Movies Review II (Continues...)

4) The Host : Food-stall owner, Gang-du (Song Kang-ho) walks out to the crowded Han Riverbank, when he suddenly sees a never-before-seen “something”, hanging from the Han River Bridge, and moving. The fascinated crowd around him start taking shots with their phones and digital cameras… until the “thing” climbs up onto the riverbank and begins to slash into the crowd. Gang-du has just enough time to witness the Creature snatching his daughter way and disappearing back into the river. Chaos reigns over Seoul. The Han River area is under quarantine. Gang-du receives a phone call from his daughter Hyun-seo, frightened but very much alive. Against all odds, with the help of his remaining family members, he plans to infiltrate the forbidden zone near the Han River and rescue his daughter from the clutches of the horrifying Creature.

My Ratings and Views : 7/10. This show is quite exciting. A thriller cum comedy movie. But if this show can break blockbuster office in Korea, i think the Koreans must really watch my all time favourite Japanese Movie, Ju On. Haha... This show is predictable. At certain point of time, it kept you in suspense. When you watched this movie, you just felt like slapping Gang-du (Song Kang-ho). I always told my trainees, "If you are a slow learner, its ok..can learn as time goes. If you are lazy plus stupid, I can't help you..and good luck to your days in OCS.." Well, this movie help me proved my point! Watch it and you will know what I'm talking about! Again, movie is movie lah... If there is such a creature swimming in our Singapore River, I think is either the whole Singapore will be wipe out or the creature will die...as our river is too small...Not enough space for him to swim and hide. haha..

5) Miami Vice: The cocaine cowboys of the '80s are gone, but Miami's Casablanca allure, the undercover cops and the attitudes of Michael Mann's culturally influential television series have been enhanced by time in the feature film version of Miami Vice.

Ricardo Tubbs (Academy Award® winner Jamie Foxx of Ray, Jarhead) is urbane and dead smart. He lives with Bronx-born intel analyst Trudy, played by British actress Naomie Harris (28 Days Later, upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean II and III), as they work undercover transporting drug loads into South Florida to identify a group responsible for three murders.

Sonny Crockett (Colin Farrell of S.W.A.T., The New World) ]to the untrained eye, his presentation may seem unorthodox, but procedurally he is sound] is charismatic and flirtatious until-while undercover working with the supplier of the South Florida group-he gets romantically entangled with Isabella, the Chinese-Cuban wife of an arms and drugs trafficker. Isabella is played by the Chinese actress Gong Li (Raise the Red Lantern, Memoirs of a Geisha).

The best undercover identity is oneself with the volume turned up and restraint unplugged. The intensity of this case pushes Crockett and Tubbs out onto the edge where identity and fabrication become blurred, where cop and player become one-especially for Crockett in his romance with Isabella and for Tubbs in the provocation of an assault on those he loves. Miami Vice, as a large-scale feature film, liberates what is adult, dangerous and alluring about working deeply undercover...especially when Crockett and Tubbs go to where their badges don't count...

My Ratings and Views: 9/10. Solid Movie! A MUST WATCH and its even worth it to watch again! The plot and the dialouges are simply marvelous. The characters, mainly Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell is so suited for this movie! Their calmness, intelligence, their plot...everything! But as for Gong Li...She must brush up on her English and put on more makeup. Should ask Maggi Q to act for movies liked this.

Last But Not Least.... Presenting.....

6) Ju On 1& 2 : A Volunteer home care worker, Nishina Rika (Megumi Okina), enters the home of a bed-ridden patient and discovers a strange ghostly presence lurking behind a door sealed with duct tape. Her discovery unleashes a horrible evil which baffles police investigators, who find that a whole series of people have gone missing from this particular house.

Further Investigation leads to Izutni Toyama (Miss Uehara), a former detective who handled the case of a man who murdered his wife in the house, but whose son was never found. But when the angry “Ju-On” spirit of vengeance that has infected the house reaches beyond its boundaries to kill Toyama and his daughter, Rika realizes that the horror is spreading.

Worse, unless something is done about it, she feels she may become the angry spirit’s next victim!

My Ratings and Views : 10/10. This show has been my all time favourite! Especially Ju On 2, the plot and horror is just there! From the start of the movie till the end, my eyes kept staring at the screen and thoughts just ran wild! The Ju-On Boy is DAMN CUTE too (I know many will say im mad...). haha... I love him! Running around scaring people! But I will not like to have any encounter with his mother... shes just...fierce... There is Ju-On series selling at VCD Stores... You just got to watched that to understand Ju-On 1.

For Ju-On 2, You got to watch the whole movie, piece them up together in order to understand why this and that happens... Besides Ju-On, another movie i will strongly recommend is SHUTTER. Another fierce horror movie...But nothing beats Ju On yet... hehe (Im bias here..)

Thats all guys... after My Taiwan trip, Movies Review III will be up! Stay Tune!
