David Fincher makes cool movies for modern sophisticated (code for bitches) people. ( Read more... )

I went to Toronto yesterday, watched 2/3 of The Theory of Everything, then caught a glimpse of Channing Tatum.

I was on the Go Train while checking Twitter. Five minutes before he attended the press conference for Foxcather (video), Channing tweeted a 22 Jump Street DVD promo video. It kept me entertained during my one-hour trip to Union Station ( Read more... )

I finally watched 22 Jump Street. It is even more enjoyable than 21 Jump Street. Channing and Jonah have great chemistry. They are the soul of the movie. Both characters are very likable, and you just want to see them working together. Even I don't like Jonah Hill as a celebrity, I like seeing his Schmidt pining for Jenko ;p The only problem I have ( Read more... )

I went to see 300: The Rise of An Empire. I liked most of it. Visually it looked very effective in 3D. The battles on the sea were one of the best. Eva Green was deliciously evil. I think the movie's target audience will appreciate the gratuitous shots of Eva's glorious boobs. Also there was this very kinky kiss scene (I won't spoil you) and an ( Read more... )

Last night, Channing posted this photo letting people know he has started working on Magic Mike 2 now. His fappy days will soon be put on hold ;p In less than one day, the photo got 166k LIKES on Instagram, and 300k LIKES on Facebook. Pretty Good! rvchel2012 reminded me the poster on the wall was Steven Soderbergh's The Girldfreind Experience.

The show was first aired in 2005. So that's almost nine years ago. Visually, the CG looks a bit dated, but not unbearable comparing to some British shows from the same period. The action scenes are budget. In fact, there are not many elaborate choreographed moves. It seems to me that Rome the show is less a fantasy than I thought it could be. After ( Read more... )

I went to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug last night. It was way too long as usual. It started slow, but I enjoyed the part in Mirkwood and the following exciting barrel chase scenes. In this movie, they shoehorned a love story. I do not dislike it. I am okay that Aidan Turner's Kili and Evangeline Lilly's Tauriel  making googly eyes at ( Read more... )

I went to see Thor 2 on Friday afternoon. Since it was a 2pm showing, there was not many people. I like that, so I could pick the best seat ( Read more... )

I went to see Gravity last night. It is very different from most of the movies that are set in outer space. Visually it is very effective, but not as groundbreaking as Avatar. Sandra Bullock gave a solid performance, and she has a great body for someone who is over 47 (I think she is 49 now, but she was about 47 when she filmed Gravity). Also there ( Read more... )

Last Thursday, I watched The Wind Rises. It is the last animation feature film directed and written by respectable and well-loved Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki ( Read more... )
