Legend of the Fist!
Sep 2nd
I just found out a couple of days ago, that Donnie Yen♥ is starring in another new movie, that is going to debut on the 23rd of September!!! (Omg just realised its ONE day before my Birthday! :P) HEHE. Its non other than Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen,
精武風雲－陳真!
It was only in year 2009, when I caught the movie ‘Bodyguards and Assassins’ that I got to know of his (Donnie Yen) existence! (I still remember I blogged about this movie last year!, about how good it was!) I know I know, pathetic I know. It was because I didn’t catch the awesome movie ‘Ip Man’ in 2008! :( I’m a tad slow. I think its alright, because I started appreciating his movies since then! :)) He’s totally admirable!
& then in 2010, it was Ip Man 2! Another biggest box office hit! HEHE. Can’t stop raving how awesome he is!! & I really really love the movie!! I love Donnie Yen!! After catching this movie, I’ll never want to miss any movies starring Donnie Yen! Heeee. =))
I’m sure many of you are probably like me, but I think its never too late to start liking him! I think he’s really good as an actor and he fights really well!! :D
I’m a lazy bum who never bothers doing research on movies; but knowing that he has this upcoming movie, I went to wikipedia a little, and found the whole list of movies he starred in. Amazed, I am, it all started since 1983, and he’s only 47 currently. *WOAHHH* & wiki is so updated that even movies starring Donnie Yen that are showing only in 2011/2012 are already out on the list!
Enough said. Conclusion: I can’t wait for Legend of the Fist! :) I wanna see Donnie Yen! I wanna see him fight!!
Anyway, here’s the synopsis. Its an Andrew Lau film..hoho!
While China is traumatized by military cliques during the World War era in
the 1020s, Shanghai is the cynosure of all eyes. People see it as both Hell’s
Kitchen and Heaven’s Gate/ One of the city’s most memorable heroes has to be
Chen Zhen, who single-handedly avenges his mentor’s death by killing all the
Japanese at a dojo in Hongkou, only to be showered with bullets while making
his legendary flying kick. Vanished from the public eye ever since, he has been
taken dead though his body is never found.
Seven years later, a wealthy entrepreneur called Koo returns from abroad
and makes a grand entrance on the Shanghai social scene by befriending the
notorious mafia boss of the city. This mysterious man is none other than Chen
Zhen in disguise who dwells in a world of nefarious means in order to infiltrate
the criminal empire. He soon discovers a clandestine collusion between the
mafia and the Japanese.
Disguised as a caped crusader at night, Chen sets out to dismantle with his
martial arts skill the evil collusion that plaques the country. One of his foremost
missions is to ferret out the assassination list prepared by the Japanese…

Remember to catch it 23rd September onwards! I’ll be sure to, too!!! :))
& I’ll definitely do a review after I do! Pretty sure it’ll ROCK, because Donnie Yen is also the action director of this film! HEHEHE!
Au Revoir Taipei – Movie Review
Aug 20th
Yesterday was the day I stepped into the theatres after awhile. (Last movie I watched was Sorcerer’s Apprentice!)
I managed to catch the movie I’ve always wanted to, which was Au Revoir Taipei. The reason why I wanted to watch was, firstly because of my extreme-fascination/fetish for Taiwan. Its a country I’ve been wanting to go, to nom-noms at their night market, to shop till I drop. Secondly, the poster was really intriguing, nicely designed, deceiving enough.
You see, nice or not!?!?!? Nice right??
Anyway. The whole duration of the movie was 83 minutes. The whole flick was really slow, so bad that it felt like I had been watching the movie for 2-3 hours already, but in reality, it was only around an hour. It was the first movie (from what I could remember), that I had the urge of leaving the theatres half way. (OH, I remember, the other movie I really left the theatres was ‘PERHAPS LOVE’, it was a musical-like movie, few years back.) But well, I stayed on of course..
I’d give this movie 2/5 stars. My friend said I’m already very generous. HAHA!
At the end of the 83 minutes, I felt like I wasted 83 minutes of my time, and 6 bucks on watching the movie!
I was so jealous of the person who was queuing infront of me at the ticketing booth. They bought tickets for Step up 3. :C :C :C I think any other movies which was showing would be better than this lur!
Okay, this was their funny ending scene..
But well well, this movie was good in the sense it was able to portray some of the highlights of Taipei/Taiwan. Like their food street etc. It’d probably be better as a tourism-related advertisement instead of a movie, except that its too draggy and long.
No matter what, I’d still love Taiwan, and someday in the near future, I hope my dreams will come true. I want to be on the lands of Taiwan for a short trip soon!! :]
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice – Movie Review
Aug 8th
Finally finally, I caught Sorcerer’s Apprentice in the theatres yesterday! And I’m glad I did catch it!
I LOVE THE MOVIE.
I’m not a ‘magical’ (& cartoon) person. I never liked Harry Potter. But I was intrigued by the storyline of this movie, even though it was ‘magically-based’, so to speak, as its about Sorcerers.
I didn’t fall asleep at all. :) *proud*
I especially love it because it had a sweet and happy ending! :DDD~ It makes me smileeee. & The apprentice is sucha hunk! ;)
I’d rate this movie a 4/5*! *There are still many timing slots available in JB and probably the whole of Malaysia, so M’sians, this movie is worth watching! :D*
My favourite characters! :DDDDD
Salt – Movie Review!
Aug 4th
If you have followed me on twitter.. You’d have known I went for a movie preview today! Thanks to HP! :D and Yes, I watched Salt today! ( And if you haven’t, its not too late to follow NAO! :P )
I wouldn’t reveal much about the storyline, else I’d be a spoiler. Since it isn’t even released yet..
But on the overall, I quite like the movie. Except that it probably lacks a climax? And.. I’m pretty sure, uhm, I mean, I’m expecting a Salt II sometime later.. HAHA!
I hope I’m not revealing too much!
Anyway, I’ll rate the movie 3.5/5.
Not forgetting, Angelina Jolie’s HOT STUFFFFFFF!!! (I want 20% of her HOTNESS PLZXZXZX)
SEE FOR YOURSELF! (& her role in the movie just made her more attractive. brainy.!!!! opps I’ll stop for now!)
HOTTTT! :}
Hope you like the moviee like I did too :D
