Yipikayee Motherfucker!
When a criminal plot is in place to take down the entire computer and technological structure that supports the economy of the United States (and the world), it's up to a decidedly "old school" hero, police detective John McClane, to take down the conspiracy, aided by a young hacker.

Muahaha.....Kaizo wanna compete with me who can finish watching Transformer and Die Hard, he lose real bad, I watched it at 11:00am today! Although i must admit, i watched it with mania, but i make this perfectly clear, i'm not a fucking gay! gays don't watch die hard, they watch brokeback mountain! Gosh, TGV JJ Seremban is really earning their pants off, even at 10:30am there was already a long line of people. Surprisingly, all of them are coming for transformers and a Tamil movie, boss something. Nobody is watching die hard, wtf, they are really missing out!
This movie really kick ass! you might think that the action is not the same anymore after Bruce Willis suffered 12 years of aging and finally lost every single shaft of his hair, but hey, you are so fucking wrong, the action is comparable if not better than the previous films! The action is so tightly packed that it's hard to breath! best of all, they do this the old school way, with minimal cg effects! The best scene i like is in the tunnel where it was just a Armageddon, car crushing and flying all over the place, it's a scene to behold! Bruce Willis take on Maggie Q is also another classic. He didn't show any mercy with the little gal and just whack the shit out off her the rough way (he was also whacked like shit, but that doesn't matter). These sent some testosterone surging into my brain and i admit, it get kinda high to see that, muahahaha....before all the females wanna pull me apart, hey, Maggie Q is the bad guy! bad guy suppose to be whacked!
My only grip in the movie is the boss die too easily. Like previous movies, the boss is well versed, well dressed and is a smart ass hole. The only difference this time is this boss is not tough enough to take on John McClane, even his girl friend (Maggie Q) did a better job than he does! Also, Justin Long (the mac guy in apple ads) is using windows in this movie, unforgivable! wtf? Apple should sack that guy and make me the new mac guy!
Final conclusion? I like this movie way better than Transformers! so this is my best blockbuster movie for this Summer (till now...who knows Harry Porter might replace it? very unlikely, but still...possible...)!
Transformers totally rocks!
A long time ago, far away on the planet of Cybertron, a war was being waged between the noble Autobots (led by the wise Optimus Prime) and the devious Decepticons (commanded by the dreaded Megatron) for control over the Allspark, a mystical talisman that would grant unlimited power to whoever possessed it. The Autobots managed to smuggle the Allspark off the planet, but Megatron blasted off in search of it. He eventually tracked it to the planet of Earth (circa 1850), but his reckless desire for power sent him right into the Arctic Ocean, and the sheer cold forced him into a paralyzed state. His body was later found by Captain Archibald Witwicky, and before going into a comatose state Megatron used the last of his energy to engrave a map, showing the location of the Allspark, into the Captain's glasses, and send a transmission to Cybertron. He is then carted away by the Captain's ship. A century later, Sam Witwicky, nicknamed Spike by his friends, buys his first car. To his shock, he discovers it to be Bumblebee, an Autobot in disguise who is to protect Spike, as he bears the Captain's glasses and the map carved on them. But Bumblebee is not the only Transformer to have arrived on Earth - in the desert of Qatar, the Decepticons Blackout and Scorponok attack a U.S. military base, causing the Pentagon to send their special Sector Seven agents to capture all "specimens of this alien race," and Spike and his girlfriend Mikaela find themselves in the middle of a grand battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons, stretching from Hoover Dam all the way to Los Angeles. Meanwhile, within the depths of the Pentagon, the cryogenically stored form of Megatron awakens...Sourced from IMDB
Watched it last Friday with a couple of friends and can easily concluded this is one of the best movie this year thus far. The story is a bit lame and the noble intention of the Autobots is a bit hard to be real but who cares, it's adapted from a cartoon in the 80s after all (no offense to the die hard Transformer fans). So how to make this more palatable to the people in the new century? Director Michael Bay made a total remake of the robots (especially megatron, he look so bad ass now as compare to his original cartoon model), a tweak into the storyline and add in a sexy Megan Fox, viola! You got another big hit box office! This movie thrills from the minute it started until the minute you left your seat!
The robots seemed so real and there was nothing to complain, i can see them transforming whole day and still said 'COOL' at the end of the day!
The actions are very fast paced and perhaps, too fast paced that sometimes i don't even know who whacked who. All the robots look the same in the heat of the battle, they looked like a pile of metals and the two most outstanding one are only Optimus Prime and Megatron, mainly because of their size.
Was not having a high expectation when i entered the cinema, but wow, it did blew me away! Spider man 3 seemed to be a total failure after you watch this. Just make sure u bring enough tissue when u see Megan Fox check out the engine of Bumblebee.
Megan Fox is the hottest babe, stand aside Megatron!
Fanstastic 4 not so fantastic at all
After the death of Dr.Doom the Fantastic Four think life is back to normal. Reed Richards and Sue Storm make plans to get married, but are interrupted when the Silver Surfer and Galactus show up, trying to destroy the earth and it's up to the fantastic four to deal with them, as well as with the return of Dr. Doom. With Von Doom back in his homeland of Latveria the fantastic four have new troubles when Galactus has decided that Earth is his next target. When his henchman, The Silver Surfer(Norrin Radd), is sent to Earth he discovers that he's getting more than he bargained for when he encounters the Fantastic Four. But that's not all when Dr. Doom decides that after two years in the homeland he is ready to return.Sourced from IMDB
The original Fantastic 4 back in 2005 had not been one of my favorite superhero movie, so the only thing that get me going to the cinema for its sequel is none other than Jessica Alba who played Sue Storm a.k.a the invisible lady. The fantastic 4 are not like your conventional superheroes, they don't hide behind masks to protect their identity and trust me, their superpowers aren't that desirable as well (well, at least for two of them, the thing who looks monstrous and Mr. Fantastic who emm...has a
The story is basically crap, with the super villian being Galactus which is an entity that devours planet and taking the shape of a very very angry looking cloud storm. Period. Nothing more about it, no dialogue, no physical shape, no personality, wtf???? how can the story go on like this? They basically just beat around the bush and showing you more Jessica Alba, which is welcoming for me
. Credits have to be given to Silver surfer who is entirely made up from CG. He is the next best thing after Jessica Alba (why am i keep emphasizing this?), he is the coolest character in the show and this sequel is all about him.In conclusion, if you can get over the fact that the gist of this movie is only about Jessica Alba, head towards the nearest cinema now! If you want to watch a emm...movie, you are in the wrong show.
The hottest thing: Jessica Alba's body
The coolest thing: Silver surfer
The most disgusting scene: Mr Elastic with his 'stunt' dance
The scene that i just can't have enough: Jessica Alba went naked after she swapped power with the human torch
The most hated being: The stupid General
Review: Pirates of Caribbean 3 - At World's End
After Elizabeth (Keira Knightly), Will (Orlando Bloom), and Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) rescue Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from the clutches of the Kraken, they must face their foes, Davey Jones (Bill Nighy) and Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander). Beckett, now with control of Jones' heart, forms a dark alliance with him in order to rule the seas and wipe out the last of the Pirates. Now, Jack, Barbossa, Will, Elizabeth, Tia Delma, and crew must call the Pirate Lords from the four corners of the globe, including the infamous Sao Feng (Chow-Yun Fat), to a gathering that will make their final stand against Beckett, Jones, Norrington, the Flying Dutchman, and the entire East India Trading CompanySourced from IMDB
Today is a very lonely day. Went to church alone. Eat KFC for lunch alone. Watch a movie alone. Jog alone. Finally end my day with eating dinner alone in Permai foodstore.
sigh...should have just go back to Bintulu.Get to watch the trailer of Transformer before the movie start. It's sooo sooo very cool, i'm sooo gonna watch it on big screen when it come out. For those of you who haven't see it, go here. Anyway, this movie provide pure 3 hours of non-stop action and there isn't any boring scene at all, unlike spidey 3. Chow Yun Fat really look bad ass, but his time on screen is too short, i think only about 1/5 of the movie or less than that. It doesn't justify why he occupy such a big space in the poster. I think the monkey win Captain Jack Sparrow hands down when it comes to making you laugh. Maybe it's just me but i think Keira Knightly has clearly lost her sex appeal compared to the first Pirates movie in 2003. I think it's her lack of figure maybe. The only time i think she is pretty is in the end when Orlando Bloom kisses her leg, well, at least their is some eye candy there.
The only thing i don't like about the plot is the final battle in the end. Where there is a huge huge fleet of East India company navy verses a very limited fleet of all the pirates lords. Well, i'm expecting a nice epic battle like what u got in Lord of the rings when i saw that scene but it never happens, the ships are for show only
. The only ships that fight are the Flying Dutchman of Davey Jones and the Black Pearl of Jack Sparrow. The other pirate lords are like cheerleaders only, wtf.Simply put, this is one of the most satisfying big budget film this year to date. If you haven't see it, help yourself to the cinema as soon as possible, it's good. Let's see whether the upcoming Fantastic Four 2, Transformer, etc can beat it. I want more Chao Yun Fatt... Captain Shao Feng!
Review: Lord of War
In the 80s in Little Odessa, the Ukrainian immigrant Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage) decides to change his economical life and becomes an arm dealer with his brother Vitaly Orlov (Jared Leto). His business of gunrunner supplying illegal weapons in disturbed areas of the planet increases with the end of the Cold War, and Yuri bribes a Russian general to sell most of his arsenal. Meanwhile, he becomes a millionaire and uses his money to seduce the beautiful Ava Fontaine (Bridget Moynahan) and they get married, having a son. The detective Jack Valentine (Ethan Hawke) chases Yuri trying to put him in jail, but in the end he understands that Yuri is a necessary evil for the interest of his nation.Sourced from IMDB
Another interesting movie watched this week. Well, it certainly change my mind about the meaning of 'weapon of mass destruction'. I always thought of it being nuclear missiles, some anthrax bombs or something that can go bomb and everybody dies. However, how many of us would have thought that simple firearms like the AK47 can easily murder more than anything in the world can. These traditionally branded 'weapon of mass destruction' which the US had keep on preventing other nations from acquiring only sits in the silo, and if my history is correct, the US was the only one who used them on a really really large scale to end the world war II (bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki). So, which is more deadly? an ak47 (the most popular rifle in the black market of Africa) or a nuclear bomb? What did i say of weapon of mass destruction again?
Another similar movie will be The Protege by Andy Lau last year. Just that one talking about drug, another on gunrunners. Both of the bad guys have the same belief - what they are doing is only simple demand and supply of economics. There is nothing wrong. They are not the one responsible for the misuse of their products. Well, this proves that greed can really blind a person's eye and heart. Now, who owns Genting or alcohol/Tobacco company stock here? I want to tell you that you are actually destroying many people's life right now! ha...is there any difference?
Cage is as monotonous as always in the movie, but this is a lot better than Ghost Rider. Watch it if you haven't.
Review: The Painted Veil

Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil is a love story set in the 1920s that tells the story of a young English couple, Walter (Edward Norton), a middle class doctor and Kitty (Naomi Watts), an upper-class woman, who get married for the wrong reasons and relocate to Shanghai, where she falls in love with someone else.

Their journey brings meaning to their relationship and gives them purpose in one of the most remote and beautiful places on earth.

This is definitely not a chick flick! It's really worth a watch. It's really amazing how far we had advanced for the past 100 years. I never imagine working in an epidemic region infested with infective organism without any proper barrier such as gloves, plastic apron, etc. It's like suicide, but we didn't have them 100 years ago, we didn't even have penicillin! Had not seen a case of cholera yet before, so really can't comment on how much of the symptoms projected in the show are fiction/real. I suppose it fits in the textbook description of 'rice water stool', but Walter kinda die too fast in the end it's a bit ridiculous (sorry for the spoiler). Oh, and Anthony Wong stars in this film as well, as the cool nationalist (i guess) colonel. All in all, it's really good show, I'll list it as a must watch.
Colonel Yu (Anthony Wong) can really speaks good english! haha..
Is Spidey losing its magic?
Got a glimpse of Spider Man 3 on it's premier day, wohoo...i'm ahead than a lot of you, haha. The third installation of this successful title, does it live up to the high expectation? The answer from me is: NO.
The 3 villians in this sequel (sand man, venom and junior goblin) add up also cannot fight doc oktopus (from the second episode). Maybe sometimes more is just not equal to good.
I think the story also kinda drag a lot, i actually get very bored at the very end of the show hoping that it'll end soon and i wanna have my dinner which i didn't feel in the previous 2 episode...some of the minor things in the story also get pretty annoying like spidey has endless spare masks in his 'secret pocket' that he can just simply change it in the hit of the battle. The cops also look like small kids standing there cheering for spiderman, what the heck is this? trust me, Tobey is not even convincing trying so hard to act like a bad boy...
okay, actually it's not that bad, it's still pretty worth your money to watch it in cinema! it's just that it's not as good as the previous 2 episodes. The spidey magic is still on, i'm sure there will be a fourth in the near future...

Perfume - The Story of A murderer
Beautifully directed, this is a movie of a man who has an exceptional sense of smell to an extend that he can use it to track down his victims miles and miles away (even Lucky & Flo couldn't do it!). Born with this ability, his incredible olfactory ability soon overwhelm him and he became obsess to try to preserve the smell of certain ladies he encounters and make them into perfumes!
In the end, he succeeded in creating the ultimate 'legendary' perfume that can send a whole crowd into a trance and start a mass orgy in the city square (wow, that's the best part in the movie)! Warning: this movie contain excessive nude scene, children below 18 are not encourage to watch.
I'll give it an A- and did i mentioned there was lots of nude scene? :)
Jean-Baptiste has a leaning towards red curly hair girl :)
