Yes, for some odd reason, I like this movie too.

It is almost electric to see Christopher Reeve in screen!!

I thought I wrote a review here after watching it, and have to add I did not...

Here is an interesting question

Yup, I was meant to write that question earlier.

Hi,

Wasnt it given to Christopher Reeves[CR] character by the 'Older Jane Seymours' character in de beginning of the flick?
BTW - I m just commenting tat tis isnt really a time travel flick per se - I mean , its more kinda like all in CR imagination [granted, I cant explain why CR's name is in de 25 yr old hotel registry except there existed a same name character during tat time.. ]

Evrytin looks great in HD..
If u r a fan of remastered oldies - check tis ttl out



Its absolutely gorgeous in HD..

I suppose its all a movie. But if its all inside CR's imagination, why on earth would Elise's at her tender age of probably 80 went to approach him in present day.

Anyway the movie was not meant to be logical.

I just watched Mr & Mrs Player

Movie plot better than Naked Ambition 2

Overall 7.45/10

Thumbs Up for Chapman To and co .... simply amazing Comedy

Haha,

Agreed tat its only a mv n not meant to be rocket science.. Probably wan to let 'certain tings are left best unexplained' conclusion..
To me - on why I say its all in his psyche is how he purportedly went back in time - if you tink hard enuff, then u can.. I tot tat is all motivational talk.. n de kick in de end is tat, try as he might, he cant 'think' himself bck - until ----- knocks

Il Volo Takes Flight: Live From The Detroit Opera House 2012

Il Volo consist of three very young (17yo in 2012) & talented Italian chaps, Piero Barone Ognibene, Ignazio Boschetto & Gianluca Ginoble.

They are termed as cross-over artist, meaning they are doing traditional/operatic music but with a modern twist (Popera?).

They are indeed three very talented young men.

They sing, play musical instruments and write they own stuff (Gianluca Ginoble).

Vocally, Piero Barone Ognibene takes the cake. How does a scrawny 17yo Italian kid have such a power house voice?... I don't know!!!

Alot of Italian music most notable O Solo Mio & Funiculi 'funicula'.

The pièce de résistance for me is is the re-interpretation of Claude Debussy most beautiful music, Clair de Lune, into Notte Stellata (The Swan).

B e a u t i f u l . . .

If you are into cross-over stuff, you know what to do.

300: Rise of an Empire (2014)

I confess.

I have never went on the record to say that I like 300 (2006)...

The issue is the brutality. They made brutality into "art". They beautified the killing scenes and I do not agree with that.

So when they announced they were making "Part Deux"... I was not expecting much...

Just finished watching it and all I can say is, do people even remember The 300 Spartans (1962)?

That movie is 52yo and from a story point of view, still run rings around this movie!!?!

Style over substance ladies and gentlemen. Style over substance!!!

From casting (not sure if Sullivan Stapleton is the best choice for Themistocles), why is Eva Green's character Artemisia even here? And the fact that Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey) led the Spartan retaliation... My goodness, do they even know the source material (eg history)????!? (In Sparta, women are basically a baby factory, full stop...)

History about this matter is pretty straight forward, Athens (which had the best Navy force in Greece) and the rest of Greece met Persia at the sea, forcing the Persian army to try to enter Greece through Thermopylae (Hot Gates) where the Spartan met them.

So having said that, 300 (2006) historically is actually more accurate, whereas this movie...

This is based on the comic Xerxes and surprise surprise, you DON'T see alot of HIM!!!?!

Okay, credit where credit is due, the way the Greeks did sea battle, is actually by the book (eg according to history books), and have to add, apart from that...

I am sorry, I think this is a very poor attempt at a movie and have to add, I actually approached the movie with very low expectation, even then I truly and thoroughly disappointed!!

Devil (2010) Addendum.

Reviewed this in 2010 (My Original Review)

It is suppose to be the first part of a trilogy, nickname The Night Chronicles.

I still like this movie and wish that M. Night Shyamalan would stop dicking around and get the 2nd and 3rd The Night Chronicles done!!

Part two was supposed to be filmed in 2011, and the latest news is it is starting filming in 2013 (Reincarnation, written by him not directed, like Devil).

Now it seems he is working on Sundowning (2014)....

Frustrating thing is there is actually a website for the trilogy but nothing is updated to date (since 2010)....

Tease....

Rio 2 (2014) - BLURAY

Picture quality (10/10)
Audio quality (9/10)
Storyline (7/10)
Overall (8/10)

That Demon Within 魔警 (2014)

Wow. Pretty decent movie.

Script is actually solid.

Director Dante Lam does do good stuff.

A big budget (Hong Kong standard) psychological thriller.

I do disagree about how some parts were directed (I would have done the "reveal" differently)

I don't think that Daniel Wu have the acting chop as to handle the lead role...

Even with the two negatives I enjoyed the movie.

They even spend money of properly scoring the movie!!

Again, Hong Kong movies are showing potential again!!!

For that I am glad.

55 Days at Peking (1963)

A beautifully transferred and remastered movie from the 1963.

Unfortunately, it is a story about The Boxer Revolution from the P.O.V of the Westerners...

They (Westerners) are the victim of circumstances and their presence in China at the turn of the 20th Century was for the the peace of the world...

This has the same sentiment as the last British Governor in Hong Kong in 1997, while living Hong Kong, made a statement about the Opium Wars, asking to world not to blame the British for producing and supplying Opium, but blame the Chinese Merchants who were selling it...

PURE FANTASY!!!

Godzilla ~ Gojira (1954)

What all the fuss about this year's release of the latest and greatest Godzilla, I thought it would be a blast to to visit the original!!

I have to admit, apart from the Kurusawa stuff, Shogun and Kwaitan (1964), I really do not watch that much stuff from Japan.

The only actor I am familiar with is Takashi Shimura who plays Prof. Kyohei Yamane-hakase ((he played Kambei Shimada in Seven Samurai (1954)).

Only nine year after Japan was bombed by two nuclear bombs, Japan made this movie, obviously still fearful about nuclear fallout!!

They fear is epitomized by this mythological creature they call Gojira, who is irradiated and breathe nuclear breath!!

Look, remember this is 1954, LOW budget and special effects = man in a monster rubber suits and miniature buildings, boats and planes.

They even have an eccentric inventor who builds the "ultimate" weapon!!

I actually enjoy this much much more compared to this year's version!!

Airplane vs Volcano (2014)

A tiny movie company call The Asylum made this movie. It was shot in 5 days with a non existing budget.

You know what is shocking about this movie, Dean Cain and Robin Givens are in it!!

I suppose EVERYBODY has to eat...

Okay this movie is TERRIBLE. Directed by The Kondelik Brothers (James Kondelik & Jon Kondelik).

Why am I emphasizing this?

Remember New Line was a tiny movie company in the 80s!!

They have since made 3 LOTR movies and 3 Hobbit movies with box office receipts in the billions!!

What I do appreciate about this company is that the people in it, genuinely love making movies, and I think that is an important ingredient!!

Give them a few years. Who knows with a little bit of luck and the correct script, maybe they can make something great in the future. Now, looks like they make filler stuff for the SyFy channel...

noah 2014... not sure if it is called spiritual or supernatural or...?

as a movie, it is alright with reasonable special effects and good dts audio. russell crowe and emma watson performances not bad, with glimpses of anthony hopkins. 3/5.

Yeah i gave it 3/5 too.

The best about this movie it includes theory of evolution, God , Angel and Prophets. A complete package of understanding for both theist and atheist alike.

Recommend to watch.
