Last Movie in 2007 - Warlord


Yes, some of you, especially the young ones will be wondering what's tat above? That's how the cinema ticket looks like before GSC's and TGV's computer printed ones. It's very manual with the ticket seller marking with color pencil (here, marked with black color pencil on the number 3, meaning cinema 3) and the back of the ticket was written with the seat number. Yes, it's cineplex and you might as well be perplexed as to why cineplex using this kind of ticket??? It's the cineplex in Sandakan. Guess that answered your question.


OK, the ticket above is for the Chinese movie, Warlord by the director Peter Chan who gives us Perhaps, Love, a long-lost Chinese Western-style musical feature and Love Stories, Comrades a classic love stories featuring Maggie Cheung. The men movie as I would like to label it with the star-studding cast including Jet Li, Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Hsu Jing Lei.


Yes, Jet Li can act. Andy as well. And Takeshi too!!! Enjoyable movie which didn't disappoint me especially considering the fact that I watched this on Dec 31, 2007!!!! Yes, I watched the 915pm show which ended about 1130pm, just in time to drive in to the Sandakan town filled with our unofficial PR of Sabah ushering in the new 2008.


Hope the cineplex have good business so that SDK people has somewhere to go besides Giant and playing mahjong.

OMG! That brought back such sweet memories ay. It has been more than 10 years since I last caught a movie back in SDK, and yes, with the issuance of such ancient looking technology defying tickets!
