Meet The Spartan

Synopsis

After successfully skewering Hollywood’s scariest movie (as two of the writers on “Scary Movie”), romantic comedy franchises (“Date Movie”), and Hollywood blockbusters (“Epic Movie”), writers/directors/producers Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer now set their sights on “300.”

The heroic Leonidas, armed with nothing but leather underwear and a cape, leads a ragtag group of 13 – count ‘em, 13! – Spartans to defend their homeland against the invading Persians (whose ranks include Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, the Transformers and a hunchbacked Paris Hilton).

My Comment

I am expecting it is a funny movie and able to make me laugh loudly, to help release tension. Before watch this movie, my friend suddenly told me that this is a stupid movie. Never mind, I still watch it regardless what he said. After watched it, I feel like what my friend told me. Don't know how to describe the movie - bad or worst? It not like Scary Movie, at least can make people laugh, but it not. I don't suggest to watch this movie, wasting time only unless you have much time to spend.

Ah Long Pte Ltd 《老师嫁老大》

Storyline

Ah Long Pte Ltd is a light-hearted black comedy about the triad world and the money-lending business. Instead of treating the subject of Ah Longs (money-lenders) seriously, the movie takes on a humorous and sarcastic treatment. It depicts how a young lady tries to restructure her money-lending triad into a professional and ‘loving' triad that stands against the use of violence after she takes over from her triad leader who has retired. Her various restructuring plans (which are no doubt very creative) bring about hilarious results.

Chen Jun (played by Richard Low) is the leader of Shao He Triad. The story opens with him deciding to “retire” from the triad business. Prior to his retirement, he elects Wang Li Hua (played by Fann Wong), a young but tough girl, as his successor.

Li Hua believes that changes need to be made to the current money lending system . Although Li Hua prioritizes the triad's success, she is very much against the idea of using violent means to collect debts. Therefore, with the help of some professional consultants, Li Hua and several of her subordinates (played by KK and Daniel Tan) start adopting a series of creative tactics to attract money lenders and practice hilarious methods to pressure the money-lenders to repay in a non-violent way. However, Li Hua's plan of “restructuring” her triad meets with obstacles and opposition from the majority of the conservative elders in both her own triad and rival triad.

At the brighter end of the world, Mr. Fang (played by Mark Lee) is a kind-hearted dance instructor who is slightly sissy in character. Fate has it that Mr. Fang runs into Li Hua on numerous occasions by chance. Since Li Hua's mother has been pressuring her to get married, Li Hua decides to force Mr. Fang to marry her. Surprisingly, Mr. Fang agrees to it, wanting to prove his masculinity. Though finding it hard to accept the fact that Li Hua is a triad head, Mr. Fang approves of her effort to minimize the use of violence. Subsequently, he offers to help Li Hua out by introducing creative ways to reduce violent methods of debt collection.

My Comment

This is the funniest movie I watched this year. The most funny character in the movie is the 1/2 guy (is a man but act like female) named "Mr.Fang". From this movie, I learn that girl should "Act Like MANU"?? Meaning show off half of your breast, haha.................

Besides, this movie also fool its audience. Li Hua can be chased by one group gangster from Bukit Bintang Area (behind KL Plaza) until South City Plaza in Seri Kembangan. I believe the distance between the two places is more than 10km, ha.......they all can participate in Marathon!!!

Anyway, I hope it can educate REAL Ah Long to change their way to do business!!

10,000 B.C

Storyline

It was a time when men and beast were untamed and the mighty mammoth roamed the earth. A time when ideas and beliefs were born that forever shaped mankind. 10,000B.C. follows a young hunter - D’leh (Steven Strait) on his quest to lead an army across a vast desert to rescue the women he loves - Evolet (Camilla Belle) from an evil warlord determined to possess her.

My Comment

The film is talking about a normal man becomes a hero due to a beauty! I expected a lot of fighting scene here but it’s not. D’leh is not a good fighter and he kills enemy by luck. The best scene of this film is when D’leh and his fellows chased by a man eating giant bird (its look like giant Ostrich). Generally it is one of films worth to watch in March 2008.
