Hi Dear all!!! Sorry for the delay... But the Long-Awaited Movie Review VI is out!!! Hope I'm not too late... There goes!!
1) Letters From IWO Jima : Sixty-one years ago, U.S. and Japanese armies met on Iwo Jima. Decades later, several hundred letters are unearthed from that stark island’s soils. The letters give faces and voices to the men who fought there, as well as the extraordinary general who led them, Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe). With little defense other than sheer will and the volcanic rock of the island itself, Gen. Kuribayashi’s unprecedented tactics transform what was predicted to be a quick and bloody defeat into nearly 40 days of heroic and resourceful combat.
My Rating and Views : 7/10. This movie lasted for 2hrs 30mins... It is not very impressive. Newspapers rated this movie 4/5 stars... To me, its ok only... Maybe because I'm an Infantry Officer, I find that some parts are really a big screw up and should not happen at all... Subordinates defying orders, communications failed big time... The General don't even know where are all his guys... Soldiers just kept retreating from base to base, not knowing what they are doing... etc... But one thing to comment is Japanese soldiers have really great fighting spirit and the never say die attitude... They rather committed suicide than surrender... Maybe thats their practice but i find it real stupid...I'm asking myself, "Why don't they retreat to gather a larger amount of fighting force and do a counter attack? Since they are not allowed to leave this Island and all are ready to die..." Especially when the SAF is going into "Thinking Solder,3G Army." Some actions they did kept me wondering... Watch this movie, recruits and cadets from the army should enjoy it. For ladies, I dun recommand this movie to you because you ladies "can't feel" what they are going through... Maybe I'm sterotyping...Don't believe? Watch it!
2) Ghost Rider : Based on the beloved Marvel comic, this live-action drama with stunning visual effects follows biker Johnny Blaze (NICOLAS CAGE) on his journey from stunt rider to agent of Mephistopheles.
My Rating and Views : 7/10. Marvel Comic movies always managed to "lure" people to watch but its really not that impressive. The only one I find it interesting is Spiderman. I find that this movie is abit "draggy" because only until almost half of the movie then Nicolas Cage became the Ghost Rider... And the bad guys die too fast... Towards 3/4 of the movie, the movie "spice up" alittle as there is another Ghost Rider still surviving from the devil! For a moment, I thought they are going to tag team and bash up the bad guys! But to my dismay, the "1st generation" Ghost Rider only sent Nicholas Cage to the front line of the battle, and left... Super turn off... To me, this movie is not worth $9.50 at all...
3) Just Follow Law : The film takes a satirical look at the inflexibility of outdated governmental rules and regulations and the rigid mindsets of civil servants who follow rules to a fault, charming and delighting audiences with its humorous and perceptive insights.
My Rating and Views : 8/10. Another Jack Neo's production! Success! I watched it with my family on Chinese New Year Eve. Its really funny! Especially when I'm working in the government sector and i can fully understand what they are trying to deliever... Fann Wong is really cute and funny! She really bring the ah lian out in her! haha... When she cursed "Nar bey" in the movie, I nearly flipped off from my seat! haha... Emails are very sensitive... They deliever it so well! I can really really relate it back to my work! especially when I got to realy so many emails in a single day due to my jobscope right now... One wrong intend in your email will cause lots of "uncessary trouble" later on... Watch it! Recommand strongly for it!
4) Epic Movie : Numerous big budget movies are parodied in EPIC MOVIE, with the central narrative allowing its cast to poke fun at films such as CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, NACHO LIBRE, SNAKES ON A PLANE, and many others.
My Rating and Views : 2/10. Don't even borther to watch this... I trying very hard to laugh at all their lame jokes... Scary Movie 1,2,3 and 4 is funny. But this movie is trying too hard to mimic Scary Movie... Wate time waste money... And just for your info, its only 1hrs 20mins... Gosh...
Alright guys! Thats all! I will post up movie reviews VII as soon as possible. I will even try to review on some DVDs which I've watched. One movie i will review on the next movie review is "I'm a Sex Addict." Pretty Intersting movie!
Stay Tune!
