What Makes a Hero

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

We (me n uly) have just completed the 1st season of Heroes last sunday. I really recommend this series. But I need to warn you, be very careful, it’s addictive you might not survive (^_^) We’re dying for the next season. Four thumbs up to Tim Kring and his team.

Heroes - The SeriesWatching this series has given me a strange thought that the World needs heroes. And I’m sure it really does. Can anyone explain why heroic stories has always been a great topic to be brought up? Children like watching it on cartoon TV shows, teenagers are crazy about the comics, and adults are queuing in front of the movie ticket windows. Everyone love heroic themes, and I say, It’s because they need heroes, we need heroes, the world needs heroes. But that’s not all, there’s one other thought which is beyond it: We want to be heroes. Perhaps not everyone realize this, but there’s an urge inside everyone to become a hero.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s EndThis 3rd series of Caribbean Pirates was one of our (me n uly) most wanted upcoming movie this year, and knowing that it was already played on the cinema had really liven up our excitement. Well, we didn’t wait for days to rush in.

Jack Sparrow, once again teamed up a great trio with Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. This time supported by other 2 Pirate Captains, Barbossa and Sao Feng (A really great appeareance by Chow Yun Fat as another asian movie star in Holywood). My impression is, despite of its lack of answers in some parts of this movie (I think some points are meaningless), in overall, this movie has really worth the wait. We experienced quite a great pirate-sphere in about 2 and a half hour duration.

Spiderman 3

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

Spiderman 3I’m not actually a great fan of spiderman, especially the comic books. But the wide screen version has really caught my heart. Since the first of the series released in 2002, it has really brought such a great movie experience. The 2nd came in 2004, bringing even a better experience. And Spiderman 3, which they say as the last of the series, has really thrown me out my seat! I say it’s fantastic! Superb! Great fighting technic, full optimization of the latest technology. And the drama, a really good touch in reaching our emotion, considering it was an action movie. I believe they could have made it more dramatic if it were a TV series (^_^) but let’s not discuss the unnecessary.

2 in 1 (Mr. Bean’s Holiday)

Mr. Bean’s Holiday~ This post is a sequel of a previous one ~

NExT movie is Bean Holiday. Everybody knows Mr.Bean, and everybody knows how funny he is. I guess that’ll be a hard situation for this movie, since everyone goes to watch this movie would have great expectations on it, and so do we. Me and my girl both enjoy Mr.Bean series. So we watched this movie with great expectations. Unfortunately, we’re not as pleased as we expected to be. The movie was funny, entertaining, we laughed in many parts of it, but still something is missing. I’m not quite sure what it is, but I think this bean is not as bean as he used to be. He’s just a funny man, but not bean enough. Well, as I’ve said, It’ll be hard for him to maintain his well-known personallity as bean, or perhaps it’s just me with my great expectations. Anyway, this is a good movie, I’ll give it a 3 point of 5.

2 in 1 (TMNT)

Saturday, April 7th, 2007

I watched 2 movies a few days ago. Since I watched them in the same day, I guess I’ll share them in the same post, too (^_^) We were going to watch bean at 19:30, but only the front seats are available. Watching from front seats is a pain it the a** :p being too close to the screen, your eyes won’t be able to focus on the whole screen, and you’ll also have your neck ache after it. So we decided to watch TMNT instead. Having walked around the mall, I remembered the ticket girl said something about bean played at 22:00, so I asked my girl if she would like to watched it after TMNT, and so we did.

TMNTNow let’s on to the first movie, TMNT is the abbreviation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I’ve been loving them since I was a kid. I’ve seen the early 2 movies of TMNT which has also been brought to wide screen, but this one use FULL 3D animation. The movie started with a short introduce to TMNT. It also told that Shredder is dead, and Leonardo was sent to a training deep in the jungle.

the spartans

Monday, March 26th, 2007

the KingsI watched this movie last week - “300″ - It’s about the brave warriors of Spartans against the great force of Persians. From my own point of view, the main idea of the movie is to acknowledge the Spartans. But it’s not the movie I like to share, It’s what I’ve learned from it. The 300 Warriors of Spartans has shown me how to fight in a battle, how to gain victory, how to win a war and how to build a strong team.
