Hellboy II: The Golden Army
When the I watched the first Hellboy (after panicking for 10 minutes when I can’t find “Hellboy” on the list, not knowing it was changed to Super Sapiens thanks to an MP who needs to read more dictionary before opening his mouth), the first thing I thought when the Big Red appeared was: “That was…

Hancock
First, you have a movie that has the title that sounds too much like a porn movie. In fact, a gay porn I might add. Then, add that to the fact that there’s no actual villain in this movie, except for some small fry villain. Even the “boss” is not much of a villain, compared…

Wanted
Before I made this review, I had to catch up with both of Timur Bekmambetov‘s previous movies, Night Watch and Day Watch, so called The Matrix of Russia (specifically, Kazakhstan, home of the infamous Borat). The reason is, those 2 movies are his ticket to direct in Hollywood. And did it work out? To me…

Knight Rider 2008
I don’t know about you, but suddenly I feel older when all those cool stuff we watch on the idiot box when we were a child, is coming back at us, bigger, and (sometimes) better! About a couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon Knight Rider‘s new telemovie site, and got excited. Of course, seeing…

Speed Racer
Over the years, we have seen live action animation (Polar Express, Beowulf), live action against full digital background (Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow, and 300), and live action comic (Sin City). This has been made possible by visual geniuses, and of course, technological advance. Now, by the same person who introduced Bullet Time…

Ironman
This is a cool movie. And when the movie says that it’s an Ironman movie, the focus is 100% on Ironman. No side story about some grey villain, or sad relatives. Nothing but Tony Stark, the millionaire turn superhero, whose ego sometimes seems to surpass his righteousness. Kind of the opposite of Bruce Wayne, I…

Shoot 'Em Up
I know, that I’m late, but I really need to write about this. I really enjoyed this movie! Surely, it has the most honest title, and 80% of the movie is a shooting scene, not many movie can make it this enjoyable. But that’s just on the surface, wait until you hear the dialogues. From…

CJ7
I guess you’ve heard the disappointments of Stephen Chow’s fan after watching this movie. They said it’s not as funny like his other movie, or not as good. Some even said that Chow’s acting was not up to par, that the boy character (she’s a girl, actually, so I’m a bit confused which gender I…

Cuci
It’s kind of funny watching Cuci and knowing for a fact that it’s not directed by Afdlin Shauki, because it look and feels like Afdlin’s! I guess that Hans has been influenced heavily by Afdlin’s directing skills, and in some part, better. In a nutshell, Cuci is about 4 best of friends opening their own…

Cloverfield
If you’ve watched King Kong (both the old and new ones), Godzilla (both the original and the American version), or even Ultraman (any of the Ultramen), you’re brought into their world via the protagonist, who’s always near the monsters. The story is always about how they’re fighting against the monster, but nowadays, it’s all about…
