The Warlords 投名狀


This is the 2nd movie I watched during last weekend. Another movie starred by Andy Lau. Am I Andy Lau fans? Of course not but feel that Andy Lau's recent movies also quite good, can say his movie is better than other Hong Kong movies.

Anyway, the main actor of this movie is Jet Li (as Chin Yun), neither Andy Lau (as Er Hu) or Takeshi Kaneshiro (as Wu Yang). The story is about the brotherhood between the 3 mans, talking about how they join the Qing Dynasty's army in China and fight together against TaiPeng Rebellion until get recognized and rewarded by the Queen at the end.

I quite pity Er Hu. His wife (starred by Xu Jinglei) is not faithful to him because of Chin Yun and killed by Chin Yun who he trusts from the beginning until the end even they having different opinion. Due to the death of Er Hu, Wu Yang decided go to kill Chin Yun since he breach their agreement (killed own brother). Can Chin Yun survive? Same answer...go to watch yourself la......:P

The lesson I learn from this movie is must work together to fight against the enemy. If lack of trust and cooperative between the brothers, it will end up with "lose" to the enemy.

Resident Evil: Extinction

Resident Evil: Extinction is the third installment in the series of film adaptations based on the Capcom survival horror series Resident Evil starred by Milla Jovovich (as Alice), Oded Fehr (as Carlos Olivera), Ali Larter (as Clair Redfield), Iain Glen (as Dr. Isaacs), Ashanti (as Betty) and Spencer Locke (as K-Mart).

Actually, this movie is considered as lady hero type of movie. Of course Milla is the only hero in the movie with special power, until can disturb the operation of satellite. Wow...amazing, I believe it already out of the storyline of Resident Evil video game!

I am one the game follower of Resident Evil or Biohazard but have such power in the game - only can use weapon to kill zombie or just run...............when no armor.

If you like action movie, this is one of the movie can see but can't expect much.

Three Kingdoms: Resurrection Of the Dragon

I can say this movie is one of the greatest Hong Kong made movie this year. The story started with a soldier of Kingdom Of Shu, Zao Zilong (starred by Andy Lau) became veteran of general to fight against Kingdom of Wei.

The greatest Zao Zilong never be defeated in the war until been called as "Forever Win General" till enemy also scare about his ability.

At the age of 71, Zao Zilong decided to lead the expedition to Kingdom of Wei but unfortunately, he will face Cao Ying (starred by Maggie Q), grand daughter of warlord Cao Cao. All his soldiers killed by the enemy until the last man - Zao ZiLong. Can he still escape from his enemy? :(

Anyway, the movie story is not same as what recorded in the history book and novel. Zao ZiLong is a general with good fate. He died because of old age, not killed in the war like other generals.

Movie Rating: 8 / 10

Hitman

This movie is made based on the top-selling, award-winning video game franchise. The “Hitman” is a genetically-engineered, elite assassin known only as Agent 47 (starred by Timothy Olyphant). His hallmarks are a lethal grace, unwavering precision, and resolute pride in his work. But even 47 couldn’t anticipate a “random equation” in his life of exactitude: the unexpected stirrings of his conscience and the unfamiliar emotions aroused in him by a mysterious Russian woman.

Really hard to comment about this movie because feel quite confuse when watching the movie. The main actress, Olga Kurylenko acts as Nika in the movie is very hot and sexy by showing her small boobs.

:P

The most attractive thing of the movie is the sound track. I really like the orchestra song sang by a lady in the movie but don't know the name of the song. Anyway, you may listen it at Hitman Movie official website and let me know if you know the name :)

In The Name of The King - A Dungeon Siege Tale

Another movie talking about war between human and semi human monster (called Krug in the movie). Another series of movie Lord of The Ring?

Of course the answer is NO.......................this movie is not related to LOTR. It just a new movie directed by Uwe Boll and was released early of year 2008.

Just watched it few days ago. The story begins about a village man with nickname "farmer" (by Jason Statham,) goes to save his wife (by Claire Forlani) who caught by Krug when the Krug attacking the village. Finally, farmer found that his is son of King Konreid (by Burt Reynords) and become the King after King Konreid killed. Farmer leads his army to fight against Gallian who leads the Krug army.

How is the ending? Grab you own copy and watch it...............personally don't like the ending and believe there are many ways can make it better.
