The Love Guru

Caught it @ STAR CINEPLEX, KUCHING
Its 1 HOUR & 28 MINUTES of SEXUAL HUMOUR!!
You should catch it because you WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT SEXUAL ACRONYMS.
You should not watch this movie if you WANT TO MAKE FUN OF JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.

If you plan to bring your kids for this movie, well, don't!! Seriously... unless you want your kids to grow up knowing what "BLOWME" means, literally. After all, it is rated as 18PL.

Yeah, I know, you'll be screaming "Its Mike Myers!!!", but I seriously doubt you'd enjoy this... unless of course your into these sort of jokes.

Not wanting to be so "closed minded", I felt that this movie over did it when it comes to sex jokes. I felt the movie was way worst than Kung Fu Panda, and I felt that I was disappointed. Nonetheless, if you are a huge anti-Justin Timberlake fan, you should catch this movie because I have never seen Justin Timberlake seem so gay, and you would enjoy making of fun of him for years to come.

My verdict? Urrghh.. skip this.... its just so lame.. and a waste of Jesicca Alba's acting skills.

Assembly

Caught it @ STAR CINEPLEX, KUCHING
Its 2 HOUR & 7 MINUTES of AN EMOTIONS!!
You should catch it because you LOVE WATCHING WAR MOVIES.
You should not watch this movie if you PUKE WHEN YOU SEE HUMANS BLOWN INTO SMITHEREENS.

The Assembly is quite decent considering it is "Made in China". The tale and plot gets confusing from the beginning, especially if you have not read the synopsis of the movie, but along the way... you get to know what's it all about.

As a matter of fact, the cinematography, and the effects could match any Hollywood movie, and even better. You could practically see bodies blown apart, and humans dying of war injuries. Fantastic for those whom love stuff blowing up.

One thing which really bugged me is the fact that the movie does not put in adequate sounds at certain scenes, which makes the movie somewhat missing something, or hollow at times. At moments like this, the typical "Asian" feel comes back, and you will be reminded that its not Hollywood your watching but a Chinese movie.

Other than that, this is a very decent movie, and you should watch it.

Babylon A.D.

Caught it @ STAR CINEPLEX, KUCHING
Its 1 HOUR & 30 MINUTES of BOREDOM!!
You should catch it because you WANT TO CATCH VIN DIESEL.
You should not watch this movie if you TREASURE YOUR MONEY.

I have to admit out of all the movies I have seen this year (English movies), this tops as the worst or boring one I have ever watched in the cinema. The plot was too simple, and too short to even call a story. The action was usual, and nothing close to what you would expect from a Vin Diesel movie. More disappointing is the fact that it is a star studded movie featuring Vin Diesel, with Datuk Michelle Yeoh shows not much action you'd expect from both of them, and despite the great acting by both... the plot and storyline of the movie weakens the whole show.

Positively, there are some awesome cinematography, and well.. the typical betrayal scenes, and shooting and blowing up scenes, but other than that... There is nothing worth to chout about. To tell you the truth, I almost fell asleep midway the movie due to its boring plot,and those whom watched also were heard to utter comments on how "normal" a.k.a "flat" the storyline was. Babylon A.D is surely not something you'd want to catch unless you are a die hard fan, screaming to see Vin Diesel's body. Even then,I'd still suggest that you skip this movie, big time.

Long Khong 2

Caught it @ STAR CINEPLEX, KUCHING
Its 1 HOUR & 24 MINUTES of fake blood!!
You should catch it because YOU WANT TO SEE BLOOD.
You should not watch this movie if EVEN IF YOU WANT TO WATCH WITCHCRAFT MOVIES.

I admit I have not seen Long Khong 1, but this sequel is nothing much to shout about. The plot is unattractive, and I found myself not even scared of anything. Its just too lame and too dull if compared to those better off Korean and Japanese, and even Indonesian thrillers. In fact, the plot was so predictable, I could sleep through the movie, if not of the small hope inside of me which thought that something different would happen, which eventually didn't. The only thing which stood up is the beauty of Panor.

Long Khong 2 actually plays about the Thai belief of the third eye, and how a teacher wants to get back for her being tortured in the past. It ends with lots and lots of fake blood, scary screams and not mentioning gore. Other than that, its a total waste of money, and you should think of skipping this, and watch some other movies available.

Death Race [2008]

Caught it @ STAR CINEPLEX, KUCHING
Its 1 HOUR & 45 MINUTES of brutality and fantastic car drifting!!
You should catch it because YOU'D ENJOY THE PLOT, AND YOU'LL BE AMAZED BY UNEXPECTED ACTION SCENES.
You should not watch this movie if YOU HAVE A WEAK HEART

Here is a movie which could beat all the other movies I've ever watched. Its got sex, its got speed, its got cars, its got dirt and practically everything you ever want in an action movie. Although the story is actually about the future, but the plot and action never fails to capture your interest, and that to me is a huge plus within this movie. Adding that up is the fact that the movie has sexy chicks as the navigator of the drivers, and also the use of ugly, but really powerful machines to race. Anyway, who'd think of racing cars with live ammunition would be so interesting? I wish the F1 was something like this. It would be really something.

I was actually hoping little from this movie as it is not star studded, but I walked out of the cinema feeling satisfied with the movie. The feeling that I was watching me myself playing the game Need For Speed creeps into me during the whole movie, as I could sense 'unbelievability' throughout the whole movie which was full of scenes I could only see in PC game trailers, and actions only found in games. I don't want to mention much, as I do not want to spoil it for you... but this is definitely a movie I'd recommend.

21

Caught it @ STAR CINEPLEX, KUCHING
Its 2 HOUR & 2 MINUTES of story telling.
You should catch it because YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO COUNT CARDS IN VEGAS.
You should not watch this movie if DON'T SEE THE POINT OF COUNTING CARDS.

The trailer of 21 was interesting. I admit I went to see this movie because the trailer made it interesting. Nonetheless, all those thoughts changed once I was in the hall, watching the movie. The plot is lame, and predictable. The story is slow, despite taking place mostly in 'happening' Vegas.

If you wonder what this movie is about, I'll give you some spoilers because I do feel that this movie is not really worth your money. Its generally about a 21 year old genius, wanting to go to Harvard Med, but having insufficient funds at disposal. He eventually go enticed to join a group of MIT students under one professor which count cards in Vegas during the weekend. Well, he got really into it, and got cocky, which led to him loosing $300000 in a single night. This made the professor angry, and hence he was the new leader of the group. However, being novice in leadership, he got caught counting cards, and eventually signed up with a security casino personnel which asked him to fish out the professor, which he actually did successfully.

The story ends with him getting in Harvard, and him getting back with his old friends which he lost along the process of being a the best in counting cards.

Ahh.. I told you the plot was boring and lame. Don't bother watching this movie, unless you want to spend 2 hours dozing out in the cinema.
