Name: Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

Director: George Lucas
Writer: George Lucas

Casting: Liam Neeson, Ewan McGergor, Natalie Portman, Jake Lloyd

Hey! y the Jar Jar there?

Review: finally, the HD version released, i take the initiative to download it (sry Lucas) and watched it last Sunday together with Episode 2 and 3.

Podrace

Story: Old Republic, have been govern the galaxy for long time, Trade Federation, a greedy group, try to take over the outer rim start from Planet Naboo, hope Naboo's Queen will sign the treaty. Jedi Counsel, send 2 Jedi Knight Qui Gon Jinn and Obi One Kenobi to diplomat with Trade Federation but fail. both Jedi escape to Naboo and save the Queen Padme and her servant with a Gungan name Jar Jar Binks, with a broken StarShip. they force to land to Tatooine to resupply and repair the starship. meanwhile, Qui Gon Jinn discover a boy Anakin Skywalker with high midichlorian, he decided to bring him along with wining a Podrace race. before they leave Tatooine to Coruscant, a Sith Lord Darth Maul attack them. After they reach Coruscant, Queen Padme decided to went back to save their planet from Trade Federation control. both Jedi follow Padme try to defeat Trade Federation.

Cannot argue too much of this, it is Lucas story. i found Jar Jar is annoying, but it is not an issue, also, i saw Aurra Sing at the Podrace, dunno whats the purpose. the only issue i have is Padme look so mature and Anakin look so childish... but in the next episode... at the lightaber fighting scene, Qui Gon and Obi One vs Darth Maul is very interesting, not like older lightsaber fight which is very robotic.....

2 vs 1

Graphic since it is a HD, but it is not clear as current HD

Audio: nothing to complain. the same old classic Star Wars Theme.

future Darth Lord

Conclusion: if u are a fans of StarWars you mush watch it. these 3 prequel  movie is to look Darth Vader's childhood.

Will's Family

Review: Thanks for Churp Churp, Kimiko and Addelyne spare a ticket for me to watch this movie. i not really a thriller type fans. but what to do. 

Story: Will Atenton, a success editor just resign the job and finally able to meet his family that just relocate to New England. while he living happily with his family, he found out that his house is previously a murder scene. he go and investigate  and finally he found something that is unusual...

Who's there?

Graphic: the scene is pretty good, able to capture important things. the computer graphic is also nice, i bet the fire is also made from computer also.

Audio: very intense... the creepy music always haunted me.

Dream House on Fire

Conclusion: Horror fans may find very boring, because this is not a thriller movie. this is a Mind Freak movie, this movie will definitively work out ur mind. recommended to everyone.

Game Review - Brütal Legend

Developer: Double Fine
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Platform: (X360), PS3
Genre: Action Adventure, Real Time Strategy
Mode: Single Player, Multiplayer

Review: Thanks for CaveBen for borrow me this game since last year... finally with a bigger TV and HD display. so i will be review more games also :D

Chop Chop Chop!

Gameplay: Eddie, after an accident, the Ormagoden summon him back to the pass. the time of the Heavy Metal, he meet Lars and his team, "Headbangers". the world at that time is control by demon, "Tainted Coil". after Eddie arrive, he begin to help Lars build up his army and ready to resist and fight the Demon.

ermm, a not bad game la... but until middle middle abit quite sainz, but worth to play until the end. the game got abit like GTA where player can free run through the whole map. player need to find relics, forge, statue, etc, to become more stronger. player can also summon deuce (car) to drive whole map. player got 2 weapon which is axe for melee and guitar for range.

to release the snake statue, use guitar pyro. to release a glass globe statue, use earthquake

another game mode is war mode, where player need to built army to attack opponent and capture fans.

there are alot of sub quest and mission for you to do.

the only thing that i dun like is no jump map. example, u autosave at map3 forge, u drive to map1, then suddenly u accidently felt of the map. will will respond back to map3....... so freaking long trip.

Electrify!

A/V: the character is superb good, very live. the whole game is full of heavy metal music.

Ormagedon

Conclusion: a worth to play game, i finish the whole story in 30+ hour, (of coz got waste something doing stupid thing in game) keep this game away from children because this game alot of vulgar and violence.

Movie Review - Warrior (2011)

Director: Gavin O'Connor
Writer: Gavin O'Connor, Anthony Tambakis

Casting: Joel Edgerton, Tom Handy, Nick Nolte

Review: Thanks for Churp Churp giving me this ticket. then i saw the trailer, look quite nice. and i go to the IMDB, rating 8.3!! . it will be a good movie. but.....

brother vs brother

Story: Tommy, came from a broken family. he hate everyone especially his brother, Brendan and Father. when he back form Iraq war, he join the MMA Spatanz Tournament to seek for his own glory. his brother Brendan, a school teacher. he force to join this tournament because of his daughter medical fee. so they fight for survive and finally meet at the ring.

The story is good actually. but it is not my cup of tea. the plot is poor, over half of the movie spending on introduce character, talking, + without subtitle support.... which is very damn boring. 

Graphic: it is widescreen, but.... all the scene is over close up.... half of the screen is actor face, even their hair is out from the screen. when fighting, the scene is also darn close up, not able to see what happen, confusion, and faint~.

Audio: not that good, not that poor. average. only few background music.

1 hit KO

Conclusion: overall.... not my cup of tea... perhaps Malaysian.. because not many people here minat MMA (Mix Martial Arts), here is conquer by WWE... and this movie not suitable for mm, because this is guy type movie. ONLY recommended to guys, and MMA or UFC fans, and must seat at the last row!!

Hit me harder boys~

this story got some Stephan Chow's shadow but combine with Malaysia jokes and cultures. through the movie, there are some singing and dancing like Bollywood. this movie also many hidden agenda that Namewee wanted to tell the viewer about racist, poor government, foreigner worker and etc

Fisherman and Han Tu Ya

Graphic: it is using Canon Mark D5. so just enough to get on screen quality.
Audio: the backgound music of Chinese flute, i found it too loud and annoying.... i like the Curry song of the Indian 1.. overall good la.

Movie Review - Apollo 18 (2011)

Name: APOLLO 18
Director: Gonzalo López-Gallego
Writer: Brian Miller, Cory Goodman
Casting: Warren Christie (Ben), Lloyd Owen (Nate), Ryan Robbins (John)

Review: Thanks again for Nuffnang for giving the ticket to watch Apollo 18. after i won the ticket, then i watch the trailer... omg, look like horror movie...

Cosmonauts Nate and Ben in LM

Story: A documentation about Apollo 18 mission where NASA send 2 cosmonauts on a secret expedition to moon to install some communication device. when they reach there, something weird is happening, that is not listed in their job specification... The story start in a damn slow pace, if i not interested in space stuffs, i probably will be sleeping like Kimiko. the real stuff start when they discover a different foot print from them, and they discover something that they are not aspect. for me, the story is ok ok, the ending i bet they can make it better.

Rover destroyed

Graphic: panorama activity style, and not widescreen. the border they make it look like film footage. not a issue for me...

Audio: the audio play a big part here, those frequency, weird sound, help this movie alot.

Beware the Rocks

Conclusion: some people may find boring, some people may find it interesting. although it is just a movie, i treat it as discovery channel, coz there are so little footage for real live moon expedition documentary, so i recommended to people that like NASA and UFO stuffs.
