Sharing my Ideas, Views and Opinions !

If you read my movie review on The Last Airbender, I mentioned it is only Saturday and still have one more day before I call a week. I managed to watch this movie on Sunday itself and that complete my week with 3 cinema movies (Vampires Suck, The Last Airbender, The Expendables), 6 DVDs (The A-Team, Repo Man, Death at a Funeral, Nanny McPhee & The Big Bang, Flirting Scholar 2 and The Legend is Born – Ip Man) and 1 chinese series (Pu Song Ling – love story of man and wolf girl).

Familliar with Sylvester Stallone? If you are not familliar with him, probably you heard about RAMBO and ROCKY? If you still don’t know who he is, let me try to recall your memories. Ohh.. he also appeared in Demolition Man (1993), Judge Dredd (1995),Spy Kids 3D: Game Over (2003) and the most recent one is RAMBO (2008). I am speechless if you still don’t know who he is. 

If I keep blogging about movies .. I guess my readers will be so tired of it. So many nice movies nowadays. Many times when I watch movies, I always wanted to see all the famous actor/actress in the same movies. NOW, I found one … That is why I chose to blog this movie although I watched others too. It is called The Expandables.

Stallone is the director for this latest movie The Expendables. All the famous actors like Sylvester Stallone (RAMBO), Jason Statham (Transporter), Jet Li (Kiss of the Dragon), Dolph Lundgren (Universal Soldier), Randy Couture (famous wrestler), Steve Austin (The Longest Yard), Terry Crews (White Chicks), Mickey Rourke (Ironman 2) and Bruce Willis (Die Hard) were acting in this movie. Arnold Schwarzenegger (Terminator & Governor of California) did dropped by too !

Having all these hardcore action actors, what you can expect are a lot of blood, violent, big gun fights, fighting but one thing that I never expect is Humor. Have you see Jet Li jokes? He is making this movie more lively in the softer way. Everyone burst out of laughter with his ”Chinese” jokes.  

I didn’t expect a good storyline and I was spot on. The storyline is so so only but a lot of hardcore actions (I meant war, gun fights ) and many times you get to see blood splashing everywhere (they must spend a lot of money on blood) and of coz martial arts. Below are the cool scene that I like most about the movie. 

This movie is the type of movie that must watch in cinema because of the sound effects (Sound of GUN). I managed to dig the trailer to share with you. Enjoy !

Blogging about movies is always fun. As a movie lover, I enjoy pretty much spending most of my time watching movies. It can be at cinema, at home, friend’s house, mom’s house .. bla bla bla..

Recently, most of the movies show a level of qualities in terms of picture effects, sound systems and even 3D effects. Cool and impressive. Once in a while, some funny movies (humor movies) are worth watching. Good or bad? It is up to u? Good storylines? Nah.. I don’t think so, but considering they give you some laughter, funny moments, I will not complain much.

Recently, Jason Friedberg just directed Vampires Suck. Judging from his background and the movie title, it is another movie like Epic Movies, Disaster Movies and Meet the Spartan. If you miss all the three movies I mentioned earlier, I managed to dig some of the old posters from my archive folders.

All these movies have something in common, they are funny, dumb and more importantly, you need to watch hell lots of movies related to the movies scenes. If you prefer good storylines, good movies effects, serious and romantic movies, I suggest that you don’t waste your time here. All these movies have nothing close to all that.

Vampires Suck ?? First thing that come to my mind when I read this title is, vampires suck, I mean suck blood suck or the movie sucks. I guess this movie is a bit of both. The storyline is almost the same like the Twilight but I am seriously impress in the way how they connect/relate those interesting scene.

This movie really make me burst out of laughter many times. Quality of the jokes? I would say some are really good and nicely fit in but some are really silly. Put Tobasco sauce before biting human being? kinda creative in most of the jokes. Sometimes I wonder if the director continue to laugh and laugh when he directed the movie or he is already numb ?

Here is the nice scene that I like about this movies? Just a chihuahua? Well, you will find out more on why I like this scene so much when you watch the movie yourself. Bear in mind that although it is a very small dog, chihuahua actually thinks that they are very big. I have a chihuahua before and I know it well. (it can even barks at big dog, 5x bigger than their own size).

Here I include the trailer for your watching pleasure.

Write a post about a movie even without watching it FIRST? That is challenging but at the same time, I would say that will be a little bias. Why? All our information is based on synopsis and trailer perhaps .. but remember when I said, I don’t read synopsis, reviews or watch trailers before I watch the movie? A poster already enough to tell a thousand excitements

Well, Resident Evil : After Life has no exception too. Paul W.S. Anderson the writer/director/producer has spent ample of time cracking his head to thrill and impress his audiences. Why we want to waste his efforts? Looking at his track records by producing my favorites Death Race (2008) and DOA: Dead or Alive (2006) are already sufficient to prove his credibility.

If that is still not enough, perhaps you should check out Resident Evil, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Resident Evil: Extinction. Ohh.. don’t tell me that you haven’t watch them yet? You still have a few more weeks to catch up before the launching of Resident Evil : After Life on Sep 10.

To give a little bit more about the background, Resident Evil is based on a famous video game series. Alice (Milla Jovovich), the main actress is the only one successfully bond with T-Virus that increases her physical and mental capabilities. The others that are infected will turn into Undead (Zombie).

The Umbrella Corp, the only remaining organization on planet is intended to clone Alice’s DNA and the stories begins … (Of course I will not tell you all, you have to figure it out yourself … hehe)

Besides the special effects and the Undead, I am particularly like the ”Laser Hallway” in previous Resident Evil . Cool isn’t it? Looks harmless but it is a deadly weapon.

By knowing the background of writer/director/producer, actress and other series (although it is a bit lengthy … ) are parts of my plan, if I am Alice or Claire, to strategize perfect strategies to fight the Umbrella Corporation. Here are the strategies.

Strategy 1

Wear raincoat and stop using Umbrella – with that, Umbrella Corporation will be financially challenge. Slowly, the corporation will go bankrupt.

Strategy 2

Don’t watch Resident Evil at all. In this case, the producer will be losing his revenue and no more Resident Evil movies after this. Indirectly, Umbrella Corporation will be shutting off …

Strategy 3 (my Favorite !)

If I am Alice or Claire, I will just follow what the “Director Said”. e.g. If the Director Said use cotton candy to bring down the Umbrella Corporation, it will works. If the Director Said, sit there is the best way to fight Umbrella Corporation, then it is the best way !

Honestly speaking, I have been watching a lot of Zombie movies. All the Zombie movies have one thing in common. THERE ARE NO ENDING. The zombie will still be walking on the street afterall. Probably, that is the ending .. hehe 

By saying that, I also learn few tips along the way. For Guys, please be gentleman by asking if your girls friends really want to watch or else: 20% of the time will be screaming, 30% of the time will close their eyes and 50% of the time will be keep asking you, “WHAT JUST HAPPEN?”  

More importantly,  there will be a lot of action packed in latest 3D technology (James Cameroon’s AVATAR camera system technology) in this movie. Here is the trailers … Enjoy !

I am a big fan of movies. What movies? All sorts of movies, English, Chinese, Action, Adventure, Humor, Horror, Romantic, Fantasy and of course many more. I am slightly different from others in the sense that I can watch the same movies over and over again. My record on watching Steven Chow’s movies is 38-1/2 times (the last one, I dozes off after 50 min ) and still counting. Wasting time? I don’t think so. No life? Hell no. 

How many read synopsis, review or movies summary first before going to cinema? To me, nice posters will help me to decide what movie I want to watch. Weird huh? Simple concept is this, I prefer surprises rather than knowing the storyline before I even watch it. Besides, everyone has different taste and expectation. Movies reviewers might have different opinion than us.

Recently, I just watched The Sorcerer’s Apprentice by Walt Disney Pictures in Tanjung Golden Village (TGV) KLCC. The Director is Jon Turtletaub (Director of National Treasure). A cool adventure and nice action movie for 1 hr 54 min. A few actors and actress that might ring your bell, Nicolas Cage, Jay Baruchel, Monica Bellucci, Alfred Molina . 

I will not give synopsis or movie summary or even screenshot here. I bet you can just simply google it but try not to read it for the first time and watch this movie. The feelings of not knowing what is it about and what is the storyline is priceless. Try it. Like I said, everyone has different opinion and I am not a movie reviewers by the way. Personally, I like this movie very much. A lot of actions, high tech visuals, cool acts especially the ‘Hungarian Mirror Trick’ and much more.

Only RM 12 per ticket or RM 6 per ticket on Wednesday can spice up your life for two hours. If the movie is not your type, compliment yourself with a nice and sweet icecream. It helps ! And rule of thumb is, never watch it alone. Sad isn’t it if you are alone in cinema. Nice, terrible, good, bad movies, who do you want to share with if you are alone? Well, call me if you cannot find anyone to watch it with you.

A lot of nice movies coming up e.g Cats and Dogs, The Expendables, Resident Evil: Afterlife, The Other Guys and many more. I am sure they will keep you occupied. Lastly, try not to read synopsis or reviews and watch them straight away…
