What do you think when you see a movie cast by Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr.? The answer is Comedy Movie.

When 5 Hollywood stars - Tug Speedman (starred by Stiller), Jeff Portnoy (starred by Black), Kirk Lazarus (starred by Downey), Alpa Chino (by Brandon T.Jackson) and Kevin Sandusky (by Jay Baruchel) head into the jungles of Vietnam to shoot a war movie called Tropic Thunder, they have no idea how real things can get. Therefore, the movie director has a plan to force them all to act real by bringing them to real war environment but unfortunately they really meet with a big group chinese terrorist in the director's plan. They are not soldier, just good actor, Can they fight with the terrorist and survive from the real war?

An Empress And The Warriors 江山美人

The story was set in Ancient China before it’s unification, during which countless kingdoms battle for supremacy. Yen Feier 燕飞儿 (by Kelly Chen 陈慧琳) is thrust on the throne when her father is killed in a battle. Feier and her loyal general Murong Xuehu 慕容雪虎 (by Donnie Yen) unite to defend the kingdom. But her ambitious cousin Wu Ba 胡霸 (by Guo Xiaodong) sends assassins to kill her.

A mysterious man Duan Lan-Quan 段兰泉 (by Leon Lai) saves her. Feier falls in love with Duan who offers her a freedom life. With the fate of her kingdom in the balance, Feier must choose between her duty and her dreams. But Feier still choose freedom life with her love one.

The story highlights that woman emphasize love more than works which is not suitable for modern working lady nowadays. Because of love, Feier make her followers sacrifice. The movie makes the audience feel that woman useless, only talk about love, love and love which is not. Anyway, very nice to watch Donnie Yen's fighting scene.

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.

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.
