National Treasure: Book Of Secret

National Treasure: Book of Secret starred by Nicholas Cage (as Ben Gates), Justin Bartha (as Riley Poole) and Diane Kruger (as Abigail Chase) is not a new movie. I missed it when it being shown in the cinema.

Ben's great grand father, Thomas Gates is accused involved in the assassination of US President Lincoln. To prove Thomas is the hero of Civil War, Ben needs to find the treasure "City of The Gold" or "Cibola" together with his best friend Riley and girl friend Abigail and the treasure hunt of Ben Gates started!!

Actually a lot of thing I really don't understand, are all about the history of US such as Civil War, President Lincoln, Mount Rushmore, etc...

Anyway, I have few questions here after watched the movie. Does US President have Book of Secret which recorded all the secret of the nation from President to President? US President did ask Ben to read page 47 in the Book of Secret and it about what? May be we can get this answer from National Treasure III in future!

Movie Rating: 7 / 10

Run Papa Run (一个好爸爸)

I think this is the best movie that can be dedicated to father during father's day. It talking about a father can sacrifice everything for the daughter even a head of gangster group decided stop to do black money business for the good future of his daughter.

Louis Koo partners (as Lee Tin-yun) with Rene Liu (as Mabel Chan) again (partnered in the movie "Happy Birthday") and Lee Chun-Yan plays as a cute little daughter of Louis and Rene in this Sylvia Chang movie.

Will the God gives Lee a chance to become good father or will he be killed by the gangster group because he betrays them?

Superhero Movie

Another stupid funny movie directed by Craig Mazin who directed Scary Movie and Naked Gun. The movie is modified based on the story of Spiderman movie. But this time is not a smart spiderman, is a stupid dump dump green "Drogan Fly" (starred by Drake Bell) as a superhero that falls in love with Jill (starred by Sara Paxton).


Besides Dragon Fly, Mr.Fantastic, Wolverine, Storm, Professor Xavier, Invisible Woman also appeared in the movie. It also make fun of Tom Cruise, Prof. Hawkin, Nelson Mandela, Dalai Lama, etc.

After watched this movie, do you still like the Pretty version (original) of Invisible Woman (starred by Jessica Alba) or Big Boob version of Invisible Woman (starred by Pamela Anderson)? Haha...

If you wanna to have a big laugh, may be this movie suitable for you. Just for you to relax because watching this movie will not make to thi nk!

Movie Rating: 5 / 10


The Forbidden Kingdom

Another movie related to Monkey God of Ancient China, but this time is in English. The Forbidden Kingdom is talking about a journey to return the golden rod (Monkey God's Special Weapon) to Monkey God who cursed to become stone. The return of the rod will revive the monkey god.
I am expecting this is a good action movie but out of my expectation after watched. The action quite ok especially during the fighting between Jet Li and Jackie Chan. But, if talking about the storyline, I would say is very bad.

Starring: Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Michael Angarano Crystal Liu, Collin Chou, Lee BingBing.

Drillbit Taylor



Drillbit Taylor is the latest comedy movie of Owen Wilson (as Drillbit Taylor). The story is talking about 3 high school students, Ryan (starred by Troy Gentile), Wade (by Nate Hartley) and Emmit (by David Dorfman) recruits Drillbit as their budget body guard to prevent bully by Filkins and Ronnie. But Drillbit's intention as a body guard is to cheat the kids' money to achieve his dream.

Because of influence by the three kids and his high school teacher girl friends, Barbara (by Beth Littleford), he decided to help the kids to fight against the gangster.

The movie is funny and it teaching us be brave to face your problem and solve it. Anyway, is a good movie for parents to bring their child to watch during this school holiday.
