倫敦達人 The Explorer

This movie is better be smashing or funnier.  I don't expect to feel disappointed after I come out of the movie theatre in August.  A lot of explosions and weapons and fighting scenes <- I hope to give it a 10 out of 10!!

謝謝彭凱導演，我已經好久沒有看這麼好流暢又熱血的台灣電影了。電影的劇情簡單明瞭、深具台灣特色（尤其是那種父子鬥嘴的場面）、充滿怒濤澎湃激昂的鼓聲，看完直想買DVD回家收藏。阿西飾演的父親角色與科有倫飾演的陣頭團長角色的多場衝突戲分非常的出色，看廖俊與阿西的鬥嘴場面更是詼諧好笑。那一場戲裡看著梨子帶著四個團員衝出去打鼓的場面更是深深地讓人感動，觀戲的人心跳隨著那鼓聲激動跳躍。我在這裡豎起大拇指說個贊！！！我給十分滿分！

剛看完了曹瑞原的『好遠又好近』，電影結束後有一點失望的感覺。可能是因為李安的飲食男女電影讓我印象深刻、感動。我對曹瑞原的第二集有相當多的期待。我不會浪費口舌重新介紹整部電影的劇情，讀者可以自己進電影院觀賞或者是租DVD回家看。

If a movie cast top British actors like Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson and Maggie Smith, this is bound to tell a good story.  Each one of the actors cast appear in the movie franchises like Daniel Craig's Bond 007 (Judi Dench), Love Actually & Pirates of Caribbean (Bill Nighy), Batman Begins & Mission Impossible 4 (Tom Wilkinson) and Harry Porter's franchise (Maggie Smith).  They are all the best actors you can find today in the British and Hollywood film industry.  I don't think they do this movie for monies, but to take part in this firm to tell auidence a good story.  This movie will last for many decades. 

IMDb only gave it 4.5 out of 10, that's a bit harsh <- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0763831/

I don't usually follow movie teasers for Bond's on YOUTUBE. In saying that, if there is a new Bond movie, my brain has an auto-pilot system that takes me into a movie theatre, sit down and watch it.  This movie going pattern of me is almost as preditable as the Bond's adventure formula <- Bond, 2x Bond girls, bad guys, world domination, nice BMWs, fancy Omega and Judi Dench (as M).  Straight entertainment, no brainer storyline with well written, edgy & funny dialogues, scenes with nudity & explosions, and nicely linked plots & fine editing <- I wouldn't expect anything less.  Would you? 

I'm a skeptic on this upcoming "The Amazing Spider-Man" movie in 2012.  Before I tell you why I'm a skeptic, let me give you a lesson in modern economics here,

This is certainly my MOST anticipated movie of 2012, not Prometheus, not the Avengers, nor Wrath of the Titans.  Christopher Nolan is simply a genius, turning tables, converting the terrible fantasy Batman franchises into solid God.  I'm not saying the Batman movies by Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney were all bad, but movies based on fantasy cities were just not relevant to what we do, see, feel and touch in the everyday life.  

IMDb gave it a rating of 6.1 out of 10 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1646987/) <- I disagree and can only give it 4 out of 10.

11 years after the release of the Lord of the Ring - Fellowship of the Ring, the magic of the Ring continues...

Murphy's Law: How long is one minute? It depends on if you are inside the toilet or outside the toilet.  It suitably describes how I feel, right now, with this most anticipated movie of all time (if you are a Bourne fan, like I'm).  I simply cannot wait patiently till the release date - August 2012.  I so hope that I watch it right now.  The Bourne Legacy , which I got to know, was a book written by Eric Van Lustbader.  It was actually about Bourne and his child from his first wife back at the war.  His child also became an assisian and returned to the States, trying to kill Bourne.  It was actually a very nice read and turning out to be the only readable novel (in my view) written by Eric Van Lustbader.  To be very honest, the rest of Eric's instalment (such as the Bourne Deception & the Bourne Sanction) are BORING and load of CRAP.  I figured that the Bourne Legacy movie will run a total different direction from Eric's installation of the Bourne novel, please correct me if I'm wrong.

IMDb gave this movie 6.7 out of 10. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1656190/ (I'm not so sure.)

I FINALLY watched the movie in 3D yesterday.  It cost me £15 and it was definitely worth the money.  It was released on 26 April and by the time I watched it - there were only 3 cinemas left in London that still offer 2D/3D experience.  It took me about 4 weeks to get an approval from my wife to watch this big boy's movie - there was certainly no romance in this movie - it's not exactly Sex-and-the-City type of films.  My wife didn't go with me and fortunately and gratfully, a friend of mine, Tim, agreed to go along with me.  We had a very good time laughing following the plots and from the well written dialogues between the characters.

I'm a big fan of adventure, spy and special warfare movies.  I watched this movie with great curiosity as they highlighted that the actors are actual Navy Seals (real life heros) and the scenes are full with real line of fire.  The movie didn't let me down at all, as-a-matter-of-factly, I think this movie out-run Charlie Sheen's Navy Seals movie by thousands of miles!! 

I haven't watched a decent movie for a while.  I'm not saying the last movies I watched were crap but this one is definitely decent. Setting is in South Afraica which is a bit fresh, if you are not yet sick of the great european scens - Bourne, Bond and many others.  Story line flows reasonably nicely and there are car chases, explosions, and many scenes you would expect from a spy movie. 

這是一部真實故事改編的電影，故事的男主角是一位從小遭母親放棄的黑人小孩。主人翁在讀中學的時候，男主角唯一的晚餐就是撿學生及家長遺留在球場座椅上的爆米花及可樂。可憐的男主角唯一能過夜的地方就是營業二十四小時的自助洗衣店或學校的室內球場，因為自助洗衣店和球場有暖氣。他身上的家當就是身上的短袖襯衫和七分褲。故事就發生在男主角與珊卓．布菈克（飾演的女主角）之間的互動關係。女主角同情他的遭遇、義無反顧地收留他、培養他、栽培他成為全國知名的美式橄欖球選手！

阿凡達的星球真的很美。整個故事有點像凱文．科斯納的『與狼共舞』宇宙版。很多部落格在介紹這部電影的內容，在這裡就不多作說明了。

據說，看完這部小說後，讀者會睡不著覺。

 看完這部電影後，感受就是『無極的荒謬』。

 這絕對是今年最好看的一部喜劇兼劇情片。喬治克魯尼飾演的男主角是一位專門作勵志演講的演說家，沒有演講的時候，就全美國到處飛，替膽小的公司主管開除員工。尤其在這麼不景氣的全球金融風暴，男主角的工作更是應接不暇。片子裡有很多男主角開除員工，員工哭哭啼啼的樣子，著實讓人感到金融風暴的無奈，影片中甚至有一位被開除的女員工跳河自殺。
