Since doing my own biz, I’ve been finding alot more time for movies

Let’s see how the movies fare in my opinion:

The Karate Kid (4.5 stars out of 5)

A very touching movie, even though it’s an old plot. Jaden Smith is really good at acting, and super cute – the reviews were right! Esp with me following Jackie Chan (@EyeofJackieChan) on Twitter and hearing so much about it, I was really looking forward to it. And I’m glad it didnt fail me! The behind-the-scenes shots showing Will Smith & wife Jada Pinkett anxious over Jaden’s scenes while filming, taking care of him…really is heart-warming and is indeed what gives the movie an extra emotional + point. Not to forget, Jada & Will makes such a handsome couple! And, in the movie The Pursuit of Happyness, which was acted by Will Smith about how a man raised his son despite being poor, the “son” was his own son Jaden! I think it’s amazing family bond Will’s family have.

Prince of Persia – The Sands of Time (4 stars out of 5)

It’s one of the best action fantasy film I’ve watched even though I was highly skeptical about the choice of actor Jake Gyllenhaal whom I’d thought was too “modern-looking” to fit into the movie. Complete with humor and a heroic+love ending, it’s just PERFECT.

Ip Man I & II (4 stars out of 5)

Yup I know Ip Man I is not a latest movie, but I watched the 2nd one first and was told the first one was better. I still like the “hero-ness” of Ip Man II, hate the brutalness of Ip Man I, love the innocence of the boy and the comic-humor in Ip Man I and proud of the Chinese-Kungfu-beats-arrogant-angmoh-boxing in Ip Man II.

Clash of the Titans (3 stars out of 5)

Initial afterthought was that it was a pretty good movie. But after watching the rest in the following months, esp Prince of Persia, it really pales in comparison – in plot and action. Till today, I only rem the pretty princess.

Sex and the City 2 (3.5 stars out of 5)

Not bad for a chick flick. In actual fact, it’s the fashion of SATC that sends people raving about it. It’s all about vanity. By the way, the classic black Marlies Pekker lingerie that Jessica Parker wore was soooo nice. hehe!

p/s: Though it’s such a bimbotic show with zero-plot, I think it’s not the movie’s fault. It’s just the nature of SATC anyway! It’s like Phua Chu Kang sitcom is going to come out as a movie. Would you look at it and criticise it as no-plot or would you just expect lots of humor? Com’on, SATC is just a chick flick that inspires great fashion and sex and gossip. So there’s nothing wrong with no-plot. Don’t like chick flick? Be smarter next time.
