Movie Reviews XIII

Has been going out for the past 3 Saturdays/Sundays... These are the movies I've watched for the past 3 weeks! From April onwards, there will be many frames coming up.... Busy months ahead!! Meanwhile, presenting Movie Reviews XIII to you!

1) Jumper : David Rice is a "Jumper", a teleporter, who can go anywhere, anytime. He can see 20 sunsets in one day, whisk his girlfriend across the world in the blink of an eye and grab millions of dollars in minutes. However, his life takes a sharp turn when he finds himself pursued by a secret organisation sworn to kill Jumpers. Forming an uneasy alliance with another young Jumper, David enters a war that has been raging for thousands of years. Chased around the world, he discovers a stunning truth about his own past and his family. From the American Midwest to the streets of Tokyo and the ruins of Rome, David's global odyssey is the first chapter in an epic adventure.

My Rating and Views : 8/10. A very exciting and thrilling movie from the start to the end. This is one "power" everybody wished to have! Jumping from continents to continents without carrying his damn passport! However, the plot for this movie is pretty predictable.

2) 10.000 BC : Epic tale that centers on three stages in the development of primitive man, as seen through a 21-year-old hunter from a primitive tribe who must hunt mammoth to survive.

My Rating and Views : 8/10. This movie is very much liked a movie which I've reviewed on the 23 Jan 2007, Apocalypto. Its just that it is not thrilling and exciting as Apocalypto. When you watch Apocalypto, you will feel sad and angry for the Mayan tribal people... But for 10,000BC, its just pure action... I thought that the Saber-toothed Tiger will assist him in overthrowing the "bad guys"... I thought it will be more exciting this way... haha... Guys, if you like movies liked Apocalypto, you will wanna watch this as well.

3) Rule #1 : RULE #1 traces the chilling stories uncovered by the Police Force's emergency calls centre. Everyday the centre receives 185 phone calls, 180 of them are about felonies rapes, murders, robberies, kidnappings The other five begin with "there's something strange in my house.." RULE #1 tells the shocking and twisted tale of veteran cop Wong (Ekin Cheng) and rookie Lee (Shawn Yue) as they plunge head first into a series of spooky investigations.

My Rating and Views : 9/10. It has been a long time since a chinese horror movie gave me the "goosebumps feeling"... The only 2 movie which gave me that feeling are Shutter and Dark Water, both Japanese horror movies... I think Fiona Xie speaks cantonese pretty well! (Surprisingly)... Towards the end, some people might not be able to catch what is happening... (Some people might say,"hey, so wat is happening? How come suddenly liked rewind like that? So what exactly happen?") Simple... The "1st ending" is what Shawn Yue told his superior what happen and how Ekin Cheng die... The "2nd ending" is what actually happens... Definately worth your $10! Watch it!

4) An Empress and The Warriors : The story is set in ancient China before its unification, during which countless kingdoms battle for supremacy. YEN FEIER (played by Kelly Chan) is thrust onto the throne when her father is killed in battle. Feier and her loyal MUYONG XUEHU (played by Donnie Yen) unite to defend the kingdom. But her ambitious cousin Wu Ba (played by Guo Xiao-dong) sends assassins to kill her. A mysterious man Duan Lan-Quan (played by Leon Lai) saves her. Feier falls in love with Duan who offers her another life. With the fate of her kingdom in the balance, Feier must choose between her duty and her dreams...

My Rating and Views : 8/10. This is another typical House of the Flying Dagger (Shi Mian Mai Fu) and The Battle of Wits (Mo Gong) kind of movie... Still nice to watch. Not liked Curse of The Golden Flower... This show is actually quite exciting at certain point. I watched this show is because I love Donnie Yen movies... But he cannot show his street fighting skills in this "Kung fu" movie. However, he did have his "showtime" of fighting towards the end. haha... When i watch this show, I just knew that Leon Lai had some "hidden past" in him... Indeed he has... But I find that the character Leon Lai played is "under utilized"... Watched it and you will know what I am talkong about... Overall, a nice movie to catch! Will again get the Golden Horse "Best dress/attire award" haha...

In the middle of the show, my colleague just laugh at Leon Lai's name.... Notice his name in the movie is Duan Lan-Quan ... Just pronounced it with han yu ping ying Duan(4) Lan(3) Quan(3)... hahaha.... Dog with a broken dick! haha....can't stand my friend.... all mad idiots...hahaha...

Alright, thats all for this month movie reviews! Do stay tune yah! take care!

I went for my off on 2nd March 2008. As usual, I went to Gadong and happen to see this popeye bedsheet and comforter. I quietly went to buy, afraid my colleague will laugh at me (indeed...they saw it eventually and say I so old act cute! haha). Then I saw A'arif. I persuaded him to buy with me! Saying,"Hey, come on lah...buy lah... so comfortable, so cheap, and funny! If they laugh let them laugh lah!" Then he bought.... hahaha... The moment he bought it, I know even if I am being laugh at, I AM NOT ALONE!!!!! hahaa... "See! A'arif also buy wat!!!" hahaha...

This is a Jacuzzi bathtub! I when i saw the bathtub, I drove my rented car to Gadong, walked into bodyshop, bought those aroma thingy and some bubble bath stuff... Then something happen....

Moral of the story? Test your bathtub 1st!!!!! hahaha.....

Hey hey hey.... Don't even think I am eating them all! They are shared by 4 people... haha... And I don't drink. so the red wine is for the other 3. One thing I regret....not taking the white sleeping robe which im wearing...haha... Damn shiok man!
