Movie - The Dark Knight

 Starring: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michael Caine
“Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?” Now if only the Joker played magnificiently by Heath Ledger had said that, I’m almost certain that everyone would not only be able to grasp instantaneously what he meant by it but that it would make [...]

Movie - Hell Boy II: The Golden Army

 Starring: Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones, Luke Goss
Spectacular Visual effects complimenting an out of this world imagination! Only minor problem is that the storyline was trailing behind.  I suppose anyone who could dream up such a vivid fantasy world might find it a little trying to put it down into words let alone in [...]

Movie - Hancock

 Starring: Will Smith, Jason Bateman, Charlize Theron, Eddie Marsan
This movie seems to leave me sitting on the fence for a while before falling off.  I liked it for the actors and it’s original storyline of a disgruntled man with Super hero abilities and amnesia.  However the plot gets weaker and weaker as the story builds up towards [...]

Movie - Never Back Down

 Starring: Sean Faris, Djimon Hounsou, Amber Heard, Cam Gigandet, Evan Peters
Okay so it’s not a great movie, but who can forgo watching a good old fashion brawl?  Not me…! I sort of miss the 80s ‘fight movies’ a little and this one certainly brought it back for me, though it is definitely an unlikely hybrid [...]

Movies - Wanted 2008

 Starring: James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie, Thomas Kretschmann, Common
This movie is as far fetched as it gets but the special effects and action is spectacular.  Comedic as James McAvoy’s role is in the beginning, he shows his true mettle when his character evolves later.  Angelina Jolie was amazing as ever!
The only gripe I have with this [...]

Movie - Get Smart 2008

 
 
 
 
 
 Starring: Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway, Dwayne Johnson, Alan Arkin, Terence Stamp
Now this comedy is one that I enjoyed! They don’t go all out just to try and be funny like the recent slapstick I watched and cringed.  It was enjoyable because it was heartfelt and simple and they were not condescending to the viewers. I [...]

Movie - You Don’t Mess With The Zohan

 Starring: Adam Sandler, John Turturro, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Nick Swardson, Lainie Kazan
Let’s see now….. if you like slapsticks, funny, zany, hilarious, offensive, politically incorrect, gagging, stoopid, sexist, movies all rolled up in one comedy then this is it!  Yes I laughed, but at the same time I cringed! Well it was an experience I tell ya….not [...]

Golden Oldies On A Virtual Jukebox

Strange……I thought I had blogged about this when I first got to know about it through my cousin Alex but it looks I hadn’t.  The link is absolutely fantastic and is free if you….like me enjoy the good ole oldies from way back in 1950 to 1984. 
You can choose any of the individual songs or just listen [...]

Movie - The Incredible Hulk 2008

 Starring: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, Tim Blake Nelson, Ty Burrell
No less stars in this one as compared to Ang Lee’s version, so how did it do?  Well first let me start by saying I grew with comic books including those with the Hulk.  I even followed the TV series starring Bill Bixby and Lou [...]

Movie - Kungfu Panda

 Starring: Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu
Caught this animated movie in Malaysia, they are little more family orientated there because they have children’s prices unlike Singapore.  Tickets for the four of us only came to Rm33.oo Woo hoo!
Okay first and foremost I didn’t know whose voices were used for the characters [...]

Movie - The Chronicles Of Narnia Prince Caspian

 Starring: Ben Barnes, Skandar Keynes, William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Georgie Henley
 A visually stunning sequel which the kids enjoyed but I on the other hand felt that it lacked depth and the rich flavour that C.S. Lewis is famous for.  Perhaps it is a result of too many cuts to shorten the movie length? Also the main battle scene [...]

Love You Till The End - Pogues

Love You Till The End
On Youtube
I just want to see you
When you’re all alone
I just want to catch you if I can
I just want to be there
When the morning light explodes
On your face it radiates
I can’t escape
I love you ’till the end
I just want to tell you nothing
You don’t want to hear
All I want is [...]
