review on Murderer 殺人犯

Thanks to Nuffnang, i just watched one of the most disturbing movie of the year. Not only it was disturbing, it was quite "DUH".

With the award winning actor Aaron Kwok 郭富城 acting as Ling in this movie, i was quite confident that this movie won't go any wrong anyhow.

That was before i entered the cinema.

Everything was pretty well done, from the start of the whole mysterious horrifying scene, the various strong characters that were built and shown, to where it shows that every single clue and evidence points that Ling is the murderer in the serial killing cases.

Everyone was kept in the dark about the truth and i was busy guessing who was the actual killer as i was pretty sure that Ling won't be the killer himself.

and when the movie reaches till the last few stages, i was right!! BINGO!! but the whole twist to the storyline, how the truth was revealed and what really happened was all pretty laughable. It was like a big joke, imagine like your bf/gf of several years suddenly tell you that she/he never loved you before or your parents revealed to you that they're not your biological parents. Darn.

I thought that it was pretty stupid that the storyline turned out to be that way where i felt totally speechless at the end of the movie. You'll understand what i'm saying if you watch it.

Good thing that Chang Chun-Ning 張鈞甯 was in the movie, an actor i liked since she got popular through the series The Hospital 白色巨塔 which i've followed previously.

SONNY BEST LA!!! 仔仔很屌!!!

Go watch this movie IF AND ONLY IF you're a big fan of Aaron Kwok 郭富城 bah if not don't waste your time. Like seriously.

My Rating for this movie is 5/10
*3 for Aaron's acting, 1 for Chang Chun-Ning 張鈞甯 and 1 more for 仔仔!! 仔仔 FTW!!
**oh and i think Aaron can be the HK version of Joker. Don't you think? With the pictures above he can kick Bruce Wayne's ass man!

review on Laughing Gor 之变节 : Turning Point

It was just last night i watched this movie with a couple of friends at Tropicana Mall. The first day of screening for this movie in Malaysia.

Before this, i've been following a specific police trainee 学警 drama series by Hong Kong TVB all these years from On the First Beat (学警出更) to The Academy (学警雄心) to E.U (学警狙击) and there's this character call Laughing Gor (Laughing哥) in the last mentioned series E.U which captured the hearts of millions of viewer all over the world and i even blog about a group on facebook created just for the character itself having more than 100 thousand users joining it.

The infamous character, Laughing Gor with the acting of Michael Tse 谢天华, a Hong Kong actor who didn't really shine through out his 20 years of carrier gained instant fame during the broadcast period of the series and almost immediately they decided to film a movie out of the character itself.

and the character itself is NOT the main character in the drama series. LOLx. With 2 award winning best actors along the years 黄秋生 Anthony Wong and 呉鎮宇 Francis Ng who are both well known in Triads (三合會/黑社会) related film, i must say that this movie is one of the best Hong Kong made Triad film since Internal Affairs 无间道 and i felt that its filmed in a way more similar to the Young & Dangerous 古惑仔 movies which i like quite a lot.

Though Michael Tse 谢天华 is the main character in this movie, i kinda feel that both黄秋生 Anthony Wong and 呉鎮宇 Francis Ng had more scenes and presented more in this movie itself.

It is a movie talking about spies. The police force sending spies into the triads and vice versa with lotsa complications in between. Just like Internal Affairs 无间道, this movie describe a little here and there about the life being a spy betraying people and the dark side of it not able to convert back and lead a normal lives and such.

As usual, I won't really talk much about the storyline itself as i would prefer you heading to the cinema to watch it yourself. Its a great movie i think by Hong Kong and of course, there are quite a few parts where its funny and such.

and oh, Fala Chen 陈法拉 was given a role to be Laughing Gor's girlfriend in the movie. Good news for all the people out there that like her. Like me. Haha. I must say that her acting is good in this movie although she's given a smaller role compared by the names mentioned above, i still enjoy watching the movie with her in it.

At the end of the movie, the MAIN CHARACTERS in the Hong Kong Drama series E.U (学警狙击) made a cameo appearance. Though 黄秋生 Anthony Wong and 呉鎮宇 Francis Ng played quite an important role in this movie, i still think that Michael Tse 谢天华 did his little magic as Laughing Gor in this movie and i still like that character itself with a big smile coming out from the cinema hall.

For those who love the drama series and the character itself, you must go and watch this movie, for those who have no idea who's Laughing Gor and what's E.U (学警狙击), you can still watch this movie as an independent film itself. Do watch it!! =)

My Rating for this movie is 7.5/10

review on District 9

Woots! I just came back from the screening of District 9 at Cineleisure! All thanks to Sony Pictures.

It was not an ordinary movie, with lots of strong and firm values it in.

Not those kinda Aliens invade Earth movie where you would see war declared between both sides and president of US negotiating and such, Nope not those. The whole time line of the story in this movie have a total span of 20+ years with an unknown giant alien aircraft appearing in the sky in South Africa at the start of the movie.

The rest of the story i shall leave it to you yourself to go and find out in the cinema. =)

Basicly, the themes of this movie are quite well translated and it was pretty much into many hearts i believe when the world is going to watch it when it is officially out.

It was about 2 sides and which sides are you at. The main character of this movie, who was originally on the human side was caught in the middle negotiating on behalf of the humans changed sides later on. Unwillingly of course but there is no other way.
*sounds like Sarah Kerrigan for me. xD if you know who she is

What message does it brings to you, that is up to you to translate then. Hmm.

It just reminds me of the political scene of Malaysia though especially this one person who was once the deputy prime minister of Malaysia. I call him A.I. Lets not start on that then, watch it then you'll get the picture!

Anyways with the way on how they film the gun fights and such with alien weaponry, it was very realistic and i'm sure you'll get Wow when you watch them. Of course, siu mui mui and siu di di below the age 18 are advise to be with their parents when they watch it. Its pretty violent i must say. Involve lotsa blood here and there.

and for those who are going to watch it, expect a rather dull period at the start of the movie and it would be more and more interested later on. Oh and i must say that not everyone would accept this movie. =)

My Rating for this movie is 7/10.

review on On His Majesty's Secret Service 大内密探灵灵狗

Just came back from a YumYum session of IndoMee at Williams and was at Tropicana City Mall before that for the movie His Majesty's Secret Service 大内密探灵灵狗.

A movie starring Louis Koo (古天乐) and Barbie Hsu (徐熙媛) where the story runs in China when they were still emperors ruling with the story going around in the forbidden city. It was a typical Chinese movie storyline with some of the ministers planning to overthrow the current emperor and the good guys come out to save the day.

There was this 12 Royal Guards including Royal Dog the main character in this movie and of course the head of Eunuchs, Unicorn starred by Louis Fan (樊少皇)

Though there's actors/actress from Taiwan/China, this Hong Kong production is one of the many lousy movie made since the days of Young and dangerous 古惑仔, Gamble 赌 series and Infernal Affairs 无间道. The storyline is just fine and the ones in the movie were good in acting and such but there isn't a single point where you would go Wow, i didn't expect that!! This is good stuffs!!

There were lotsa parts that have the comedy factor in it but it was either too stupid or too lame and i don't really feel the HAHA in it.

Nor i feel WAHH!

The peeps in Hong Kong really need to do something with it i think. Make more films like Ip Man 叶问 or Look for a Star 游龙戏凤. Well the movie is still much watchable la, just for spending your time and relaxing that is. =)

I do hope that 风云 Storm Riders 2 that will be coming out end of this year is good.

My Rating for this movie is 6/10

review on GI Joe The Rise of Cobra

Thanks to UIP, i managed to catch this specific movie 2 days earlier than the official screening day in Malaysia just yesterday night. Asked Hing Swee at the very last hours to the movie meeting up with a few of the close ones at Mid Valley around 9pm.

If you're one of the 1980s babies then i'm quite sure you've heard about G.I Joe before or perhaps watch the cartoon on TV before. Though some of you might be same like me as i don't have much memories on this cartoon, not as much as Transformers, all i remembered is this super ultimate bad guy with a mask on wearing some uniform with the cobra logo and there's a big cobra statue in their base.

and i don't remember anyone on the good side, the Joes. lolx

Alright, i'll keep the spoilers at minimum and talk about how good/bad is this movie. I'll try. Haha. No promises.

It is a movie filled with action, CG graphics, a storyline which is pretty good, not awesome but just nice, and the movie was quite fast in terms of pace. The whole story focuses on this awesome kick ass nano technology ultimate weapon where the bad guys and good guys fighting over it.

and i like the storyline on how they slowly build up the storyline for me to understand every bit of the story in this movie, how did the hating come and such and why did he have to do so, what actually happen back then and such.

Short to say, i had enough time to digest part 1 before it goes to part 2 and it was good that way.

There were a few humorous scenes here and there along with a few flashbacks as well.

and hmm, what more...

There're kick ass ninjas in this movie!

There're some high-tech multi-million weaponry suits where your body will act faster than usual, when you think about doing something, you are already doing it Lolx.

and There're these secret bases which i use to always imagine myself being in such places when i was a little kid. =X

and and and uh oh the BARONESS is teh hawt! =X =X =X

I was only a bit disappointed on their CG graphics scenes. There were a few scenes where its kinda TOO fake for me, and that's why i think that Transformers 2 is still the best movie this year.

Scarlett is teh hawt as well but i still prefer Baroness xD

So, after all i didn't really reveal much about this movie right?

Lolx The best part of the movie was at the end of the movie where everything gets really exciting. There's even this super awesome aircraft, the suborbital NIGHT RAVEN that cruises at a top speed of Mach 6 ifyouknowwhatimtalkingabout because imyselfalsodontknowwhatamitalkingabout. =X Mach 6 wor. Swt.

Its a nice movie and all and its definitely worth your money watching it in a cinema so do head to the cinema to get all the action of Baroness the Joes! Thanks to UIP again and of course the one who got it from UIP youknowwhoyouare. =)

My Rating for this movie is 8/10
*to the bloggers who're going to the screening tmr, enjoy! xD
