Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (Review)

Do you believe in karma? Well, I do believe in what ever you do now, will affect your future and the result is very depending on what decision you would have made right now......which is I think im talking "nonsense" or BULLS**Ting, haha :)

I think Ghost of Girlfriends Past got a good story line, got a great plot, but the way the story telling goes or the way it been directed, may be lack of some freshness.
It's kind of slow, a bit boring at the middle of the film. May be should improve on the screen play and if possible to put more elements of jokes / comedy, then it may be quite success though.

Personally feels that, it could be better, if it direct in a different way? or the screen play may improve a bit, then it will be very fun.

Matthew McConaughey performance was so so, although he looks so great in this film, but I stil prefer the Matthew who took the character like in "A Time To Kill". Jennifer Garner Performance was also not that great too, but she looks pretty!

Director Mark Waters, who directed film like The Spiderwick Chronicles, Just Like Heaven, Mean Girls, Freaky Friday and etc.

Anyway, although I'm freethinker, I believe in karma! Please do good,....and good will bring to you :)

Old Dogs (Review)

Not a good film, but just for the entertainment without a brain, I think it's still good to watch. Got a few part which makes me laugh till non-stop. Some of the jokes are quite funny! I laughed quite loud actually.

The story line is weak, John Travolta performance in this film is weak too.....may be that's why IMDB and Metacritics give so low rate for it.

Director Walt Becker of this film, who directed Wild Hogs, and Wild Hogs sequel Bachelor Ride is coming this year. Hope Wild Hogs Bachelor Ride will not dissapointed the audience.

Although this is not a great film, but I quite enjoyed it. when you watch this movie, no need to bring your brain along. :)

竊聽風雲 Overheard (Review)


A trio of police officers conduct surveillance on a listed company.
(Source from IMDB)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This is the BEST HK FILM in year 2009 which produced by Tung-Shing Yee. The story line not bad and it's about greed. These 3 police officers who got the wrong decision at the beginning and they never see it is coming towards them, non-stop thrill, non-stop action till the end of the film, and it's really entertaining!

The 3 police officers who played by Lau Ching Wan, Louis Kee and Daniel Woo, their performance is great! They are real COOL !! Glad that HongKong got so much talented person like them.

Heard that will have the sequel of this film in future too. Hope the 2nd sequel will be as good as the 1st one or hopefully better than the 1st.

Anyway....Overheard definitely a must watch! BRAVO!

十月圍城 Bodyguards and Assassins (Review)

Bodyguards and Assassins is one of the best HK / China film in year 2009 and it's produced by Chan Ho Sun who is one of the great / successful film director from HongKong.

It's great to see so many famous actors and actress is involve in this film. Their performance is really good. Especially the one who be The Tycoon - Xueqi Wang. The way he played as a father in this film, it's really touched audiences heart. Thumbs up for Xueqi Wang. Nicholas Tse got a not bad performance too!

But this film is a bit sad, kind of sad after watching the whole show. It will makes you to think about it everytime reminds of what have happen in the history sometimes.
Ofcourse not all 100% of this film is true events or history. Just that the message which this movie had brought to us, will have a great meaning behind it, i'm sure of that. :)

One of the great film which you can't miss.

Saw VI (Review)

Not bad....not bad! It's quite violence at the opening "game" which the sinners play. At the end, it got twisted a little bit, and you won't know it will going to be end like that. Well, overall is not bad, I think all SAW fans will not going to miss this too.

At the end of the film, it already got hints which SAW 7 will coming may b in year 2010. The story will continues from there, and can't wait to watch how's the story will goes.

Now, SAW movies is like a "Cinema Series", and watch it every year halloween is a must for some audience or the fans. I think this is one of the most successful in sequal making and each sequal quite selling well too.

SAW film definitely a masterpiece!

Sherlock Holmes (Review)

Nothing Escapes Him.

Detective Sherlock Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson engage in a battle of wits and brawn with a nemesis whose plot is a threat to all of England
(Source from IMDB)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ooops,....Robert Downey Jr did it again! He twisted the character successfully in Sherlock Holmes. The Sherlock that he played in this film, is not the legendary gentlemen of Sherlock in England, but what he had add in...is become more "tasteful". Not that kind of serious, dull and boring suspense film. He twisted it and act it in a "beautiful" way! Like a "Bad" version of Sherlock, but i think many audience will accept it...even may be will like it more especially Robert Downey Jr can bring this character so "alive" in the cinema! Jude Law and Rachel McAdams also starred in this film too, both of them got a not bad performance!

The entire film is full of fun, suspense, thrill and action. You will be very curious of what will be happen next. As the classic of suspense, the "truth" of all crimes may only be reveal at the end of the story, ... same to this film too.

I think for the year 2009, Sherlock Holmes is one of the big HIT, and I believe it will have its sequel in the near future. Can't wait to watch it again!

Rate 7.6 / 10


Iron Man (Review)

Iron Man, one of the big hit in year 2008. 2nd of its sequel is coming this year 2010 and it will be another big hit, I guess.

Robert Downey Jr. is the best fit for the character Tony Stark. The way he acted it, is real fun! Just watch it again at HBO last night. It really impressed although had watch 2 - 3 times.

It had combined the humor, action and thrill in this film. Definitely a must watch!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year to all movie freaks! :)

Hope 2010 will be another great year for movie industry and will have much more great films coming. May watch Old Dogs in this week or next week, I think it's a great comedy!

1st Jan 2010, staying at home, not so feeling well, having medicine,......just finish watched "The Incredible Hulk" from HBO. Feel a bit wasted for a good actor like Edward Norton to starred as Bruce in Hulk. He can act in many characters, just feel that Bruce character may not suitable for him. He been nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role and Supporting Role at the Academy Awards in 10 years ago....

Anyway, it's a great film for me to watch as a start at HBO for year 2010....and alsobeing a bit not-so-feeling-well.

Wish you all have a great year ahead! ^_^
