Tragic & Magic.

Lately, after I watched "The Dark Knight" thrice in the cinema ( yes, & i'm still feeling the possibilty of the fourth time ), there's hardly a movie that made we wonder.

Was the long awaited Batman sequel too good?! Yes, definitely. Or should I say it's just hard to get a show which touched us in ways we never thought it'll be.

Just like I get sober with each & every tragic character in the thrilling masterpiece. Never really expecting it coming this way.


Or get uplifted by "Mamma Mia!".

Yes, a movie can somehow bring a magic smile onto our face, makes us realize the day wasn't that bad after all.

Is this Abba songs covered movie that good? Yes, guaranteed.

If "The Dark Knight" troubled me with the riddles between good & bad, then this musical material simply firming my believes. I'm gonna watch both of them again. No matter what.

PS: I might go get the movie soundtrack & Darn!! Was "Hairspray" as good?!

Spoiler Alert!!

I've questioned myself countless times why Eric Bana no longer portraits The Hulk in the "sequel" of the movie. Was he not good enough?! I've got no idea as I missed 'The Incredible Hulk' years ago. Thing is, I love Bana in 'Troy' & the not-sure when 'The Other Boleyn Girl'.

Alrite. So Bruce Banner aka Hulk replaced by a don't know who, which made me wonder even more before heading onto the big screen. For most superheroes flicks flopped regardless how amazed the trailer is.

But damn! This is a NOT-TO-BE-MISSED!!!

Imagine i repeatedly telling my Sinis movie mate‘好看到...’during the show. I didn't expect The Hulk coming this HUGE, though the flawless graphic & storyline helps a lot.

Sorry LeeAnn, I just don't think you would be able to direct this hyper fighting movie.

The BEST part is in the near end. When I saw him walked thru the door, I was like "My gosh! Couldn't be!!" & became extremely overwhelmed. Thus he left the crowd ( or me perhaps? ) an shocking excitement which shall only be revealed in the next installment.

I CAN'T WAIT!! TOTALLY!!

I'm impressed. They seemed to be more serious in making superheroes movies nowadays. Forget X-MEN, Fantastic 4, welcomed Ironman & Hulk & soon...The Dark Knight's finally here. Wo-hoo!!

PS: I surfed Wikipedia regarding the villain Abomination. I did get the info, & maybe some hints to the next installment. If Tony Stark is involved, then expect: The RED Hulk!

Yes. I enjoyed GO! MAY 9th.

Shattering bright colours. My 1st impression.

Mr.Musha 真田广之! I'm a fan of him since The Promise 无极. But I never thought that his part would be that few...

Christina Ricci. Damn pretty.

Good storyline. Like the encouragement & uplifting conservations.

Racer X & Rex Racer. Yupe, HUNK. But sorry I'm just not fond of RAIN...even after watching the movie.

2 hours++ of fun. Thought it would be much shorter.

Surprises. Which made me wonder.

Chimp Chimp & the don't know what name now kiddo. So cute.

All rite. I think that's all that makes me so overwhelmed after Speed Racer. Perhaps there's really nothing much left here.

Since I was "introduced" to the trailer, I've been waiting long for this movie. Even though I've got no idea at all 'bout the original cartoon series during my childhood, Speed Racer still managed to impressed.



Gosh!! I'm gonna watch it times again over the BIG screen. At least 1 more round to be precise.

Like my movie mate said: Maybe I should get the DVD as collections. Or I shall collect all the posters if possible...

Thumbs up!!

我说：这个世界没有黑白。

一个男人带着一把手枪，到森林里去猎熊。他以为，熊，不过分为白熊黑熊两种。没想到，他最后被一头灰熊吃了。

上面一句话，是电影《第一诫》接近尾声的尾声。

第一回听到这部片子，是读了友人的blog得知的。附着的宣传照很骇人，可想而知，是一部恐怖片。贴切一点，鬼片。

一个人看了。像朋友说的，《第一诫》吓人场面不少，故事结局也有点牵强，可圈可点。

可它要表达之意，某种程度让我心寒。

不知是否睡眠不足之故，仰或被电影的暗黑面所致；回家的路上，有股沉重的压抑感焖着，那一席话在脑海里一直挥之不去。

如果人性人心，简单只有黑白之别，悲剧会少很多。可怖的事，我们往往摸不透，搞不懂原来灰色才是最真实的人性面。

坚持自己的想法当儿，还得抗拒不被歹念侵袭失衡。

那些黑白分明之日，原来只存在于一边纯洁的心灵里头。某天，会发现自己，已沉溺于一片灰洋里，忘却了分辨的能力。

也可能，是自己放弃了辨别的理由。

她说：如果看的是广东版，会给它多加半颗星，两颗半。我觉得太少，《第一诫》，我给它三星半。

Watch IT At Your Own Risk!!

Doubted several times before heading for "Cloverfield". Wondering the possibility of a sci-fi movie without revealing the actual look of the monster. It reminds me of "Blair Witch Project", though I've never seen that 1 but the expectation is there when it comes to some self shooting documentary type movie.

But then I went 4 it. Hoping it would turn out interesting. Or at least not a waste of time.

But hey. The movie wasn't that bad. There's even some remarkable scenes in it. Says the destruction of Statue Of Liberty as seen in the trailer. &...something far more marvellous than that. Serious.

The thing is: It made me dizzy. When the characters running like hell, the screen shakes roughly like hell too. My goodness!!

I started feeling a stir in my stomach halfway in the cinema. Tried to massage my forehead & my eyes to concentrate. But then the catchy storyline will avoids me from doing so. I gotta kept my eyes wide open...while enjoying the feel of a tiring ferry ride.

Luckily my movie mate had the same dizziness after the movie. Proven I wasn't the only weak 1 there. & I'm sure puked my dinner out if the movie's continues.

After all, it's still worthy. But be well prepared if any one's going for it. A paper bag or minyak cap kapak would be VERY helpful.

很喜欢《投名状》。

约了两条水，赶看第一场的《投名状》。他们可以连看什么电影都不知道，便和我步进电影院。那是第一场，却很意外的是小影院，那也难怪，没有几个人会无聊到牺牲睡觉时间星期三看半夜场的。

酱小间的? 要下画了的是啊? 他们可以很白痴地问，显然不太明白我的作风。

记得有一回，姐姐笑对妈说:看你儿子几有钱? 看戏都选第一场。

钱，我没有，真的没有。有的，也许只是对很多事物的热诚。一些电影，的确得看第一场的，不是吗?

出门前，housemate问我：The Golden Compass看了没有? 《投名状》开始没多久，朋友sms来说Enchanted一定要看。

给他们，一样的答案。慢了，让它们慢。我看最快的。

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

对于陈可辛大导的作品，除了让我爱不释手得可以的《如果.爱》，基本上没什么认知。

一直都很喜欢探讨人心人性的电影，所以《投名状》也不在话下。自己知道说：我不是要看他们打斗场面有多华丽，主角有多帅。

人无信便是畜生。多么的简单，却又那么的复杂。信任，信念，究竟真的值多少钱? 坚信不移，又是否都是一厢情愿?

兵不厌诈，这是战争。身不由己，我们这么告诉自己。其实，也好像是对我们的选择，荒唐挂上的一个籍口理由而已。

细细的看，我们其实有着共同的目标，却因为信念的不同，手法的不一样，而意见分驰，而不能和平共处。理想，也越分越遥不可及。

戏里戏外，又有什么不一样?

戏如人生，人生如戏。我们也许忘了，如何引以为鉴，不一昧含糊带过。

顺道：看这种电影时，会不能顶那种在旁边嬉笑，然后要庆祝散场的品种。我没有很清高，可我懂得欣赏。

Have We Missed The Message?

Was back at home in M’ca. Playing with the Astro remote, searching 4 channel that might provide any interests.

& I found this on HBO. King Kong. The blockbuster in 2005. It’s just surprising realized 2 years had passed since then.

With the splendid choreography & a smooth 3 hours of excitement, the movie is simply brilliant, isn’t it? But the ending, it’s definitely a sad song.

If we were all alone in a unfamiliar envi & were categorized as alienated monster, what would we do? & it’s just make sense enough that they’re gonna hunt us down to death instinctively.

“It’s was not aero plane. its beauty killed the beast”

But it’s obvious enough; its our unlimited desires arose from greed & selfishness that creates the tragedy.

We never learnt to understand, never taught to be considerate. Or is it we never try?! Even just a little bit?

I just wonder, the nearly extinction of many creature on Earth, we’re always the 1 & only to blame...

不是一般的爱情。

很久很久，已没有再看恐怖鬼片了。以前，每每有那类电影上映，我都会抢着去看的。

是被一系列粗制滥造的电影闷坏了?! 有一点。

其实，真正的原因，是不知何时开始，会对片里头的一些细节，一些场景，无法释怀。

和友人去看了《幽灵奇谈 The Last Breath》，回到家里，却好像无法入眠。暗黑的房里，微弱的月光，还有便是鬼祟的心理。以至于，起身前往CC些blog。

不用手遮眼，尽量有不被吓出声的准备，我可是看得屏息的。屏息地观看每一个镜头。

美丽，诡异。它是自好多年以前的《姐魅情深 A Tale Of Two Sisters》后，另一部高级的恐怖影片。某某杂志写道，它的制作严谨，是真的。

三段不同的爱情故事，都被恐怖的恶梦缠上。结局，只能是凄凉的。

如果爱也能致命，也许；浅一点会比较好。

Gonna Watch This No Matter What.

It's nearly the end of year 2007. Perhaps the cinemas gonna get stomped with lots of blockbuster again.

The Golden Compass. Alvin & The Chipmunks. Warlords etc...

"You can catch a number of movies when you do. & none at all when you're not in the mood" My fren told me so last nite.

Hmm. It's true though. I can get 3 to 4 movies in a week sometimes. & the most important thing is I've got no problem to walk into cinemas alone.

Sometimes we are so fond of a title. Because of the stories, because of the genre, or simply because of the faces we like. Then?! Our dearest movie mates would start bubbling on the phone, giving a mouthful of nonsense that made you go: Sudahlah!

Even it's a FREE tickets, people still think much very often whether to spend their precious time...If the movie isn't their cup of tea.

Found this title days ago. Featuring some of my favourite faces like feisty Scarlett, sophisticated Natalie & hunkish Eric Bana.

The story will be some sort of cat fights between 2 sister to owned the King's heart. Very interesting seemingly. Kinda like "The Prestige". For I've always fond of topics regarding dark sides of humanity.

Anyway, this movie only hitting theaters in May 2008. Still a long long way to go, & much much more worth watching before the launch of - THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL.



PS: If only Keira & Hugh are on it, this movie gonna be more MASSIVE.

"順便"說說秘密。

之前因爲友人不斷提到的關係，一二三，大家都好像給于《不能說的秘密》蠻好的評價。所以，趕在電影還沒下畫前，進電影院求證。

片的開頭，帶有偵探片的感覺。然後前半段不停的：這是一個不能說的秘密，這是一個不能說的秘密，讓我覺得，這麽"簡單愛"的劇情，會有什麽樣的結尾？孰不知，來個時空交錯，雖然有點冒汗，也算是交待的很好了。

周董的音樂造詣，早已不用懷疑。他選了音樂作爲電影的題材，實是明確之擧。一些鏡頭，像是斗琴的一段，都處理得很好。故事劇本，也照顧得很全面，看得出他是講究的。

至於桂錀嵄，則沒有太大的驚喜。不過不失，這麽說會否被人扁？還有，她的名字我寫對了嗎？

電影的開頭結爲，以致音樂掌鏡，是蠻值得讚賞的。但他始終是貪心了些。儘管沒有《黃金甲》的周潤發鞏俐劉燁作比較，他的演技始終有待進步，大進步，吧！交由他人來演，會不會好點？

不錯的電影，只能這麽說。

《色戒》

期待了這部片子好一段時間。終于，趕在第一天上映，買了很好的票入場。

有點搞不清楚自己爲何那麽期待《色戒》。捧李安大導演的場？雖然他的《臥虎藏龍》我很喜歡，可《綠巨人》還有紅得不行的《斷背山》，我卻還沒看。自己對於一個導演究竟有多重要，還有點問號。

想看梁朝偉露臀露蛋？還有片子裏連場的情欲戯？的確，任誰都想一探究竟吧？

新人湯唯，王力宏？他們對我可沒有那麽大的吸引力。

也許，這些日子以來，開始迷上了具有濃厚時代色彩的電影。細數《臥虎藏龍》，《如果.愛》，《天下無賊》，《夜宴》等；都令我看得目不暇給。很喜歡它們的細膩，儘管不可能完美。我想，這該是《色戒》吸引我儘早入場的地方。

我可是很投入的看，旁邊我的兩位大專生友人也知道。

被剪掉十分鈡激情床戯后，雖然沒有讓人看得一頭霧水，可還是大大影響了它的可觀性。看不着了它的要點，就是易先生和王佳芝的感情變化。那種獵與被獵，卻密不可分的複雜，在我們看不到的十分鈡，該數是最赤裸裸的了。

明知是個險，卻還是敵不了色慾的吞啃，而慢慢淪陷。心甘情願地，希望自己相信的，不會是最壞的可能。只要空著的一塊可以填滿，你我他，都會不顧一切地着迷。

人性，就是那麽的可譏。

群星雲集天堂口。

看了《天堂口》，只覺得，有點浪費了一眾實力派。還是好臉孔的那种。電影沒有太差，卻好像結構鬆散，人物的刻描不夠滲入，有點草率。馬虎，可圈可點。

我們尋找著的天堂，究竟在哪裏？忙碌，迷失，看得太遠，卻始終覺得太近。仿佛，近的永遠不好，有的始終不夠。最後，忘了我們最初的目的，簡陋的美好。

"在上海太久了，忘了簡單的生活"

"太靜了，有點不習慣"

的確，繁華讓人目眩，着迷；同時也帶給我們不盡的煩惱痛苦。心，再也靜不了了。只有遭遇挫折時，方才挂念起當初的簡單，還有漸行漸遠的幸福。

繞了一圈，天堂，其實很近很靜。但願你我，都看見了它的方向。

嚴肅后，說說裏頭的巨星。

很喜歡張震。同樣地對他一直很有好感，卻對他的作品沒有印象。發現，他的眼神真的可以殺人的。很有氣魄的好臉孔。

舒琪。讓很多人質疑演技的影后。意外地她在戯里頭開腔，滿動聽的。其實她也算演技派的，尤其那种冰霜冷艷的面部表情，拿捏得很好。

吳彥祖。好像沒有甚麽演技的，被其他一眾掩蓋過了。

劉燁。對他當年和胡軍裸露三點的同志片《藍宇》印象深刻，這囘卻將狠角色演得入木三分。啊啊！一流的演技。

孫紅雷。不知演過什麽戯的熟臉孔。還有李小璐，楊佑寧，都是不錯的。

记一部电影。

这是一部有些日子的电影。

如果.爱。让我惊叹，也让我惊艳。我想，里头的细节也不用多说了，应该没有几个人会错过这部影片的，不管看了会否喜欢。

朋友应该还记得，当初它的预告如何地被我贬伐。

不知为何，就是非常喜欢这部影片。看第二遍时，还感动得掉了泪。是的，我不否认。毕竟没有几部片子能对我起这么大魔力。

为什么？我也不知道。是因为演员太好，还是因为剧本细腻得出众？

万没想到，我会再度掉泪。在我对着小银幕观看第三回时。

怪了。真的。

仿佛，演到心坎里了。轻轻地，撼动了世事无常的无奈。对于选择，往往让人拿捏不定。最后，得到的，错过了的，好像，也只能以笑带过。

释怀，也许就是最好的，解脱。

只能慢慢学懂。



顺道：池珍熙完美的歌舞演绎，让我无法相信。周迅更不用说了。

Mr.Sinis不斷提起Donnie Yen。

Donnie Yen。一個最近不斷聽到朋友提起的名字。不知中了什麽毒，一直嚷著要看《導火綫》，連我以爲他應該很喜歡的Simpsons也放棄了。

甄子丹，我較爲熟悉的名字。印象中，他演過了無數的打鬥片。大製作，小成本電影，太多太多了，也記不起哪套較爲吸引，哪些不看也罷。起碼，記得他的打鬥風格，剛烈正氣的印象，還有便是《龍虎門》裏頭髮掩半臉的角色。

回到馬六甲，第一囘到新的電影院，也就看了《導火綫》。啊! 意想不到地，好好看噢!

電影的故事結構説不上完美，裏頭也沒有演技派的吸引，但整體還是不錯的。記得鄭則士對著微波爐裏的炸彈，然後畫面慢慢炸開，就像Spiderman 3裏Goblin被暗黑spiderman投彈毀臉一幕，我不禁對旁邊的Fatttea說：香港片進步了。

超喜歡裏頭的打鬥場面，武術效果。很有魄力，卻不失真。尤其喜歡甄子丹拳拳到肉的打法，然後他抱起對手來個後背摔，到Fatttea大呼：連Guile都來了。Guile是經典street fighter game裏的軍人角色，我則想到了Balrog，Sinis想起了Zangief，全都是有著後背摔的動作，而甄子丹好像很輕易地將它活現于大銀幕上。傻眼，真的。

看甄子丹在裏邊的打法，好象和以前印象中的不一樣了。他換了另一種打法，較多投摔技的打法。他成功將那种"混合式格鬥"發揮得淋漓盡至，一幕他將敵人的腦袋按在地板，然後將膝蓋推前猛襲，啊啊! 我讚嘆：甄子丹進步了!

第一囘到Cineleisure，看了很喜歡的《The Prestige》，被它迷亂的橋段惑住。

首次光臨MBO Malacca，看到了不一樣的甄子丹，也被他深深吸引了。

看來，我該會在《導火綫》下畫前，看個第二囘，就像看了《The Prestige》兩次一樣。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
混合式格鬥：

非單一，非規則性的格鬥武術競技，武者師承何種武術派別並不重要。

概念始創于美國和歐洲，近年更於世界各地逐漸盛行。跨學科種類的戰鬥包括巴西柔術，空手道，柔道，拳擊，跆拳道，格鬥，摔跤，相撲，南拳和其它格鬥運動。

兩种主要模式為攻擊，striking 及地戰，grappling。〈攻擊〉是一種站立式的格鬥形式，利用手，腳或膝部進行攻擊，如散打，泰拳，拳擊，跆拳等；而〈地戰〉是指降服，絞技，投擲術或絞倒等糾纏式的武術系列，如：柔道Judo，摔跤wrestling等。

很美好的電影。

多得友人Aireen的免費票，看了一部很好的日本電影：HULA GIRLS。

明白爲什麽，就是很喜歡。喜歡它對人閒還有愛的描述，世界好像一霎那簡單了，一切也變得那麽地理所當然。紛爭過了，爭吵完了，失望傷害有了。最後，還是有歡笑，還依然在乎，愛，依舊存在。

學會接受，懂得換個角度思考，我們才不會都爲了在乎，爲了關愛而傷害彼此。不能百分百了解，那是必然的。只要我們相信，那就是全部。

只要那麽一點堅持，就只要那一點。

我們，就不會爲了彼此而失望。

偶爾看看這類型的電影，方才覺得：生活，還是色彩斑斕的。希望，還是滿滿地，等著。

PS：超漂亮的電影女主角，Yu Aoi，蒼井優。很美地，完美。

Not to be missed...on the BIG screen!

Ratatouille. Rat.a.too.ee! An offer from Pixar which is hitting the BIG screen this month. I've enjoyed the trailer each & every time it get shown. Kinda fancy everything about gourmet. About great food & relationship. Can't wait but it'll soon unfold the magical great taste in the theatre.

There's more.

Coming on Dec. Starring my fav Nicole Kidman, the new Bond hunk Daniel Craig & Casino Royale's Eva Green, The Golden Compass. Based upon Northern Lights,the 1st novel in Philip Pullman's trilogy: His Dark Materials.

Well. With the polar bear & all sorts of transformable creatures. The young & innocent heroine & the world in fantasy. The art effect & all the witches. It's all pretty much like Narnia & ermm...I forget the 2nd movie's title. It's just worth waiting 4. & sure not to be missed. Let's see if it'll make another trilogy: classic.

好多意外...

昨晚，意外地，朋友寄了封簡訊，送來給我兩張“每當變換時”的電影票。

感謝她，千里迢迢，冒著被人拐掉的危機，香汗帶來的粘膩，辛苦地特地為我送來。和她吃了份午餐，AA制。所以，特別感激她。意外地，淚流不出，但我會收在心裏。

到了該前往電影院的時間，差點停止了心跳，票不見了。八成是半路意外掉了。心想：會被兩個人殺掉的，一個是她，另一個是趕來看免費的友人。幾經巧合，我們最後意外地合著一群沒有尊嚴的物體，擠進了電影院。朋友問我：他們來查票怎麽辦？我囘他：要來查的話，有一半的人得出場。厚臉皮，就是這种好處。

喜歡E臣在電影裏的傻呆，簡單地，對於感情的固執。傻耿耿的喜歡，直直的關懷，由別人來演，也許沒有那麽地貼心。

千嬅演的賣魚女，不過不失。也許，像朋友說的，她終在演囘自己。

結局意外地不如想象。但那也是對的。我們的時光，好的爛的，得到的遺憾的，終究會過去，一切不過是段過程。好幾段鏡頭，看得我熱淚差點掉下來，怪了。好像，裏頭人物的無奈，我也感受到了。會心淺笑，也因爲看見了感情的重要，微小的窩心。

我們，都好像錯過了什麽。而，成就了現在的我們。

順道：別意外看了我的blog而以爲電影特別好看，失望別怪我。我不負責的。哈哈！

I Wouldn't Mind Going... Bi!!

OK. At 1st I was about to write down something about Fantastic 4: Rise Of The Silver Surfer. Which I watched last nite & surprisingly it turned out slightly better than my expectations. Now I'm more interested on the breathtaking duo, Sue & Johnny Storm. A.k.a Invisible Woman & The Human Torch. Or Jessica Alba & Chris Evans in reality.

Wow. They are such a super stunner. Of course nobody among my list of bachelor frens wouldn't feel a tight in the crotch placing their eyes on Ms. Alba! She's been hot since the 1st episode & in the latest she seemed more mature. Never really followed her filmography but she's always on top list in any poll of the sexiest alive. Undeniable though. A pretty face with an innocent smile. A killer body figure with the finest tanned. What else can we ask 4 more? Probably a twin of her will be just nice. & we wouldn't want her to be invisible of course.

Chris. Spectacular masculinity 100% body & the perfect chest fur. Which will make most of the guys Shrek-alike & all the sissies temperature rising. Some more he's equipped with a charm which make him almost flawless. Seeing him half naked in both episode of F4 is just make sense enough. The intentions of the director are obvious. Up selling his good body to create a larger crowd. But wouldn't we like to be him, be with him or be far from him? All & each would make us feel better. Hmm.

They are young & they are unbearable. I just found out Mr.Flame On is barely 2 days younger than me. My gosh. Hope to catch both of them over the big screen more often. & pirated stuff if they showing their parts which would get scissored upon our beloved country. Until then, dreams on. Wet as you wish.

PS:F4 sequel is really better. The plot the effect the characters. But it's still got plenty possibility of getting better. We would wanna see more of the chest...both of them. & a more powerful ( not gay-ish ) Dr. Doom please. Sorry Norrin. You're kinda outwitted this time.
