Faster

I quite like Dwayne Johnson performance, I think he really got improvement on his performance! But sometimes may be the movie script is not that really great.

Anyway, this film is not that bad too. It consider quite entertaining!

No harm watching if you got nothing to do. :)

The Way Back

Just watch this film recently. Although it was already showed at theatre last year, but only now, got the mood to watch it.

I think this film is about dream, courage and hope. We hope for it, we dream for it, and we need to have courage for it too. Once set the destination, don't give up till the end. And we will see the results.

Jim Sturgess, Ed Harris, Colin Farrell, Saoirse Ronan, and others who involve in this film, their performance are GREAT!

Like this film very much!!

Gal Gadot

One of the actress from Fast 5 !

Insidious

Best Horror Film of the Year!!
For those who likes horror film, don't miss this one out! It will freak you out!
It's one of the best!
Directed by James Wan, the co-writer / co-director of SAW.
Its create another feeling from the same genre.
The atmosphere of this film is really spooky. The production team really put a lot of effort in it to create the spooky feeling.

It is one of my favourite! After wataching Dark Water and Emily Rose from theatre, no other films like Insidious can make you feel spooky again.

But what I felt that, I think.....director is using one of the Chinese Horror Elements or I should say, it can be found at Chinese Ghost Tale.
It's about the soul was "escape" from the body host, and have lost in somewhere "further".
It very similar like what Chinese Ghost Tale mention, the soul will goes out somewhere when we are sleeping.
And when the "ritual" is perform, we must CALL the NAME of the victim, whos soul been out there. So that the soul can find the way to their host recognize by the voice.
It is more or less similar like one of the Chinese tradition ritual.

I remember when I was a small kid, I have a high fever, after visiting a few doctors, it doesn't seem help. So my mom was using this type of ritual at night to call my name outside and ask for my soul to come back.
Well, I just only can remember that, others I have forgot,... haha.....
But its kinda interesting I guess....just tiring my mom....and my dad...they are worried at that time, but at last .... my fever was gone....because I got tonsil infection, thats all.. haha.
Anyway, I have a great parents!

So, my conclusion of this film is, ITS WORTH TO WATCH at theater! To feel the atmosphere and the spooky feeling of this film. May not get it from other movies though!

Hope you all enjoy this!

1000 Ways To Die

Recently, my younger brother recommended this TV series to me, and its quite interesting.
It gives me the feeling like Final Destination, and its like the TV series Ripley's Believe it or not, every episode will definately show you a few ways to die ..... in a very unique way, which you normally can't imagine of.

The narrator of this TV series is Ron Perlman! A good one!
Finding "hell-boy" to speak on this flim! :)

Not suitable for those who weak of heart, it did shows some "graphic" when it comes to the death part.

Also remind me of the documentary called "Faces of Death". If really compared, 1000 ways to die is much more interesting, because "F.O.D" is still consider very hardcore!

Good move on the TV Series!

Fast Five

It's getting "betta and betta".....also..."fasta and fasta".

Quite like this movie, its totally entertaining. The way they use the cars as a stunt, totally will wipe you out!

But can't take it as a logic way, it is more on entertaining side, and I like it very much!

It will have the 6th franchise coming out.

Expecting Dwayne Johnson, is another HIT on this film!

Bravo...bravo!

THOR

THOR, one of the Marvel superheroes comics icon, is now produced as a movie and showing at the theater. Caught it with my wife on last week. It's a very entertaining movie. Interesting story line and the performances are great too, especially Thor, King of Asgard, The Guardian, woman of science...etc.

Never thought that Thor will be such interesting as a film. This movie not only shows the action, cgi, great actor or actress, but the moral of the story may be different from other superheroes movies.

A must watch for this one!!

Towards the end...the real end after the credits, got 2 minutes of the prelude of Avengers, which going to show on next year. Can't wait to watch that!

Kaiji The Ultimate Gambler (Review)

One of the best Japanese film for this year.

About the destiny, the twist, and how smart can you be in a "game"?

For me, its not really about gambling, .. its more on the destiny and will you be able to take the risk to change your life ?

Its one of the best in recent, and will make you think about your life too.

Life is like when you are walking at the "skyscrapper", you would do anything to get the money..the hard earn money,...but when you fall, you will died....
Its really like telling you thats the reality we are facing now.

Anyway, its a good film and its tense from beginning to the end.

Must watch!

Date Night (Review)

Personally feel that it's a good movie. Quite like it~

It's like a dish of salad with nice thousands island, its will wake up ur appetite,
but may be too little "time" to show,....
just feel like not quite enough....haha...
but quite enjoy to watch especially at weekend.....

not bad not bad~

Dread + The Final (Review) - [ HorrorFest ]

Dread, a short story from Clive Barker. I kinda like Cliver Barker stories, from Hellraiser, Candyman, Midnight Meat Train to Dread, the plot is so strong on the violence feeling.

But Dread was directed in a way which not that impact. What it shows from the trailers, it already did show all, nothing much from the movie, which I think a bit dissapointed.

Overall, the feeling is still there, the intense is still on, but still prefer if could bring out more violence and show more darker side from the psycho path.

This film is the first directed and first screenplay by this director Anthony DiBlasi.
Keep it up Anthony!

The Final, another film from HorrorFest.

I found this film a bit boring, the torture scene was not so impact if compare to Hostel.
This is a film bout these students was always get bully by their classmates, and they decided to take revenge on them by torturing them from what they have watch from the violence movies.

Its a great idea, and I think can be improve more from here.

Anyway, i think its a good try~

The Crazies (Review)

Just watch it on yesterday. I found it was ok ok only.

But got a few scene which quite impress, which one of it is the "petients" who tied up on a bed and got a crazy man comes to kill them one by one, that is so intense.

Just found that it may a bit drag, only my personal view.

Radha Mitchell had a good performance in this film. But for Timothy Olyphant, a bit wasted, he is a great actor, just feel that he seems can't bring out a good performance in this film.

Anyway, overall this film was ok for me. Just for entertaining, should be alright.....

Hope you will enjoy!

Shutter Island (Review)

It's a great thriller by Martin Scorsese and another great performance by Leonardo DiCaprio.

The way Martin Scorsese directed is so details, every scene, every words. It end with a good twist.

It brings you into a psycho world which will make you fear,...perhaps .. may make you lost too. haha :)

For my personal thoughts, I think it will be much more better if it shot in an entertainment way.

It's not that Martin Scorsese version is not good, but he is trying to tell a very long story, and definately, he got his unique way to telling the story, that's a great way with no objection.
But if it's would be more intense, shorter a bit, then it may be another mood.

Anyhow, I think this is a another great thriller film to watch already. No doubt, Martin Scorsese is a great director, when meet a great actor like Leonardo, it's definately worth the watch!

初恋红豆冰 Ice Kacang Puppy Love (Review)

Another great film done by Malaysian. It's about the first love and happen in a small town.

It shot beautifully, great scenery, great performance, should be proud of Malaysian.

This film directed by AhNiu who used to be a singer and songwriter. All the while, he got his own unique way for songwriting. Then in this film, it's another unique way too and its very his own kind of film. Gary Chaw had a great performance too! Most of the actors and actress are from the music industry.

I think Malaysia film industry will have a bright future, if we keep develop the good film and never affraid to be failure.

Bravo for Malaysia Movies!

歲月神偷 - Echoes of Rainbow (Review)

Echoes of Rainbow, it's a very very touching story. Story happens in the 60's HongKong. About a family which go through the sweet and hard times.

Sreenplay is written by Alex Law who is the director of this film too. Produced by Mabel Cheung.

It's success to bring out the feeling of the 60's HongKong, how was the lifestyle during that time, how was the situation when during dinner time, I think it will be definately recall back all the old times memory for the HongKong citizen.

This film shows how important of the positive mindset which have to be face in the reality, and in this film, it always mentioned like : "have to believe...." and "when facing hard times now, the good times will comes next", which is I think quite motivated.

Anyway,...it's a great film to watch!

Clash of the Titans (Review)

A remake from year 1981 film. Ofcourse, that's a classic during 80's film. But for now, what we only can feel is the effects (CGI), not the soul of the story anymore.

This is a great story, a great imagination could bring to audience, a fantasy film would bring the entertainment to the audience who never know the story before.

But, just that this latest version, is lack of something, which can't bring the "finishing" to the "Old" audience who had been watch at the 80's version.

For effects and entertainment, yes, it brings the result, as for the story line, I still prefer the 80's.

Director Louis Leterrier who brought us film The Transporter, Danny the Dog, Transporter 2
and The Incredible Hulk.

For those audience who never know the story and never watch the 80's version, I think this could capture the new audience attention~

New York, I Love You (Review)

11 directors, 11 short stories which happens in New York.

Not bad,.....really love a few stories inside and it did brings out the strong feeling of it.

A must watch!

心魔 - At The End of Daybreak (Review)

From Malaysian director Ho YuHang. It's a good movie, from the view of International Screen and from the artistic way, i think it's done pretty well.

Ho YuHang did his good work again in this film. He tried to bring out the reality world to the audience and the feeling is really strong.

Actress WaiYingHung is great, the character she played in this film is about a single mom who is an alcoholic and always wanted to protect her son.

A Malaysian-Must-Watch Film!

Bravo for Ho YuHang!

From Paris With Love (Review)

From director Pierre Morel who brings us "Taken". Another action packed thriller which will entertain you from beginning till the end.

This film, the story line a bit weak. It's just a simple story about a cop reach Paris to co-operate with another cop to defends the bad guys.

Although it's simple, it will still entertain you. With all the laughing and the action, still worth to watch.

Bravo for Pierre! I like his film very much!

Edge of Darkness (Review)

Mel Gibson is back! He is real good at his acting, especially this character, as a father who lost the daughter.

But I found out this film was "ok ok". Many reviews and audiences compare with "Taken". I still think Taken is best to watch as for entertainment, thriller, action packed and the story is better than Edge of Darkness too. Well, this only my personal review.

Director Martin Campbell did a few good job at his previous film like The Mask of Zorro, Vertical Limits and Casino Royale.

I think director Martin wants to bring more emotional feeling in this film, that's why its shows more on the feeling side of a father who lost his daughter.

Not a must watch, but if you are a Mel fan, then you could be like it.

Green Zone (Review)

Director Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon did it again! Many was saying it's like another Bourne film. For me, it's not. But may be Matt Damon need to try other way to act this character which will differentiate from what he did in Bourne series.

This film, actually quite intense. It's a good thriller, which will keep remind you a war... is it needed ? What's the true story behind a war?

Anyway, director Paul Greengrass did his job to deliver such a action packed thriller film.

A good one !
