Amboi, sampai 7 DVD????

Banyak terima jemputan raya??? Teratak saya sentiasa terbuka, mai la...

Watchmen

This movie definitely isn't for everyone. If you are expecting another Superman movie, you will be disappointed as this movie is completely different. To those who are looking for a long, complicated, deeply moving feeling, this movie will really make youthink about the concept of right, wrong and heroism.

Watchmen is a different super heroes movie experience including violent and resonant. For a person who does not know the book, like me, has a lot to digest and the brutal visuals may distract some people, so watch out. Personally, in Malaysian context, please avoid your children from watching this movie as they will never see Spiderman the same way again. I am so lucky that I only rented the DVD, if not… not worth laaaa….

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

This movie was terrible. I wasn't expecting it to be great but I wasn't expecting it to be as bad as it was. It seemed that they took a really bad, wannabe kung-fu movie added some Street Fighter names and thought that would good enough to pass it off as a Street Fighter movie.

Almost non-existent plot, bad acting and terrible fight scenes make this movie not worth the time it takes to watch it.

Race to Witch Mountain

It was a very good family oriented movie ; a blend of comedy and action and I found it very refreshing. The story doesn't try to be more intellectual than it can handle and doesn't let the special effects run wild and take over everything else.

Recommended for a family viewing but don't go expecting something out of this world, as everything's pretty probable.




Knowing

The movie has a strong start and a plot that hooked you in but the last third of the movie is very ridiculous. Too bad…









Hannah Montana The Movie

Anyone who has a young girl will enjoy this movie. In this case, I am definitely a pleased mother… anak gumbira, ibu ceria hehehe

It's not going to win an Oscar for acting but it sure entertained. I liked the music from both Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift; they have different styles. A nice family movie with a lot of music and emotions on it.



Fast and Furious 4

I've seen all Fast & Furious films and I must say that Vin Diesel has helped this latest sequel a notch above the others but… the plot has not fully develop thou the action is good and some scenes are better than the previous franchise.

Entertaining but it doesn't give us anything new to the franchise. Still, fast cars lovers will enjoy it as the racers act like rock stars!



Dragonball Evolution

This movie is a total butchering of what I had held great hopes of seeing. It attempted to follow the Dragonball anime story line, meanwhile adding a modern spin in it. What I and the other Dragonball viewers wanted to see is a storyline that follows the cartoon series without any changes and additions or probably a bit different...

Overall, the plot is weak, the characters did not look like the cartoons (ie. Yamcha, Master Roshi, Bulma), the cartoon series are much better than this. Well, I think the director and the production have not watched the Dragonball series. The characters are only similar in name and the story feels like they chewed it up and spat it out. I understand that real movie is not the same with the anime but they have taken the movie far away from the original story.

Dragonball is a hot cult because of the stylistic action and fight sequences. However, the martial arts choreography in this movie is another led down. To non Dragonball anime followers, the movie is just nice for you to see... personally to me, it is a disappointment!
