The Second Impact happened back in 2000. Human population have been largely reduced to just 1/2. In 5 more years, mystery entities will start appearing out of no where attacking us, these beings are named “Angels” and our only hopes are the Evangelion…

I just came back from the movie screening of EVANGELION 2.0: YOU CAN (NOT) ADVANCE at Cathay Cineplexex and i couldn’t get enough of Eva at the moment. Seriously, I’m not a hardcore fan of anime but i do follow a large numbers of comics/manga since Standard 3-4 and Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the many series i loved.

The first time i knew about the existence of this manga was like erm 12 years ago when i was just Standard 5. A friend actually brought 1 of the video tape to school borrowing to others and i finally got hold of it myself till i watched it only to find it too deep to digest.

Years later when i got my own desktop computer with internet access, i started searching for softcopies of Manga/Comic and stumbled upon this very title and downloaded every one of them. Loved it since then!

So back to this movie, as expected, they’ve rewrite most of the storyline and added more life into some of the characters which i love it. The main characters were still in it but their relationship and how they interact are slightly different.

With better graphics on the scenes with more details, i couldn’t help to freeze through out the movie so i could totally concentrate on what is happening and such and i was so into the movie that i felt so touched at certain parts of the movie.

There’s a new character with a new Eva but that wasn’t the main point in the story though. Rei is still my favorite character in the whole series then, perhaps of her extremely sad background story.

Watching this movie makes me want to go through the manga once again where i must say that it’s far more complicated than the movie itself.

The mystery light after the 2nd impact. The God that disappeared. Adam and Evangelion, the biotech Being that was build/born from Adam created by human hands. Angels. Nerv. Seele. The dead sea scrolls. The Dummy System. Shinji’s mother who disappeared/died. The sad story of Rei. Multiple cloning. The end of world. and many more unexplained stuffs with a much complicated storyline.

For such a manga title with an extremely deep and complicated plot and storyline, it’s amazing how it could still gain such amount of supports from people around the world more than 10 years after it was first introduced, there’s definitely something worth watching then.

Even if you have no idea what is it about from the start or this is your first time knowing about it, do go and watch this movie!!

As for me, can anyone go buy this phone above and give it to me? xD

Hahaha. So ya if you’re from KL, Malaysia, do catch the movie that will be out starting from tomorrow!! A must watch movie for all Eva Fans!! Thanks to Robb for the tickets.

My Rating for this movie is 8/10
*do you know that the manga of this specific story have not end yet? Zzz

The fact that this movie is Hong Kong made and have a rather no point storyline with lots of lame scenes including too many actors and actress which made me pretty confuse from time to time and its full of jokes that are very very lame quoting names/celebrities/characters which makes the whole movie looks like the eastern version of Scary Movie created by Hong Kong…

but i like it =D

Its Chinese New Year period and watching it really had me entertained. Loved the fact that the movie have too much stars that i don’t feel like finding the scenes online and posting it up one by one here, just the movie poster is sufficient enough!! *laughs*

At the end of the day i just felt like buying the anti-water handphone.

No NOT THE SCHOOLGIRL VERSION PLEASE!!

My Rating for this movie is 7/10

With a star studded cast, especially with a few of my personal favorite actors/actress in it, i couldn’t really resist such a movie and for your information, i came out from the cinema happily!! Love it to the max haha!!

I don’t know how and why, but with the movie telling the stories of a few different couples featuring the hot summer weather did its magic on me concentrating through out the movie. Good cast with good acting skills is an undeniable fact so what’s left is how the storyline goes and how each relationships happens on the way.

The movie was filmed in a way that though the various characters aren’t directly connect to each other, i somehow felt that they all went very well with different backgrounds where the different stories changes in between from time to time.

Then again, there were too many details to be shown in a movie and i think they did a great job in showing every one of it, the values in life be it in a family or between friends and couples and etc.

Somehow someway i loved all of the different stories in this movie and actually thought that it was good but well you might think otherwise. Apart from that, there were a few surprise friendly appearance by some other Hong Kong stars as well!

Angelababy is in the movie.

Vivian Hsu 徐若瑄 is in the movie

and lol ignore this picture above!!

well, personally i think this movie is very very nice lah so go watch it!! Cheers =)

and NO its not a porn film if you wonder about the picture of Vivian Hsu in the bath tub above and YES that was shown the movie LOL!

My Rating for this movie is 9/10
*would give a 10 out of 10 if weren’t because of the ending, i find it a bit stunning.

With 72 tenants fully sold out that time and having my friends disliking the “white ranger a.k.a JayChou” in the movie True Legend, a few of us decided to watch Little Big Soldier a few days ago at Tropicana City Mall.

and so we found ourselves watching a movie with a weird combination of Lee Hom and Jackie Chan the antivirus guy where what makes it weirder is the background of the story is set in the ancient war age period before China was even formed.

Through out the movie, it’s mostly about them both…

with a few scenes where Lee Hom displayed his “YENG-NESS” from time to time…

then back to them both together with each other…

and back to Lee Hom showing how awesome he was…

which was what i remembered most through out the movie. A storyline which is pretty dull and slow revolving around the 2 mentioned above talking about an extraordinary relationship, enemies but like friends in the times of war.

If not because of the rare scenes where there’s this girl who appear out of no where, i would have thought that this is Brokeback Mountain – ancient China version. I don’t even understand why is there this part where this girl came out.

Well okay, perhaps it’s not as dull as i’ve mentioned above…

There were other characters, conflicts here and there with the classic fight & play display by Jackie Chan on the humor side of him which added quite a lot of marks to the movie i thought.

Overall, i think that Lee Hom and other characters are pretty fine especially Jackie Chan with the funny scenes and all, just that the storyline is really a bit too dull and boring.

Maybe if you go and watch it then you’ll know what i meant, or you think otherwise then?

Last but not least, one of my favorite scene from the movie is shown in the picture above. Do lookout for it if you plan to watch this movie =D

Still watchable lah!

My Rating for this movie is 6/10

Watching Percy Jackson wasn’t one of my first choice and i have no idea why most cinemas have tons of screenings on this specific movie but not the movies for this Chinese New Year leaving me without choice watching it yesterday past midnight.

Greek Gods with the likes of Zues, Poseidon, Hades looks pretty interesting and well how the whole movie started had me laughing at the wisdom of Zues, the so called Almighty God which had his Bolt stolen.

The story goes on from there with Percy Jackson, the son of Poseidon being involved and he started a cross country adventure with 2 friends. Fighting against monsters seems like an easy job to do then.

The graphics were pretty nice but the storyline is really lame at certain parts which i thought that its totally unnecessary.

One of the worst part was when they were at Las Vegas. Quite crappy i think but hey i’m not a director so i’ll let you guys watch it and tell me then.

Quite a lot of characters in the movie reminds me of playing Dota and i was hoping to see other characters such as Hercules!! Overall, this movie is definitely watchable, especially the graphics, they were pretty awesome.

Now that i’ve watched this, i can’t wait for the Clash of the Titans!! =D

My Rating for this movie is 6.5/10

Its one of my favorite period of the year where Chinese New Year is around the corner and to me, this specific period is the time where lots of movie will be available on the big screen.

14 Blades was one of the movie i was looking forward to when i knew it is going to be out in Feb 2010 and just yesterday night, i went to 1 Utama to watch this very film with a few friends.

I guess lotsa Chinese out there would love to catch this movie specifically of this one individual 甄子丹 Donnie Yen who is the main leading actor as Qing Long 青龍 in this movie.

赵薇 Vicki Zhao who played a role which had this romance relationship with Qing Long 青龍 in the movie was one of the topic among netizens before the movie was out.

and so the story talks about the dark / sad lives of the Imperial Guards of China, a troop of fine martial arts guards that was introduced in the Ming Dynasty.

Living a life without past, they are an elite force of assassins that works and execute their mission in the dark with an informal license to kill almost anyone devoting their lives just to serve the one and only Emperor of China back then.

It was quite interesting when the movie first started and it slowly went pretty fast where i was a bit lost in between the storyline when the betrayal happened.

Then again, i won’t talk so much about the storyline where i suggest you to get to the cinema and watch it yourself. =D

What my friends find funny was how did 吴尊 Chun Wu of Fahrenheit 飞轮海 in Taiwan get a role in this movie itself. I personally have nothing against him but am happy that his role doesn’t require too much of expression then if you get what i mean.

Then again, one of the main purpose we watched this movie is because of 徐子珊 Kate Tsui where she had this role with the name 脫脫 Tuo Tuo. She acted as one of the bad ass villain whose excel in martial arts hunting after Qing Long 青龍 in the movie. Weird name though.

I do think that overall the movie is okay, there are a bit of effects with sophisticated weaponry and oh the fighting scenes were nice but i still think that IP MAN is still the best though. One thing here in this movie that i think could be much improve is the storyline, its though as there’s nothing significant in the whole movie that makes it special and unique from the others.

Well, it’s still worth watching in the cinemas this festive season!

Actors like 洪金宝 Sammo Hung, 午马 Ma Wu, 刘松仁 Damian Lau, 罗家英 Kar-Ying Law is in this movie as well. =)

but still, 徐子珊 Kate Tsui is the best!! xD

My Rating for this movie is 7/10
