Metallic Attraction: Kungfu Cyborg 机器侠 (2009) 7/10

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

还记得当我第一次在戏院里看见这部电影的预告片时,我就对它产生浓厚的兴趣了。可能是受到Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)的影响,我总觉得这是一部中文版的Transformers,充满期待。

电影一开始就出现这样一句引人深思的话题:“上帝创造人,人创造机器人,人可以怀疑上帝,为什么机器人不可以怀疑人?”人渴望得到自由,机器人又何尝不想得到自由呢?说穿了,大家都是为了自由而战。

另一方面,男女主角之间也有一句感动且浪漫的对白。

女主角问:“如果你很爱的这个人,她要你上悬崖为她摘一朵花,可是你知道你会摔死,你会不会去?”

男 主角答:“我不会上悬崖去摘那朵花,因为我要活着,活着是为了在你吃完东西忘记擦嘴的时候,我的眼睛看得见,当你不开心的时候,我的耳朵可以听你发发牢 骚,当你开心时,我的嘴巴可以陪你一起说,当你生病时,我的双腿可以跑去帮你买碗粥,当你冷的时候,我的双臂可以抱紧你。不过,如果有一天当你找到一个男 孩儿,而且你更喜欢他的时候,我就会爬到那个悬崖上面,为你摘那朵花。”

我想,应该没有一位女生听完后能够不为所动的吧?

机器侠 (2009)是一部科幻爱情电影,电影里充满动画。Transformers,Iron Man及僵尸先生的情节都涌现出来。逼真得来又带点搞笑,不错。

Sin Nombre (2009) 8/10

Monday, October 5th, 2009

Sin Nombre (2009)是一部西班牙语的电影,故事背景发生在墨西哥,主要是讲述墨西哥帮会的黑暗和美国非法移民的猖獗。

电影一开始就简介地交待男主角Casper带着一名十岁左右的小孩Smiley入帮,帮主还要求Casper教Smiley开枪杀人。人算不如天算,我万万想不到电影的结局Casper正是死在Smiley的枪下,讽刺极了。

电影的另一边则讲述女主角Sayra跟着父亲想要非法入境美国。一路上有很多非法入境者同行,但真正能成功入境的人却是少之又少。

总的来说,这部电影还蛮讽刺及写实,值得一看。

The Wedding Singer (1998) 8/10

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

The Wedding Singer (1998)是一部蛮浪漫的电影。

剧情说到男主角Robbie和女主角Julia各自将于另一半结婚,可是他们却很犹豫自己是否选对终身伴侣。最后发现,他们彼此才是自己的真命天子。

看完这部电影后,突然有点改变对第三者的看法,开始能接受正当地追求别人的女朋友了。

以下这段I Wanna Grow Old With You的歌,最为感动,浪漫极了。

Cloverfield (2008) 7/10

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

在还没看这部戏之前,我就已经听说这是一部比较震荡型的电影。

原本我并不打算看的,都是因为看了District 9 (2009)之后,才让我想去探讨这类震荡加逼真型电影的精髓。

District 9 (2009)给我的感觉只有一个,那就是晕。幸亏那部电影只是前半段是震荡型的,后半段比较动作型。不然,我可能已经在戏院里呕出来了。

Cloverfield (2008)给我的感觉是逼真,这次我反而不觉得晕。尤其是那个自由女神像的头飞过来那场戏,特别逼真。

另外,女主角Odette Yustman也超漂亮的。之前在看The Unborn (2009)的预告片时就已经注意到她,和Megan Fox有的比。

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) 8/10

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Manny, Sid, Diego and Ellie are back in this third film in the computer-animated “Ice Age” series. With those creatures in starring roles, fans also get another dose of the vocal talents of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, and Queen Latifah, who all return from the previous two outings.

This is a nice comedy for the whole family to watch, it focus more on having a baby in this film. The 3 dinosaur’s babies are cute & funny. Ellie and Manny new born child - Peaches also cute. Baby is way too amazing to us.

As in the previous “Ice Age” series, Scrat does everything he can to retrieve his precious acorn. This time, a female of Scrat’s species - Scratte had introduced. With the present of Scratte, the movie has more funny scenes ever.

Rating: 8/10

Departures (2008) 10/10

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Daigo Kobayashi (Masahiro Motoki) is a devoted cellist in an orchestra that has just been dissolved and now finds him without a job. Daigo decides to move back to his old hometown with his wife to look for work and start over. He answers a classified ad entitled “Departures” thinking it is an advertisement for a travel agency only to discover that the job is actually for a “Nokanshi” or “encoffiner”, a funeral professional who prepares deceased bodies for burial and entry into the next life. While his wife and others despise the job, Daigo takes a certain pride in his work and begins to perfect the art of “Nokanshi,” acting as a gentle gatekeeper between life and death, between the departed and the family of the departed. The film follows his profound and sometimes comical journey with death as he uncovers the wonder, joy and meaning of life and living.

At first, Daigo’s wife and others refuse to accept Daigo’s disgusting profession. After they need an encoffinment service, they finally give their respect and understanding to Daigo. The job is so meaningful but not everybody have the will to do it. I do respect Daigo’s career as an encoffiner.

The movie is very touching, seriously, I can’t stop crying.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) 7/10

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Decepticon forces return to Earth on a mission to take Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) prisoner, after the young hero learns the truth about the ancient origins of the Transformers. Joining the mission to protect humankind is Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen), who forms an alliance with international armies for a second epic battle.

I trying hardly to find out why is the movie having such a low rating in IMDb (6.5/10). The effect of the movie is still awesome, Linken Park’s soundtrack also nice. What could be the problem? I guess is the number of robots.

It is like a mix of robots show, or maybe I should say another “Terminator” show, I only manage to remember Optimus Prime, Megatron, The Fallen, Bumblebee & the twins. Every robot in Autobots and Decepticons are unique. I would rather see some unique skills of certain robots than watching all robots having the same skills which is just some cannon flying around.

Gran Torino (2008) 8/10

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

Disgruntled Korean War vet Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) sets out to reform his neighbor, a young Hmong teenager, who tried to steal Walt’s prized possession: his 1972 Gran Torino.

Walt is way of too cool who didn’t communicate well with his family & neighbors, he just want to be alone all the time. After some time, Walt start to care about his neighbor Sue Lor (Ahney Her), and her brother, Thao Vang Lor (Bee Vang). Later, Walt develops a relationship with Thao, teach him how to become a man.

The way the movie end is just too “man”, very nice & unexpected.
