Prepare for MAXimum PAYNE! Aaaargh!


Woke up early this morning to prepare for work, as I usually do...
still a little drowsy...
still a little sleepy.

As I still have a few more minutes before I begin my morning routine, I decided to open up the Macbook and browse the page for Movie Trailers at Apple's site, as I haven't visited it for a few days now... looking for something new to download to our iPhone. Trying to look at the movie posters at the site, I spotted the last trailer I downloaded... Luke Wilson's latest movie, "Henry Poole Was Here". Browsing through the new posters, I caught something from the corner of my eye... an image that seems so familiar... like a memory from a distant past. Moving my eyes to where the movie title was, my conciousness suddenly went...
BAM!
Gone is the drowsiness...
Gone is the sleepines.
My mind suddenly went racing from 0 to 100mph...
Gosh! The movie's title is MAX PAYNE!

MAX PAYNE!...
one of the best action games I've ever played...
engaging storyline, pulse-pounding action, eye-popping graphics, topped off with innovative character controls like "bullet-time" (no offense meant to Matrix fans, but can you perform "bullet-time" in "Enter The Matrix"?)...
easily one of the greatest games ever...
getting the Hollywood treatment, finally!

Eagerly anticipating to watch the trailer for the first time, I find myself cheering on the Download status bar... shouting "Come on! Come on! Come on!" inside my head while our M1-Vodafone internet connection creeps ever so slowly. By the time I was able to sync it to our iPhone, I had to prepare for the office... aw, shucks! Good thing we have an iPhone, at least I can view the Max Payne movie trailer while I'm on my way to the office.

Ah... a Max Payne movie. Just the thought of watching a movie based on that game makes me wanna jump up and yell "Awesome!". But I don't wanna get my hopes up just yet... just in case it won't live up to my expectations (remember the movie based on Hitman... it's ok if you don't... i barely do). Deep inside though, I do hope (and pray!) it would go beyond my wildest imaginations, blow us all away, and make us feel the PAYNE!
