東方三俠

It's a movie I have to watch at least once a year.

Note: In this video, you see Anita more (which is totally normal, because it's her MV...she's the one singing the theme song), but they're all three equally important.

Note 2: Michelle is the only one with martial art skills/background. Look at how graceful her moves are.

Lots of mistakes can be found in the movie (due to numerous/countless times I've watched + it's an old one), but still entertaining.

Moreover, if you watch it, I guarantee you'll recognize a shit load of great and now well-known artists. Just to name a few, we have:
    - Anita Mui (so sad she died at such a young age...great actress and singer)
    - Michelle Yeoh (so sad she's now with Jean Todt and don't act as much as before/semi-retire at a young age)
    - Maggie Cheung (well known in the movie 'Hero')
    - Damian Lau (a veteran in the industry)
    - Anthony Wong (well known for practically all his roles)

3 Musketeers

The storyline had been modified to adapt and get a better response on the big screen. But, I have no complaints, since I was thoroughly and highly entertained. It is in fact a wonderful family movie.

The whole cast is just...2 thumbs up (+ my friend's 2 thumbs up...I borrowed hers). Needless to say that Milla is fabulous as always.

Milady - could be one of Milla's breakthrough role. This character is quite different from all her other characters (such as Alice in Resident Evil). Like her name, she's a lady with good manners, BUT still has her tough side when the time comes. Anyway, just like it.

Note: I was going to label this post 'stupid death' when she threw herself from that balloon-ship. Phew!!! She comes back at the end, so she'll be in the sequel. Mwahahahah!!!

萬凰之王

Since the beginning, I took a stand and chose Jessica/鈕祜祿伊蘭/孝全皇后's side.

Generally speaking, I liked the serie, but still have something to complain about:
    - Elena/劉佳馥韻/信太妃 does not have enough screen time. Look, she's not even on the poster.
    - Myolie/佟佳沅宛/孝慎皇后's acting got better, but still yaaaark. Always so childish and 囧.
    - Sunny/愛新覺羅旻寧/道光帝's acting is soo exaggerated. Pfff! Not a surprise.
    - Nancy/博爾濟吉特静瑜's so cheeeeap.
    - Jessica/鈕祜祿伊蘭/孝全皇后's make up is way too heavy for her.

내 생애 마지막 스캔들

THE ultimate proposal.

The man is hansome and has a sweet mouth, the house is beautiful, it all came smoothly, and...anyway, everything is puuuurfect.

It is a little unrealistic (no man on this earth would do that), but still wish to find one for myself. Siiigh!!!! At the meanwhile, the only thing I can do is to be patient and enjoy every moment I have with myself.

劍雨

Last year, when I went to HK, I was suppose to have seen it there, but didn't find the time to. Now, it is a big regret within my heart.

The storyline is not exceptionally special (although there is an interesting twist towards the end), but the love story is heart warming (made me shed tears). I find it cute to rely on faith and destiny.

I would like to highlight the great job done by fight scenes/martial art choreographers, special effects team, costume and makeup (particularly love Michelle's look)...well done!!!

Don't know why the last scene ain't in the compilation. Huh! It prolly means you have to watch the movie if you want to see the final breathtaking battle and see how the relationship ends.

On a final note, I want to point out that the theme song is cute too.

FYI/complaint: Michelle is getting prettier in time and she clearly haven't lost her talent at all. The mystery is...how can Zhang Ziyi win the 'Lancia Elegance and Temperament' Award at Rome, but not Michelle? This is so unfair.

FYI/complaint 2: The cast was somehow well chosen...a combination of HK artists along with Mainland artists. But, why do they have to dubbed Michelle's voice instead of keeping her original voice?

007 - GoldenEye

One of the well-known villains in 007 is Xenia Onatopp (played by Famke Janssen)...reputed to be cruel and has no mercy for her opponent. Who can ever believe on the way she's gonna die?

See? How can she possibly get killed by a tree? Impossible.

Siiiigh!!! No matter how incredible you are...(based on the general rule) if you're the evil one, you have to die. It is a classic scipt, but can't there be an exception for once?
