At the Movies with WC - Sunday, April 24, 2005 at 10:28 AM

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to another episode of "At The Movies with WC". Tonight, we're going to give you an exclusive review on the movie "Infection", and remember, you heard it first, here on "At the Movies with WC"

Infection is about a run-down hospital, somewhere in Japan, that is haunted. Actually, the hospital looks more like a sleazy geylang 20 dollar a night hotel. Not that i've been to one before. Or even know the price of a room. ANYWAY.... the hospital is on the verge of closing down and is seriously understaffed. Dr Akiba, Dr Auzomi, a few other doctors and a small crew of nurses are what's left of the hospital staff. The crew has decided to push on until the last of its patients are discharged.

So, one fateful night, an emergency operation/procedure/whatever was carried out on a burnt patient, who is wrapped up in bandages and has been recuperating or in a coma for some time in the hospital. Apparently he fell out of the bed and was on the verge of death. Then, the cock-up occured. A nurse put in sodium chlorate in one of his tubes instead of sodium chloride (Puts a whole new meaning to adding salt to the wound. *Canned laughter*). The guy dies. After discussing it for a while, they decided to cover up the murder. That's when the fun starts. I mean for the audience.

Weird stuff started to happen. Basically, the victim of this "so-called" infection acts crazy, his organs will then liquefy into a green mess, and eventually he'll die. So the infection hits everyone in the hospital and everyone dies. Oops, did i forget to add in a "Warning: spoilers ahead!" at the front of this entry?

Anyway, up to this point, i'm not even sorry for not putting up the warning. I'm probably doing you a favour. In plain, this show sucked. It sucked so bad, i'd rather watch a steven stegal show... twice over. It was promising at the start, but i got totally lost in the middle, and the ending... just didn't tie up the loose ends.

Was it scary? Let's just say, i slept peacefully on that very night. Gao may disagree with me. In his words, I "grabbed his arm like his ex-girlfren did to him at horror movies". Well, I was actually trying to keep the both of us awake. And the sudden jerks, it was my head nodding. And yes, it coincidentally happened during the scary parts. Really.All in all, i give this show 0.5 teletubby out of 5 teletubbies. 0.5 out of 5, cos the show just sucked so much, and teletubbies, cos just like the show, my rating shouldn't make any sense.

Now for the top 3 movies of the month!

At no. 3, we have Be Cool, a comedy starring John Travolta, Uma Thurman and a slew of cameo appearances by the likes of the Black Eyed Peas, Andre Benjamin and Mr Fred Durst. Yes, the frontman of Lame Biscuit. You probably didn't realise cos he didn't have lines. And an amazing 3 seconds screen time. *Applauds*

No.2 is the up and rising Intepreter. Not that I have actually watched it, but Nicole Kidman looks pretty damn good. Er... I mean the show looks pretty damn good! Yeah.. .that's it.

At No.1, is the 2004 flick Garden State. I have watched it, and Natalie Portman is pretty damn good. Er... I mean the show is pretty damn good! The show's about.... argh, go read it yourself: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0333766/
But do yourself a favour and go download it. Download it cos the DVD is a whopping $52.95. And yes, it's pple like me who causes ticket prices to hit the roof. *snigger*

So, that's it for another edition of "At the Movies with WC". Remember to tune in next week, same time same channel for all your... movie goodness. Good Night.
