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...

Zirkzee's Late Heroics Ignite Manchester United's Premier League Campaign with Victory Over Fulham

Manchester United got their Premier League campaign off to a promising start with a dramatic late 1-0 victory over Fulham, thanks to debutant Joshua Zirkzee’s 87th-minute goal. The £36.5 million summer signing from Bologna stepped off the bench to deliver a moment of magic, securing three crucial points for Erik ten Hag’s side in front of a jubilant Old Trafford crowd. The relief was evident as Ten Hag celebrated the winner with both fists clenched, knowing how much the result meant after a challenging preseason. United struggled to convert their chances for most of the match, with Bruno Fernandes deployed as a false nine. Despite the pressure, it was Zirkzee who emerged as the hero, providing a much-needed spark and focal point in attack when introduced in the 61st minute. Ten Hag was quick to praise his new striker, saying, "It’s important for a striker to get off the mark quickly, and Zirkzee did exactly that. The win is satisfying, especially at the start of the season. We’re ...
