The Dark Knight - Being the Rare One Who Cannot Connect to the New Bat Franchise

July 22nd, 2008 · 14 Comments · Action & Thriller, Movie Reviews

Erm.  Yawn?  Zzzz.
OK.  It is hard to write something knowing that over 90% of the population will disagree with.  And if I am to continue my ‘review career’, I have some serious recalibration to do.
Cynthia loves ”The Dark Knight”; I had a headache watching it.  So what happens?  I will get to that in just a [...]

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army - It is 4,900+1 Against 4+1!

July 13th, 2008 · 5 Comments · Fantasy & Sci-fi, Movie Reviews

Absurd as it sounds, I have high anticipation on Hellboy II because of Pan’s Labyrinth and the rather hot Selma Blair.  Why do I think that Hellboy’s girlfriend is sexy?  I have no idea.  Perhaps because of some of the past movies she made.
When I read that in this sequel, it is Hellboy and his [...]

The Bank Job - Nothing Like My Job For Sure (LOL!)

July 12th, 2008 · No Comments · Action & Thriller, Movie Reviews

OK.  Bad joke.  I can’t remember the exact dialogue.  When I suggested to watch “The Bank Job” last week, my buddy TK was like, “Isn’t that your job?  9 to 5 is not enough and you have to watch it on big screen?”
Duh!
Cynthia couldn’t have put it better: Before “The Italian Job” and “Ocean 11″, there was [...]

Wanted - OMG, It’s Angelina Jolie (with a Gun)!

July 5th, 2008 · No Comments · Movie Reviews

Though I must say, the focal point is at James McAvoy instead.  But still, I simply love Angelina Jolie with guns (think “Lara Croft” and “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”) and I love her attitude too.  One of a kind, truly.
You’ve got to have quite a strong stomach to take in those over the top intensive [...]

10 Promises to My Dog - A Sweet Japanese Movie That Has Mass Appeal

June 27th, 2008 · 9 Comments · Drama, Foreign, Movie Reviews

Ask ten people who have or had dogs as their companions and you may hear ten unique, at times breathtaking stories.  Without giving out any spoilers, “10 Promises to My Dog” is not one of those typical Hollywood films that involve a dog that saves the world.  There is no adventure of that sort.  Instead, [...]

The Incredible Hulk - Reload

June 18th, 2008 · 10 Comments · Action & Thriller, Movie Reviews

It’s been a crazy time at work these days so I wanted some solid entertainment.  For the lack of choices, I proposed watching “The Incredible Hulk” to my Movie Review Squad and unanimously, both TK and Cynthia loved my choice because of Edward Norton.
Edward Norton as the Hulk?!  What happens to my Hector of Troy?!
OK, I [...]

If the Birthday Girl Wants Made of Honour, the Birthday Girl Gets Made of Honour

June 7th, 2008 · 10 Comments · Comedy, Diary, Movie Reviews, Romance

Couple of weeks ago, my friendly boss dropped by my workplace - like he always does in an intraday manner to go through a checklist of 101 items with me - and he talked about “Made of Honour” instead.  He even gave a two thumbs up on that movie.  That was scary.  Was I being Googled [...]

So This is Sex and the City (A Guy’s Perspective)

June 2nd, 2008 · 22 Comments · Movie Reviews, Romance

Believe me, a hundred and one plans have flown over my head on how not to get myself into “Sex and the City”.  In a last-ditch attempt, I asked Cynthia in all feebleness, “Shall we check out the reviews on this movie just in case?”  Her response was, “It’s Sex and the City.”  Cool as a [...]

Black Book - Great Plot Filmed with a Convincing Sense of Realism

May 25th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Action & Thriller, Foreign, Movie Reviews

Gosh, it was the first time I saw an actress sitting (gracefully) in front of a mirror dyeing her pubic hair blond and I wasn’t even shy watching it.  It was so artistically filmed.  If you enjoy watching an espionage type of movie packed with high entertainment value of suspense, thriller, and seduction, this Dutch and German production [...]

Accuracy of Death, Sweet Rain, 死神の精度 - Whatever the Title is, It’s Takeshi Kaneshiro

May 19th, 2008 · 6 Comments · Drama, Foreign, Movie Reviews

OK.  I have to make this movie the final stop of my Asian Movie Marathon, take a break, and blog about something else.  This morning, I asked Cynthia who is not a big fan of Japanese movies, “Why pick this?”  Her answer was “Takeshi Kaneshiro” together with a isn’t-that-obvious look.
Isn’t that obvious that all the [...]
