Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Alice in Wonderland (2010) Trailer

This 3D movie is made a different way as Avatar. It is only turned to 3D in post-production. I think that the 3D effect of this movie is not as stunning as Avatar.

The acting of Johnny Depp is not that flattering. He should have made the character more interesting. Yet the make-up is subperb. The costumes are carefully designed.

I think I'm going to make a movie called the Imaginarium of Dr. Bimnassaus, based on the Imaginarium of Dr. Panassaus and Alice in Wonderland.

Should be a great catch. Stay tuned.

The Princess and the Frog (2009)

The Princess and the Frog (2009) Trailer

When the Princess kissed the frog...no, she isn't a real princess at all. So, when the girl kissed the frog,...she turns to a frog herself!

What a surprising twist! But then the story starts to get boring. After the long jungle adventure, they fall in love with each other.

The prince frog gave up proposing to the girl frog for the sake of "her dream". She wants to open her own restaurant after turning back human. Wait! Can't he just propose right after they become human again? But the story seems like once kissing the rich girl, whose father is the "king of parade", (which makes her the "princess"), they have to get married!

Kids are scared of some of the scenes. They yelled. And there's a supporting character died. It's rare in fairy tale story. Usually they don't die.

The songs and lyrics are very good.

Sherlock Holmes (2009)

Sherlock Holmes (2009) Trailer

The traditional Sherlock Holmes is a gentleman; in this movie version of Sherlock Holmes, he is more like a street fighter. While Dr. Watson portrayed by Jude Law seems very thoughtful, and a bit cunning (don't know why).

I like the BGM a lot. It adds a lot of tension to the fighting scene. Recommend to listen to the soundtrack.

And the character Blackwood is made up by the movie-makers. It's good that in the end of the movie, Sherlock Holmes explained all the mysteries. And there are clues on the way of the story which shows Sherlock found the answer.

Looking forward to the sequel.

Avatar (2009)

Avatar (2009) Trailer

Knowing that the movie is filmed for IMAX version, we chose to watch it at IMAX. It's a eyes-widening experience of 3D and HD. The characters and the subtitles pop out.

At first, I thought the avatars look ugly, however, the more I watch, the more I accept them. Seems like they are cleverer and more environmental-friendly than humans.

There are huge discussion on the technology used by this movie and the message behind the plot. I thought that Navi shouldn't have got engaged in the war and killed humans. However, I was told that they're just fighting for their homeland. It was the humans who started the war. Is that justifiable to enter a war? I don't know.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009)

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009) Trailer

It's a mouth-watering 3D movie. We actually ate meatball spaghetti after we watched the movie. There are sushi rolls, pizza, hot dogs, corns, watermelons, hamburgers, ice-cream, jello, pie, meatball spaghetti tornado...

The character I like most is Flint's father. He is hilarious in a subtle way. He doesn't know how to use the computer, how to drag and drop files on the desktop. This scene contrasts with the scene where Flint's undergoing an emergency situation inside the machine's "belly". It's montage which I have just learnt.

I noticed that the audience are mainly family. Small children are scared by the scene inside the machine in the sky and the scene where Baby Brent being eaten by the headless chicken. But I know that this is a cartoon. Cartoon always have a happy ending.

It's a Wonderful Life (1946) and the Shop Around the Corner (1940)

It's a Wonderful Life (1946) Clip


These two movies are leaded by James Stewart. They're both black and white movies.

It's a Wonderful Life is about a man who had been stuck in life because he had to oversee his dad's organization. He wanted to go out and see the world. But he couldn't. He then faced a huge problem in life that he wanted to kill himself by jumping off the bridge. Luckily, an angel was sent to help him. As for how the story ends, you'd better watch it yourself!


The Shop Around the Corner (1940) Trailer


The Shop Around the Corner was reproduced in a modern version staring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan know as You've Got Mail. It's really an interesting story. In You've Got Mail, Meg Ryan's book shop is called the Shop Around the Corner, a tribute to the old movie.

Both movies are highly recommended.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) Trailer

A rather boring sequal. We are joking that if I were the werewolf, I would kill the girl for good. And if I were Edward the vampire, I would bite the girl for good too.
Such a cliche plot.

Lady Gaga - Summeryboy

I can't believe I'm listening to Lady GaGa! Ha ha! Is it a joke?
I like the melody of Summerboy and Poker Face. And I can't forget the spoof of Just Dance in Sunday Night Project! Bravo!

Robbie Williams - You Know Me

I love Robbie William's album Reality Killed the Video Star. I like the song You Know Me most. I like the rabbit outfit idea, it's like Alice in Wonderland. And the song Won't Do That is nice too.

I want to do Bim's MV too!

20th Century Boys 3

20th Century Boys Theme Song

This is the finale of the series 20th Century Boys. Don't forget to watch the additional footage after the ending song. It explained why the child has grown up and become Tomodachi (Japanese word for the "friend").

It's all about bullying and betrayal and a low self-esteem of a young child. Sounds ridiculous but I guess it's happening out there somewhere sometime.

To be frank, I am scared by the movie!
