Self-Fortification

Guess what? I had watched a lot of movies these days! I am too free and too rich? Nah, only the former applies. I actually watched at home. Lets see my lists of summaries below:

88 Minutes


Hm... A very nice movie. It narrates a people of very special job called forensic phychiatrist who makes logical reformations of crime scenes. He was told to have 88 minutes to live by an anonymous call and thus he used his "remaining" life to save his life. A very intellectual stimulating detective like story. 4.5 stars. XD

City of Ember



The title itself sounds great. A city of fire? Nah. That is not the case. Apparently I heard this movie from radio and found it to be interesting. And after I watched it, still, interesting. A science fiction featuring two teenagers (and also a small little girl) who were lived in a city underground which relied on a generator which only lasted for 200 years to provide light. When the generator almost reached its lifespan, generator breakdown occured frequently and the people were feared. The two main characters managed to find a way to escape but were interrupted by a lot of incidents. So can they escape? Watch yourself! A lot of enjoyable silly events in the movie as well. 4 stars.

Dead or Alive


One word. Sexy. Two words? Absolutely sexy! Lol. A very traditional heroic storyline with girls combating all along. Many strong people in the world were invited to a competition named Dead or Alive. An evil man, who was also the organizer for the match, analyzed their battle moves and created a fighting prediction spectacles to be sold worldwide. Knowing this, the ladies were trying to stop their moves. Not recommended to boys and girls who have high moral values. 5 stars for horny boys. 4.5 stars for the rest. XD

Fast and Furious 4


The topic of the city. Cars, cars and cars. Vroom! 2 guys, a cop and a villain who wanted to take revenge of the dead of a girl due to the big cocaine villain. Cars were flying all the time in the movie. Apparently I felt a little bored as I don't like cars much other than F1. Haha. 5 stars for car freak. 3.5 stars for the others.

I am Legend




The title itself attracted me a lot. I watched it too late ain't I? Will Smith was the main character. The world was stormed with zombies who feared of light due to virus evolution. Will, one of the lucky survivors, who was also a biology professor, owned a lab to study on how to cure the virus. The whole movie was about how he coped with loneliness and how he sacrificed after he found the vaccine. A great movie for me. 5 stars for me. 4 stars for the rest.

Killshot


Quite a lame movie. No suspense. Anything was bad except the main character Mickey Rourke who was so cool. A killer who was supposed to kill a couple hunted down upon them with a lot of twists. Eventually he managed to get them but dead due to their shots. 3 stars.

Pokemon Rise of Darkrai



I got this when I borrowed somebody's hard disk to copy game files. A typical Pokemon movie that describes two legendary pokemon from other dimensions fought and led to destruction of the dimension where Ash existed. While the land was going to be perished, Darkrai was there trying to protect it. So could the world be saved? Grab the movie! Pikachu is just too cute! Haha. 4 stars.

Slumdog Millionaire



What can you critique about the best movie of the year? This movie is absolutely fantastic! A story about a pair of brothers who suffered in their melancholic young age. The younger brother was in love with a girl but for some reason the girl ended up as a chief gangster's wife. Eventually he managed to participate in Who Wants to be a Millionaire and got questions and questions correct all the time with luck. Can he got 20 million rupees and his love? The ending knows. 5 stars definitely!

The Poker Club



A murder story of four friends. A thief broke into the main character's house and got killed by one of his friends during their weekly poker game meeting. Strange things happened afterwards and two of his friends were down. Eventually he found out that all those unwanted happenings was due to his only surviving poker mates who wanted to kill him to get her wife. Will he survive? Hah, the same lines as some movies above. 3.5 stars.

Twilight


Based on the novel of same name, this title gets a lot of attention. It was the story of a girl who fell in love with a vampire. A lot of stories happened then. Romantic is the word. 4.5 stars (because of the female main cast LOL).

Yes Man



A very hilarious movie. A guy in the beginning who always said no to everything attended a "Yes" seminar and his life changed. Luck came whenever he said yes and his love came. But when his girlfriend knew that she said yes because of the silly seminar their relationship was at crisis. Can he save it? Watch Yes Man! 4.5 stars.

Basic Love



A chinese movie starring the red hot Elanne Kwong. Melancholic based but lame storyboard. That's why Hong Kong movie industry is shrinking right? A story of three besties where two of the girl love the other one at the same time. Well the only boy love Elanne. However, Elanne was heavily sick and was going to leave the world soon. Three of them were stuck in the painful triangle relations. Can they solve it? Find it out yourself. Maybe a good movie for YY who is a Elanne freak but not for me. 2.5 stars (honestly I think Janice Man, the other female main cast is prettier than Elanne =P ).

Shinjuku Incident



Hah. This one I watched it from cinema! A pretty sad chinese stowaway story. Jackie Chan who sneaked from China to Japan, due to some luck, became the ruler of one of the street there. However, due to his greedy followers who distribute drugs on the street, he faced a lot of problems and eventually dead. The hand chopping scenes were really nice! And the values were strong as well. A slightly better than average movie. 3.5 stars.

---------------------------------------------------------

Well, I know, I am going to move on to another stage of my life. A big change just like what the tarot said in my previous post. But I am still lack of something. Maturity. I am still a little bit chicken of taking responsibilities directly. I am still lack of the ability to express opinions and feelings directly. Still a little kid living in his own little world. I must change! I must grow! *roars* May the renaissance begins...
