Vin Diesel is back in Babylon AD!

This week we get to watch Vin Diesel on the silver screen flexing his muscles to protect a girl in Babylon A.D. Yup, the movie is opening this week in cinemas.

This movie was directed by Mathieu Kassovitz and stars Vin Diesel as Hugo Cornelius Toorop, Melanie Thierry as Aurora and Malaysia very own Michelle Yeoh as Sister Rebecca. I really hope Michelle Yeoh will get more screen time in this movie. She's such a great actress.

Judging from the trailer and synopsis, looks like this movie will not only have great action sequences but also a good story. But apparently Mathieu Kassovitz had criticized the distributor, 20th Century Fox, for removing the movie from his control and altering it significantly. Uh oh, looks like there's trouble. I hope this movie will turn out well. You can read more about this movie in the Wikipedia page. Just click here.

I have here the trailer for Babylon AD. For those who watched The Dark Knight in the cinemas, you should have watched this trailer too. Sorry for the low quality. Enjoy!

See you in 2009, Harry.

I bet you guys know by now that Warner Bros. had pushed the release date of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from November 2008 to summer 2009. What a shocking news. Everyone had been so patient for this movie and now we have to wait a little bit longer.

I was kinda confused though on why WB made such a decision. We will have very strong movies coming out in summer 2009 and it's a tough competition. Let's see, we have X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Transformers 2, Terminator 4, The Fast and The Furious 4, Ice Age 3 and a lot more. Can Harry survive?

Maybe Harry was moved because they need more time to edit the film, not because of marketing strategy. What do you think???

Anyway, a delay is a delay. Nothing much to argue about there. I have here the trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Sorry for the low quality. Enjoy!

Wall E ~ review

Seriously, there's nothing much to say about this movie. Great visuals, great soundtrack, great story, great movie. I'm not going to give away the synopsis because it will just ruin the fun. You guys better watch this movie for yourself because in my opinion, it's really worth it. I'm not wasting my energy eagerly waiting to watch this movie since the beginning of summer movie frenzy. It was really WORTH IT!

It's about loneliness, friendship and loyalty. These robots look more human than the people I see in the news. The last few scenes nearly bring me to tears. Marvellous, fantastic, awesome flick. Great job PIXAR!!!

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor ~ review

I watched this movie with a mixed feelings. I was kinda dissapointed there are no more Egyptian mummies ( because I love Egyptian tales) but somehow I was glad they made a third movie out of this franchise because it was truly an amazing and fun adventure.

Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser), Evy Carnahan-O'Connell (Maria Bello) and their son, Alex O'Connell (Luke Ford) had been tricked to waken up the Emperor of China, Emperor Han (Jet Li), or better known as the Dragon Emperor who had been cursed by a beautiful sorceror, Zi Yuan (Michelle Yeoh) thousand of years ago (or was it hundreds?). To undo their mistakes, they must battle Han and his Terracota Army from taking over the world with the help from Zi Yuan and her daughter, Lin (who had gained immortal life from the water from Shangri-La), 3 cute but scary Yetis and an army of dead soldiers resurrected by Zi Yuan. Will they win against the powerful, shape-shifting and evil Emperor? This kind of movie is predictable so you know the answer.

Beautiful CGI and great acting from Brendan Fraser and Michelle Yeoh. Maria Bello brings a fresh look for the character Evy although sometimes her accent sound a little bit weird. Luke Ford is kinda annoying as Alex O'Connell and his romance with Lin (Isabella Leong) looked kinda fake (I can't complaint much about her though because her beauty just blinded me ;-P). Better work harder next time guys. Not much to say about Jet Li because most of the time he was replaced by CGI effects. What a disappointment because he's such a great actor. And John Hannah is really fun to watch as he brings comic relief to the movie as Jonathan Carnahan, Evy's brother.

As a conclusion, this movie is bigger but certaintly not better. I'd prefer the 2nd movie. But I'm not saying it's a bad movie. It's really fun to watch for adults and kids alike. Great adventure to release whatever stress who may have. I'm really looking forward for more sequels. For all the people behind this movie; director, casts, crews, etc...good job!!!
