Movie Preview: Iron Man Exclusive

Iron Man was always one of my favourite superheroes - because he was such a flawed screwball in the first place. Dashing, rich, intelligent, alcoholic and totally neurotic - his part is played perfectly by Robert Downey Jr, who also happens to be dashing, rich, intelligent, alcoholic and totally neurotic in real life.
Deborah from United […]


Movie Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End

Johnny Scissorhands woke up screaming one night in his bed.
“Holy shit, I just had the weirdest dream!!!”
Willy Wonka rolled over to his side of the bed and looked at him with love-filled but sleepy eyes. “And what did you dream about, love?”
***
Far far away in the woods of Middle-Earth, Legolas also woke up screaming. His […]


Movies I Wished They’d Make

A movie about a female serial rapist that goes around raping muscular attractive young men.

A movie about a female serial rapist that goes around raping women.

The male hero gets brutally raped and then learns kung-fu so he can take revenge on his rapists. As he kills the last villain, he realizes that he’s actually been […]


Movie Review: Spider-man 3

Spider-man 3 parallels and repeats the mistakes of Superman 3 - wouldn’t it be fun to watch a superhero battle an evil version of himself? This review is very very short because the new Spider-man movie is unremarkable - fun to watch but forgetable.
Oh and Mary Jane is still a slut.
Final verdict:
2 out of 5 […]


Sneak Preview Of Transformers The Movie

Yesterday, I attended the 20 minute long worldwideexclusivesneakpreviewofneverseenbeforefootage for Transformers the movie which will be arriving at the end of June 2007 (for trailers click here).
I went up to the reception counter and they asked me my name - to which I went ummmmmm. Luckily Deborah from UIP recognized me and said “He’s cowboy caleb […]

Movie Review: Shooter

I went for the media preview of the new movie “Shooter” starring Mark Wahlberg. It was rather predictable but with its rather satisfying ’shooting’, I’d say I walked away feeling like I didn’t waste 2 hours of my life.
Note of warning: Go watch this movie with your brudders. Wife and girlfriends would probably not enjoy […]


Movie Review: GhostRider

Dear Batman,
I’m writing to inform you that you are no longer my favourite superhero. My new favourite superhero is now Ghostrider aka Johnny Blaze. My reasons for this fickle change of heart are as follows:
Ghostrider’s girlfriend has much nicer tits than yours.
Ghostrider’s mighty morphing motorcycle is a lot cooler than your batmobile.
Ghostrider has much nicer […]


Movie Review: Running With Scissors

Running with Scissors covers the period of Burroughs’ disturbed adolescent and teenage years, starting at age twelve. Burroughs is sent to live with his mother’s psychiatrist, Dr. Finch, when his parents separate and his mother comes out as a lesbian. He lives in dirty conditions, where rules are practically non-existent and children of all ages […]


Movie Review: Pan’s Labyrinth

Here is the good news - finally a Spanish fantasy flick that can be enjoyed by the entire family. Train your young ‘uns and old crumblies to enjoy the wonders of subtitles.
A little girl lives in a horrible rural countryside that is being brutalized by the wickedest, macho’est chain-smoking mofo army officer alive - who […]


Movie Review: “The Holiday”

Last night, I attended the media preview of “THE HOLIDAY”. Yes, I’ve never heard of it as well. That’s why it’s a media preview.
Synopsis:
A hilarious comedy of life-swapping proportions, about two girls with disastrous love-lives who have reached the end of their respective tethers. Amanda Woods is an overstressed and overworked American trailer producer (Cameron […]


Casino Royale

Let’s be fair and say that I wasn’t expecting much out of the latest James Bond flick. The last several were gay crapola that bored the shite out of me. And the latest, Casino Royale had a new James Bond that looked more like the Russian Mafia type as opposed to the dark Scottish stereotype.
I […]


Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

Sacha Baron Cohen aka Ali G wants you to watch him make a fool out of people trying to be nice to a strange foreigner in USA. Although I do not think this movie will be screened in Singapore or Malaysia, you would be advised not to bother catching it on DVD. Not only is […]


Movie Review: Walk The Line

My father has always been interested in Hard Rock, Reggae and interestingly… country music. From what I understand, all them crazy cats growing up in the 70’s were all like that. So growing up, I was subject to a lot of bad country music which may explain my hatred for Kenny Rogers - the same […]


Review: Lady In The Water

I almost didn’t watch this movie. Firstly the reviews were dismal. Secondly my wife thought it was a horror movies and she didn’t want to watch it. But then my mom said there was no way in hell she was going to watch Pirates of the Carribean. And I recalled that I did enjoy ‘The […]

Movie Review: The Usual Suspects

Here’s a tale of self-loathing and deceit - I was at a party (or was it a pub?) with Terz and his film-making pal Nic. We were discussing movies and suddenly Terz mentions how awesome The Usual Suspects was, which in turn sets Nic rattling “Who is Keyser Soze?”. And I, the ignorant cheapo who […]


Movie Review: King Kong

I did not want to watch King Kong.
Believe me when I say this - the tickets were more expensive and it was a 3 hour long movie. I do not like aminals and King Kong is just another oversized monkey to me. But my 2.5 year old nephew and 5 year old niece begged and […]


Movie Review: The Lion, The Witch And That Dratted Wardrobe

Imagine this. You are sitting in a freezing cinema at 11.45pm on a Friday night with 2 kids in their pajamas. The event is the (finally) movie debut of The Chronicle’s Of Narnia. I was elated. The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe was a book that I had read and reread many many times […]


Eyes Wide Shut

It begins like this. A man discovers that certain liquids can be mixed together to produce pleasurable sensations to the tongue. The same man decides to purchase a variety of liquids in order to experiment further. This evening, that man who also happens to be Nipplelover my housemate from hell New York - has mixed […]


Movie Review: The Transporter 2

For example: Seeing the reflection of a bomb in a pool of liquid under his car, and knowing that the bad guys will not explode it while they’re standing right next to it, the hero races the car out of a garage and up an incline, spinning the car neatly through the air, so that […]


Movie Review: Tsui Hark’s 7 Swords

Alternative titles for this rotten excuse for a wuxia movie:

Tsui Hark Says F87k The Audience’s Intelligence
Charlie Young Looks Like An Old Hag Now
Leon Lai and his one thousand similar facial expressions
Seven Morons with zero character development wielding swords
Plot, what plot?
There goes your 8 bucks


Movie Reviews: Cinderella Man

It was a tough choice - “Land Of The Dead’, “Creep” or “Cinderella Man”. The guys in the group voted for “Land Of The Dead” (It’s got billions of zombies!) but we got outvoted by our girlfriends who though “Cinderella Man” was some fantasy movie about a man who transforms at midnight into something else. […]


Movie Reviews: Ghost World

Imagine you’re a jewish girl with big tits, bad fashion sense, can’t fit in with the popular crowd at school and worst of all, you’re the sharpest tool in the shed. That pretty much sums up Ghost World which by the way opens up with a 1960’s Bollywood musical dance jitterbug sequence.

This is Enid […]


Movie Review: Stealth

Give me back the 2 hours of my life wasted in the cinema watching this horrible remake of Johnny Five In The Sky And Will Kill Your Human Arse
Rated: 2/10 stars


Movie Review: Bewitched

My mom was like omg-they-remade-my-fav-sitcom-bewitched-lets-go-buy-the-vcd which was how we ended up one night after dinner at the local pirate’s store buying Nicole Kidman’s latest called Bewitched. To make a long story short, my mom and gf enjoyed it to pieces. And now when my gf wiggles her nose in bed, I go stir-crazy if you […]


Ways To Happy Up Oneself

After a particularly horrible horrible 14-hour day at work, I return home to find that the heater was broken which meant that I could not have a hot shower. This plunged me into a rotten mood. My personality was so vile, it meant that I would be hostile to any and all who came into […]


Movie Review: Koma

I’m sorry but this is going to be a really bad review. You see, I have a huge crush on Angelica Lee Sum Kit (the chick in the red dress). I spent most of the movie thinking how lovely her eyes are, how silky and curly her hair was and how fragile she looked.
Did not […]


Movie Review: The Bourne Supremacy

5 of out 5 stars!
Only thing I didnt like about this movie is that they used hand-held cameras. The audience is barfing now. But then again, Jason Bourne can kick Jack Bauer’s secret agent ass anyday, anytime. This movie is excellent. It is an action-packed thriller, but why listen to me - go watch it […]


Movie Review: I, Robot

Takhisis couldnt get free tickets for ‘House of the Flying Daggers’ so we got tickets for ‘I, Robot’ instead. After a quick meal of pizza and a taco, we hopped into the cinema.

To tell you the truth, I had very very low expectations with regards with this movie, which is an adaptation of a short […]


Movie Review: ‘Last Present’

Last night I watched a movie titled ‘Last Present’ that moved me to tears.
It’s about a couple, who can’t seem to love each other openly anymore following the death of their still-born child. The husband is an obscure comedian who can’t bring home the bacon. The wife hides a terminal illness from him because she […]


Movie Review: The Passion Of Christ

Today mom got a pirated dvd of Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of Christ”. So I hooked the PS2 to the telly and we all sat down to watch it.
So here is my review:
The entire movie is in aramaic and latin. No shit. 2 dead languages making their comeback in the same movie. Who will win?
I […]
