The Job

another dark-comedy film, it tells about jobs, odd-jobs, the ugly look of not having a stable job, the dangers of out sourcing (sub-contract) and how money (big money) can be a motivating factor to do job you are not capable or not use to doing it.

twist and turns are fantastic, very unpredictable..

The A-TEAM 2010 Movie Version

I know the famous character with a distinct haircut..and his afraid of riding helicopters at least inside it, his name is MR. T... that is what I heard as could not read yet when this popular TV series hit the box.

When I watched the latest movie adaptation, I easily recognized the quad characters, especially Baracus, (MR. T back then). It was actually at the ending credits when I heard ending voice over, and all memories shot back in..It's the A-team (we distinctly pronounce it as "itim" - the word I heard every time we watch it back then).

Very entertaining movie, action pack! very lively...

The Kung Fu Kid (aka the Karate Kid remake)

Everyone is complaining on the title of this project when it was first announced that this is the remake of the classic film Karate Kid (Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita, Elisabeth Shue.) Will everybody should be because this not a film about Karate its actually Kung fu.

This is a remake? hardly, the premise is there.. young kid, bullied and unlikely master came to rescue, but that's it. This film is short of reviving the craze of the old movie, the iconic labor training (or training muscle memory by doing chores with repetitive movements usually counter clock wise to clockwise hand movements) the wax on wax out, the painting and polishing and the famous "crane kick" finale..If they intend to remake the movie they should have stick to it rather making a kung-fu counterpart. It turns out that they only capitalize on the old film and marketed this lame movie on its proven name/title.

The young smith's acting fell short also. If not for the scenic backdrop of China and the presence of Jacky Chan, I will rate this movie lower and add a "remake fail" slogan to it..
