juz watched The Death & Life Of Bobby Z. Totally underrated films.
Paul Walker & lawrence fishburne were great. It has action, comedy etc.
Overall a good action flick

Oh yeah I saw Orphan yesterday. The ending was spoiled to me by a friend some time ago, so I cant really say how good it is. But even with the knowledge of the final revelation, I found this to be a very well paced, suspenseful flick. I was a bit surprised by the gore actually. Most movies these days either go all-out gore, or shy away from it and opt for suspense-building and atmosphere. This has a nice balance between the two. And I can only imagine being impressed by the twist if I had not known it.

i'll take your word and check out this underrated flick. some critic quoted "Frankly, the action is so cartoonish and the flick so slickly shot, it's like an overproduced pop song. It just feels phony." i say eff em cause recently watched the shitty fast and furious and thought paul walker was badass in that and even manage to overshadow vin "u've lost it" diesel.

speaking of direct to video, watched FELON starring stephen dork, a dude who got send to prison because he shot an intruder in his own lawn and val kilmer (why is he in 9 out of 10 dtv?!!) as the mentor inside the joint. its a prison flick where warden is wicked as hell and prisoner helps one another without the need of some ass action. val kilmer is good, the one on one gladiator style fight is relistic very mma'ish, drama ok for a dtv. if you think this is tame and want solid prison drama and has time to spare, watch OZ.

Never in the history of celluloid has Paul Walker managed to upstage a co-star.

Ice Age 3 was decent. The animation was brilliant, liked the variety in the environments but must admit, it got a little stale. Much better than this.

Watched Hairy Potty and 1/2 blood prince

verdict: out of 5

Have to force me self to stay awake during the boring and agonizing 2 and 1/2 hours

too draggy, and too much nonsense, and not enough action and magic

kobeh, u talkin bout the the disney flick which has a bunch of huskies in the poster right. enrich ur movie experience by hunting down the 1983 movie , nankyoku monogatari aka antartica. awesome score by vangelis.

qf, true what u just wrote but don't blame you for shutting off during fNf. in case u have missed other p.walker experience, running scared and Lazarus Project, both pretty pretty good.

*Ahem*

An American Werewolf in London (1981)

Just to prove how "OLD" I'm, going to review another oldie but golden.

Got this on BD recently, and I have to say, it is an improvement over the Region 1 DVD I have. Picture quality MAJOR improvement, will leave that for later.

For the uninitiated, this is THE werewolf movie.

Rick Baker (makeup artist) wowed the movie industry with this one.

For people who loves Dragged Me To Hell (old skool) please take note. This is THE horror/comedy movie for me (IMO, please, no machine guns, they are so violent and messy!! )

Those who love more adult theme, there are somethings for you as well (not much, a little bit)

This movie is about 2 young American kids (guys) who are backpacking in the English country side, and had a chance encounter with a vicious furry creature. One was killed and the other was rescued (the Americans). The one who is rescued was sent to a London hospital, where he meets up with a "overly friendly" English nurse. As time progresses, full moon is around the corner...

Going back to the picture quality, having got the dvd version, the smudge on David's face (on the DVD) were CLEARLY claw marks on the BD (kudos, Mr Rick Baker). Grain haters take note, THERE is grain, but I think it adds to the feel of the movie

DTS Master Lossless 5.1 has good directional sounds (when the two American kids were in the English country side, at night, with the full moon), it was clear a "thing" was circling around them, hurdling them to where it wants them to be.

I remember it being a little controversial when it first came out (e.g. too adult, too funny, too horrifying??) and it along with Evil Dead 3 coin the phrase Horror comedy!

My two sens worth!

Never seen or heard of Lazarus, but I remember enjoying Running Scared. But not because of Paul Walker.

sweet i wanna get my hands on the hidef version. what's taking them so long? the wolf transformation still got it mfreak, what's your thought on paul walker?

Wah, fragglerock, you put me on table!!

Okay, let me put it this way. I enjoy Paul Walker's

Joyride
Into the Blue
Below Eight
Running Scared

He is also in duds like

Timeline (which is a shame, I LUV the book. Truth to be told, golden boy of the moment, Gerard Butler is also in it)

So, I'm more into the final product (the movie) rather then a particular actor although there are exceptions.

I will watch anything made by Alfred Hitchcock (Rebecca, Rear Windows, Nototrious) and Joss Wheldon (TV stuff Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse and movie Serenity)

So, I'm more concern about the finished product rather then the individual actors.....

Does this help?

cloudy with a chance of meatball..
OKOKLOR~

Just watched Little Mermaid last nite (2nd time, first time watched was as a kid that time dunno how to really appreciate movies yet)

Damn. Nice songs, nice storyline (90% faithful to the original folktale), and simple. Here's to hoping Princess & The Frog returns to those 'golden era' like they promised.

the kite runner....
abit late just found lasttnight under my bed...and watch it....
WOW it extremely nice....

watched Pandorum the last weekend, totally waste of $9.50, lousy acting, dialogues that make no sense, storyline that doesn't seem to connect and bad camera work

1/5 (1 for the hot chick)

trick r treat
My Webpage

alot of hype claiming this movie is so good
more like a comedy to me instead of horror

this movie is even more gorier than hostel

watched a nice animation on pps, forget the name, its about little girl who met her 'another' better parents through a small door in her own house, but later turns out to be a bad thing...

anyone know the title? coz pps are all written in chinese...

Public Enemis - Such a cold, emotionally-distant film. You dont get to see what makes Dillinger tick, you dont get how a girl can just fall in love with a bank robber out of the blue, you dont get why exactly Dillinger wants to keep robbing banks. Basically, the film shows you how Dillinger helps break his mates out of prison, rob a few banks, get caught, escapes, hides, tries to run away with his girl, and gets shot in the end. That's it, the film tells you almost nothing else. In the end I didnt care about any of the characters. That said, it is almost never boring (though never fully captures your attention too), and the acting is very good. Surprised to see Bale's performance. I thought his methods have grown stale, but I liked him in this.

Btw, the slow-mo gun shot and CGI blood in the end. How ridiculously out of place was that?

That's because it is a horror-comedy. I dunno, I get the feeling some malaysians cant seem to grasp the idea that horror and comedy can coexist. It's either horror or comedy to them, you cant mix the two or they get confused.

Coraline

Chaser (Korean movie) - (2008)
nice but I hate the ending

Orphan (2009)
nice movie to watch
