This is a great movie! Based on 2 true stories. A must watch!

Meryl Streep and Amy Adams performance is stunning! Director is Nora Ephron, who brought us film Sleepless in Seatle, You've Got Mail, Michael, etc. Nora Ephron is really good in directing in this kind of drama, romance and comedy!

And the other story is about Julie who will be feature Julia's 524 Recipes in 365 days, with also published in her blog too.

Avatar (Review)


King of the world is return with his latest film and this film is amazing! May be the story line looks bit similar like "Dances with Wolves" or "The Last Samurai", but it still one of the best and one of my favorite! I like it so much.

The CGI is so stunning! The scene is so beautiful, half of the entire film is using 3D / CGI to develop it, and this is one of the most expensive film they ever made.
Looks like James Cameron always over budget for his own film, and every film he directed, not only in good return, but also wins most of the audience heart.

James Cameron already plan for this film since 12 or 14 years ago? He did mention at that time the CGI may not achieve what he requested for the efx of this film. The way he wrote the script, is very unique. He got his own way to tell the story, I think most of the audience will accept it and also will feel the passion from his film.

This definitely a MUST WATCH for this year! Won't feel like watching a 2.5 hours film, because you will enjoy every single sec. in this film! Bravo!!

New Moon (Review)




Just watch it last night. Unfortunately,...fell in sleep after halfway of the film. Just know that Dakota Fanning is "on" & "off" showing on the screen, because my eyes already get blur.....open my eyes once a while to see what's happen next, but I still..really can't get what's happening.

Honestly, not really a good show for me. It's too boring, some love story film is much more better than this, although New Moon is a love story too, but I feel that it's not shooting and directed in the best way yet, still got rooms for lots of improvement.

I think it may disspointed the fans of Twilight novel.
Don't waste your money.

Paranormal Activity (Review)

Watch it last 2 night, overall I found it quite boring, but some of the part....is quite spooky. You can see the image above, there's a shadow at the door. "Someone" is disturbing them while they are sleeping.

One of the successful of this film and the most scarriest part is when Katie is drag by "someone" from the bed till the store room, I personally feel that this is quite impacful, because when she beeing drag, you can't see anyone is dragging, but she is actually being drag.

This is a very low budget film which earn BIG at this year.

The Box (Review)


This one really sucks! I nearly slept inside the cinema while watching it half way of the show.
May be the way they did it is too artistic? or May be i'm just not that into this kind of film?

This is totally not a commercial film at all, but the trailer did sells very well. May be I just get cheated by the trailer.

The way it shoot, it's too slow and kind of boring. May be they want to put more emotional into this film? But the emotional part really doesn't help much on the film.

They have a great plot, a mysterious plot. I believe if its directed in a different way, then it may attracted to many audiences too.
The original film is from The Twilight Zone, is called "Button, Button". I think the original may better than this movie version.

Well, the really successful of this film is, the effects of the old man face which already get burnt and the trailer which did sells very well!

Phobia 2 (Review)

5 directors, 5 horror stories.

It's quite entertaining, but not so scary. Watch with a friend and we did feel that the audience at the cinema is quite "noisy", full of "laughter" and "screamer", anyhow....I did enjoy it through out the show.

Personally, I like the 4th and the 5th story. The 4th story is call Salvage, it's about the 2nd-hand-cars which the business-lady sold, is all been rebuilding from damage or crash, and every cars damage, got a story behind it. This one I feel that is quite spooky.
The 5th story is call In The End, this was so fun and entertaining. Yeah, plus a bit creepy too, but the way it directed is unique, smart, exciting and definitely you will enjoy it too. This story directed by Banjong Pisanthanakun who directed movie like Shutter, Alone and one of the short story from 4bia. Well, this is the best of all 5, i think~

Worth watching yo~

The Silence of the Lambs (Review)

Genre: Crime, Thriller

Tagline: To enter the mind of a killer she must challenge the mind of a madman.

Plot: A young FBI cadet must confide in an incarcerated and manipulative killer to receive his help on catching another serial killer who skins his victims.
(Source from IMDB)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Watch it again at last night on HBO. One of the greatest thriller of all time! I like thriller film very much and this film is one of my favorites! Imdb rated it at the top #24 film of all time!
This film have won 5 Academy Awards which is Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Best Actress in a Leading Role.

Anthony Hopkins is the most suitable for the character Dr. Hannibal Lecter . He really got a stunning performance in this film. It feel so creepy from him!

Now a days, seldom got a film will produced to be like this anymore. This film will not have much gore scene, not much "blood" too if compare to SAW and HOSTEL. But it still give you the intense feeling and you will definitely grip your seat while watching it.

It's a great suspense and one of the thrillers classic!
2 thumbs up!

The Last Boy Scout (Review)

Genre: Action, Comedy, Mystery, Thriller

Tagline:The goal is to survive.

Plot: A down and out cynical detective teams up with a down and out ex-quarterback to try and solve a murder...
(Source from IMDB)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Not bad, not bad! It's entertaining, fun, action-packed and thrill. I know this film long time ago, but never get a chance to watch it, till last night watch it at HBO. Attracted from the beginning, just sit at there and watch till the end. Surprisingly it's a film from 1991, 18 years ago, I watch it first time at 2009 and it's still really not bad! Although it's a "standard formula" from Hollywood action-packed thriller, but it's really works well!

Starring by Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans, both of them are really great actors and they have a "not bad" performances in this film.

Directed by Tony Scott, who brought us movie like The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, Man on Fire, Spy Game, Enemy of the State, The Fan, Crimson Tide and etc. He mostly directed action-packed and thriller film. Most of his film, will have 2 strong male characters which either is partner or 2 extreme characters which fighting each other.

I believe "The Last Boy Scout" is one of the best from Tony Scott.

The Hot Chick (Review)

Genre: Comedy, Fantasy

Tagline: The hottest chick in town just switched bodies with the luckiest loser in the world.

Plot:
An attractive and popular teenager who is mean spirited toward others, finds herself in the body of an older man, and must find a way to get back to her original body.
(Source from IMDB)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Well, it will make you puke if you are not really interested in this kind of comedy. Obviously, it just a "Rob Schneider" show. Just to see how Rob Schneider performs to be a HOT CHICK in this film. But be frank, the jokes which inside this film are quite lame.

Guess, may be Rob Schneider would like to become a 2nd of "Jim Carrey"? Who knows, may be Rob can really make something out in the future. But for sure, Rob is really working hard on his career as a comedian. The way he act and his performance are unique. He really got the talent. May be just that need to have a good script for him to performs to get a "higher" appreciation?
Rob also a co-writer for the script of this film.

Anyway, for the film....not that good, but for Rob performance....great!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This will be one of the heat for the year 2010! Originally is from the famous video game "Prince of Persia". The graphics, efx which the trailers shows is real impact and hopefully the story goes well too! The video game is cool and the trailer looks cool too!

From the producer Jerry Bruckheimer who brought us Pirate of the Caribbean, National Treasure, Bad Boys, Black Hawk Down, Pearl Harbor and many more....
I believe Jerry Bruckheimer is one of the successful producer of all time for commercial film.

Director Mike Newell have directed film like Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Donnie Brasco, Four Weddings & a Funeral, etc.

Can't wait to watch Prince of Persia on the big screen!

Looks like it will be another great fantasy film for the year 2010. Interesting is Uma Thurman will play Medusa in this film. How does she looks like, we still don't know yet. I think it gotta be fun and exciting to have Medusa again appear in the big screen.

The trailer seems like doesn't shows much, but definitely will catch some attention, I think~

Director Chris Columbus who brought us film like Harry Potters' the Chamber of Secrets and the Sorcerer's Stone, Bicentennial Man, Mrs. Doubtfire, Home Alone, and etc.

I believe it will be another interesting film~

Interesting! What's inside the box? What's the truth behind the box?

Well, guess one of the attraction of this film may be is Cameron Diaz.

Hope this will be a nice thriller~

仄暗い水の底から [Dark Water] - (Review)

From The Creators of Japan's Acclaimed RINGU, Inspiration for the hit phenomenon THE RING

Plot: A mother and her 6 year old daughter move into a creepy apartment whose every surface is permeated by water.
(Source from IMDB)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

From the Japanese director who brought you RINGU. Dark Water is another great horror movie from Japan. Hollywoods Dark Water is another adaptation from this film.

Starring Hitomi Kuroki who is very suit to the character of the mother. She did very well in this movie. Nevertheless, she is a very beautiful auntie who already age 49 this year.
She also involve in many Japanese TV series too.

Well, this film is quite success, it really brings you the creepy feeling of an old apartment. The dark and old corridor will make you feel so uncomfortable. When the old lift open the door, you will not know what is inside. The old CCTV which showing every corner of the old apartment which make you feel like something crawling your skin.
After watch this movie, if you have water drop or leak from the roof or ceiling from your apartment and house, you may think of many stories behind it. :)

2 thumbs up! A must watch if you are the fan of horror movies!

Tagline: Don't Fall Asleep

Plot: A re-imagining of the horror icon Freddy Krueger, a serial-killer who wields a glove with four blades embedded in the fingers and kills people in their dreams, resulting in their real death in reality.
(Source from IMDB)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This is the remake of the horror classic from the 80's "A Nightmare on Elm Street".
The original one from 80's, of course it's awesome! But I don't know how's the remake will end up like. Hopefully it will still as good as the original.

This film produced by Michael Bay, he did produced some remake film like Friday the 13th and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. But I like his Friday the 13th, not bad~

Hope that A Nightmare on Elm Street will not disappoint the fans.


What Lies Beneath (Review)

Genre: Horror, Mystery, Thriller

Tagline: He was the perfect husband until his one mistake followed them home.

Plot: The wife of a university research scientist believes that her lakeside Vermont home is haunted by a ghost -- or that she's losing her mind.

(Source from IMDB)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This is another great horror movie of all time! What Lies Beneath starring Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer. Both of them plays well in their character in this film!

Seldom, a Hollywood movie could bring you this type of horror movie, it's something similar like Japan horror movie. What Lies Beneath entire film is so "silence" and yet so mysterious. It will slowly lead you to the answer step by step with the creepy atmosphere. ..and both of their performance would add up some points too.

Directed by Robert Zemeckis who brought you Forrest Gump in year 1994. He also a Academy Awarding Wining: Best Director for movie Forrest Gump. Soon, his latest film A Christmas Carol will going to show at our nearest theaters. It really a surprise that Robert Zemeckis will directed "What Lies Beneath" this type of film, it's not really his style, but he did very well for this!

For those who like horror movies, will not want to miss it!

Ringu [The Ring] - (Review)

Genre: Horror, Mystery

Tagline: One curse, one cure, one week to find it.

Plot: A mysterious video kills whomever views it, unless that viewer can solve its mystery.
(Source from IMDB)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ringu, one of the scarriest movies of all time. Hollywood "The Ring" is adapted from the original film from Japan "Ringu".
I was watching alone, it was so scary at that time. It was so suffer when you really watching alone with all the lights off, with such the environment and atmosphere, you will sure get out of that place

The set up of this film is so simple, it doesn't have much CGI and not much background music too. It just the way it directed and the environment it shows you, will make you feel so creepy.
I think this is one of the successful movies which lead it to hollywood market. And after that, many of the hollywoods movie follows to adapted the Japan horror films script.

Starring Nanako Matsushima who is one of the top model and actress in Japan during the late 90's. Her performance is great in this film, the character is quite suits for her.
Director Hideo Nakata did a really great job in this film. The whole film is so mysterious, so creepy, towards to the end of this film is so stunning and smart!

I like this film very much and I advise you, ...whoever haven't watch yet, and if intend to watch it,....please don't watch it alone.

Rate: 8/10



The Thing (Review)

Genre: Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Thriller

Tagline: Man is The Warmest Place to Hide.

Plot: Scientists in the Antarctic are confronted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of the people that it kills.
(Source from IMDB)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Since last week is Halloween, let's us talk about some horror movies this week.
The Thing is one of the scarriest movie I have watch so far. The first time I watch it at the age of 8 and I've got a nightmare after watching this show with my father at night.

The effects of this film is so stunning! At that time, it was no CGI to help to create the effects and the creatures. It's all look so real! When watching them transformed from human being to the creatures, it will definitely blown you away!
You will never thought that the alien will "looks" so-in-different-way and it is so creative that you will never think of.

I believe The Thing is one of the most successful film from director John Carpenter.
One of the most horror and terrifying film during the 80's.

I like this film so much and have watch many times. :)

District 9 (Review)

Genre: Action, Drama, Sci-Fi, Thriller

Tagline: You are not welcome here.

Plot: An extraterrestrial race forced to live in slum-like conditions on Earth suddenly finds a kindred spirit in a government agent who is exposed to their biotechnology.
(Source from IMDB)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

District 9 is the best sci-fi film of the year 2009. The story is unique. The editing of the film is good, it's so intense and the CGI is so real. Since this is the film presented by Peter Jackson, I believe the CGI must be the top.

District 9 will show you how darkness and evil side of the human being are. Human being will lead by their greed and will do anything they want to achieve their target, even need to hurt the Aliens from outer space.

It's a must watch! If you are the fans of Sci-Fi + Action movies.

Academy Award Winning Best Director: James Cameron, now back with his latest film called "Avatar" is going to show at our nearby theaters on December. So excited bout it! James Cameron hasn't directed any movie since Titanic. It's around 12 years after Titanic then only comes the chance to watch his newly directed movie. At that 12 years time, he works on the TV series "Dark Angel" and also the documentary "Aliens of the Deep" & "Ghosts of the Abyss".

He directed blockbusters movies like The Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss, T2, True Lies and Titanic. And Titanic won 11 Oscars included Best Director and Best Picture!
Titanic also the Top Box Office of all time, which no other movies can beat at this moment.

Love to watch Sigourney Weaver in the big screen again. I also like to watch Sam Worthington too, he stars in Terminator Salvation and got a "Not-Bad" performance! Hope he will have a break through in Avatar. He really got the talent and one of the great actor.

Well,...again.....can't wait to watch it!

This is Stunning! Definitely will blown you away with his music, his dance, his performance! This is a classic! Whether you are a fan of MJ or a non-fan of him, you will still like this show as like his "last performance".

This movie is about his music of the concert he wanna performs in London. If this concerts ever happens in London, it may be one of the greatest concerts ever! The stage design, the arrangement, the musician, especially the dancers, all is so great!!

While I'm watching this film, is like i'm watching his performance on stage. It's feel so great and touch! Can feel his passion about the performance, the music, the dance,... he is so serious about every details. And he always thought people to "L O V E"~

He is one of the legend! One of the greatest artist, dancer, performer! The King of POP!
Marvelous! Bravo....Bravo!!

Happy Halloween!! Just watch this movie last night. Errh..... not really a good one, but just for the sake of entertaining, i think still okay. At first, after watch the trailer, would think it may be another good horror movie because the atmosphere and the environment of this film at the trailer was really not bad. But after watch the entire show last night, well..just found it's only "okay okay". Anyway, still ok and worth to watch as an "alternative" kind of horror movie.
It's not really that kind of "real horror" but bring a little bit fun, a little bit violence, and it's not scary at all.

Wow....this is a nice trailer, it's so intense. Starring Milla Jovovich, I think the character quite suitable for her and I believe it will be another great thriller + Sci-Fi film!

Enjoy the trailer!

Green Zone, starring Matt Damon, and this is the latest trailer for this film.
Paul Greengrass is the director of the movie for The Bourne Ultimatum and The Bourne Supremacy. Now Paul and Matt work together again for this thriller action movie Green Zone!


Paranormal Activity

Don't See It Alone

After moving into a suburban home, a couple becomes increasingly disturbed by a nightly demonic presence.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Paranormal Activity claim to be the most scarriest film of all time. Hope can watch it soon at here. But don't know when it only can be show at the near by cinemas.....
The trailer quite good, at least it shows the impact of the scarry moment of this film.
After Blair Witch Project, then comes Cloverfield, ....then REC and Quarantine. All using the same method to shoot. But so far I think Blair Witch Project is the best. Hopefully Paranormal Activity will be another break through~

Again, one of the film I can't wait to watch!!


SAW VI


The Game Comes Full Circle
Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw's legacy. However, when the FBI draws closer to Hoffman, he is forced to set a game into motion, and Jigsaw's grand scheme is finally understood.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Here comes the latest sequal of SAW! SAW series is really a classic. Now a days many audience like to watch how people can be tortured, and SAW can give you the "pain" feeling while you watching it.
SAW is one of the horror / thriller movie which I like the most. But for SAW VI, I still don't know how's the result, hope it will be as good as the original one. It definately will be another HIT~
Can't wait to watch!



Surrogates (Review)

How do you save humanity when the only thing that's real is you?


Set in a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots, a cop (Willis) is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate the murders of others’ surrogates.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Bruce Willis is a one of the great actor. But this flim was "ok ok" only. Originally..."Surrogates" got his unique story and is quite interesting too, but the way it directed, is not that great.

For me, personally feel that if its directed in the way of suspense, thriller and more intense, it may be better. Now is like a drama and action film. Anyway...the effects of this film is NOT BAD! Bruce Willis is younger on screen again and the skin is so smooth!

Director Jonathan Mostow who directed movies like Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, U-571, Breakdown, etc.
I like U-571 and Breakdown. Breakdown is a full suspense + thiller + action film.
U-571 also not bad.
But Surrogates is a bit same feeling like T3.

If you miss it, you won't feel a thing.

Rate 6 / 10
