Shaolin (The New Shaolin Temple 2011) - Film Review

- The Action was great!
- Effects were okay.
- The Drama was great!
- The story was good.
- The acting was superb!

Another Kung-Fu film but with less flying ^_^ A truly great movie with moral lessons, unlike other new films nowadays. The minor comedy brought by Jacki Chan was sufficient enough to make the film even greater. A film with combination of Action, Drama and Comedy.

Rating: 9 out of 10 Stars (because it is subtitled) ^_^

The Green Hornet - Review

The action scenes were not so good.
The effects were okay.
The acting was not so good either.
If it weren't for the hotness of Cameron Diaz and the tiny bit of comedy, the entire film would have suck completely. 

RATING: 5 out of 10 Stars.

Gulliver's Travels - Review

I like Jack Black. He's a great comedian, one of my favorites. But, I did not quite like the entire movie. Black's acting was good--but, there's something about the film that spoiled the comedian in me. Probably, the other actors....@_@ I have not read the book so I will not comment on the story.

Little Fockers - Review

The Tourist - Review

I was disappointed with this film. It had less action compared with other Angelina Jolie films. And the only action scenes it had was pretty ordinary. The acting was good though. I loved all the scenery in Venice! The story was okay, although, I did not quite like the ending.

The Social Network - Movie - Review

Seeing the movie "The Social Network" made me feel more inferior with my Social Status, Financial Status, Educational Attainment, Skills, Stored Knowledge and Everyday Knowledge. Made me feel more inferior of who I am. ^_^

I never knew students could do those stuff during college... ^_^ All I did back then was study by the book, memorize, hang-out at Mc D's, watch a movie, drink out/ night out, and worry about my future thesis. ^_^

All I think about back then was, after college I would pursue: Medicine and become a surgeon; or become a Pilot; or engage in Culinary Arts.

Have I known -- I would have transferred into a better college or university.

If I had their way of thinking, by now I could have been very successful, or at least be very productive, also in the sense that I would have been much more independent and aggressive in any of my chosen field of interest. Maybe, I could have been the very first, youngest billionaire in Asia. ^_^ hihihi   

I wonder if the film portrayed Mark Zuckerberg accurately and fairly...

The film is centered mostly on "how" Zuckerberg became an enemy towards his friends and showed him being an *ss h*le. Yep! mostly negative publicity for Mark and how he created Facebook.

I like the film though. It was worth watching. This is one of the movies that actually has "essence". It's not boring and the story does not drag.

The actors were good. They portrayed their role almost perfectly.

The film/story would have been very inspiring if the character came from a poor family or from a kid who studies in a public school/community college, then invented facebook.

Nevertheless, I would rate the film 5 out of 5 popcorn! ^_^

YEAHBOY! ^_^

The Lost Symbol by: Dan Brown - Book - Review

Before anything else, this is my first time to do a book review, so bear with me. Hopefully, I would improve in the future. I will do my best not to reveal spoilers! ^_^

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After much anticipation, finally, I got a copy of Dan Brown's latest novel "The Lost Symbol".

The book has 528 pages of good read.

The story is OK, it did not drag (or if it did -- I barely noticed it) The plot titillated my mind and emotion, although it is nothing, compared with Brown's previous work, The Da Vincci Code.

The antagonist of the story was easily revealed in the beginning, but the true identity of the character remained hidden till the last few chapters. Furthermore, the villain was fantastic! I liked the way how he planned everything.

How Brown portrayed the other supporting characters was amazing. You'll never know whether they are pro or anti. Especially, of the CIA. Her character is one of the best and my fave!

Most of the puzzles and codes were quite mediocre unlike with the ones written in Angels and Demons and Da Vincci Code. Although, I loved how he created the secret on the Pyramid.

I liked the science behind the book. Especially, the underwater thing! *wink* I never knew it could be possible.

The revelations about Free Masonry is great. It answered some of my questions regarding "the brotherhood". Brown shed some insight on the aspects of the Masonic system, beliefs, rituals, etc. Although, I wonder if they are all facts?

To cut this short, the book is worth reading and worth watching! I can't wait to see the movie in 2012. ^_^
