Friday The 13th

Rate 4.5 out of 5


From Yahoo! Movies

Searching for his missing sister, Clay Miller heads up to the eerie woods of legendary Crystal Lake, where he stumbles on the creaky remains of rotting old cabins behind moss-covered trees. And that's not the only thing lying in wait under the brush. Against the advice of police and cautions from the locals, Clay pursues what few leads he has in the search for his missing sister, Whitney, with the help of Jenna, a young woman he meets among a group of college kids up for an all-thrills weekend. But they are all about to find much more than they bargained for. Little do they know, they've entered the domain of one of the most terrifying specters in American film history -- the infamous killer who haunts Crystal Lake, armed with a razor-sharp machete... Jason Voorhees.

Personally, i enjoyed the movie a lot
although i nvr watched previous Friday 13th...
I know this is the thirteen edition of Friday 13th...
I thought is just a crappy horror movie that will disappoint me as usual...
However, i'm surprised i turns out better than i expected...
or i shall say i nvr have any expectation on this movie.

Worth spending RM11 for this movie.
Thumbs up!!!!

The Shinjuku Incident

Rate: 3.5 out of 5


In the early 1990's, a tractor mechanic from China nicknamed Steelhead illegally enters Japan to search for his girlfriend. To make ends meet, he joins his friend in Shinjuku in doing menial labour. Steelhead finds out that his girlfriend has married Eguchi, a Japanese Yakuza leader. Steelhead decides to stay on in Japan and work for Eguchi as a hitman. Soon, Steelhead gets used to the power and finds himself embroiled so deeply in the ways of the underworld that there is no turning back.

Personally, i think this movie still acceptable to watch...really painful story, a band of common people leave their home country for money and become criminals. At first, they are pitiful, at the end they are wicked.

I dunno why I got a bad feedback from my colleagues asking me not to go watch...However, my mum wanted to watch this movie. Luckily, nvr wasted my 2 hrs... and RM20 movie tix for 2 pax.

Fast & Furious 4

Rate: 4 out of 5 (cause I still love cars)

From Yahoo! Movies

When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto reignites his feud with agent Brian O'Conner. But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmanuever him. And from convoy heists to precision tunnel crawls across international lines, two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what's possible behind the wheel.

This was a okay movie to me! Full of action and kept my interest the whole time. However, I was disappointed that there weren't more cars and racing involved. Most of what I loved about the first two were the amazing cars, which weren't a huge part to this one.
