Catwoman

Catwoman for men who fancies feline and panty-lines….

Catwoman is done especially for men. Or for women who likes cat-fights. This is not the high-tech, logical, futuristic, CAT-astrophic type of movie. This may be refreshing as there are already so many of such comic-movies around. I have never read this feline-superheroin comic before so I really don’t know whether they have followed closely to the comic book. It does explain why Catwoman uses a whip though. Ha ha.

This movie highlights catwoman’s purr-fect, voluptuous body - her curvy silhouette, her flat tummy, her firm butt (especially this) and her special sexy wriggle as she walks in her kinky tight leather suit. Also highlights her extremely white teeth. I think most men came out thinking this movie is really value-for-money as you get 2 for the price of one, Sharon Stone and Halle Berry. Sharon Stone still looks gorgeous at 50, and somehow the storyline seems to be made just for her. She carries her character as an aging, bitter, forsaken, has-been model-cum-wife of Beau-line Conglomerate President (played by Lambert Wilson – The Frenchman in Matrix). She becomes hard (both physically and emotionally) after years of loneliness and dealing with her husband’s philandering ways.

Interestingly funny but some parts (either due to censorship or Pitof’s bad directing) were not explained and left us guessing. Like the part where Wilson tries to slap Stone and the next scene you see is a smiling, painless, "stoney" face while the Wilson was holding his hand, whimpering in pain. No explanation to why and I thought she was an alien with special powers that can telekinetically stop him from slapping her! Only later did I found out from my friends in US that he actually did slap her.

The guys in the movie play supporting roles, so you know this is a girl-power movie. I cannot help but feel that this is a mild X-rated movie, especially with the basketball scene. How could they do a mating-dance-ritual right in front of kindergarten kids? Well, maybe it’s trying to show what cats usually do when in heat (no not play basketball, I meant tease each other in public!). The scenes of how she always land on her feet is pretty good but somehow some of the scenes reflects some jerky CGI combination. Well, maybe it’s not that noticeable as my movie partner could not spot it (probably distracted by Halle Berry’s firm butt! They show this quite a lot!). There’s a couple of scenes which gives you a glimpse of what a cat sees when running and jumping in high speed which is a different cinematography style that I like. It also provides some insights to cat’s senses and reflexes. Watch out for CAT-chy taglines and witty one-liners such as, "What’s the matter, cat’s got your tongue?"

Well, to me this show is nothing much to "caterwaul" about. Still it’s a fun-to-watch movie as it let you decide whether this feline hero is a friend or a foe (Batman thinks she’s a foe but her policeman boyfriend definitely thinks she’s more than a friend!!!). Leave logic behind when you CAT-ch this movie. I am "SORRY", but excuse me now while I go down to Beach Club to order "

White Russian, no ice, no vodka... and hold the Kahlua." [For those who didn’t catch this feline joke, it means I am ordering MILK]. MEOW….!!! (that’s ciao in Cat Language)
