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?

Marty found himself no longer special when mix with the zebras and even his best friend Alex also can't recognize him. He lost himself. Can he stand up again?

Melman love Gloria very much but dare not to express his feeling to Gloria. When he found that he is going to die due to uncured dicease, he finally express his love to Gloria. Will Gloria accept his love before he die?

Let's go and enjoy one of the best movies during this school holiday and sure will relax and laugh while watching the show.

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.

3D-Journey to the Center of the Earth

Journey to the Center of the Earth is first live-action feature film to be shot and released entirely in digital 3D. The cast is lead by Brendan Fraser (as Prof. Trevor Anderson), Josh Hutcherson (as Sean Anderson) and Anita Briem (as Hannah Ásgeirsson).

The Story
No one believes that Trevor Anderson is on to something. The science professor’s unconventional hypotheses have put him on the fringe of the academic community. But during an expedition in Iceland, Trevor and his teenage nephew, Seam, accompanied by their beautiful local guide, Hannah, make a breakthrough discovery that launches them on a thrilling adventure into the unknown. As their journey takes them deep beneath the Earth’s surface, they travel thorough never-before-seen-worlds that bring them face-to-face with surreal and unimaginable creatures, stretching the bounds of the visionary scientist’s own imagination.

Personal Comment
From the movie, you can see how advance the current technology of animation is. The scenes appear in the movie are very nice. The selling point of this movie is the 3D technology. Without 3D effect, I don't see anything can attract the audience.

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:

Hancock

John Hancock (starred by Will Smith) is a man with superhero power but he is not a superheroes because he does not act like a superhero. He does save people from danger until damage public infrastructure like building, road, etc. Besides, liquor is his favorite. He drunk almost all the time.

Due to his bad habit and action, the people of Los Angles hate him except Ray Embrey (starred by Jason Bateman) who was saved by Hancock in an accident. Ray Embrey is a Public Relation specialist and decided to train Hancock to become a Superhero, but his wife Mary Embrey (starred by Charlize Theron) raises objection.

Actually Hancock and Mary are husband and wife since 3000 years ago. When they are close together, they will lose superpower and the enemy will come to attack them. 80 years ago they were attached until Hancock wounded and lost memory. Mary decided to leave him alone and started to have new life like normal people does.

Now they meet up again and the enemy will appear soon to take their life. Can they face the challenge again?

The movie is short. I expected this movie will bring a lot of fighting scenes but actually not. It is with a lot of jokes, especially when he says "Good Job, Good Job" to people, haha :))

Anyway, the movie doesn't explain the background of Hancock. Why he has superpower and where are they from? Who are they? From Mars? Really don't know here...

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??

Kung Fu Panda

Nothing is impossible! Even a stupid fat panda named Po (voiced by Jack Black) also can become a Kung Fu Master. As long as you are focus and hardworking to do something and definitely will bring success to you.

This is movie is quite a funny movie for watching but too short, less than 90 minutes. The panda really cute and funny especially when look at its facial expression. Haha!

Only talk about the cast will attract audience. Besides Jack Black, you can find Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, David Cross, Lucy Liu, Seth Rogan, Dustin Hoffman, Ian McShane.

Anyway, I have question here. Why a duck is the panda's father?? Adoption?
