I like to move it move it...he likes to move it move it...she likes to move it move it...we like to "MOVE IT"!!!

Sounds familiar? You're right, Alex (the lion), Gloria (the hypo), Marty (the zebra) and Melman (the giraffe) of Madagascar are coming back! This time 4 of them with the help from penguins to fly back to New York from Madagascar. Unfortunately their plane crash and bring them to their real home - Africa.

4 of them even found their own home but facing big problem among themselves. Alex meets up with his parent (lion king and queen) who expects Alex to become the next lion king. The basic requirement as lion king is good fighting skill. Alex is good in dancing but not fighting. How he can face his enemy to protect the glory of his family?

Gloria is expecting to build up own family and she found her ideal love partner - big and fat hypo named Moto Moto in Africa. Moto Moto only love her but does not understand & know her well. How's Gloria going to make decision for her love?

Wall-E

Wall-E is one the good movies I watched recently, even it just an animation movie. The storyline is about Wall-E (a robot designed to clean all the rubbish in the world) and Eve (a fighting robot) to bring back the human back to their mother earth.

The movie talks about love (between 2 robots?) and also advise us to save our environment. We should recycle the rubbish to avoid same like what happen in this movie, no more flora and fauna, until human staying in spaceship in galaxy.

Let's recycle and protect our mother earth.

The Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor

Just back from GSC cinema after watched the premier screening of The Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor at 1 Utama shopping complex. So, I quickly post something about this movie here.

In The Mummy 3, Rick O'Connel (starred by Brendan Fraser) faces the challenge from mummy again. But this time is not Egytian mummy, is Chinese mummy - Terracotta Army leaded by Emperor Han (starred by Jet Li). I believe that Emperor Han of the movie is First Emperor in China named Qin Shi Huang (or Shi Huang Ti) who ruled China from 241BCE to 210BCE as King of Great Qin. Besides Chinese mummy, you also able to see yeti (or snowman) and 3 heads dragon in this movie.

Why I said Emperor Han is Shi Huang Ti? Shi Huang Ti undertook some gigantic projects such as current version of Great Wall and Terracotta Army. Besides, he was the king always look for immortality. It all are exactly what Emperor Han does in the movie.

Basically the story started after world war 2 when Rick and his wife Evelyn (now starred by Maria Bello; previously starred by Rachel Weisz) are assigned to send the eye of Shangri-la back to China from England. But they are betrayed by their friend Professor Wilson who used Rick & Evelyn's son Alex to find the Emperor Han & his army.

With helps from Jonathan (Evelyn's brother), Lin (starred by Isabella Leong) and Lin's mother Zhi Yuan (starred by Michelle Yeoh), can O'Connel family defeat Emperor Han who helped by a group soldier leaded by General Yang (starred by Anthony Wong Chau-Sang) and Choi (starred by Jessey Meng)?

Generally this movie is considered a nice movie with a lot nice animation and fighting scenes but the movie time too short.

Let's take a look on the below trailer:

The Incredible Hulk

The latest The Incredible Hulk movie is far far better that the part one of The Incredible Hulk which directed by Hong Kong famous director Lee Ann. After I watched the part one, really fainted! Suppose a superhero movie with a lot of action scene but was directed become a movie for movie award - boring!

The new director - Louis Leterrier brings in Edward Norton as Bruce Banner / Hulk and pretty Liv Tyle as Bruce's belove Betty Ross. The movie comes with a lot of nice fighting scene (a superhero movie must be like this) especially the fight between the two giant: The green and the brown?

Tony Stark (Iron Man) also appears at the end of the movie and proposes to partner with the General (Betty's father who keep chasing Hulk for ultimate weapon for the country). What Tony want to do? Will he partners with General to fight with Hulk in part 3??

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Indiana Jones comes back. Even Harrison Ford ages 60+ but he still act as Indiana Jones in the latest Indiana Jones movie series - Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

The story begins with KGB leaded by agent Irina Spalko (starred by Cate Blanchett) to steal a specimen from US government in US military base to find out the crystal skull. They believe who returns the crystal skull to Akator (a legendary city) can own a special power to conquer the world.

Mutt Williams (starred by Shia Labeouf) seeks help from Indy to save his mother - Marion Ravenwood (starred by Karen Allen) and Professor 'Ox' Oxley (starred by John Hurt) who caught by KGB to help unlock the secret of Crystal Skull of Akator. Therefore, Indy starts his adventure again to Akator and save his lover Marion and old friend Ox at the same time.

In the movie, not many action by Harrison, may be an old man should not go for action movie. Shia Labeouf has more action and actually he is son of Indy. I believe when Harrison can't act Indy again due to his old age, Shia can continues the movie series of Indiana Jones. Mutt Indiana? Haha...

Besides, I like Akator. If it is a real place, definitely I will visit it :)

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

After the Kings and Queens of Narnia backed to their own world, the Narnia has been conquered by Telmarine. Narnia's rightful heir to the throne, Prince Caspian is hiding against his uncle, Lord Miraz who wanted to become King of Narnia. Accidently Prince Caspian blows the horn until bring back the King Peter, King Edmuns, Queen Lucy and Queen Susan to save Narnia.

With help for the 4 kings and queens, can Prince Caspian takes back his throne from his uncle? The Narnian needs to fight against great army (with catapult) of Telmarine leaded by King Miraz. Will Azlan return again to save them from the great army?

"The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" is better than "The Chronicles of Narnia: The lion, the witches and the wardrobe". You can see great fighting scene in this movie including one one one fighting (Miraz vs Peter) and Narnian (with talking rat, tiger, dwarf, badger, etc) vs Telmarine army. I would say child version of Lord The Ring :P

Iron Man

Finally, Iron Man movie released in the cinema yesterday. Since today is a public holiday, so I decided went to GSC Signature at The Gardens to watch Iron Man.

Iron Man is one of Marvel's Superheroes. Tony Stark (the main character) become Superhero (as Iron Man) because of his intelligence in technology especially in weapon, not superpower like Spiderman and Incredible Hulk.

The story started with Tony Stark (starred by Robert Downey Jr.) kidnapped by Ten Ring (a rebellion) in Afghanistan when he is demonstrating his new weapon there.He forced by Ten Ring to build weapon for them but he builds superhero suit instead of the weapon to escape from the jail and 1st version of Iron Man born (prototype) . After back to US, he decided to build the new version of Iron Man (the one with Red & Gold color) to protect the world.

Later, his personal assistant, Pepper (starred by Gwyneth Paltrow) found that the kidnap is planned by Obadiah, top executive in Stark Industries but unfortunately Obadiah knows it. Obadiah equips himself superhero suite (he developed it based on the prototype of Iron Man found in Afghanistan) to kill Pepper but luckily Iron Man can come on time to save Pepper. War between 2 version of Iron Man begins!!

Actually Iron Man is one my favorite Marvel hero. I like his outlook ;)

Overall this movie quite nice but please don't expect much. Not many fighting scenes as Spiderman does because Iron Man only use power weapon, no need to fight, just shoot...

Should go to watch it if you are planning to watch a movie this weekend.

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.
