My Movie Reviews

 

My 5 cents worth of movie reviews

 

One of my burning passions is movies.  Singapore is a heaven for the movie fanatic.  Everywhere, within walking distance, there will be a cinema with all posh, comfortable seats and the state-of-the-art sound system (THX, etc etc, and the list goes on...) For other cinemas which failed miserably on either or both of the above mentioned criteria (I mean the first generation cinemas), their movies offerings to the older and more deprived male community in Singapore had been a worthy effort, well deserving commendation from the ministry.

My friend who is a movie fanatic like I do, once make this remark that  Movies is like a religion.  However unlike other religions which allows questioning, movies belongs the the most staunch and faithful.  Upon entering the "church" premises( the cinema), when the light dimmed and the screen brighten, there is only devotion to what is in front.  Nobody speak nobody question... sound like a religion isn't it?

Hopefully I will have the time to write some movie reviews about the movies I watch and of course the comments from my movie "kaki"s.  However if you would like to express yourself and find them making a website to do so is too ridiculously stupid, please do not hesitate to send me your maybe 5 cents worth of reviews.

As a freelance movie "critic", I am just sharing my own views with all who bothered to read.  I will not go about saying Fann Wong is a good actress if all she does was the "pitiful puppy look and the classic "sorrowful-look-and-lip-biting-and tear-welling-up" expression.  Of course I had my inherent bias but who doesn't, right?  If my reviews really irritated you so much, there are two solutions, one is to email me or leave something in the guestbook or to seek psychiatric help.  Come on, this is just MY viewpoint but I must say that my view on Fann remains the same.


The Sixth Sense

What the ratings mean:

"A"                   

A sai lah!!        (Which mean worth your last seven bucks to watch it!)

"B"                    

Bua Pai             (Which mean can watch also!)

 "C"    

 Ca Na Sai (Which mean your money is better spent somewhere else, like the pirated VCDs of the movie.)

"D"                    Dua Lao Sai (Which mean even the VCDs is better off as coaster for the pub!) 


American Pie


Eyes Wide Shut
