The movie is like a different version of Man In Black. Instead of alien, the special law enforcer would deal with corrupted soul which pretty much look like alien. I would not comment about the creativity but I do enjoy...

The story revolves around United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Pitt), who traverses the world in a race against time to stop a pandemic that is toppling armies and governments and threatening to decimate humanity itself. credit from www.gsc.com.my Like: Action and 3D CGI. Zombie Not Like: Most zombie chasing scene move too fast and normal human eye cannot catch up. There is no "bloody" and grose looking zombie killing people, why!!!... My Thought: The movie truly display all the good and bad of human nature. The scarify, the selfishness, the eragon, courage at etc etc. Brad Pitt do a great job portrait a good father/ family man image by willing to scarify anything for the safety of his family, he put his family on top of saving the world. The movie is like the combination of War of the World an...

Movie - Katy Perry: Part of Me

I know the name Katy Perry when I first listen to her song "Hot n Cold". Enjoy the song's very much and has been following up her music since then. My first impression of Katy Perry is, she is talented and with a unique personality...in other word, she is weird, in a good way. You know what I mean.. When she is performing her "California Dreams Tour" in 2011, she decided to video and document the journey and the result would be this documentary movie of Katy Perry: Part of Me. There is no drama or action in the movie, just pure information about Katy Perry. You will see a lot of interview clip and people talking about Katy Perry. If you are not a Katy Perry fans I am sure that you will get bored pretty fast. First part of the movie talk about how Katy Perry become who she is today. Her younger days, and her journey to become a pop start. A lot of song and promoting Katy Perry's tour. however, most people will get connected during the second of the movie ...

Movie - The Lady

The Lady is a movie inspired by the true story of Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese opposition politician and General Secretary of the National League for Democracy (NLD) in Burma, and the holder of numerous international reward,Rafto Prize, Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, Nobel Peace Prize and etc. She is more or less the Icon of the democracy world and the Human Right movement. Most of us may know the story happening at Burma through news and paper but you can not really feel the pain and sorrow of Aung San Suu Kyi during her day at promoting democratic at Burma. The pain and sadness of the death of her husband, the loneliness of her 15 years house arrest... The movie is very emotional and I believe it really do a great job promoting the Human Right and Democracy. People will see Burma and Aung San Suu Kyi from a different angle. Some people might find the movie boring and tend to fall asleep or leave halfway. However when you try to re...

Kung Fu Panda II Review

Just watched the show on last Friday. Enjoy the laugh and humor after a long day of stress and hard work. A lot of people might think the movie is stupid and childish and meant for kids only but I guess that is why adult will enjoy the movie as well. I believe most people would always like to go back to childhood and do some fun and stupid thing, just to get away from current boring and routine day. The movie definitely will give me a good laugh and forget about what happened and what is happening, during that 1 1/2 hours :D Hope you guys will share the same and enjoy the movie.
