Box Office
How To Train Your Dragon ruled the box office last weekend!
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/How-to-Train-Your-Dragon-apf-1131908492.html?x=0&.v=1
However, Clash of the Titans might end Dragon's run at the top of the box-office... but you'll never know right?
The original movie, saw this on Saturday... the effects are pretty bad by today's standards so cannot wait to see the remake on Thursday... Pavilion anyone?
Sam Worthington in another epic movie...

Dragon
'How To Train Your Dragon' is a Dreamworks release, set in the world of vikings and of course, Dragons, adapted from the book by Cressida Cowell.
There's so many types of dragons in this movie. The central dragon is called the Night Fury, a dark dragon whose main abilities are stealth flight and also highly concentrated fireballs.
The main human character is called Hiccup, a scrawny little kid, who is also the town leader's son.
The island the Vikings live in is constantly under siege by dragons and they'd fly off with the livestock.
During one of the sieges, Hiccup unleashes a weapon he made, which lets loose bolas to snag the dragon mid-flight.
However, when Hiccup manages to track down the dragon, he could not kill. He lets the dragon, the Night Fury, go. Thus a friendship between them begins and Hiccup realizes the dragons are not actually their enemies.
Unfortunately, the other humans on the island still needed to be convinced.It's a fairly decent outing from Dreamworks. Not anywhere near the quality of Pixar's outings though but it made for a good fun watch. The dragons are made into fun and cute creatures and watch out for a very funny performance by one of the village's livestock. :)

It's the macho guys sporting wings week... both Legion and Tooth Fairy has a winged male lead... and the posters are shown side by side at GSC... marketing ploy or just a random coincidence?
Anyway, the two winged movies are on complete opposite of the spectrum. One's a heavy movie filled with religion, prophecy and doom while the other one is filled with comedy and gags.
I saw this movie on Thursday. At GSC Pavilion. It's not exactly groundbreaking but it's a pretty decent outing. Cool angel fight scene and cool wings effect.
The storyline goes like this. God lost faith in mankind and is sending an army of angels to get rid of humans (AKA the legion in the title). The last time God lost faith in mankind, he sent down a massive flood.
However, humanity has a glimmer of hope in the form of an unborn baby. An angel was dispatched to get rid of the baby but he refused to cooperate and sided with the humans. He got them prepared for the coming onslaught.
The movie starred Paul Bettany as the fallen angel Michael, Dennis Quaid, Kate Walsh and Adrienne Palicki as the girl carrying humanity's hope.
It's a little too Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight for me. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. :)
The Rock in a comedy? Is this his second attempt at it after The Game Plan?
Anyways, Dwayne Johnson plays Derek Thompson, a hockey player who's disillusioned enough and cynical enough to go and break kids' spirits and dreams.
So the higher-ups decided to punish him by having him serve as a tooth fairy. That's when the funny bits start...
I have to say that The Rock can do comedy quite well.
It's always nice to see Julie Andrews in a movie. So regal. :)

Last Friday, me and my colleague went to Pavilion to catch The Storm Warriors...
It's the sequel to The Storm Riders, which was shown years ago. It is based on a comic (which has been translated into Malay - Pedang Setiawan)...
This time around, evil Lord Godless has taken over China. Cloud (Aaron Kwok) and Wind (Ekin Cheng) are not strong enough to fight him. So they went to seek more power. One decided to go evil for a power upgrade while the other did it the hard way, with the help of a martial arts master.
Of course the heroes would defeat the bad guy... but then, who's gonna stop the good-guy-turned-evil? Looks like it's gonna be a battle to the death between the two heroes...
I enjoyed watching The Storm Riders. Technically, The Storm Warriors is the better film. It obviously has a bigger budget because the film looks fantastic. The effects are great and there are even sequences that are reminiscent of 300. For a minute, I thought I was in Sparta, not China... very stylized...
But that's all there is to it I guess. I did enjoy watching the movie but something's missing. Maybe it's the fact that the main villain is disposed of half way through the movie? Maybe it's because the heroes' upgrades are too easy? Maybe it's because the female characters are not substantial enough? Anyway, now I know why Cloud's sword has a hole near the hilt... :)
On Saturday, I went to see Jump at Pavilion. It's a Chinese movie directed by Stephen Fung (Gen-X Cops) and is backed by Stephen Chow (Shaolin Soccer).
It stars Kitty Zhang as a village girl going to the city to follow her dreams of becoming a dancer. She and her friends got a chance to go to the city to work in a factory, while she moonlights as a cleaning lady in a dance studio. But of course, it's not that easy for her because the city folk all look down on her because she's a cleaning lady and from the village...
The movie's nice enough but there's something wrong with the dubbing. It doesn't seem to tally throughout the movie. It appears that the actors are not actually speaking the lines properly...
And, just for your info, Leon Jay Williams came in to replace Edison Chen in this movie. All of Edison's scenes had to be reshot and edited out. Yup, because of his erotic photos scandal.

And then, on Sunday, I went to Pavilion with a friend to catch The Princess and the Frog, a Disney traditional animation film.
It's nice to see Disney going back to its r oots. Iremember the day when Disney movies were all that and a bag of chips. Remember Aladdin? The Lion King? Beauty and the Beast?
Those were the days... TPATF is a throwback to those times when characters would break into song and dance around and stuff.
TPATF takes place in the French Quarter of New Orleans in the 1920s during the jazz age. The princess (Anika Noni Rose of The Dreamgirls fame) kisses the frog but instead of him becoming a prince like in the fairy tale, she becomes a frog! To get changed back they have to go through bayou country to find Mama Odie, a good voodoo priestess. They are, of course, guided by a firefly and an alligator who plays jazz.
This movie is a lot of fun. Nice enough to take the kids, although there are some creepy parts in it... but still, pretty entertaining... :)

Yesterday, I went to Times Square (and braved the KL jam) to catch Zombieland... which was good, according to the ticket guy at GSC...
And he was right... it was a rockin' good time! They did not really bother explaining the cause of the zombie plague... the movie just dove straight into the story...It was told from the point of view of Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), a nerdy, thin guy who had survived the zombies by sticking to his rules and on his way back to his home town, hoping that his family was still alive.
Along the way, he met Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a crazy guy who loves killing zombies way too much and two sisters (Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin) who is still conning, even after humans are almost extinct. The two girls are heading to Pacific Playland in California, supposedly clear of the zombie threat.
That's basically the story. There's no searching for cure or survivors. Or trying to find someone with the key to ending the zombie menace. Nothing like that at all. Just four people trying to survive and heading to California. And killing zombies getting in the way.
This movie reminded me of a lot of monster movies such as:
Planet Terror,
28 Days Later (and 28 Weeks Later)
and of course, the Resident Evil films...
and definitely not this film...
But more closely resembles Planet Terror than the rest because Planet Terror has a dark comedic influence to it. However, Zombieland is a lot more comedic than Planet Terror.
Overall, it's a fun ride and the actors are quite good. Woody Harrelson has always been a joy to watch, ever since Cheers. Jesse Eisenberg plays nerdy to perfection, as evident in Cursed. Abigail Breslin is of course an Oscar nominee for Little Miss Sunshine. Emma Stone is good as well but I can't for the life of me, think of her other movies. She looks like Mila Kunis though, in Max Payne.Anyway, Zombieland is a good movie to watch to relax, unwind and laugh... on a side note, the censorship is not too bad with this movie... sometimes, a couple of 'F' words go through... :)
Tonite... watching The Storm Warriors at Pavilion...
