this is probably the best korean movie in a long time. admiral roaring currents is now the top grossing movie in korea for all time. based on a 1597 naval battle, stars veteran choi min-sik. a war tale of courage, leadership and inspiration.

i rank it at the same level as john woo's red cliff. 4/5.

Long time never watch JLO's movie

Me watching "Last Knight" only manage to watch 30mins, will continue later tonight.

Feel a bit like Chinese emperor movies.

Update:
It feel like 47 Ronin, but in the European style.

Yesterday watched Taken 3. I can say it an action pack movie but I really miss the moment which can make me sit tight and my heart pumping fast.

Seventh Son (2014)

Why oh why oh why-o....

Why are movies like this made?!!!

If they had USD 95,000,000 to throw down the drain, throw it my way!!!

Why is wrong with this movie??

Let me count the ways

1) Jeff Bridges is a pretty good actor. Why is he "channeling" Sean Connery here (accent). Terrible, just TERRIBLE!! After R.I.P. and now this?? Shame on you Jeff, SHAME ON YOU!!!

2) Julianne Moore (Dragon/Witch Queen)... Really??!? Seriously????

3) Kit Harington.... He did not even GET the chance to show his abs!!! ( Yes, ladies, I am saying this on your behalf)

4) Ben Barnes (Tom Ward) grew up as a farmer (pig feeder) but after been "procured" by Jeff Bridges (Master Gregory) he is able to easily read ancient text and scroll.... Which farmer in ancient time did THAT!!!!!

5) I know I am cheesy... But this movie TAKES the CAKE!! Talk about cheesy dialog...

And many MANY more...

Hollywood, in the future, if you have 95 million to pour down the drain, call me, okay??

My Two Sen.

With Marvel in the limelight now, DC's material are always overlook.

Which is a shame.

Yes, DC has dropped the ball, and have to add, they do have worthy material left to be explored.

Case in point,

Batman Vs Robin (2015)

Oh My Goodness.

Is this a heavy storyline!!

Yes, this is the continuation of The Son Of Batman (2014).

I would never had thought amputating kid appendages and fitting dangerous prosthetic on them would be so graphically shown...

Also the stoic humor between Batman/Bruce Wayne and Robin/Damien is actually amusing...

Say what you want about DC, when it comes to their animated stuff, they do push the envelope (eg they do not think only kids watch animation).

This movie explores the father/son further. Also the mantel of robin (Dick Greyson and Damien) has so many levels yet to be explored....

I love this I love this I love this!!!

My Two Sen

I watch it to kill time. A so so movie good for killing time.

A USD 95 Million dollar, lazy, rainy Sunday Afternoon movie... Okay...

Legendary Production Company sure is rich...

Perhaps another minister's kid production

Exodus...

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Please don't get me into trouble....

Please do

The Prestige. i give 8.5/10.

50 Shades of Grey. boring, boring & boring

The Counterfeiters (2007)

A German movie about a notorious forger during the 2nd world war era, happened to be a Jew and was sent to the Concentration Camp during the war.

He was designated to help producing fake currency notes for the Nazis, aimed to destabilise the enemy countries' economy. It was based on a real story, and its a rather captivating film to watch. As it turned out, this was the largest counterfeiting Operative in the history of mankind.

I like the grain of the movies, the pace is fast, and the somehow, the SS army personnel aura, brutality and their demeanor is very convincing. Jews being jew, the centre figure was also a great counterfeiter, who even managed to pass his fake note through the Bank of England !

A great Drama for me for sure. I would give it a 8/10.
