About A GOOD YEAR

Max Skinner (Russell Crowe), a notoriously cocky, selfish and greedy bastard of a London bond trader, reluctantly returns to the rustic French vineyard of his youth, which he suddenly inherits upon the death of his estrangled uncle (Albert Finney). As befits his heartless reputation, Max intends to put his past behind him and sell the vineyard as quickly as possible. However, upon arriving at the charming French retreat, his fond childhood memories with his uncle flourish, and he is unexpectedly enchanted by the place itself and an intriguing and beautiful Frenchwoman he meet shortly after his arrival. Disarmed by the joys of an existence so opposite from the life he wound up leading in London, Max re-discovers a part of him and exuberance for life and love that had been lost since childhood. Exuding a newfound calm and certainty of purpose, he settles into what ultimately becomes an intoxicating new chapter in his life... and a very good year.

INFO ON DEATH NOTE MOVIE

SYNOPSIS

Shinigami, the God of Death, dropped a notebook in the human world where a weary genius picked it up. “The human whose name is written in this note shall die”, it said. This was the notebook of death that determined people’s death.

Light Yagami, an extremely bright elite university student was the one to possess this ultimate tool that should remain only in the hands of God. Light decides to create an ideal world and begins to hold the scales to judge the criminals in his discretion.

Meanwhile, ICPO (International Criminal Police Organization) has placed a mysterious detective called “L” in the Japanese police force to investigate the series of criminal dying suddenly. “L”, having solved many unresolved cases in the world, begins to tighten the investigative screws over these cases. But Light cleverly manipulates the notebook of death to toss and shake off the investigation. The future of mankind is at the mercy of this crucial and fierce battle of the two brains.

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM (2006)

Good-Hearted dreamer Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), despite being perpetually down on his luck, thinks he's destined for something big. But even he could never have imagined how "big" when he accepts what appears to be a menial job as a graveyard-shift security guard at a museum of natural history. During Larry's watch, extraordinary things begin to occur: Mayans, Roman Gladiators, and cowboys emerge from their diorama to wage epic battles; in his quest for fire, a Neanderthal burns down his own display; Attila the Hun pillages his neighboring exhibits, and a T-Rex reminds everyone why he's history's fiercest predator. Amidst the chaos, the only person Larry can turn to for advice is a wax figure of President Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), who helps our hero harness the bedlam, stop a nefarious plot, and save the museum.

It has been quite a while since we last saw any monster movie produced by the Asian. It is for this reason that THE HOST stands out in its marketing campaign, drawing the curiosity of audience when its trailers shown an estimated 15-foot long creepy crawler on the loose in a busy park filled with panicky looking human being.

In a nutshell, the movie surrounds a family's desperate attempt to rescue its youngest member from the hands of this mutated creature. However, while hunting down the creature inside the complicated sewerage system along the Han River, the mutant is not the only threat the family has to face. Ironically and amusingly, the human military and medical personnel stubbornly believe that the family is infected with a deadly "virus" and they have to be immediately arrested and quarantined.

As in any monster movie, expect aplenty nerve-wrecking chasing sequences and gunfire. However, what could be lacking in this movie is the moral behind the whole issue. It touches on almost everything from environmental, politics, and family relations. Unfortunately, to squeeze so many complicated themes into a 2-hours movie could be daunting. As a result, the many appealing and possibly thoughts-provoking issues were merely scratched on the surface, leaving a finale that is not as touching as earlier expected.

Pardon for being sadistic here, but aren't any monster movie fans keen to see more blood-splatters and higher body count? Here, the death toll is considered, in monster movie standards, conservative. Finally, the fans may not be happy that the creature has been dispatch way too quickly and too "un-brainy" in the finale.

Nevertheless, the many plot holes and dissatisfaction could be well compensated by the filmmaker sincerity in giving audience the next best thing after Hollywood's Alien. The effect works by San Francisco based, The Orphanage was realistic enough to make your heart racing. Yes, it is not entirely flawless, and the creature looks like a larger version of that hellhound in the movie, Hellboy. But it is still refreshingly enjoyable and menacing enough to leave an impression.

Movie Rating: 4/5 Stars

SINGAPORE DREAMING (2006) MOVIE REVIEW

Click HERE to visit the official website

Almost a decade after Jack Neo's "Money Not Enough", I am dumbfounded, or rather, disappointed that our local Filmmakers still stick to themes like "Toto Citizen", "Paper Chase", "5Cs", and "Chinese Funeral". Where our Government strives to be World No 1 in almost everything, they seem to have forgotten about doing the same for our film's industry. Or is it that we lack ideas, rather than "Money Not Enough"?

Singapore Dreaming, though may have earned the applause from local critics, does not impress me anymore. Just when I thought we have make a breakthrough with The Maid (Kudo to Kelvin Tong!), Singapore Dreaming is so typical, so predictable and again putting Singaporean to shame.

We urinate in our lifts. We tell our children that they would end up a road sweeper if they do not score 100 points in their tests. We are trying to act that we already "make it" by taking loan to purchase cars, and condos. We ill-treat the maid. Selling insurance is the worst occupation. Our language abilities are mixed bag!

The best (or rather worst!) part is that, we laugh at all these. The audience (mostly Singaporean) thought it is funny but don't we realise that over so many years, we are still not evolving into something different? I have de javu while watching it because it looks like those old days TCS drama, which my old mother faithfully follows every night. If there is anything to learn from the movie, it only tells me that our behaviour is not any different a decade ago, as a result, so are our movies.

Probably the only saving grace in this film is its casts, in particularly the veteran leads like Richard Low and Alice Lim. Their comic-timing are excellent and the most commendable aspect of the two is that they are equally capable pulling off moving scenes. Overall, I believe that our local actors and actresses could take on more sophisticated and challenging roles when called for. Unfortunately, the protagonists alone do not make a movie. Perhaps, it is time our Filmmakers wake up from their Singapore dreams and try something else.

Movie Rating: 2.5/5 Stars
