From Paris with love

This is an action movie about counter terrorist in Paris. Lots of gun fighting scenes but the way Travolta shoots kind of remind me of those HK movies in the 90s. Overall, quite entertaining with a lil bit of humour but not impressive. Storyline is ordinary and very much expected while the ending is just ended by one single gun shot, that's it. I'll rate this at 6/10.

Legion

Despite all the advertising hype created, this movie does not live up to my expectation at all, even though I'm quite agreeable with the message delivered in this movie. Lots of gun shooting scenes but not really impressive, the killings doesn't look brutal or gory at all and the ending is a real letdown. I was expecting the good angel to lead a bunch of humans for a free-for-all fight with the possessed humans. I'll rate this at 6/10.

Astro boy

This animation's storyline is a mixture of Iron Man and Wall E fused together. Story about a robot inventor who has lost his son, created an exact copy of his robotic son powered by a powerful 'blue thing' that can allow that robot to fly and has infinite power. Overall, very entertaining and my kids love this animation. I'll rate this at 6/10.

Possession

This is a movie about 2 brothers in love of one girl met a head on collision and it appears that they have their character and memory switched to one another. It's mysterious movie which will make you stay on to find out the ending but has no action or brutal murder scenes. More like a romantic mystery movie to me with a very different storyline. I'll rate this at 6/10.

Ninja Assassin

The storyline is similar to Hitman where boys are kidnapped to be trained as assassin, ninja style this time. This movie has managed to exceed my expectation as I believe this is the first time this Korean guy acted in an English movie, what more an action movie. Lots of blood gushing slashing scenes and flying stars like it's being shot out from a machine gun. This movie also ends with a 'bang' with impressive samurai sword fighting scene (with very realistic wound). Unfortunately, being ninja which only appear in the dark, quite a number of fight scenes in the middle are a bit unclear. I'll rate this at 7/10.

REC 2

Watched the first part earlier, this is the sequel but overall failed to take this movie to a higher level, it dipped down. Less gory scenes, storyline does not develop well especially when the few kids got pulled in to it which I find it rather illogical. The ending seems to suggest for another sequel which I think I really had enough. I'll rate this at 5/10.

14 Blades

This is an ancient Chinese movie about a bunch of executors trained to kill anyone who is not in favour of the Emperor. Donnie Yen is the head of this team. The uncle of the Emperor tried to grab the throne and steal the seal by colluding with several eunuchs within the palace by using Donnie. Overall, Donnie's barehand fight is always impressive but the others were absolutely crappy ala ancient Chinese fantasy style fighting. Come on, it's already year 2010 and nobody gonna watch such fighting style anymore. The storyline is also crappy with a few scenes being intentionally made to feature more on Zhao Wei which I think it's kinda immature. I'll rate this at 6/10.

Hitman

This is one of my favourite PC game. This movie is about a guy, bred to be an assassin from child, being set up in a mission by his own boss, I think. Quite a few action scenes only and I think the movie should have done more to show how an assassination should be done, from infiltration, hiding of weapons, execution and extraction from the scene. The whole process is not fully shown and hence, the movie doesn't appear to be realistic at all. There are also a variety of killing method not shown here. I'll rate this at 6/10.

Armored

This movie is about a bunch of security guards trying to squander some monies in transit by them but has gone wrong. Not much of action, the story a bit different but not really realistic. More like a B grade movie for me although it has actors like Jean Reno. Just another average action movie. I'll rate this at 6/10.

Up in the air

This movie is about a guy who work in a company specialised in firing workers where the bosses are too afraid to do so. This movie develops really slowly, lots of talking and unnecesary scenes. However, the scenes on firing worker are quite dramatic and you can really relate into it especially if you are an employee as well. Apart from that, this movie also shows how this guy gets to fly around and his quest to earn 10 million miles point as his personal goal. I'll rate this at 6/10.

Carriers

This movie is about an era where the world is infected with a deadly disease and has no cure for it. Although there is not much of action in this movie, it has successfully depicted how human has to be selfish and kill each other, all for survival and resources. I'll rate this at 6/10.

Planet terror

This is another zombie movie. Unlike other zombie movies, this one was supergross, guaranteed to make you puke and humorous at the same time, definitely a better watch than Zombieland. The gun fight scenes were a bit unrealistic as it was exaggerated in some way, probably for humour purpose. The killings were brutal and sudden, may jolt you up. The best part was, I really wonder how the A Go Go dancer can act without a leg when it was clearly shown at the beginning that she has a real leg and dancing with them, really unbelievable special effects. I'll rate this at 8/10.

Hot fuzz

This is a movie about an overperforming police in London being transferred to a small town. What makes this movie special is that we have humour, gory & brutal murders, mystery and gun fight actions all blended together in one movie. Of course, the gun fight scenes were not realistic for today standard because it was supposed to be humourous. Anyway, it was still entertaining throughout the entire movie while the storyline also developed unpredictably at the same time, something I don't expect from an unknown underdog movie. I'll rate this at 8/10.
