Twilight Movie Review Rating 4/5 stars.

Caught this movie last year, but this film, Twilight is such a gripping film that it still lingers in our mind. Especially towards the younger generation like teenagers like us. Robert Pattinson has never failed to amazed me with his infallible character as a vampire in the movie. In the movie, he fell in love with a girl named Bella, who is played by Kristen Steward. After knowing Edward for quite some time, he finally showed his true self to Bella, although it's hard for Bella to accept the fact, that her love one is not a human, but she find it rather fascinating and slowly, she accepted the fact, because her love for him is as deep as the deep blue sea.

After meeting Edward's family, she had this realisation that she have to sacrifice her life to be with Edward. Although she is confused, she still continued loving him flawlessly. It follow the mould of the new film, which is New Moon, because Bella is very confused whether she wants to change to a Vampire, or remain as a human. And also the same love.

I think this movie is a great hit, and attracted a profusion amount of people and i think this is a love story that touched people's heart.

Kung Fu Hustle: A Fighting Spirit *****



As teenagers, some of us likes to fight among ourselves, every fighter wants to win and become the best. Stephen Chow was a begger at the start, he and one of his friend pretended to be the "axe gang" they went around doing a moud of evil things and rob people.

The "axe gang" realised that they were fakes and took them back to their place. There was a GRIPPING moment when they dragged them back to the cage for exacution. Stephen Chow gained REALISATION and managed to escape. The "axe gang" thinks that he would be useful, so they took him as one of their member together with his friend. Stephen Chow has a very powerful kungfu, he can heal himself and recover very fast when he's injured.


There was a conflict between the "axe gang" and a couple, the couple has INFALLIBLE kungfu skills. They were so strong, the "axe gang" had to summon a mental kungfu master that has a maximum level of kung fu. He trained so much which led him to a mental hospital. Even the couples cannot withstand his powers. Stephen Chow couldn't accept it, so he went around killing a MOULD of "axe gang" members. He became a master of kungfu after he recover from his coma because he unleashes his power because of the injury done by the mental kungfu master. Stephen Chow fought with the master till the very end and he use a skill called "RU LAI SHEN ZHANG" and defeated the mental master. There was a PROFUSION of injury suffered by the mental master. In the end, the metal master bow to Stephen Chow as a Undefeatable Kungfu Master.


Me and Tian Li personally thinks that this movie is awesome, the fighting parts were interesting. Although its in chinese, but we hope you guys can catch this movie some day. This movie was released on 2005.

THE KARATE KID: An inspiration ***

A few days back, I have caught a movie called Karate Kid. Jaden Smith played a role as Dre Parker. His father had passed away when he was young. Being a fatherless child was a hard time for him. Now, he lives with his mother who agreed her company to work in China, Beijing. They moved there and struggles to fit in, falling afoul of the local kids who, as expected, used him as a punching bag, deflating his irritating American bravado to zero. Then, he met a local girl who he wanted to impress and a morose handyman,

Mr Han. Jackie Chan played at this role. Dre Parker persuades him to teach him a mould of martial arts, Kungfu. Mr Han is a infallible kungfu master but he does not have any disciple. Dre Parker was taught by him, and he gained realisation.

The bad thing I find that it was a little draggy at the starting but there were gripping scenes at the middle till end. In the competition that Dre Parker participate in, profusion of injury in the semi-finals but still, with his fighting spirit and attitude, as well as Mr Han's motivation, in finals, he managed to win to those local kids that used to bully him when he first came Beijing.

2012: A real phenomenon! ****



The 2012 phenomenon. How would the governments of our planet prepare six billion people for the end of the world?

The 2012 films slated for the release will contain elements similar and in the same mould as The Day After Tomorrow where a global disaster is the result of technology's impact on the environment. The movies may focus on how ocean pollution, carbon saturation and deforestation are part of a greater prophecy, or create the conditions necessary to fulfill it.

2012 is supposed to be the date when our civilization is coming to an end. The realization of billions of people dying, but there are only a few we're instructed to care about. The final quarter of the film, where utterly unnecessary to the disaster elements, is also the best section, finally abandoning generic and plasticine *CGI for situations that feel real and dangerous.

With 2012, as you probably could have guessed from the poster art of tidal waves crashing over the Himalayas, Emmerich is letting go of whatever restraint he night have had before.

In conclusion, i think that this is definitely a gripping and infallible film to watch. This films suit more to the adults as it catches and draw lots of the adults' attention in watching it and is more to a documentary. After watching 2012, there is a profusion of questions about how real the movie was. Since there's profuse I would still recommend my friends to watch.

Inception: Simply A Masterpiece ****


Recently. i went to the cinemas to catch Inception. I was utterly impressed and i feel like watching it all over again.

Let us a take a look at the plot. A group of ambitious individuals headed by the title character, Cobb played by Leonardo Dicaprio enter people's dreams to steal their ideas. Ideas that are capable of making a lot of money. As the story goes, these 'dreamcatchers' are able to enter dreams within dreams. As the level of dreams multiply, the length of the dream increases. Simply put, they can spend upto even 80 years in their dreams. If you look at it carefully, you will gain the realisation that the plot is in the same mould as old films like the Matrix.
The movie's hallmark(most interesting feature) is the director's vision. Christopher Nolan is one of the few directors, who has the gift of consistently making great movies. He has been able produce a profusion of blockbusters lately. Many directors get lucky for one film and fail to duplicate their success. For Inception, Nolan skilfully engages his audience as he builds up the story with gripping scenes to engage you through the very end while injecting action scenes and visual effects to excite you.

In addition, an international cast adds strength to the infallible storyline. Japanese actor Ken Watanabe is convincing in his portrayal of Saito, a corporate executive, who attempts to destroy his rival competitors in business.


In overall, i feel that, this is the most unique movie to come around since the Matrix but with better acting and direction. With all the sequels and remakes, this is a fresh movie not to be missed.
