Scott Pilgrim vs the World

When I first saw the preview of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World I knew it is a must-see movie of the year. The tagline for the movie is an epic of epic epicness is totally right! I love this movie! Most people didn’t even see the movie and they are totally missing out. I guess I understand why most people can’t seem to get it. It is a movie adaptation of a comic book that take it’s inspiration from video game, it is a genre-bending movie that …

The Second Short Life of Bree Tanner

I must say I quite enjoy this extra book in the Twilight Universe. It certainly add another dimension to Eclipse and show us behind the scene of what’s going on outside of Bella’s point of view!  The most frustrating aspect of the Twilight series (also its strength) is that it was mostly told in Bella’s point of view, She might be sweet and brave but she’s definitely not the smartest person in the world!  Therefore it’s great to not be in her head and see the “world” differently.

The Last Airbender

I have lost faith in M. Night’s ability to make good movie a long time ago. I keep hoping he will prove me wrong by delivering a kick-ass movie. The trailer of the Last Airbender does look awesome, and the fact that this is an adaptation rather than a pure original story makes me feel better about the prospect of this movie. Yet I have to say, I was fooled again! The universe of Last Airbender is fascinating to me. The movie did successfully recreated that …

Eclipse

Eclipse was okay in the sense that it is in line with my expectation. One good thing about the Twilight series as movie is that we can get outside of Bella’s head for once, and it’s most noticeable here on Eclipse where there are far more scenes where Bella isn’t there and we still see what’s going on! From the scenes in Seattle to the Volturi’s observation to Victoria escape from the Cullens and the wolves, these are what make it worth the jump to the cinema. …

Toy Story 3

Toy Story 3 possibly is the best “threequel” in recent year.  It was made with really an independent story in mind, a story about growing up and letting go.  Now that the owner is all grow up and ready for college, what can the toys do? And despite the heavy theme and subject, the movie still carries touch of charm and humor.  Pixar  can really do no wrong here, even in sequels they can raise up the standard so high that i doubt anyone can come close.
I am not going …

Big Bang Doctor

The latest season of Doctor Who was a strong season with a fantastic Doctor, I do have some problems with a particular plot element, but luckily the season finale completely erased my complain by being so cleverly plotted. The first part “Pandorica Opens” is epic and emotional….
