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 [...]

Iron Man - Quite Possibly My Favorite Superhero
May 2nd, 2008 · 18 Comments · Fantasy & Sci-fi, Movie Reviews
For the short attention span readers of my site, if you wish to watch a tiny extra clip of the movie that most people may miss, defy the urge to leave the theatre when the end credits start rolling. Stay till the very end for a tiny reward. Now, that’s all you need to know. [...]

Of The Spiderwick Chronicles, Shopping, And Wedding Dinner
March 23rd, 2008 · 4 Comments · Diary, Fantasy & Sci-fi, Movie Reviews
“I have nothing to wear,” I screamed in desperation. “How about that blue shirt of yours?” Cynthia suggested. No way I was going to wear that for a wedding dinner because I have already worn that on another one. OK, don’t panic. Simply hit the Orchard road and pick something. The dinner was at 7.30pm. I have just woken [...]

Jumper - Now, I Wish I Could Do That
February 16th, 2008 · 6 Comments · Fantasy & Sci-fi, Movie Reviews
I am not going to deprive you the pleasure in discovering what “jumpers” are or where they come from - though I doubt if you can find all the answers from watching the film alone. It is rare to find a film that despite having so many flaws, it is still very entertaining to the core. [...]

Why Do Grown-ups Watch Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium?

Today (21st) was TK’s birthday so I gratefully let him choose what he wished to watch. “Can you choose for me? I have a Christmas party to attend,” said TK over MSN. I looked at the list of movies available and we have almost covered all of them. “Erm …,” I replied, “We can have [...]

The Golden Compass - A Promising Beginning Of A Potential Trilogy
December 9th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Fantasy & Sci-fi, Movie Reviews
When Nicole Kidman first made an appearance in the movie, the dinning hall scene struck a certain sense of familiarity. I whispered to Cynthia, “That dinning hall reminds me of my University days.” Turns out that some scenes were filmed in Oxford, UK (not sure if that particular scene was). As far as I can [...]

“Beowulf” - Now, What Have They Done To The Epic Poem?
November 16th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Fantasy & Sci-fi, Movie Reviews
Why do I watch that many movies lately, I do not know. It may be the sign of work starting to get into me and watching movies seems like an easy way out for lack of a more creative way to spend my spare time. Perhaps what Michael Watkins wrote in his book “The First [...]

Stardust - What Are You Waiting For?
November 3rd, 2007 · 6 Comments · Fantasy & Sci-fi, Movie Reviews
It is not easy to find something bad to say about “Stardust” though some critics have tried. If you subscribe to the feel-good-romance kind of movie set in a fantasy background, I think you can easily fall in love with this. The converse can be true too. Therefore there are always movies that some enjoy [...]

Resident Evil: Extinction - Expect The Worst Seems To Work For Me

I am almost sure that by the time Lora reads this post, she will raise her fists high in the air and protest that it is yet another writeup on a zombie movie, which she sort of did after reading Planet Terror. One fine day, knowing that Cynthia is out of town, TK messaged me: [...]

Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer - Is This Better Than The Previous One?

Same reason why I have to catch Ocean 13 asap, I found myself inside Orchard Cinelesiure the second time in the same week. And what’s up with Cinelesiure? It is perpetually crowded with youngsters dressed in hip outfit. Is this the school holiday period? Check this out. We spotted Singapore Idol contestants Joakim and Paul [...]
