Screen | Double Movies ^^

I have to admit that age is really catching up. Went to watch a back to back movie with him ~ Mission Impossible then The Darkest Hour. And boy! It was tiring. Hahahaha! We agreed not to do it again in the near future.

So, let's talk about Ethan Hunt. I thought there wasn't going to be another MI as he is getting old. But I can tell you that Tom Cruise still has it, even with a few extra wrinkles =) He can still charmed me off my feet anytime.

As for the movie, well ~ it's entertaining as every MI movie =) Love the cars! This time the team was framed and they need to clear up their names. Great movie =) Minus the 4D effect that I got from the kids sitting behind me =(

Next up, after downing some toast is The Darkest Hour. Actually I didn't really want to watch this. But he insisted. And it costs more than MI! LOL!

I think the plot was alright. Some newness in the storyline. It does feels like watching Skyline, another alien movie. But all alien movies are the same... Taking over the world, kill all human, etc. Actually, it's not that bad. But it's just another alien movie to me.

Screen | Captain America: The First Avenger

The most anticipated first Avenger movie? Hell, yah! I'm not a real, real fan of The Avenger. I don't really know who is in the Justice League. But I can still start to know now =)

Captain America: The First Avenger. Seeing the movie, now I know why he's the first. Being from year 1942, he's the oldest Avenger. Of course you won't see an old man. Captain America has been injected with a formula that changed him to become a super soldier. Yeap, it came with a 6-packs and buffed figure.

Besides the buffed body of Chris Evans, the movie itself is good. Who doesn't like a superhero movie? Let's just wait for The Avenger =)

Chris Evans
feast your eyes=p

Screen | Bye Harry, Hermione and Ron

It all has ended. It's sad to bid goodbye to Harry, Hermione and Ron. But every story must have an ending. All 7 series are out and live goes on for the whole gang ~ Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows Part II

So, the final battle is set which everyone already know. We all know how it ends. But we want to know how it ends on the silver screen. Expect to see blood, building rumbling over, zapping here and there. Uhh! And some kisses here and there. Quite awkwardly placed around the movie. LOL!

The CG was good. Better with the years gone by. But I was really expecting more from 'the battle' with Voldemort. I think no matter what I say here, you'll go watch, right? The HP fans out there? =) So, go enjoy the very last bit of it. I loved it =)

Screen | Fast Five

Dom and Brian are back TOGETHER. Well, not together, together. You know what I mean. So, now that they are at the same side, means that they both have the same enemies. Running away from the cops and trying to finish just one last job so that they can disappear.

I was halfway hoping that Fast Five would be the last one. But I could not resist to see Vin Diesel again and again and again. Just love his voice so much =)

This time it was in RIO (yes, Rio where the blue bird went...) After breaking Dom out from going to prison, they met up to pull out a gig over the kingpin of Rio. All the old guys from previous FF was called in and they busted a vault straight out from the police station! You must not miss the car chase with the vault. Awesome! Oh ya, and the fighting scene with The Rock! Not to be missed!

When you are about to think, yea.. this is the last one. Then BANG! some twist was added in. So, don't leave your seats after the movie yet. You think you might saw a ghost...

Screen | The Blu Bird ^^

A captured macaw has accidentally fallen off from smuggler's truck and ended up with Linda in Minnesota on the other side of the world from his home in RIO. Blu finally has a chance to go back to his roots and there he met his other half, Jewel.

I know I put it all in a simple paragraph but it's actually good ^^ Love the humour!

Screen | World Invasion: Battle LA

Yup. Another alien invasion movie. And we are losing - big time. So, what's to plot this time?

All troops, the army, the marines are called to make the final defense. And this time's plot is about a team of marines. Risking their lives to save a group of civilians trapped in a small town. With big guns and guts, they managed to save a few and found a way to kill those things.

Then, TADA! They save the world.

My say? It's good entertainment. But it's just another alien movie.

Screen | The Green Hornet ~ Jay Chou

Well, I don't really remember watching the original one with Bruce Lee. So, I can't really compare. But I think if it wasn't for Jay Chou, I don't think I'll watch The Green Hornet. Must support JAY! Yeay!

Most of you might have known what's the story goes about right? 2 guys getting together to become heroes. But their plan is to be the bad guys in order to become the good guys. Does it makes any sense? Hmmmm???

Seth Rogan became The Green Hornet while Jay became Kato, his sidekick. But once you watched this, you'll wonder who's the sidekick? I'm sorry if I don't get this right. I dunno anything about the original version.

And I think that's about it. Nothing much to brag about except that Jay is in it. I am proud that Jay's English is getting well!!! Bravo!

Screen | Tian Tian Hao Tian

Yet another locally made Chinese movie. Great Day ~ created by the same bunch of people for Woohoo! last year. I personally think that they are getting better with the locally-made movies.

This year for CNY they added in a more serious note into the movie. Parents love and care. Don't dump them into old folk's home. Yeah... It made me shed tears...

But it's not all sad and soapy. With Jack Lim, you won't feel dull a moment =) So, be prepared to laugh and to cry.

And I really loved the places that they filmed it... Didn't know that Malaysia has so many beautiful places...

Screen | Tourist

Got a chance to watch The Tourist premier =) Was expecting a real great show with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. I'm not saying that this is not good but I was expecting a little bit more... Come on lah... it's Jolie and Depp!

Well, it's indeed about a tale of a tourist ~ Frank. He's visiting Italy to mend his broken heart and crosses path with Elise. She on the other hand was being watched by the British government and gangster because of her boyfriend ~ Alex. Wanted by the government because of tax evasion and wanted by the gangster because he stole 2 billion from them. And he's MIA. One link ~ her girlfriend, Elise.

How did Frank got entangled into this? You gotta watch to find out. There is a little bit twist on this =) Story was good but I was really expecting more...

Screen | Bruce Lee

All was wondering how will Aarif Lee do as Bruce Lee. Well, I can give him about 70% ...

Not too shabby... He's HOT! I mean sizzling HOT! He does look like Lee Hom, doesn't he? I first saw him as Desmond in Echoes of the Rainbow with Simon Yam and Sandra Ng. Nice movie too! And did I mentioned that he's HOT? Hehehehe...

Well, Bruce Lee My Brother is another perspective of Bruce Lee's life. From his younger brother's eyes, Robert Lee. This is a story of Bruce's family from his young days till we was sent off to USA.

So, you won't be getting a lot of kung-fu fighting here. But you will see the mischievous kid he was, the first love he had, the best buddies he had.

I personally liked this. If you are looking for gung-ho kung-fu fighting of Bruce Lee, I think you better skip this. But if you want to know about Bruce's past, this is the one =)

Screen | Rapunzel Rocks!

Your normal fairy tale? Think again! This Rapunzel is gonna rock your world. What we all know that there's this girl with long hair that stays in a hidden tower. Well, that was what I know.

But you can always guess that every fairy tale has a happy ending. I would love to see this again. There was not a dull moment at all =) Love the feisty Rapunzel and the smouldering look of Flynn Ryder. A must see =)

Screen | The Social Network

Never thought that this would be a good movie to watch! THE SOCIAL NETWORK is a must see if you're a FB fanatics or die-hard programmer.

I think you should all know this is about Facebook and the founders. Yes, Mark Zuckerberg. A true story on how FB started. There might be some added on fiction into it tho.

So, it all started with a girl. Mark's girlfriend that became his ex. With the anger he had, he started a page called Facemash with his friend Eduardo, that compares girls in the uni. Which was a hit and that made a lot of girls hated him! Soon enough he had an idea of social network and a revolution of communication ~ Facebook was born. But it seems that he had stolen this idea from Winklevoss brothers.

That was sue case #1. Then, when FB became hot Mark kinda kicked off his best friend Eduardo out. This is sue case #2. Yeap. Mark was being sued twice because of FB. But he's still the youngest billionaire in the world =)

I must say this is a good movie =)

Screen | HP7 The Deadly Hallows

THE END BEGINS...

That was a long wait for the last HP to come out. But just for the first part.... Second part will be out next year July. Another long wait.

So, let'ts talk about The Deadly Hallows ~ Part 1. As if you haven't read it before? =p This is the darkest hour for the wizards. With Dumbledore gone, Voldemort and the gang are going on full force to take out the good guys. I think this is no new news for you fans out there.

What I can say is this was made beautifully. Director David Yates really done a great job in portraying the book on to the screen. I'm really anticipating for Part 2. I keep on wondering why on earth that he broken The Deadly Hallows into 2? Make more money? Hmmm....

Anyway, I think it's about time that the 3 grown-ups to move on with their careers. I mean to another level. Not just stuck to Harry Potter. Sooner or later we have to bid goodbye to Harry, Ron and Hermione. Let's just savour it =)

Screen | Skyline

2 words ~ not nice

Don't even think it's worth for pirated DVD

Movie tagline ~ don't look up

My tagline for this movie ~ don't look at all

Screen | Detective Dee

Andy Lau is back again and this time with Carina Lau. We haven't been seeing them for quite some time now. To add on this was directed by Tsui Hark, an old-timer. So, we have Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame *doesn't it sounds like those Enid Blyton books? =p*

Detective Dee, a famous x-police officer jailed for treason. However, Empress Wu pardoned Dee when mysterious death starts to happen. Dee, which I think works like Sherlock Holmes ~ tries to solve the mystery. Nice choreography, nice story but it was an OK for me.

Screen | Eat Pray Love

Julia Roberts is still stunning as ever despite her age =) EAT PRAY LOVE ~~ the tittle itself is so simple. I can say this is a very enlightening movie. You know sometimes when you feel very lost and empty? And you have no idea what's the next move to take? But then we all cowardly move on with our lives.

Liz Gilbert on the other hand ~ bravely let go of everything and left for a year break. To Italy where she ATE ~ to India where she PRAYED ~ to Bali where she LOVED =) I really envied her. But don't you think that this would only happen in the movies?

Anyway, it was a good movie. But don't watch it when you are super tired and don't watch it too late. It's 2.5 hours long with lotsa listening needed =)

Screen | Chen Zhen

I thought I heard that Donnie Yen will be retiring from kung-fu flicks? I think not loh... Here, freshly baked ~ Legend of the Fist: Return of Chen Zhen. Please don't compare with Bruce Lee's Chen Zhen. No one can replace him like that.

Not that I'm saying Donnie didn't do a good job. But some iconic movie like this is irreplaceable. Anyway, it's not a remake. As the tittle suggest ~ Return of Chen Zhen. So, this is way after Bruce's story.

Overall, it was alright. But I didn't get the 'semangat membara-bara' after watching this. Maybe too much of these kinda Chinese vs. Japs movie? I dunno... No matter what ~ this is Donnie Yen! How could anyone can pass this? =)

Enjoy the KUNGFU..... *hhhuuuuuaaahhhh*

Screen | Resident Evil : Afterlife

Wentworth... Wentworth... Ahhhh..... ^^

Oh yes... Resident Evil : Afterlife. Milla is Alice again with Wentworth (yes, Wentworth. the one from Prison Break) as Chris Redfield. Claire Redfield is also back with Ali Larter. Besides having Wentworth, Resident Evil is still Resident Evil. There wasn't any big surprise in the plot. I can sum it up with 1 word ~ cool ~ 'yeng'

And here is Wentworth ^^

Screen | Yellow Boots

No, this is not a fashion statement

It's just that Ah Chu is back in PCK Ptd Ltd: The Movie =) But before you get all your hopes high, I feel that the series are better. Maybe the movis is giving a serious note to the people. Is it because most Singaporean movies are educational? Hmmm...

So, Gurmit Singh is back with the mole and yellow boots making PCK back in action. Not the full force is in. Ah Beng, Margaret, Aloysius and Ah Goon is MIA. But that doesn't mean it won't tickle you =)

Head on to the cinema if want to catch a last glimpse of the gang =)

Screen | Twilight : Eclipse

Ahhhh...... Finally got to watch Eclipse. I know I'm a bit late but still managed to catch it before it came down.

Edward... as charming as ever.... Jacob still buffed but slightly thinner. Bella as usual. I remember this chapter was supposed to have a great battle. But it wasn't that great up at the screen. And it was long-winding between Edward, Bella and Jacob. No surprise there.

I really really hoped the last chapter ~ New Dawn would end with a blast! Heard that it would be broken up into 2 movies. *smart way to get more money from the fans* So, let the long wait begin...
