DOA
I caught DOA.
Do not gasp. Do not roll your eyes. I spent $9.50 for the movie tix too.
Yes, I do know it is loosely adapted from the widely popular game of the same name. I do know that the cast is just eye-candy and not really very substantial in terms of acting although other areas are pretty *ahem*. And yes, I do know I do not exactly like my bf to be treated to perky boobs, taut bottoms, tight abs and slim thighs whereas mine aren't even close. DARN.
But still, I caught the movie. And it aint' half bad to be honest.
Come on, how bad can a movie get when there's
1)An abundance of beauties who look good on the outside and totally kick-ass
2)Cool actions and smooth moves I can only master in my dreams (so do many guys k)
3)Volleyball scenes with teeny weeny bikinis
Plot aside might be a lil exaggerated and sparse but the story still strings along pretty well. Our girls are invited to the prestigous DOA compeition where the sole winner (fight to win) will earn a whopping 10 million dollars! Well, as we all know, being the leads, our girls - Katsumi, Tina and Christie all won in the 2nd rounds and were the final 4 (including this jap guy who entered DOA to protect Katsumi (whose bro supposedly disappeared after he entered the DOA comp) left standing.
It turns out the organizer of DOA is a corrupted and cowardly ass who wants to master kick-ass skills without going for trainings using high tech gadgets to download our leads' moves and predict their actions.
All ends well, when our girls managed to literally set this bad guy on fire and return safely (all looking as gorgeous as ever) in a boat.
The movie is not all fighting. There were many hilarious scenes you gotta not miss. Such as the chinese speaking pirates who got bashed up and thrown overboard by Tina not once but TWICE. Weatherbee (a tech nerd with a huge crush on Helena - one of the babes in the show) and his daydreams and many more. Note worthy of Tina's dad who seems to be modelled after WWE's famed Hulk Hogan. The comical daughter and father pair is priceless. Too bad dad was eliminated in the 1st round by his girl who is out to prove she is no fluke in the wrestling world.
Overall, I walked out the theatre feeling surged with grril power and feeling as though I lost a couple of calories seeing the girls in action. I am going to work out for a hot bod :P
