Pirates 3 Rocks!

May 22, 2007 in Film Reviews

Just got back from attending a special screening of Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End at GSC Mid Valley.
Suffice to say, the film is a worthy sequel and is soooooooooooo much better than the dismal Spider-Man 3. I cannot tell you how much I just love the PoTC franchise, it’s as big as [...]

My Top Films of 2006

January 2, 2007 in Film Reviews, Lights, Cameras & ACTION!!!

My first few posts for the year 2007 will be recaps of what I consider were the top and worst films of the year, the top anime and who I think were the top local and international stars in the movie business. Ed: On second thoughts… creating lists like this one, though fun, is rather [...]

I Not Stupid Too…another brilliant work from Neo

March 29, 2006 in Film Reviews, Youth & Children's Issues

I had high hopes for I Not Stupid Too after watching the light hearted and funny trailer and also because I am a long standing Jack Neo fan who has watched almost all of his films. Neo has made a name for himself in Singapore as a no holds barred director who has a penchant [...]

“The Nanny you need…is NANNY MCPHEE!” - *SPOILERS*

March 5, 2006 in Film Reviews

A children's film Nanny McPhee may be, as it was after all, based on the classic (but little known in Malaysia) Nurse Matilda children's books by author Christianna Brand, but it is still a delightful watch to the young and old…judging by the guffaws and laughter from mostly the adults in the cinema that I was in.

December 28, 2005 in Film Reviews

Hey, I’m no film critic and I’m certainly no filmmaker but I have enough experience studying films in college to make me qualified in giving objective and constructive criticisms about films. I’m an avid film goer and nothing gives me more pleasure than to sit in a dark cinema all by myself and get lost [...]

The New Harry Potter Movie: Should I be glad or should I despair?

November 28, 2005 in Film Reviews

That was the question I asked myself as I watched the recently released Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I guess to answer the above question, I will have to put myself in the shoes of a manic fan of the book and that of a film critic who adores the film series.
As the [...]
