Man of Steel

Some called it the most anticipated movie of the decade...some are saying that it will be the "most dullest superhero" attempt to get it right this time...in "Man of Steel", with the British actor, Henry Cavill as the latest guy in the red cape and blue pyjamas. 
Man of Steel

Well, we all know how well the last reboot of "Superman returns"....and when I said "well", I mean real bad...grossing a disappointed $200 million domestically (not forgetting the budget was at $270 million). It was widely viewed as a boring and forgettable movie.

 Superman, celebrating his 75th anniversary this year has become more of an icon and flagship character but on the big screen, the superhero fails to connect with the audience like he used to in the 1930s. Probably it is not the superhero that has changed but maybe it was the audience that is no longer the same. 

 He hasn't been so relevant since the 1940s and 1950s....it is probably a bit difficult to understand and relate to a guy from outer space who doesn't have the same problem as ordinary people do. 

 However, let's hope that for some reason, a production of Christopher Nolan and the cast like Henry Cavill will help to revive this superhero....

 Well, this looks like a job for Superman.
The job: Saves Superman!!

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...
