the kingdom rocks

i love it. i can’t get enough of it.it’s entertaining.it’s a well written one.it’s now in my list of movies i can watch over and over.

i’ve actually been meaning to watch it since the cinemas started screening it. i just never really get around to doing it until 2 days ago on dvd. i can’t make excuses like "i’m busy" and all that crap because looking back, i’d fail the test/ standard for calling or labeling someone as busy. i remember advocating it to my friends and not so friends; i’ve emphatically said " you have to watch it.i heard it’s amazing" even before i watched it. crazy i know but when joey says it’s good then i believe it like the word of God and advertise it to people i know whenever i get the chance ( movie producers should seriously start paying for marketing their product ).

i won’t start narrating what the story is about because anyone can google the synopsis for this or just rent a dvd or buy a pirated one, whatever you know. the thing that amazes me about this movie is that it had so much real emotions.it’s supposed to be an action movie. it is. the first scenes were like explosions and firing all over the place. in the progression of the movie there were so much blood and killing. it’s a serious movie no doubt but it gave those few moments when you just laugh at the conversation happening, some pretty funny situations too like when the arab col was trying to explain to jennifer garner how they tried to give her privacy by putting a wall divider ( the nbi team was housed in a gym ) and that given she’s a girl they tried to look for something pink and they just couldn’t. the most interesting thing i suppose was how powerful the movie was in the emphasizing how in a conflict people what ever race they belong to, which side they come from do value life, do put premium on the same things and feel for the same things, that friendships transcend culture and race. it’s beautiful how this movie juxtaposed what joey termed as the human side of racial/ideological clashes. at the end of the movie you just couldn’t take a side.it educates you. that’s what films should be about aside from being entertaining.
