Movies Review II

Must apologised to all my readers who read my blog.. I promised for this movies review 2 to be up by last week but I'm too busy settling my work and meetings. I hope Im not too late! I viewed Golden Village Website and the following movies are still screening. Actually i wanted to rate Monster House too. But it wasn't screening already...So...Anyway, there you go! Movies Review 2!!

1) Singapore Dreaming: “Singapore Dreaming” is a story about a family with big dreams, living on a small island.

Heavily in debt, patriarch Loh Poh Huat can’t help but feel bitter irony whenever he has to perform his job as a lawyer’s clerk – seizing goods from the homes of credit card debtors. At the end of his career and frustrated by the gulf between his middle class dreams and his working class reality, he takes his feelings of failure and envy out on his family.

So when Poh Huat suddenly wins two million dollars in the lottery, the Lohs start believing that maybe this windfall will deliver them from their struggles. But something happens which pitches the family into a battle where the stakes are the very meaning of life itself…

“Singapore Dreaming” is a poignant, yet darkly humorous story about a typical Singaporean family coming to grips with their aspirations. It weaves a layered and moving tale about a family dealing with loss, ambition and the search for what really matters in life.

My Ratings and Views: 1/10. A total waste of time. Supposed to be a comedy/touching show. But Funny not funny, touching also not that touching. But in this show, the mother is damn smart. Shes not that stupid after all. A slight twist towards the end. Guys, don't waste your money. Rent VCD.

2) LITTLE MAN : is a raunchy crime caper that likewise uses a grotesque fish-out-of-water scenario as its comedic focal point. Marlon Wayans plays the diminutive and unquestionably weird-looking jewel thief who poses as a toddler in order to retrieve a diamond he hid with the childless-but-trying couple Daryl and Vanessa (played by Shawn Wayans and Kerry Washington). Hilarity ensues as the movie runs wild with a slew of breastfeeding jokes, crotch shots, and scatological humor that recognizes no boundaries. When Calvin's boss, Walken (Chazz Palminteri), tracks down the little man and his new family to snatch the diamond that is rightfully his, the movie turns into a familiar riff on HOME ALONE: when a criminal is after you, hit him in the crotch. Calvin and Daryl join together to defeat the evil Walken and his henchmen, and in the process learn a little something about what it means to love and be loved.

My Ratings and Views : 7/10. A good to watch show for passtime. Its really funny and entertaining. Marlon Wayans looks real cute in this movie. You might be wondering, "Are they stupid or what... The baby looks so old! They can't see meh?!" Guys... we are watching MOVIES! Well, at least this show will kept u awake and laughing for the whole 98min. Give credit to that!

3) The Banquet : When her brother-in-law, Li (starring Ge You) ascends the throne after the King’s death, Empress Wan (starring Zhang Ziyi) agrees to marry him in order to protect her step-son, Prince Wu Luan (starring Daniel Wu). Convinced that his uncle has murdered his father, the Prince Wu Luan decides to return to the palace and take revenge. Everything culminates in a night banquet where all hell will break loose…

My Ratings and Views : 7/10. This show is pretty exciting and artistic. I think this show is going to win "the best costume" in Jin Ma Jiang. Guys, it is definately more exciting than "House of the Flying Dagger". I always love Zhang Ziyi acting in Martial Arts Costumes. She just looks stunning! The songs sang by Zhang Ziyi and Daniel Wu is nice too. For people who watch this show, you all might be wondering who killed Zhang Ziyi... Did a little researched on that. She is either killed by Daniel Wu, who might not be dead yet, (If you watch the movie, the arrow which killed Zhang Ziyi was used only by Daniel Wu) or she was actually hallucinating, fearing that she might get killed someday by Daniel Wu. A movie worth watching.
