Life can be like scenes from your favorite movies. Take today as an example. I felt like being Rachel McAdams in “Morning Glory“. I was excited to face the day, with added responsibility as one of our colleagues was on compassionate leave. No problem. In our team, we watch over each other’s back. We are there [...]

Tatsumi Directed By Eric Khoo

For some strange reasons, my public life as you can see here is so full of movies these days. I can assure you that my passion lies in a sea of ocean, including tracking that lost penguin on a daily basis. Poor Happy Feet. We have not heard from him since September 8. Fairy tales [...]

How To Train Your Dragon (3D) – So Darn Cute!
March 27th, 2010 No Comments
And so my obsession with the dragons continues. Knowing that we are having a road trip heading north the next day and when we are back, we will probably pick that Titan show to watch, we have got to catch this animation ths week. So we did. Again, in 3D. Seems like a trend these [...]

9, Is No Corpse Bride For Sure
September 22nd, 2009 2 Comments
I had high expectation for the animation film “9″ that bears the logo of Tim Burton. Later on, I read that Tim Burton only produces the film while the director and writer is Shane Acker. “9″ is a decent animation. Just that I love “Corpse Bride” so much better. The quality of the image animation [...]

Ponyo On The Cliff By The Sea – That Can’t Be A Gold Fish, Can That Be?
January 24th, 2009 8 Comments
Japanese imagination knows no bound, I must say. A gold fish that looks like a baby girl to me except the missing limbs and the ability to live both in and out of water. Am I the only one who wonder if I was reading the subtitles correctly? It is beyond the visual art on the [...]

WALL·E – Quite Possibly A Must Watch Movie of 2008
September 1st, 2008 10 Comments
I have high expectation on WALL·E. Somewhat close to the level of anticipation I had with “Lilo & Stitch”. And the movie delivers. What a magical experience. Don’t compromise. Watch WALL·E in a digital format. I walked into the theater with little knowledge of what the story is about beyond what I saw in the [...]

February 27th, 2008 1 Comment
Yet another voted as top 10 films of 2007 by the critics, I have got to drag my Movie Review Squad to check out this Oscar nominated animation from France featuring an Iranian young girl living through the Iranian Revolution (the film itself is in English). So much faith they have on me, I was kind [...]

Ratatouille and Blood Brothers
September 1st, 2007 10 Comments
It is one of those weeks that watching one movie is just not enough. Having read so many ravishing reviews on “Ratatouille” and since Cynthia so wanted to watch it, Ratatouille it was. An animated feature film produced by Pixar and when you hear the word “Pixar”, it just can’t go wrong. This film is [...]

The Simpsons Movie – It Is Crazy And It Is Fun
August 7th, 2007 13 Comments
After choosing three consecutive Asian movies for the Movie Review Squad, it’s time to go Western. I have not watched a single episode of “The Simpsons” on TV but somehow I knew that Cynthia and Tong Kiat would both love “The Simpsons Movie”. I was not too far from the truth. I didn’t have much [...]

Paprika and Who Slept With Her – A Mixed Review From Us
July 25th, 2007 5 Comments
After a rather disappointing outing to watch the Korean sex comedy “Who Slept With Her” last week, I tried to make amend and choose a better movie this time for the Movie Review Squad – the Japanese anime “Paprika”. Turns out that three of us have different opinions on these two movies. TK actually enjoyed [...]
