Christmas and love... "Endless Love"

Dear *Freaders,

As Christmas Day is approaching closer with each passing day, I'm having a sudden craving for romantic films. Weird? No!! Christmas is a season of love, joy & sacrifices. So naturally, I feel like I am in a dreamy bubble filled with pounding hearts, breathing in shots of love ecstacy!

Well, I just watched a romantic show a few days back - Endless Love (2014). There was this ending liner that got stuck in my brain. Here it goes:

"My first love was everything all at once. The kind you never fall back from. Never try to. Never want to. A love so big, so strong, it never dies. Never fades. Never loses its electricity. The kind of love you fight for. The kind of boy you fight for."

Aww.. so sweet, eh? Anyway, I'm not going to be a plot spoiler! Please watch the movie if you haven't. It's worth spending 104 mins on the couch with your sweetheart.

If you love to read (like me!), you can search for Scott Spencer's novel of the same title. The 2014 movie was a second adaptation of his book. :)

Cheers~

Inspiring Quote from "The Spectacular Now"

Dear Freaders*,

I want to share this beautiful and inspiring quote from "The Spectacular Now" movie (2013). This film is based on the novel by Tim Tharp.

This quote really resonated with me (in a way..):

"Compared to other kids, I haven't had that many hardships. Not really. Well, shit's happened. Stuff's happened. Sure. But stuff always happens, right? But the real challenge of my life, the real hardship, is me. It's always been me. As long as I can remember I've never not been afraid. Afraid of failure, of letting people down, hurting people, getting hurt... I thought that if I keep my guard up, focused on other things, other people.. if I couldn't even feel it, then no harm would come to me. I screwed up. Not only did I shut out the pain, I shut out everything. The good and the bad. Until there was nothing. It's fine to just live in the now, but the best part about now, is there's another one tomorrow. And I'm gonna start making them count."

Hope you guys like it. Cheers.

The Green Hornet (2011)

Dear all, =)

I watched the Green Hornet two days ago. Generally quite a good movie. My primary purpose of watching the Green Hornet is because of Jay Chou. He acts as Kato, the Green Hornet's sidekick.

The Green Hornet first appeared as a radio program in the United States in 1936. Afterwhich, it has appeared on different media platforms like theatres, TV, comic books. More details can be found on Wikipedia.

My Movie Review:

In the movie, Seth Rogen acts as a playboy with no directions in life. After his father's death, he decided to do something meaningful when he met his father's ex-employee, Kato. Together, they tried to save the city from crimes. Their plan was to act as bad guys so that they can get close to bad guys and also avoid being recognised as good guys (to avoid any speculations).

To say the truth, I am rather confused by their plan. But I think it is quite a creative diversion from the usual superhero stories.

The movie focuses quite a bit on the relationship between The Green Hornet and his sidekick, Kato. All I can say is that it is a love-hate relationship. Kato rocks! Watch the movie and you will understand.

Generally, I love the movie. It has some romance, comedy and action. In terms of mystery, not so. All in all, I would give it 4.0/5.0. It would be good if there can be more fighting scenes between the bad guys and The Green Hornet (and Kato). More comedy would be nice too.

Applause to Jay Chou for trying so hard to pronounce his words clearly. It is not easy for someone who do not speak English on a daily basis.

Below is the Official Trailer I got from youtube:

Resident Evil: Afterlife movie review

Hi all, =)

I just watched Resident Evil 4 yesterday. The general plot of the movie was not bad.

But I feel that some parts of the movie were filmed in a different way compared to the previous Resident Evil stories. An example, the Matrix like animation of the fighting scene between the evil representative of the Umbrella Corporation and Alice. Please feel free to add your comments in the chatbox.

Throughout the entire movie, I was very agitated by the evilness of the Umbrella Corporation. You have to watch the movie and tell me if you feel the same!

An hour into the movie, I was pondering about how to save the world by killing all the zombies in the World. An idea popped in my head. I was thinking why won't the Umbrella Corporation invest in building Robots? I believe they have the resources to do so, instead of wasting resources on irrelevant actions like "enslaving" humans. Then again, there is the ethical debate of whether we should kill all the mindless zombies. After all, they were once humans. I wish I have an answer, but it's really up to discretion. Perhaps robots can be used for defending against the zombies to safeguard the only humans left in the world.

Well, enough said. On the whole, I give the movie 4/5. Watch the movie for yourself!

"Toy Story 3" Movie

Karate Kid movie

Hi all, =)

Today I just watched Karate Kid at PS (Plaza Singapura) GV Theatre. I have been waiting a LONG time for the movie to be out! I love Jackie Chan (popular martial arts star)'s movies alot! I think the movies that I have seen so far are awesome. When I watch a movie, I usually look out for the Storyline. Most Jackie Chan's movies, from my opinion, have a humourous, meaningful, touching (love - can be friendship, true love etc.) storyline with action-packed thrills!

Back to Karate Kid, the movie is simply great. I will not reveal the contents of the movie here since it is new (it was out on 10 June I think). I would rate it 4/5.

The kid-star actor in the movie is Jaden Smith, who is the son of Will Smith, a famous American actor, movie producer and rapper. Quoting news from Hollywood.com, Jackie Chan actually mentioned that after working with Jaden for the movie, he told Will Smith that he should not waste his son's talent, he is just so good! According to the news, Jackie Chan also revealed that Jaden Smith did all his own stunts (no special effects at all!)

Anyway, go watch it yourself to see if my rating is justifiable! =)
