My Comments: I was watching this movie back at home during Chinese New Year and guess what I have not watch this movie until today. Life Of Pi is a movie directed by award winning director Ang Lee and it should promises to be one of the best movie of all times. This movie was remarkable overall with a lot of moral values that we can learned throughout this movie. It was a great journey for Pi where he lost his family on a ship journey to Canada after their ship was than swept away by a strong storm at the sea and only to see Pi alive with some animals including the Zebra and Tiger. How Pi survives on the boat together with the animals as one of them (Tiger) is a Herbivore and eats meat. How can Pi train the Tiger to follow his instructions? It was a great journey until Pi finally landed safely and how's the relationship with the Tiger? It was full of moral values in this movie and of course it relates with God or Allah. I would strongly recommend you to watch this movie. Forget about the action nor love relationship but this movie is purely a truly moral documentary story that touches all walks of life with a true story. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5

_______________________________________________________ 

My Review: It's my first time watching the Star Trek movie and guess what I found yet another excellent movie and worth to watch as it has the so called 'kick' as Star Wars. This movie talks about government, politics, friendship & couple conflict. The war begins at the Galaxy as humans battle in between where there's conflicts in the federation. The good & bad fighting each other to claim their rights. It was an action packed movie as well as several suspense scenes can be found on this movie. With the famous director J.J. Abrams, his direction and the storyline is simply superb as you can see how he twist and turn the storyline into perfection and we understand clearly what he is trying to present to its audience. With the strong supporting actor and actress such as Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Leonard Nimoy and many more, this movie is definitely a movie to catch if you have not. After you watch this movie, then you can proceed to watch the continuous episode of Star Trek which is Star Trek: Into Darkness which just released in 2013. A great movie to start with before proceeding to another chapter. If you like fantasy and galaxies movies, then this is is just right and suitable for you. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5 (PERFECT)

My Comments:  This would be the last chapter of Lord Of The Rings and the journey continues as I am free today to watch it. Among the 2 previous Lord Of The Rings series, this would be the ending and since it's the ending, it would be one of the best series of all time and Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King will be always remembered and taunted as the best movie of the 20th century. It has everything created perfectly from its plot, casts, action, cinematography and many more. This final episode focuses more on war and battle between the evil and good kings and the good ones are battling it to save the world. It was a great great battle till the end and it was totally magnificent. I have got nothing to say about this movie anymore as it was too good to be true as it was splendid and worth every time of watching it although it lasts for about 4 hours 15 minutes and I bet you are not going to be tired or going to say too long while watching this movie.

______________________________________________________

My Comments: After watching the 1st Episode of Lord Of The Rings - The Fellowship Of The Rings, the journey continues on the 2nd chapter. It was a great storyline on the first chapter and what about the second chapter? I watched this 2nd chapter via DVD and I find out that this movie is much more better than the first one. Introducing Lord Of The Rings - The Two Towers. It talks about the war between Saruman and the Hobbits accompanied by it's ally. The movie is more action packed than the first chapter while the storyline has become more and more interesting and the second chapter would be definitely better than the first chapter. I was so impressed by Peter Jackson whose idea was splendid and great. In terms of storyline, plot and the action in this movie, it was a step ahead of everything and I would like to give a big applause to him. You must watch this movie no matter what as it is one of the best movie ever in the early 20th century. Be sure you watch the first chapter first before proceeding to watch the second chapter as it's heavily related and linked together. Enjoy this movie.

My Comments: Finally I manage to get to watch this movie and many of you would have taught that I am so outdated. Yes, I am so outdated and the movie I've watch is previously one of the most anticipated movie of all time where this movie got lots of awards and being awarded the best movie of the year award. Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring is the movie I am watching. It was a great movie of all times, gathering a few tribes around the world and to fight for justice and to protect the ring from being held back by the bad enemy. The storyline was perfectly executed and it was a great adventurous movie as well thanks to the director Peter Jackson wonderful plot and its storyline. The plot looks alive and kicking where the famous actor and actress such as Elijah Wood, Sir Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Liv Tyler, Sean Astin etc. looks very strong in supporting this movie. It was also an action packed movie from the start till the end and I was very amazed by movie as well. This movie running time is about 208 minutes of fun, thrilled and suspense which gives its audience nothing to be bored about and you can fully concentrate on this movie as well. This movie is quite similar like Alice In Wonderland and Harry Potter but this movie is much more better in terms of everything including the plot, storyline and action. I guess most of you would have watch this movie before 10 years back and if you have not, kindly purchase a DVD and watch this movie at home. No regrets just amazing!

Synopsis:

A devastating betrayal sends James Bond from Australia to Italy and South America on a mission of vengeance that pits the suave super-spy against a powerful businessman with diabolical intentions. Betrayed by Vesper, 007 (Daniel Craig) suppresses the urge to make his latest mission personal as he teams with M (Judi Dench) to interrogate Mr. White (Jesper Christensen). It soon becomes apparent that the organization behind the blackmailing of Vesper is more powerful than Bond and M had previously anticipated, and after discovering forensic evidence that links an MI6 traitor to a bank in Haiti, Bond immediately sets out to gather more intelligence. Once in Haiti, a case of mistaken identity leads Bond into the company of the ravishing Camille (Olga Kurylenko), a dangerous beauty with her own vendetta. It's Camille who leads Bond to a ruthless businessman named Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), who is soon revealed to be the mastermind of a powerful but clandestine organization. Greene is conspiring to corner the market on one of the world's most precious natural resources, and in order to make that happen he has forged a deal with an exiled general named Medrano (Joaquin Cosio). By enlisting the aid of his many associates and using his vast resources to force contacts within the CIA and the British government into bending to his will, Greene plans to overthrow the current regime of a Latin American country and hand control over to General Medrano in exchange for a parcel of land that appears barren on the surface, but actually houses a natural resource that will make Greene the most powerful man on the planet. But Bond's mission to uncover the culprit who blackmailed Vesper and prevent Dominic Greene from exerting his will on the entire world won't be easy, because now everyone from the CIA to the terrorists and even M are out to get him.

My Comments: Today I am at home getting ready to watch the Skyfall tomorrow and today I have some recap on some of Daniel Craig's (Bond) old movie which is Quantum Of Solace. I watch this movie is to specially countdown to the next Bond movie. Frankly speaking, I watch this movie before in 2008 but could not remember how this movie goes and today I watched it again. It was an action packed movie yet entertaining and lots of mystery to solve. The storyline is easy to understand and guess what is happening and Bond have to overcome a lot of mystery and consequences as he wanted to catch and kill the bad guy that setup Bond. Firstly it was hard to understand the storyline as there's a lot of character inside this movie but as it go along, you will be able to understand this movie and guess what is going to happen next till the ending. Daniel Craig performed very well in this movie including Judi Dench who had been acting in Bond movie for such a long time and does not dissapoints as well. No doubt, this movie is one of the best movie in 2008 and now in 2012, there it goes again. Anyway, before you watch Skyfall, you should treat yourself with this movie and get yourself warmed up before the next Bond movie. I would recommend you to watch this movie via DVD and enjoy yourself. MY RATING: 5/5

My Comments: Today I am at home and planning to watch DVD on a long weekend. This time I have chosen Men In Black 3 as my choice of DVD movie this time around. As you know there are too many movies out in cinemas where we are unable to catch most of them unless you are very free and have nothing to do. Men In Black 3 is a very cool and adventurous movie and it talks about special mission to save planet world. Lead by famous singer and experience actor Will Smith, this movie is really a great movie to catch and you can apparently laugh out loud on this movie as well. The storyline is simple but it's packed with actions but just some mild actions that can be seen. It's not too offensive and the weapon they use to kill the enemy's is mostly the space guns. It was entertaining where the storyline goes like this where Will Smith try to save the Agents from dying and he must travel back in time to save the world. Can he do it? Overall, I would recommend you to get yourselves a DVD to watch this movie where once again it was fun and entertaining movie to catch and it's almost as nice as its previous Men In Black series. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5

My Comments: I watch this movie at home and I find this movie something special for me that I have not watch it before. This is a suspense yet funny movie to watch particularly some famous artistes acted in this movie. With the acts from Jack Lim, Rynn Lim, Landy Wen and Huang Qi Ming, this movie sets to be one of the most successful suspense movie in Malaysia. It was filmed in Kuala Lumpur and it talks about the triads who wanted to get the secret bank code that was embedded at a pen drive where it then involved the 3 gyus (Rynn Lim, Jack Lim & Huang Qi Ming) and they have find a way to escaped as the triads know that the 3 guys are keeping it. What will be the story about? Catch the suspense in this movie as the chase goes on and on. The storyline is very well documented and it gives it's audiences a guess on who is the person keeping the secret code. The jokes in this movie is limited presuming that this is a suspense movie and not much into comedy. It was a great movie to watch and this movie is just like those Hong Kong Triads movie but this one is slightly more into Malaysian Triads style. I would recommend you to watch this movie and I think you won't be regretting watching it as well. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5

_______________________________________________________

My Comments: I watch this movie via DVD at home and guess what this movie is nice to see too. The moral of the story is very clear cut and it teaches and educate the society on how to be a good person instead of a bad person. This movie also shows a lot of moral values as well as the scenarios and thing currently happening on the Singapore Society now and in the past. Besides a great storyline and well documented story, this movie also contains several jokes that would laugh out loud and would not make this movie bored. There's very less action in this movie and the actions are pretty mild and not violent. Director Jack Neo is back again to direct this movie and in my opinion, he maintain his credibility and professionalism in directing this movie and it's overall very nice indeed. I enjoyed watching this movie throughout the 120 minutes and with the casts of Daniel Chan, Cherry Hsia, Shawn Lee and Eric Moo. All these artists acted well in this movie and the best comes from Cherry Hsia who I think acted very cool in this movie and the second best is from Daniel Chan where this is the first time I saw acting because his profession is into singing. Anyway, it's a great movie to watch for the whole family and you will not regret it as it teaches you good moral values. Enjoy. MY RATING: 4/5

____________________________________________________________

My Comments: I watch this movie at home and here's a short review about this movie. This movie consists of Malaysian and Singapore artist and there's a Hong Kong Star Maggie Shiu Mei Kei who was in this movie as well. It talks about 2 forensic pathology who help three ghosts to fulfill their wishes. This movie is particularly a funny movie and it's not scary at all just like the title Ghost Buddies. The storyline is pretty simple and easy to understand. This movie is heavily spoken in Hokkien then any other languages like Mandarin or Cantonese. If you know how to listen to Hokkien, then it would be more funnier when they talk compared for those who just watch the subtitles. The storyline is very meaningful and it talks about help among humans and ghosts and the moral in this story in pretty meaningful and nice too. I would recommend you to watch this movie as the funny casts like Mark Lee and Lim Ching Miau really impress its audience with tonnes of laughter while Maggie Shiu Mei Kei doesn't look comfortable in this movie with her character and her spoken Mandarin Language as well. Enjoy! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5

________________________________________________________

My Comments: Today I saw this movie via DVD and I was amazed with the movie with several reasons. The location of this film makes me amazed while another reason is because the quality of the movie has a great quality and has the compatibility against the Hollywood movie. Introducing The Viral Factor. This movie is filmed 20% in Jordan and the remaining 80% filmed in the hearts of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was an action packed movie with the casts of Nicholas Tse and Jay Chou who filmed this movie at several places in Kuala Lumpur including Putrajaya, Police Headquarters, KL High Court, Jalan Bukit Bintang, KLCC and Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. Not only that, this movie has several action scenes that was filmed in Kuala Lumpur and it's first of its kind in Malaysia where no international movies had done this before besides a movie from Jackie Chan years back. Have you seen cars being knocked off the streets of Kuala Lumpur and most importantly have you seen car bang into Pavilion and several shops located around Putrajaya and Bukit Bintang area and the shooting scenes around KL town?

Well, this movie says it all as it contains all these elements inside and now you see it. The action was great while the storyline was good too and it has the quality as per Hollywood type of movie. Also the casts which give a huge boosts to this movie and of course it will be Jay Chou second action movie of all after The Green Hornet. Nicholas Tse has the required experience for lots of action movie as well. I would recommend you to watch this movie if you have not watched in big screens before and you won't regret watching this movie. Thanks to Dante Lam who had chosen Malaysia as it's destination for filming of this movie and it was impressive. Once again, you should watch this movie. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5

__________________________________________________________

My Comments: Today I watch this movie at home by grabbing an original DVD for myself. I am a big fan of Police Story and Laughing Gor drama had always being my favourite and now it had been out on big screen in cinemas where everyone can enjoy it. Before I watch this movie, I would have known that this movie talks about Police Story and it's all about triads and a betrayal between police forces and the bad groups. The big casts are doing a very good job in this drama including Michael Tse, Francis Ng and Chapman To as well as Kara Wai. If you love to watch the drama, you should love to watch this movie and in this movie, there's no love story but it contributed to a lot of action and fight as well as some scenes with a pool of blood. The killings had been very brutal in certain scenes but the storyline is well documented by Herman Yau. I would say this movie is good and some of you may not like this one or may not understand in the beginning but as the movie goes on, you will tend to understand what it trying to say. A simple storyline yet challenging as you are eager to know who is the bad guy behind the scenes as well. Laughing Gor fans, you should love this and if you are not, you can stay away from this movie and you will treated it as boring. Since I am a big fan of Laughing Gor, no doubt I will give good marks for this movie. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5

__________________________________________________________

My Comments: The Muppets is one of my favourite movie as I really admire these characters when I was small. Despite falling to go to cinemas to catch this movie, I borrowed a original DVD from my friend and I manage to watch this movie. This movie comprises of certain favourite Muppets chracters such as Kermit The Frog, Miss Piggy and the combination of the Muppets to making this movie is pretty awesome and if you are a big fan of musical drama movie, this movie just suits you big time with lots of great singing performances as well as dance performances as well. The storyline was pretty easy to understand and there's no science fiction in this movie to make this movie more interesting. It was a simple and well documented movie that everybody can understands pretty easily.

_______________________________________________________

My Comments: Today I am very free and thinking of what to do, I've decided to watch a movie borrowed from my friends. It's a DVD movie and when I read the title of this movie, I taught that this movie has to do with Zoo and I realized that it wasn't. It was talking about a clueless male model who had been trained and being betrayed to kill the Prime Minister Of Malaysia. This movie had been apparently banned in Malaysia as it involves the assassination of the Prime Minister Of Malaysia and futhermore the Prime Minister is a Chinese which named Hassan. The Director of this movie, who is Ben Stiller himself has a great anticipation on this movie and his role in this movie really good as well. There's a lot of laughter in this movie and it would be one of the great movie to watch as well. The plot was great and the storyline was simple and easy to understand.

__________________________________________________________

My Comments: I missed the chance to watch it in Cinemas so I've decided to watch it at home instead by watching original DVD. It was indeed a great movie to watch and I can imagine that I am back to the life of the school days and it was indeed memorable. This story tells about a male and a female both known each other on the same class and they fell in love with each other. This guy is very playful and do not want to study until he knows this girl where he started to study after he know the girl as the girl taught him and finally he passed his exam thanks to her. Then both of them graduated and then extend their studies to university. There, their relationship began to turned sour and then they involved in an argument. After that, everything turns differently where the guy had become a novel writer while the girl will get married with a guy that she known while working. It was all memories till then where it's the guy turn to write the experience he had during adolescence time. It was a truly real and touching story for all to watch especially the young or adults where you can actually recall your school days memory. It was a well documented movie and congratulations to the director Giddens Ko who had apparently bring us back to old times. A great movie to watch with no regrets. MY RATING: 5/5

My Comments: Truly, I miss this movie in cinema and I regret that I did not watch it. But I manage to watch at my DVD set. This movie is truly a wonderful and perfect movie in the chinese movie industry. Again, Ip Man is back again with its beautiful and wonderful martial arts and also in combination of sorrow, happiness and a great storyline between the Chinese and the Western people. It was almost same like Ip Man 1, Ip Man 2 story continues from Ip Man 1 and the sequence of this movie was perfectly made too and almost same as Ip Man 1 style. If you love Ip Man 1, then you will definately love this movie as I would say the director had successfully made this movie. If you haven't watch, then you better get yourself a DVD to watch it as you will love it. Definately no regret!!! MY RATING: 5/5

My Comments: I was at home throughout the day today and nothing to do on a public holiday. So I would like to say thanks to my brother Alan who borrow me a DVD movie to watch at least to kill off my time today since Kimmy is working today. He borrowed me 14 Blades and the movie was overall good. Donnie Yen and Kate Tsui did very impressive in this movie as their chracteristics was very dynamic and tough. This movie is actually based on the old chinese times during the Ming Dynasty. This movie includes everything you want including action, thriller, love story and sad scenes which gives its audience mixed feelings while watching this movie. A great combination of artists makes this movie pretty good and entertaining as well with the martial arts shown by Donnie Yen, Wu Chun and Kate Tsui. If you like martial arts, this is the movie you've been waiting for and I bet you will love it from the start till the end. The storyline meanwhile was good and kind of difficult to understand as well in the start but it started to picking up during the half way of the movie. If you haven't watch it, get yourself an original DVD and watch it as I would totally recommend to you. MY RATING: 5/5

My Comments: It was such a shame that I did not watched this movie back in 2008 as I've missed it. Many people say including my brother said that this movie is a very recommended to watch as it was superb and amazing. Also this movie also has the similarity as Transformers but with different outlook only. Well, finally on a lovely Sunday morning at home, I have watch this movie before cinema releases the Iron Man 2 in a week's time. Overall, it was a rather fantastic movie to watch and it was a never bored movie. With most of this movie contains action and a great storyline for us to guess what is going to happen, this movie promises to be one of the most greatest movie of all time. With Robert Downey Jr. as the main actor, his acting was totally wonderful and great. I was amuzed as I watch this movie and I could have said NOT ENOUGH! Haha! Well, if you haven't watch this movie yet (I bet everyone had watched it earlier on), then please go and watch it and you would not regret it. A totally recommended movie for all of you who loves marvel comics as well for leisure. One word, GREATTTT! :) MY RATING: 5/5

DVD Movie: Mr. Bean Holiday

Release Date: 24th August 2007

Genre: Comedy

Running Time: 1 Hour 29 Minutes

Director: Steve Bendelack

Cast: Rowan Atkinson, Emma de Caunes, Jean Rochefort, Antoine de Caunes

Synopsis:

In his latest misadventure, Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) -- the nearly wordless misfit who seems to be followed by a trail of pratfalls and hijinks -- goes on holiday to the French Riviera and becomes ensnared in a European adventure of cinematic proportions.

Tired of the dreary, wet London weather, Bean packs up his suitcase and camcorder to head to Cannes for some sun on the beach. Ah... vacation. But his trip doesn't go as smoothly as he had hoped when the bumbling Bean falls face first into a series of mishaps and fortunate coincidences, far-fetched enough to make his own avant-garde film.

Wrongly thought to be both kidnapper and acclaimed filmmaker, he has some serious explaining to do after wreaking havoc across the French countryside and arriving at his vacation spot with a Romanian filmmaker's precocious son and an aspiring actress in tow. Will Bean be arrested by the gendarmes or end up winning the Palme d'Or?

My Comments: I watch this movie at Kimmy house on Wednesday night after dinner. Surprisingly, Me & Kimmy haven't watch this movie before and finally we get to catch the movie via DVD on Kimmy's newly bought DVD set and brand new 32" LCD TV. Overall, this movie is just for fun and laugh purposes. As you know, Mr. Bean is famous of its jokes and in this movie, he remained his casts and as usual he is doing his funny act as well. There are no big surprises to this movie as we could see some lame actions from Mr. Bean as seen on his short series. This story actually talks about Mr. Bean trip or vacation in France as he had to overcome some obstacles to save his dignity. Basically if you love Mr Bean movies, then this movie suits you very much and if you don't like, then I would not eloborate much. A fun movie to catch for the whole family while you are at home. Enjoy! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5

My Comments: Today is Saturday and I stayed at home to watch this movie via DVD before heading my journey back to Kuala Lumpur. I have chosen to watch this movie to relax myself after enjoying myself last night. This movie is truly a great movie to watch by people of all walks of life for the Chinese community. Besides, not only the Chinese community but other races and watch this movie too to know what is happening on the China's history in the past 1905. It combines love, action and also sad / murder scenes which makes this movie a total blockbuster and a hit among the Chinese community. I was so excited to know what is happening and as I go through the movie, I am so sad and almost in tears because of some scenes which features some brutal murder and how the people sacrifices to the country. It was an awesome movie and thanks to Director Teddy Chen, this movie promises it's audiences the best ever movies ever made for the year 2009 so far. If you have watched it, you will gave the same comments as me I believe and for those who haven't watch it, don't miss a chance and get yourself a DVD discs near you. MY RATING: 5/5
