The Viral Factor
I think I'm gonna use this "what happened today" format for summer posts.
What Happened today:
- Woke up earlier than usual due to thunderstorm
- Went downstairs
- Billboard top 50 songs with bro on youtube. I discovered a new song: Whistle by Flo Rida :D
- Cooked rice using rice cooker
- Watched 10ish minutes of Men In Black with bro
- Bro went to Safeway to buy chicken for lunch
- I started watching The Viral Factor(Chinese action movie)
- Lunch&continued with The Viral Factor (2 hours and something minutes total)
- Watched a part of Black&White (TW drama)
- Upstairs: computer stuff
- Dinner&Witness Insecurity (HK drama)
- Badminton
- Computer stuff
The Viral Factor was a pretty good movie. Lotssss and I mean LOTSS of action. But there's a storyline though. 2 hours and something minutes was longer than I had expected but it was definitely a good movie.

A version of one of the theatrical release posters.

Release date: January 17, 19, 20(depending on country) 2012.
Languages spoken in the movie: Mandarin, Cantonese, English, and Malaysian
Starring: Jay Chou (Taiwan), Nicholas Tse (Hong Kong), Lin Peng (China), etc.
Budget: HK $200 million (WOW...)
Filming places: 80%-Malaysia. other-Hong Kong, Xi'an, Singapore, Middle East, Vietnam, Jordan
Hugee amount of money spent on this film. With all the guns, explosions, cars, helicopters, ship, etc.
Anddd on top of that, paying two VERY WELL-KNOWN actors. Jay Chou and Nicholas Tse (famous in China, HK, TW for his films).
I'd reallyyyyy recommend you watch it if you have time. here's a little warning: ending isn't exactly the "happily ever after" from Disney and there's like 1 hour and 50 minutes of action out of the 2 hours and something minutes.

In the movie, Jay Chou has a goatee. hehe...
And Nicholas Tse. I knew him before, but this is the first time that I actually watched a movie with him in it. His impression on me in this film: HOT(:
If you actually Google him, ehhh just another asian celebrity with kinda weird face shape (no offense) but after I saw the movie, damn my whole perspective changed. Like I actually consider him as semi-hot now. But he's married, divorced, and has 2 kids. His personality doesn't attract me due to the rumors about him and just....idk. But yeah. Definitely won't go crazy for him like JJ Lin, Kevin Cheng etc.
He has so much Swag in the movie though(:
the ending:
I wanted to cry. *sniff* it wasn't thattt sad, but i was hoping for a "happily ever after" ending where everything's perfect.
I would've teared up. If my brother wasn't watching the movie with me -.-
CALL TO ACTION: WATCH IT. WITH ENGLISH SUBS. unless u understand Mandarin and Cantonese fluently, or u probably wont get it. And it has Malaysian o.O
Rate: 8.0/10 [i'm not gonna be like sunlaoshi and give 8.4251341343.]
If there was a bitt less action it would've gone easily up to a 8.8 though.
