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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Why is this Thai film so named as “Chocolate”?  I still have no clue.  Maybe I was too absorbed into the hot, explosive, fast paced, bone cracking, humanly impossible fighting sequence, I walked out of the theatre (at 1.30am) feeling shocked and awed unable to process anything like: Where or who is the chocolate?  And our Asian [...]

I have to admit: the casting can’t get better than this.  Perhaps, it’s a bit too good.  Imagine these strong associations in my head while watching the movie.  At the beginning scene, the supposedly alcoholic Keanu Reeves puked at the toilet bowl and I kept thinking of “Constantine” (it’s the cigarette and lung cancer instead of the booze but a [...]

Cynthia and I have a few secret codes and signs. For instance, when we say that a film is quote unquote Oscar Material, that usually means: ya sure, it is artistic but it can quite boring (Cynthia surely did feel that way).  Okay, I personally don’t feel that bored because the acting is solid. Real solid.

We all take turn within the squad. Since TK was not particularly delighted by my last pick on “My Blueberry Nights”, I let him pick this time. When he texted me with the movie title, I turned to Cynthia and asked the Walking Life! Encyclopedia what “Eastern Promises” was about. Her immediate reply - knowing [...]

This is how the Movie Review Squad works: one of us fill in an application form 118(A) to propose a movie title and if none of us veto or veto the veto, we will go ahead with the booking - with exceptions of course. Somehow my fetish for horror flicks is always vetoed by TK [...]

The Movie Review Squad met unexpectedly at Orchard over the weekend and while Cynthia and TK were having coffee and cake at The Centrepoint, I was assigned to walk over to Cineleisure and pick a movie in the name of spontaneity. If it was up to me, I would have picked a Japanese movie for [...]
