Chinese Zodiac (2012) a.k.a Armour of God 3

The Armour of God 3 of more commonly known as Chinese Zodiac is expected to be the final movie where famous actor/stuntman Jackie Chan will perform all the stunt by himself - and so, going to the movie is sort of like a must for us. After all, I'm so used to his comical acting and stunts from all his Drunken Master series, Police Story series and even the Armour of God series.



Chinese Zodiac is about Asian Hawk, who was requested by an agent to search for the set of mystic artifacts - the 12 bronze heads of the animals from the Chinese zodiac, The movie started off in an auction for the missing artifacts and then it is known to us that selling artifacts seems to be a higly profitable business and the rich businessman intends to search for the remaining bronze heads as each head auctioned at a higher price than the previous one, and he give the extra bounty for Asian Hawk, if he is able to get the Dragon's head as well.



Asian Hawk agrees to the term and heads to get more information on the bronze heads and thus start to "steal" the bronze heads - lotsa funny scene and actions in between gathering the information of the bronze heads of the Chinese zodiac.

Overall, I would say that the movie is good, in the sense that there are many funny scenes and action scenes, although some part of the actions I would think not necessary, but then again, I'm sure that Jackie Chan is trying to promote other stars as well as sharing the scene time with them, thus including those actions. If you watch the movie, then you will know what I mean.

Lindsay Lohan's younger days photos

Lately, I have been following some of the celebrity news and Lohan is one of them....given the rehab swap that is on the news.  But really, what turns an innocent young child into such a troubled life (so to say). I am not sure what happen along the way but looking back at the old photos, you just somehow have the belief and hope of her coming out strong again. We are definitely not going to have the young, innocent Lindsay Lohan again but at least we're hoping for her recovery in the rehab center.

[Review] Taken 3

Ex-government operative Bryan Mills starting to show his age in this third installment of the Taken series - I can swear that I heard his panting almost every breath taking scene, which makes the acting by Liam Neeson real. In this series, Bryan Mills is hoping to reconcile with his ex-wife, Lenore St. John who is said to be not happy with her current husband. The reconciliation however cut short when she was brutally murdered. Bryan Mills was frame for the murder of Lenore and consumed with rage, he go on hiding to evade the CIA, FBI and the police and he intended to track down the murderer on his own with his skills. It doesn't take long before he realized that the murderer is from the group of Russians, which then leads him to his ex-wife husband - and he interrogates him until he told how he was forced to cooperate with the Russians which might target Bryan's daughter, Kim. So, in order to protect his daughter while he revenge, he gets help from his friends to bri...

Superman’ Review: A Charming but Chaotic Attempt to Restart the DCU with Heart — and a Lot of Noise

  James Gunn’s   Superman   had one job — to kickstart a brand-new DC Universe with clarity, confidence, and purpose. What we got instead is a quirky, overstuffed spectacle that bounces between heartfelt sincerity and Saturday morning cartoon mayhem, never quite settling into a rhythm strong enough to lift this hero off the ground. On paper, it all sounds promising:   Superman   skips the tired origin story and dives straight into Clark Kent’s third year as Earth’s protector. David Corenswet brings a sincere, wide-eyed charm to the role — equal parts Boy Scout and alien outcast — while Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane is, without a doubt, the best we’ve ever seen on screen. Their chemistry crackles, especially in the film’s most grounded scene: a sharp interview that pits Lois’ hard-nosed journalism against Superman’s unwavering optimism. In that moment, you can almost feel the movie it   could   have been — thoughtful, conflicted, real. Unfortunately, tho...
