Movie Review: Overheard《竊聽風雲》

July 29, 2009 Movie Review

My Rating:

This evening I saw the movie premier of Overheard《竊聽風雲》 at Grand Cinema, Elements, West Kowloon, Hong Kong. Not one of the movies from my Must See Movies list.
It stars 劉青雲 (Lau Ching-wan), 古天樂 (Louis Koo), 吳彥祖 (Daniel Wu) and 王敏德 (Michael F. Wong), with the former being one of my favorite actors, which I’ve [...]

Movie Review: Lady Cop & Papa Crook (2009)

January 4, 2009 Movie Review

My Rating:

This evening I saw the movie Lady Cop & Papa Crook (aka《大搜查之女》) at AMC Theater, Pacific Place, Admiralty, Hong Kong. Not one of the movies from my Must See Movies list.
I normally do not watch too many Hong Kong made films, particular ones staring pop singers. Tonight it was different, it is a holiday [...]

影評: 大搜查之女

January 4, 2009 Movie Review

My Rating:

睇完套戲，有很多似曾相識的感覺…「Sex and the City」加「証人」混合版？我覺得「大」這套戲的題材同「証人」差不多，都係講綁架，可能睇咗「証人」無幾耐啦，同埋我實在睇咗好多次Sex and the City啦。「大」戲中4個女人的開場戲和戲中鄭秀文男友係藝術家醉心創作藝術品這部份實在勾起我腦海浮現Sex and the City部份類同的片段，所以有這樣的感覺…！
「大」戲故事雖然簡單，你我都會估到故事結局，但故事的轉折點係幾吸引，亦有意外的幽默情節，確實有它特別之處，都值得買飛入場睇。

Movie Review: Vantage Point

February 22, 2008 Movie Review

My Rating:

This evening I saw the movie “Vantage Point” at Broadway Theater, Cyberport, Hong Kong.
It was a movie with a very different approach. The director attempted to show several different points of view by replaying 30 minutes of the story over and over; 8 times in all. Each time he reviews a bit more of [...]

This evening I saw the movie “The Bourne Ultimatum” at UA Cinema, Time Square, Causeway Bay.
This is now the sixth movie in the row that I was very happy to give my 4 Penguins or above rating. Hopefully sign of even better movies to come. Although, the Summer blockbusters are almost ending.
I was a [...]

My Rating:

This evening I saw the movie “Live Free or Die Hard” at UA Cinema, Time Square, Causeway Bay.
One simple word, WOW!!
If the plot of this movie was a bit more different than the previous 3 movies in the franchise, I would have easily given it my 5 penguins rating.
The special effects in this movie [...]

Movie Review: Zodiac

June 24, 2007 Movie Review

My Rating:

This evening I saw the movie “Zodiac” at UA Cinema, Time Square, Causeway Bay.
After watching the trailer for this movie I was anticipating a movie of intriguing plot with a difference, but fifteen minutes into the movie I realized my assumption was incorrect. The plot does have the twist and turns of a murder [...]

Movie Review: Ocean’s 13

June 8, 2007 Movie Review

My Rating:

This evening I saw the movie “Ocean’s 13” at UA Time Square, Causeway Bay.
Unfortunately, this is yet another movie that fell into the sequel hole. In my opinion the only one from the series that’s original was the first one “Ocean’s 11“, which was a remake of the 1960 original.
Yes, the clothes on George [...]

Movie Review: Fracture

May 13, 2007 Movie Review

My Rating:

This evening I saw the movie “Fracture” at UA Cinema, Time Square, Causeway Bay.
Another movie staring Anthony Hopkins. He plays a character similar to his “Dr. Hannibal Lecter” character from the Hannibal series. An intelligent, devious and meticulous character.
The similarity of this movie with the Hannibal series is not a coincident. As the screenplay [...]
