movies

so i've promised this in my previous post. movie reviews on "Tiger WooHoo" and "Legion".

Tiger WooHoo.



i havta say, the best thing always come to u when u least expect it.

Tiger WooHoo is the first CNY movie produced by all the local Chinese artists (especially Astro stars and MY Fm DJ). it was their first attempt in this new industry, as in CNY movie. but i admit, they did it quite well. much better than my expectation.

frankly speaking, i don't really fancy those HongKong CNY movies like everyone else. u see, they are all regarding Money, Mahjong, Poker and other things. maybe some movies they emphasize on their hilarious scene, act stupid and all. so people pay for the money, go in the cinema, watch the movie, laugh their lungs out, walked out from cinema, cnt remember anything.

yes, that's what i wana say. the movies were funny, yet, there's no emotional impact on the audience u see. what do u learn from Poker? what do u learn from Mahjong? CNY means more than that.

hence, i was surprised by the concept of Tiger WooHoo.

first, they focused on one of the Chinese traditional culture. Tiger dance. don't grumble first, let me finish. im not those kinda person who really really into traditional culture, but this is definitely a new approach in a CNY movie. at least there's some moral value la, preservation of Chinese culture those crap. i don't bother much hehe.

then, the cast. they are the people that i am familiar with. as in Brad Pitt i also familiar, Johnny Depp i also familiar. always see them on the big screen ma. not that kind of familiar i mean. these people, are the people living in Malaysia, our country and they speak the same language with the same accent that u and i have. and that's why i find it funny. we have Penang Hokkien. we have very Malaysian English, BM and Chinese. we have cantonese. we have Hakka as well!

it was really funny, too! they have this gay, which reminds me of SOMEONE. the people are as simple as what u can see anywhere in Malaysia. i love the donation part the most. =)



the story is predictable. it says that everyday is a big day, when ur loved ones is by ur side.

reunion. understanding. compassionate. FAMILY. this is what i feel after watching the whole movie.

I rate it 7/10. they can still have improvements in terms of the script. sometimes it is quite long-winded.

Legion.



wow, im not gonna talk much about this. this is truly, LAME.

spending one and a half hour inside the cinema, being frightened by the sudden appearance of the stupid zombie and sudden massacre in front of the restaurant. but i still don't get the point of the whole movie.

few things i've learnt from this movie:

1. angels have Iron wings
2. our version, angels are good. their version, angels are here to destroy the mankind
3. the angel/Michael has nice body
4. the unknown reason for their overprotective over a baby, that they believe is to rescue the mankind
5. random people being possessed can become a disgusting zombie, with long limbs, can even climb up the ceiling
6. angel vanish into dust when they die, and they can reborn, with the permission from their father
7. tattoo are the directions to survive
   

the movie is completely ridiculous. i don't understand at all. in my humble opinion of course.

i rate it 2/10.

CNY is coming coming coming! YAYYY!
