April Movie Reviews

The Unborn

Horror: ☺☺☺
Storyline: ☺☺☺
Overall: ☺☺☺

An unborn child wants to be born now. The poster shows the ghostly child in the mirror - but that is not the main villain in the story.

I'll leave the details out. Let just say its more of a movie like "Possessed" . You'll see interesting "Silent Hill-like" creatures at the near-end part of the movie.

Wanted to grade the Horror with only ☺☺, but my junior colleague jumped a few times in the theatre - so had to believe more into its horror rating.

Knowing

Mystery: ☺☺
Action: ☺☺☺
Storyline: ☺☺
Overall: ☺☺

Disappointingly repetitive kind of plot. Aliens and aliens saved the planet Earth again and again. From "The Day The Earth Stood Still", "War of the Worlds" and now this "Knowing". Is it like a premonition of something that will be happening to Earth soon?

Well, at least we know that Solar Flare could destroy the Earth if the spill span is far enough to reach Earth.

but what is with the Alien's flashlight mouth and all the X-Men superhuman abilities yet again?

Fast and the Furious 4

Action: ☺☺☺☺
Storyline: ☺☺☺☺
Overall: ☺☺☺☺

Due to the economic recession, the cars have lesser stock, so there are lesser cars in this movie? It's okay. Taking your breath away at the start with very tense truck-robbing scene is a kicker. The storyline focused on the 2 characters very clearly - their purposes and their targets and you can see yourself following them through the show.

Lesser cars and no focus on car-babes in this F&F 4 but I feel that its still April's best catch.

Handsome Suit (Japanese)

Romance: ☺☺
Humor: ☺☺
Storyline: ☺☺☺
Overall: ☺☺☺

Personal opinion only. The ratings are not high due to the fact that the show is telling people to pay attention to someone's inner beauty and character instead of looks.

As such, supposed Japan is a leading country with people having a very keen sense for fashion and appearance, perhaps the show is reminding them what is the right thing to look for - for a partner or a friend.

So this movie may not be for foreign audiences.

But the guy is really not handsome enough to be convincing.

The Sniper

Action: ☺☺☺
Storyline: ☺☺☺☺
Overall: ☺☺☺

My rating is not based on Edison Chen's past nude photo scandals. He is one of the main character in the story, and the only one alive in the end. The story is based on the other 2 guys in the poster.

Vengeance and Karma kind of plot you could say. Watching this, felt some similarities to our working society.

Envy became jealousy.
Friends became Enemies.

And I love those sniper guns.

X Men Origins: Wolverine

Action: ☺☺☺
Storyline: ☺☺☺☺
Overall: ☺☺☺☺

The story took place 15 years before "X-Men" movie - before Wolverine's claws were made with indestructible steel, there were mere bones.

I have to say I have a tendency to be biased with X-Men series movies. The whole story is well-rounded and the characters are so well designed, along with Transformers, Spiderman, Batman, etc - As long as its not story copied from Japanese Animations, they make a freaking mess out of it.

This is about Wolverine and another claw-welding man, suspecting its Sabre-tooth but doubting it is. Cyclops is just a kid, Professor Xavier appears at the end, Gambit has a very minimum appearance in the movie and there aren't many mutants with unique powers in this film.
