14 Blades

Donnie Yen as Green Dragon


I went watching 14 Blades yesterday at TGV and found that the story is quite ok, although almost all the good guys die - even the main cast, Donnie Yen, who played Qing Long (Green Dragon). The movie sure attracts a lot of the girls, because of the appearance of Wu Zhun, who played Judge, but for those who watch because of Wu Zhun, please bear with the movie for almost first 30 minutes of the show before he first appear.

Below is the trailer of the movie.




The plot outline of 14 Blades movie....

During the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of China possessed one weapon greater than all others, the Imperial Guards, an elite force of assassins recruited from street orphans. Trained in clandestine combat from childhood, the Imperial Guards were masters of the 14 Blades, eight being for torture, five for killing, and the last blade being reserved for suicide when a mission failed. Above the law, with a license to kill, the Imperial Guards devoted their lives and lethal prowess to the service of the Emperor alone.

When the Imperial Court is taken over by evil eunuch Jia, the best of the Imperial Guards, Green Dragon and Xuanwu, are assigned to steal a list identifying those still loyal to the Emperor. However unbeknownst to Green Dragon, the Imperial Guards have fallen under the control of Jia, and during the mission Green Dragon is betrayed by Xuanwu and barely escapes with his life. Now as the most wanted man in the land Green Dragon must seek out and rally the loyalists to rise against Jia and restore the Emperor to power. In his way are the deadliest assassins in the land, his former brethren, the Imperial Guards.

Donnie Yen will play Green Dragon, while Vicki Zhao someone the former runs into while he is on the run.

Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol

Anyone who has already watched Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol would have notice that Mission Impossible 4 is a little bit different from the previous three Mission Impossible(s). I am not sure why there are many critics on Tom Cruise acting, but to me, he is ok. I mean, I know a lot of times, they are saying that Mission Impossible is like talking about himself, but I really beg to differ. Mission Impossible is not really about Tom Cruise alone, I mean he is the leader, he do most of the dangerous work, but behind him is a group of capable secret agents who can support him in all the missions. Anyway, back to Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol. The story started with a chase on a roof in one of a building in Budapest and the agent look so cool when he jumped down and look upwards to shoot the chasers.....but however, was later assassinated by a female assassin. Then we have Ethan Hunt break a prison from Russia with the help of IMF agents and proceed to accept a mission to infi

The Euro 2024 quarter-final clash between England and Switzerland promises to be an exhilarating encounter as both teams vie for a spot in the semi-finals.  Team News and Key Players: England:  England comes into this match with a full squad available after Jude Bellingham was cleared to play despite his recent controversy. Bellingham, who has been pivotal for England with two goals in the tournament, will be a key player to watch. His late equaliser against Slovakia showcased his ability to deliver under pressure.
