Midnight in Paris
Watched Midnight in Paris today with my wife. Overall it’s entertaining and it’s almost becoming a Sci Fi movie. With less Woody Allen’s mumble jumble and the movie is much more enjoyable 8p
Seeing all the great artists of the past appearing on the big screen and speaking their mind out loud in hilarious script is just what makes the movie so great. I have much resonance from this quote between Gil & Ernest Hemingway.
Gil: I would like you to read my novel and get your opinion.
Ernest Hemingway: I hate it.
Gil: You haven’t even read it yet.
Ernest Hemingway: If it’s bad, I’ll hate it. If it’s good, then I’ll be envious and hate it even more. You don’t want the opinion of another writer.
It’s so funny at this professional angle. This point of view more or less speaks my mind completely 8D
Owen Wilson did a great job in bringing out the characters with all the actors & actresses.
This movie is just full of memorable quotes through the great artists, writers, painters, directors, all sort of true creative minds of “the golden time”. Should make this your must see movie of the year.
Worth 4 stars out of 5.
Watch the Midnight in Paris trailer on YouTube or head over to the official website if you haven’t heard of this movie yet.
Thor the movie
Great to be one of the first to watched Thor the movie today. The plot is old school fairy tale and there isn’t much surprise. The film is executed well so there’s no reason not to see it as a Marvel fan. It is packed with actions & beautiful scenes of Asgard.
The story starts with Jane Forster knocking down Thor in the middle of nowhere as he gets banished by Odin for Thor’s own stupid act.
Like other Marvel superhero movies, Stan Lee was on the big screen for a split second in the beginning. Just love to see da man for all his brilliant creations. Then the fairy tale continues on how the immortal learn to become a true king material on Earth. This is the rather obvious part.
For the Norse god’s custom in the film, as Jane Foster puts it “nice outfit”. And I love how Sif looks! See for yourselves 8)
There can never be enough actions for an action hero movie, don’t you think?! Would like to see more Thor in action battling whatever or whoever putting Asgard or Earth in danger, and more of Jane Forster on the big screen.
The destroyer looks like some monster from Ultraman though. A bit odd there.
Worth to watch Thor beating people & stuff nonetheless.
Don’t miss the clip at the very end after roller for the next movie hint. After you’ve watched the movie, tell me what the heck is that thing please! The stuff from Black Panther’s home country?
Thor’s one of the character I like in the Marvel universe. The reason is probably the fading fond memory of the mid-70’s Marvel cartoon series when I was tiny 8D
Can’t wait to see Thor in action again in The Avengers with others.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Kick-Ass the movie
Watched Kick-Ass the movie and it’s a good one. No wonder its rating is so high in IMDB and at top of box office in America.
Got a number of unexpected moments that gives a little surprise to audiences now and then through out the whole movie with great selection of songs.
Love Hit-Girl & Big Daddy. Not to mention I’m a big fan of Nicholas Cage 8))
Totally recommend to comical movie loving adults due to occasional crude violence scences.
Sci-Fi life-sized figurine
There’s a event at Cityplaza showing Loiuis Koo’s collection of life-sized figurine and toys from Starwars, Spider-man, Iron Man, Alien, Predator, and Lord of the Rings. It’s quite a collection. If you are a fan of any of these movies, you should check it out.
Here are some photos of the figurine.
The Incredible Hulk
Watched The Incredible Hulk tonight. It’s an entertaining movie. The story line is pretty much predictable and sticks closer to the comic origin than the previous movie.
But I prefer the look of the Hulk from the previous movie. I think it looks more like the comic version I like. The Hulk looks much gray than green, and the face is much more frightening.
The CG is nicely done too.
Having the beautiful version of Betty Ross tagging along is nice but she doesn’t do much in the movie. Too bad.
Once again Stan Lee is in the big screen. I think this is the longest screen time of Stan in all the Marvel movies. Nice 8)
I give 3.5 stars out of 5.
At the end, it hints the next movie. Sort of…
Iron Man – 4 stars out of 5
Just watched Iron Man last night and it’s well executed. Simple plot and the movie doesn’t try to tell you too much. Stays focus on the origin. All the CG is very good. Actors perform well. It has everything I expect from Iron Man. I love it. It’s a great Marvel to movie conversion. Well worth the money to go into the cinema and spend 2 hours to enjoy the movie.
FYI, don’t leave when the credits starts. There’s a special feature of a minute of so at the very end AFTER the credits. Here’ the hint. It’s a Marvel team related to Iron Man of course, and its name starts with “A”. The character introduce the “project” to Tony Stark is the leader from a government agency. If you’ve ever read any Marvel comics, you should have known which team I’m talking about.
Iron Man shows on 30 April, 2008
FYI, Iron Man will be showing in Hong Kong on 30 April, 2008. I’m looking forward to seeing this movie. To find out the release date for your location, check here.
