3D or not 3D? I say 3D, and go for the experience. Pleasantly surprised I was, the overall 3D effect seems to have better clarity than Avatar. I wonder why.
It must have been a long time since I last read the book “Alice In Wonderland”. All I remember were the rabbit hole, the potions, the [...]

If you love art-house type of movies, especially on the topic of poetry, you may find the highly acclaimed “Bright Star” a movie worth checking out. A story based on the life of the poet John Keats and his romantic relationship with Fanny Brawne, set in the year 1818. The drama can be intense, and the words [...]

20th Century Boys 3 – A Closure, Finally!
February 11th, 2010 No Comments
It’s a no-brainer. If you have already followed the Japanese movie adaption of the manga series, you wouldn’t wish to miss the last installment of the trilogy. If you have not heard of “20th Century Boys”, I doubt if this 156 minutes film would make much sense to you.
I was struggling to like the first installment [...]

I Enjoy Watching New York I Love You
January 24th, 2010 10 Comments
Despite the mixed review, if I am to examine why I find “New York, I Love You” a pleasurable film to watch, the list would look something like this.
I enjoy reading short stories. Short stories often has a faster pace, a metaphor, and a twist as resolution. When I was younger, I found short stories incomplete. [...]

Pardon my lateness in writing this. Given the recent turn of exciting events, I hope it is forgivable. One may ask: Why write this type of entries for every movie you watch? I am a Cancer and I am fond of collecting movie stubs. Until one day I realize that the printing on the movie [...]

Celebrated Christmas Eve With Avatar, An Impromptu Dinner Party, And A Midnight Mass

A Merry Christmas to my readers. ¡Feliz Navidad!
While we were queuing to enter the AMK Hub car park, out of nowhere, Cynthia asked what do people really mean when they say Merry Christmas to one another. Good question. I wonder how many of us genuinely ponder upon the good news of the birth of a savior [...]

Bodyguards And Assassins – One Shouldn’t Be Missed This Year, To Me
December 23rd, 2009 8 Comments
On the same day we were supposed to meet with our friend on his birthday to watch this film, I was reading “Superfreakonomics” in the morning. In this new chapter, it says we often complain about how the old days are better, but more often so it is not the case. After the film, I thought: What [...]

For the record, I am a huge fan of the Wuxia genre. I am also a fan of the original Chinese comic book series “Fung Wan”. OK, where shall I begin with this second installment? Part one is my casual thoughts, which fans of the movie may disagree. Part two is my deeper albeit random [...]

Don’t Look Back (Ne Te Retourne Pas) – An Ending Worths The Wait
December 15th, 2009 7 Comments
An European film staring Sophie Marceau and Monica Bullucci? No way I am going to miss it. At the opening of the movie, TK and Cynthia simultaneously from my right and left asked if “Don’t Look Back” is a horror show. Uh-oh. One tiny detail I have not researched, prior to the booking of the tickets. As [...]
