Little Big Soldier

Little Big Soldier is Jackie Chan latest movie, and one of the best movie that he recently involved in.
This movie is a combination of drama and comedy. Action scene were limited and it is understandable as Jackie Chan is no longer young. Though the tone of the movie is serious, there are few hilarious moment which is really really funny.
Wang Lee Hom put up a very good acting in this movie.
I seldom see him act in a movie, but I personally think that he did a very good job as the General.
This Movie show the predicament of the people of the ancient China during the reign of Liang, Wei and Qin Dynasty.

This movie has a lot of hidden deep meaning in their actions and words they speak regarding the values of ife that chinese hold dearly in that time.
This movie will not prove to be a disappointment as the ending may not be as predictable.
Not necessarily need to watch in cinema, but you will appreciate the audience laughing together with you at the humorous part.
This movie is a must if you are Jackie Chan fan. :-)

Tiger Woohoo

After been inactive for almost a month, i come back with a movie review. :)
Tiger Woohoo is a 100% Malaysian movie, as far as I know. And personally, I think this is the best Malaysian movie ever. I urge all Malaysian that enjoy movies to support this movie by going to cinema to watch it.
It is hilarious, and a lot of jokes that Malaysian will identified. The storyline is typical but there is a uniqueness to this movie that made it different from other movie. The actors did a good job in acting, though i believe they could improve more n the future. The filming location is a good take by the director as I enjoy the surrounding.
I have no problem in watching this movie a second time in cinema. :)
Extract of the synopsis from Cinema.com.
"This movie is about a tiger dance tradition practiced in a small village (Beserah, Kuantan) during a prayer ceremony every 60 years. As the only elder who knows "Woohoo" can no longer perform, his filial granddaughter put up a misleading advertisement which in turn attracts five youngsters from different backgrounds - bad-tempered bank security man Ah Beng, indecisive Char Kuey Teow hawker Ah Huat, effeminate designer Rain, university student Bobby and smart alec Alan - to be trained as 'woohoo' players. After some tough training, they finally look like a formidable team. However, few days before the anticipated festival day, the only 'tiger head"'is accidentally destroyed by the mischievous kids in the village."

Sherlocks Holmes

A very interesting storyline which follow the book quite closely. It has some moments of laughter and action. People who like detective stories will definitely like this movie.I would say that the actors did a very good jobs in bringing each characters to life.


A recommended movie to watch either at cinema or at home. Though this movie will require you to have a good command of English so that you can understand the various terms that are being use in this movie. This movie would not attract people who like aimless action and violence only. I would suggest people to NOT watch this movie at midnight as you need alert brain to appreciate this movie.

During the 2 hour span of movie, you would rarely feel bored. The truth is, when the movie finish, I feel like the movie ended too fast. Each moment were filled with suspense and curiosity.

Avatar

First of all, I recommend people to watch this movie in the cinema. It's worth the money. It has a very good special effect especially for the environment and scenery. Besides, it is a James Cameron movie. His movie demand special attention as usual.

Anyway, the storyline and concept were quite predictive and nothing out of the norm. Middle through the movie, I already manage to predict what the hero would do... BUT nevertheless, the story is very good comparative to other movies that has come out recently.

The action scene is very nice. Personally i like the gun fight between the airship and the bird/dinosaur (alien bird la). Though I was hoping to see more of the fighting scene.

I really think the actor who act the bad guy did a very good job. ( I don't remember his name, but he is the general/captain I think). The scar in his head is cool. And he really manage to make audience hate him.

Overall, I would say this is a VERY good movie.. Though with so many movie with special effect nowadays, It's quite of the norm. If only the storyline were not so predictive for me.. I would have say "You MUST watch this movie!"

Bodyguard and Assassins

This movie is more to drama that as an action movie. Hence if you go to watch it with an expectation of lots of action, you will be gravely disappointed. But this movie concentrate on building the character. A lot of superstars act in this movie, so you will get to see actors like Nicholas Tse, Donnie Yen, Leon Lai and etc. This movie have some element of truth and fiction. I am not very sure which part and which character is fake, but i do know that the visit of Dr Sun Yat Sen to Hong Kong is true.

You will only get to see most of the action in the third part of the movie. Even this scene is quite short. But beside the action scene, you will enjoy the environment on which they act this movie. You will get to see quite a few sad scene, though at the end you wont feel so much of the sadness as we know in history that Dr Sun effort was not in vain.

I would recommend this movie to those who like stories with deep meaning. By the way, this movie can be enjoyed in DVD also, not necessarily in cinema.

Ninja Assassin

Ninja Assassin is a movie where you will see lots of blood and gore. You will like this movie if you like action movie. I would say that this movie is the best ninja movie I have seen so far. There is a lot of fighting scene where you get to see stunning move. Besides that, this movie will appeal to those who like Rain, a Korea artist. Rain acts as Raizo, the main character in this movie.

The story itself does not make much sense in a way that the plot got a few loopholes. It does not have a good character building beside the main character. You will enjoy this movie but it wont be memorable enough to watch for a second time.

It is worth to comment that you should enjoy this movie in cinema as some action scene is very dark and too fast. You will get to enjoy all the scene in the cinema. And you would love it. :) Overall I will say that this is a nice movie, but lack of my recommendation because of the poor plot. It’s not suitable for those that doesn’t like violent movie.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon

This movie is a must for those that like the first Twilight movie. It is a romance and drama genre of movie so it will appeal most to the ladies.
The plot is quite decent so it will be worth watching even though there is not much action scene. The visual is nicely done, though nothing is exceptionally as most movie nowadays got better visual effects.
Though not an action movie, watching this movie in cinema is more enjoyable that watching in DVD because it bring up the atmosphere of curiosity and romance. >,< (Not quite sure what I am talking about also, haha)
The third movie in this series is scheduled to be screened on June 2010. I never read the book version so I cant judge whether the movie is true to the original storyline. But after watching this movie, I am very curios of the third and fourth book in this saga.
The director made a good job of arousing the suspense and anticipation of the audience to see the third movie that is upcoming. After watching it, I cant wait to see what happen in the third movie. Good strategy director!
This movie will not appeal top those who like action movie and comedy. I will say that this movie is very boring and dragging if you cant appreciate romance and the storyline. For me, this movie is nice because I like the plot, not the romance. (I am a guy afterall, :) )

2012

I give this movie 2 thumbs up because of the fabulous special effects. Though I am a little disappointed with the plot and character building. The movie didn't provide a convincing plot and the character were not properly developed. But despite that, it is one of the must watch movie in the cinema because of the cutting-edge CGI special-effects technology used in the movie. The enjoyment can only be felt if you watch it in the cinema. 2 hour and a half is definitely worth every penny you spent on the tickets.
The effects itself made it worthwhile to watch second time in the cinema.


Upcoming movie that I plan to watch is Storm Riders 2, The Twilight Saga - New Moon, and Christmas Carol.:)
