Ms Duan

Xuan Zhang report back to his master and disappointing that he fail to capture the monster and not able to save the people. his master believe him and set him to next mission.....

This movie i believe is "A Chinese Odyssey" prequel movie. since this is spin off, the story feel abit weird weird, but still able to digest the story. u know that Stephen Chow movie, using alot of GCI, it it do make it really good :( but there are a lot nice fighting scene and jokes. still entertaining. alot of jokes bring from Shaolin Soccer, Kongfu Hustle.

Monkey King

Graphic: the graphic is awful, i believe this movie is made for 3D, thus bring to 2D is pretty bad. it is freaking blur and poor background. alot of poor GCI. really bad.

Audio: not bad, nothing impressive actually.

Conclusion: still entertaining movie, with lots of funny actors. from Kongfu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer. if u want to watch this movie, better watch in 3D. recommended for young to old.

Pretty Awesome Outfit

Review: Thanks Churp Churp giving out this tickets to me, it been a buzy week and months, watch this 2 weeks already, no time to update TnT.

ugly Witches

what i like this kind of movie, is like a steampunk theme, a bit like Van Hellsing, Underworld, movie, overall it is not bad movie, but the story seem very "unorganized", some part is unnecessary. it still an entertaining movie. imaging that witches with kongfu and hunters with guns.

Nice Radip CrossBow

Graphic: not bad. 3D should be quite impressive. it is also very bloody.
Audio: not bad.

hand Cannon

Review: my first movie for 2013, first of all would like to thanks ChurpChurp giving me this ticket. the new cinema TGV in 1U is quite impressive. very big seat and nice audio.

Time is running out, Owen and his small squad decide to stand up and capture this drug gang.

a pretty straight forward story but it is good movie, like how they make it a small traditional sheriff fight with a squad of M16 army. 2 pretty powerful cars, alot of big guns, alot of jokes. a good movie to watch.

Graphic: nothing special.... the blood effect feel fake.
Audio: impressive with the engine and gun sound.

Director: Ang Lee
Writer: David Magee, Yann Martel

NO!!!!!!!

Review: Thanks Nuffnang for giving me this tickets. actually i would like to win Wreak-it-Ralph. but then, i really happy that i won this movie, this movie is incredible. this is movie is very lengthy, more than 2 hours.

those are beautiful jellyfish~~~

Story: Pi Patel, a son of a zoo keeper and practicing 3 religion in the same time. soon his father decided to sell his zoo and animal and move to Canada with a cargo ship. soon the ship wreaked and Pi found himself on a lifeboat with a zebra, orangutan, hyena and tiger. together fighting for survival.

this movie is base on a novel written by Yann Martel, soon i will buy his book, hahaha. this story give me a weird feeling on this, see how you look at it, it can be a meaningful story or pointless movie. because by watching the movie it self, you cannot really understand what movie is try to tell. you need to get other information via novel or discussion.

ok Richard, i got my own place.

Graphic: this is the most incredible 3D i ever seen, it look really damn real, it was like looking real life thing through a box. most magnificent 3D in 2012. all the effect is great, the scene is nice, the animals are damn real.

Audio: the music is nice, the sound effect is great. stunning.

Richard Parker the tiger

Conclusion: totally recommended to all people, but young kid might not able to get what the meaning of this story.

ermmm, not a very horror movie, is more like a phyco movie. the story is quite unpredictable. the story is a quite a slow pace movie and every info is pop out at the last part. for the horror part, most is it is jumping around. not that tense.

Graphic: nothing complicated or special

Review: argh.... Thanks Nuffnang, can't believe i won it.... watch with Kimiko, Addelyne and Jacky. since i finish the most horrible game. i think that i might able to finish off this movie. but it turn out that i am wrong..

Review: almost miss this good movie, lucky Addelyne invite me to watch when deliver her chocolate to her (brought from Langkawi last few weeks).

feel the power!

Story: Douglas a factory workers, dream about being a spy and decided to visit Rekall Inc. found out that he is a international spy, somethings goes wrong and run away. now he is alone without knowing who he is, need to find back his identity. in the mean while......

i dunno i have seen 1990 total recall or not, purely this movie, the concept is great! the story setting, background, technology is awesome. some of the part of the story moving too fast, some dragging too slow. both of the girls are sexy too~~

Which side do you choose? This

Graphic: quite impressive, especially the colony town, combination of Bangkok and Hongkong.

Audio: time when must quite, it will quite. Time when action began, it will roar!

or this?

Conclusion: quite an impressive movie, easy to understand also, recommended to everyone especially sci-fi geeks.

i do wish i got 3 arms XD

Game Review - Dead Space 2

Name: Dead Space 2
Developer: Visceral Studio
Publisher: EA Games
Platform: X360, PC, PS3
Genre: Third-Person Action
Mode: Single

Review: after some struggling... as u know, i scare monster and ghost... especially zombie that can run! i actually not yet play Dead Space 1, since the game is hard to buy now. lucky that CaveBen got 1 but he haven finish the game for 1 years. so i just start this game without knowing anything from Dead Space 1.

Gameplay: Isaac Clarke the engineer from sequel, wakeup from a coma, found out that the space station known as Titan got a massive alien zombie break out. Isaac, now hunt by the government, unitologist and his own hallucination. fighting his way to stop the Marker.

this game can be rated the most horror game i ever played... the environment is disgusting, the zombie is ugly and disgusting, the ugly and disgusting match perfectly good in here. because i play with X360, so the aiming is abit off and barely survive in casual mode (most easy mode), i might try the 2nd round, but not now, currently play Dead Space 1 XD, basically every is quite straight forward... kill anything that move and solve the puzzle which is quite simple for me...

A/V: too Real, too Scary.. another thing good here is there is no HUD display, every info u need is on the suit and weapon.

Conclusion: if u seek for survival horror game, this is it.
