Cold Prey 2 (2008)


Fritt vilt II (2008)

For those who missed part 1, it's ok. It's only a thriller without plot really. Overall 86mins of Norwegian thrilling experiece. Movie is predictable however with nice camera work. For those who watch part 1 will know what I meant by that.

Rating : 3/5
Genre : Thriller, Crime, Suspense
Actor : Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Marthe Snorresdotter Rovik, Kim Wifladt, Mats Eldøen

I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009)


I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009)

Typical teen and college comedy, but thanks to the crude & sexual content that made up 102mins of joke. Without all that, it would be a cheap and boring romance movie. Plotless yet hilarious, a bit too nerdy and too wild at the same time hence unrealistic for high schoool story.

Rating : 3/5
Genre : Teen, Coemdy, Romance
Actor : Hayden Panettiere, Paul Rust, Jack Carpenter, Lauren Storm, Shawn Roberts

Vengeance (2009)


Vengeance (2009)

Director Johnnie To brings us his latest work which will be compete for Cannes this year. It's not the about the plot, but about the choreography that make this a Cannes qualified movie. Not to be miss for Anthony movie-goer. Hitman action with touch of artiste. Now you can tell what is Vengeance rather than Revenge after viewing this.

Rating : 4/5
Genre : Crime, Action, Drama, Thriller,
Actor : Johnny Hallyday, Anthony Wong, Lam Ka-Tong, Felix Wong, Cheung Siu-Fai

Murderer (2009)


殺人犯 (2009)

Controversial plus original, I always give high rating on them. The crime are somehow terrifying and the make up is gruesome too (for HK production). I think 2-time Golden Horse Award winner - Aaron Kwok should do more of this genre than his previous movie "C++ Detective". Rookie director Roy Chow did great on this, also not forgetting mystery-writter master To Chi-long who also written for Jay Chou's Secret (2007).

Rating : 4/5

Fired Up (2009)



Fired Up (2009) - unrated version

Chick-flick for the boys. Typical high school movie about dude after girls in hilarious way. 90 mins of teen crude and sexual comedy, yet another American Pie to me. Well not for everyone but I'm sure most will enjoyed it somehow. Tag lines says "2 Guy 300 Girls... You do the math."

Rating : 3/5
Genre : Teen, Comedy, Chick-flick
Actor : Nicholas D'Agosto, Eric Christian Olsen, Sarah Roemer, Juliette Goglia, David Walton

Dance Flick (2009)


Dance Flick (2009)

I can't understand why US have such market for spoof movies, ever since after Scary Movie which I find is more than just insulting to the original film related, but it's also a waste of time. Even worse this time is by the Wayans which I think they could have do something much better like their previous hit ie. White Chick. Please, let this be the last spoof production. >__< ''

Rating : 2/5
Genre : Spoof, Comedy, Dumb, Musical

Turning Point (2009)


Laughing Gor 之变节 (2009)

Derived from TVB series "E.U 3", the character of "Laughing Gor" became too famous as such this movie is actually prequel to it. Fully HKTVB production so you might notice the film quality is somehow different than the normal HK movies -- actually have very strong TVB feel. I love how the characters inter-twined between self-belief, stand and faith. If you like "Infernal Affairs", bet you'll like this too. Don't worry you can still enjoy even without watching the original series. : )

Rating : 4/5
Genre : Action, Drama, Crime,
Actor : Michael Tse, Francis Ng, Anthony Wong, Eric Tsang, Fala Chen

UP (2009) - 3D


UP (2009) - 3D

Not to be missed for PIXAR lover, pls ensure you're not late to go in as the famous 5mins short-film before movie starts actually is very nice and creative. And make sure no toilet breaks throughout the 96 mins. -0.5 rating due to runtime is a little bit too short than usual PIXAR works. (Actually is 4.5 ratings for this PIXAR + DISNEY collaboration)

Rating : 4/5
Genre : Animation, Adventure, Comedy, Family, 3D
Actor : Ed Asner, Jordan Nagai, Christopher Plummer

Overheard (2009)


窃听风云 (2009)

Overall the 3-all timer from HK performed well, this storyline is rather new and unlike the typical cop-mafia HK movie. Daniel & Louis are getting better than ever. One should not miss if you like HK Infernal-affair similar storyline. One of the few rare quality HK movies recently. (special rating due to rare HK titles). Award winner Lau in in the movie, so you can give 50% trust already on the movie.

Rating : 4/5

District 9 (2009)


District 9 (2009)

Personally I don't really enjoy it not till the last 30mins of real action and some nice CG. Overall gore and bored. However due to it's originality, I gave it a 3 out of 5. By far the one and only Sci-fi alien fight with dramatic storyline. Can give it a go worth for discounted price ticket night.

Rating : 3/5
Genre : Sci-Fi, Mystery, Action, Drama, Thriller

Aliens In The Attic (2009)


Aliens in the Attic (2009)

Typical and pure entertaiment for kids adventurous sci-fi. Pretty much as what shown from the trailer, yet there are some suprises too. You may take your kids or little bro to cheer them up bur the 86mins show time is rather short and only worth for discounted price ticket.

Rating : 3/5
Genre : Comedy, Kids, Adventure

G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra (2009)


G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)

BEST movie in 2009 after Angels & Demons. Excellent, futuristic and adrenaline rushed. Not to miss for Hasbro movie-goer. Unlimited super-cool gadgets and fighting machines keep your breath hold for 118min. Can't hardly wait for the sequel which will face more pressure and higher expectation as this starter has achieved more than it should I think. Director Stephen Sommers ROCKS!!

Rating : 4½/5

Children Of Men (2006)


Children Of Men (2006)

Another human race crisis setting future 2027, nothing to hu-ha about for me. And why is it has to be either NewYork or London everytime for movie like this. What I enjoyed most was the details of the future England - torn and ruined. And the soundtrack was rather irrelevant.

Rating : 3/5
Genre : Sci-Fi, Thriller, Mystery
Actor : Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine,

The Proposal (2009)


The Proposal (2009)

Perfect match with Reynolds bring 108mins of hilarious adult comedy. Simply refreshing as it's been such a long time have not seen Bullock aka Buttocks in action, while Ryan is one that can be in many movies. Not forgetting to credit Annie in that movie who brings many laughter too. One should'nt miss if you like "There's something about Mary" and "Say it isn't so". Another great movie by Director Anne Fletcher who bring us "Step Up".

Rating : 4/5
Genre : Romance, Comedy, Drama
Actor : Ryan Reynolds, Sandra Bullock, Mary Steenburgen, Malin Akerman
