Cold Souls (2009)

Cold Souls (2009)

Controversial and not commercial movie for everyone. But I kind like the idea and creativity of the plot. Wish there were more storyline to enrich the film and to reduce the critics. A film that is low-budget but thoughtful.

Rating : 4/5

Genre : Sci-Fi, Drama

Actor : Paul Giamatti, Dina Korzun, David Strathairn, Emily Watson, Katheryn Winnick

Triangle (2009)

Triangle (2009)

Excellent UK production that is bona-fide and rare. First I thought this would be made by Hollywood. It is terrified & horrified both at the same time if you were the main actor in real life. A nice film that is not known to many. I recommend you give this a go.

Rating : 4/5

Genre : Mystery, Thriller

Actor : Melissa George, Michael Dorman, Liam Hemsworth, Rachael Carpani, Henry Nixon

Hot Summer Days (2010)

全城熱戀熱辣辣 (2010)

Chinese version of "He's just not that into you" perhaps.. but the first ROM-COM by the technique of interconnecting story arcs across a numerous relationship between two individual. I recommend you to give this a go and give support to Hollywood-style of HK production. Look out for hidden cameo by eclectic stars.

Rating : 4/5

Genre : Romance, Comedy

Actor : Jacky Cheung, Rene Liu, Nicholas Tse, Daniel Wu, Vivan Hsu, Barbie Hsu, & many Cameo

The First 7th Night (2009)

頭七 (2009)

New attempt by Herman Yau after the success of Laughing Gor. Not a typical chinese ghost story, this has a touch of "Infernal Affair". Low budget but efficient. Horror movie goer can give it a try on this straight-to-DVD production.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians : The Lightning Thief (2010)

Percy Jackson & the Olympians : The Lightning Thief (2010)

Yet another author who tries to copy JK Rowling success to Harry Porter? Though written by Rick Riordan this time, but still directed by the same guy who brought us Harry Porter. Let's hope Hollywood won't screw up this one like before.

Little Big Soldier (2010)

大兵小将 (2010)

Interesting duo between POP Lee Hom & Martial Jacky Chan. No specific history background though, but the fair storyline and plot suffice to complete a comedic action movie set out in China during battle between dynasties. A good go for Chinese New Year entertainment with family.

Universal Soldiers : Regeneration (2009)

Universal Soldiers : Regeneration (2009)

Franchise to the sequel of Univer-Sols (1992) almost after two decade, and I would say this is worth your time watching. Very good action movie, interesting story about what's behind these Univer-Sols. Age can never hide as you can tell on Van Damme's face.
