locks? I ain’t sure but this cosplayer got my attention to take those photos.

What more, she was lying down. Only problem was, I was using 50mm thus couldn’t capture the whole thing properly. How I took this photo? I went down as low as her. It would have been nicer if she had looked at my camera instead.

There are also cosplay where guys took part also. Understandably, usually they don’t stand out. Female cosplayers do. Now where’s my Mai Shiranui??? Hohohoho!!

I am the Star Wars Trooper. You are no match for me pitiful humans.

NEXT!!

As usual, there are so many animes and mangas with maid costumes, sometimes I don’t know which anime they are from. I guessed I need help from the more active otakus (manga & anime kakis)  out there.

Of course, other than cosplayers, there are also figurines that are being showcased there. Since with low lighting and no usage of flash on the figurine models, I have to make do with what I have.

Strange and weird. Of course not all turned out like that.

Love this shot. Now all I need is a different set of lens.

Back to cosplayers that really meant what they wanted to present. A group of them.

WHAT ANIME is THIS? Can someone help me??? So which is the cuter one?

More shots. Too bad I can’t get their whole attention.Of course, sometimes, I wished I could be like them, dressing anyway we wanted. It’s like releasing their stress on dressing up.

One of the sexy ones around there. A sexy devilish girl. Though the thought of seeing something like this on a girl is kind of rare in Malaysia. Definitely cool props and outfit.

Now which anime is this too? Wearing a corset and a wig. One of the most elegant cosplayer out there on that day. When there’s a devil there’s bound to be an angel.

So Angel we shall. Love the lightings on this. Too bad I only have a 50mm lens. Time to save money for Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8. It is sad because only armed with a sharp lens at a range of only 50mm, it sure is hard to take full body photos. This is the best I could do though.

A witch cosplayer. Wonder what manga or anime she is from? I am still clueless. To top it all off, we now have the photo of the volunteer group.

The 3 Nips Maid and 2 game cosplayers. Yes, the one in orange is superbly tall. Should be a good choice for Ichitaka. Hohoho…

Finally after looking at most of the cosplays I could finally recognize one. Reason: It’s final fantasy. One of my favorite all time RPG games.

Presenting Yuna of Final Fantasy X. Of all the cosplayers there, I think this is the cutest of them lot. Some crazy experience in this Comic Fiesta was when I witnessed a few cosplays which are girl characters but the one cosplaying them are guys. Now try to imagine, a big burly man cosplaying as Sailormoon. Now do you get what I mean? Gone is your appetite!!

Then I met Rukawa, a character from Slamdunk. Too bad this Rukawa didn’t really get the full costume. What a shame. I can tell you, Rukawa Kaede looks superbly stunning and at a loss for words. Don’t believe me, have a look at the photo displayed below.

GO GO GO RUKAWA!!!!!

AHAHAHAHAHHA!!! Time to disappear!

I still remember the scene when I ran on the Penang Bridge. It was 330am and I was running on the bridge and the rain was pouring. If you don’t get what I mean, please refer to this post about my run in Penang 21km.

These are the victory poses to commemorate the memory once more.

The 2 Macho Guys Kyuzo and The Weird One (Daniel) that ran the wet grueling 21km in Penang Bridge Run. We are both proud to finally complete this run.

So proud that we just have to had a bite of it. Solid….

I guessed as always, this blog isn’t me if I don’t do what I always do best. I love to pose my cool pose.

Thank you Sook Mei for the photos. I love the photos you sent. PBIM 2011, look out for me to conquer you again. I am going to be running the 42km next.
