Sherlock Holmes Movie Review

After finally catching serial killer and occult "sorcerer" Lord Blackwood, legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson can close yet another successful case. But when Blackwood mysteriously returns from the grave and resumes his killing spree, Holmes must take up the hunt once again. Contending with his partner's new fiancée and the dimwitted head of Scotland Yard, the dauntless detective must unravel the clues that will lead him into a twisted web of murder, deceit, and black magic - and the deadly embrace of temptress Irene Adler.

As you know, the author, Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous characters, “SHERLOCK HOLMES” sends Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson on their latest challenge. Revealing fighting skills as lethal as his legendary intellect, Holmes will battle as never before to bring down a nemesis and unravel a deadly plot that could destroy the country!

Before 12 midnight on 31 Jan, my family and I decide to watch a long awaited of movie "Sherlock Holmes". :P Since I am teenager, I always to read more stories about her and Dr. John Watson. I really love it! But, it is really different than what I read a novel.

O_o Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson always act as cool, but they also argue each other, like old couple but they are very close in their bond of friendship. That is why they are best friend. Dr. Watson never leave Holmes's side when he worried Holmes will face more dangerous mission...I think that Holmes sure need Dr. Watson's help when he is alone to solve mystery about Dark Magic. Holmes is very weird when he is very thinking so deeply and like to try examine about how magic and science can battled it all out...that is why he try to test himself. He needs to understand what is his enemies' mind.... At least, his brain is still working and the elements of criminologist remain intact...Amazing, his skills are use of astute observation, deductive reasoning!
Sometimes, you are seeing humour, action, mesmerizing dialog from Holmes. :D For example, he always show his humour action and talk jokes with Dr. Watson so, I think that he wants to bully Dr.Watson when he is in good mood. If he is in bad mood, he always act so messy, and love to do weird things.. Holmes is really very intelligence guy who think his action 1st before he does..but, he is really fast when he wants to find the answer so quickly! So, he is very risk taker.

Wow, many people wear black during twentieth centuries! They don't have more knowledges about science that compared with today. They always focus on more Politics and Economic in London..

For me, it is very good story. The Sherlock Holmes 2 will come out because I felt that Holmes's enemie will appear and face with him soon... You better to watch this movie if you're Sherlock Holmes's fan! :D

Surrogates Movie Review

Summary

Surrogates, based on the graphic novel, foretells what it would be like if we all created robot versions of ourselves to do out daily activities while we stay home and control them via virtual reality. We could stay young, vireal, buff and beautiful. We wouldn’t have to worry about hygiene, getting fat and aging. It is quite a dynamic and creepy fantasy world depicted in this film.

Once the world is established we meet FBI Agent Greer who takes a case that involves users of the Surrogates dying when their robot counterparts die. Is it the Prophet who is doing the killing as he unleashes his agenda to save mankind from its reliance on the robots? All these are suspects and more as the film twists and turns through this futuristic world at break-neck pace.

---------------------------------------------------------

Maybe you don't know what is about Surrogates.. Everyone own a surrogate robot body in their lives in countries. Their feeling can accept the everything good through the surrogate experiences, e.g. he uses his robot body to run so faster, and not need to gain the painful experience when a person beat up his robot..mean his robot can do everything as he likes...But, there are very murder mystery set in a future world with filled the robots! How to kill a human through his/her robot? They use a dangerous weapon to kill who is involved with world-company which sell the surrogate robots..

I am shocked when I see which is one real human in a group of robots in the place??! I think that it is hard to find out one of them.. :P because the robots looks as very real real! This is really a 'Second Life' games when you play the character in the world through the multiplayer games!! I played the multiplayer games before but, this movie make me wow! :P I think that the actors/actress did a great job at acting like a robot in this movie.. :D

For my opinion, those who don't accept reality-life and use two-faces to use a robot. e.g. a guy use a female robot to play with them, or lie to everyone about his/her life...And if everyone uses surrogates all the time for just about everything, like working and enjoyable of life, they will be unhealthy because they always be in home only. They also never express their real emotions like love, fear, sadness and guilt starts! It will affected the children. What you think about this story? :) It make everyone learn to accept your own mistake in reality life after a FBI Agent Greer stopped it from culprit who wanted to destory everyone own the robots...

G-FORCE Movie Review

About a group of intelligent animal commandos working for a government agency trying to prevent an evil billionaire from taking over the world.the G-FORCE are guinea pigs Darwin, the squad leader determined to succeed at all costs; Blaster, an outrageous weapons expert with tons of attitude and a love for all things extreme; and Juarez, a sexy martial arts pro; plus the literal fly-on-the-wall reconnaissance expert Mooch, and a star-nosed mole Speckles, the computer and information specialist..

----------------------------------------------------

After "UP" movie, I went to the Sunway Pyramid to watch the movie "Where got Ghost?!" (mandarin) on last friday after my work. Suddnelly, it fully booked so FULL already! O_o Why it always like this? I tot it is not popular but many people want to watch this! It make me no choice...So, I chose G-FORCE movie because we are lucky to get the empty seated because no one come to take reservation seat! :D

G-FORCE is 3-D family action-comedies centered on elite, high-tech, computer-animated animal agents. They are 'cute' team of guinea pigs armed with most sophisticated and high-end tech gadgets as the weapons such as the plasma gun and others, especially I like them about the guinea pigs ride in 'cute' balls! ^ ^ I like it! They also are brave and decide to take a mission about their enemy's objective are destroingy the world with his home appliances. So their question is how he would do it. Later, I am surprised that the film showed that his remote-controlled home appliances will all fly together and amalgamate into a mighty metallic robot with semblance to a 'Transformer'!! Haha..

But, I wonder how guinea pigs, and mole can communicate the language with the human? O_o I know that they trained so very well but, hamster, mouses and quinea pig also can communicate too at outside.. Weird :P Wow, they also use a fly as 'spy'!! It is an interesting! My eldest sis sure will hate the bugs if she watch this movie! Haha. They are very small size but it is very challenge for them when they face the FBI agents and robots! :P

It teach you kids about learn to trust someone you loved in your family, treat the animals so nicely, NOT bully them! :) and don't choose 'evil' path to take revenge.. :) G-Force is a perfectly timed movie for the holiday 'hari raya' that the kids enjoy to watch with family~ :)

The movie review: "Where got Ghost?!" (mandarin) that will coming soon! Look for this! :D

Angels & Demons

THE SUMMARY Angels & Demons is based on the novel by Dan Brown and has a returning Tom Hanks as Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon. He is called upon by the Vatican to help investigate the kidnapping of four Roman Cardinals during the voting in of a new pope. What he finds is more a terrorist threat. A bomb has been planted somewhere in Vatican City and it is up to Langdon, a female scientist Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer ) and the prior popes right hand man Camerlengo Patrick McKenna (Ewan McGregor) to figure out ancient clues to find the bomb and save the Cardinals. It is a race against time and old church tradition. The terrorist plot points toward an ancient sect known as The Illuminati, a group who has a century’s old vendetta against the Catholic Church. Langdon must decipher their history in order to find the clues necessary to save the day!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have two famous books; Angels & Demons and Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown because it make me like to know more about the mystery murder which is related with the historical information 'Jesus' and 'Vatican's secret'.

When I watched the movie, it added some history of Rome was awesome and guide to the path which give the interesting information... I think that Robert's performance and spirit with a nice touch and sense of humor. :) I like the Angels & Demons because it is better than the Da Vinci Code movie because it combines ancient church culture, a thrilling race against time, and a treasure hunt of Roman artistry, amazing history about elements and science, and mysterious places.. When a priest meet Robert Langdon, he asks, "Do you believe in God?" Well, it is hard to answer this question for me, so it depends on your life to believe what you see in your heart or keep to faith in God?

I am thinking a question about antimatter bomb, a tiny device with the power of a nuclear warhead is existed in our world or not? The landscape of clouds looks great and beautiful when the antimatter bomb finish the battery, then want to BOM!.. This is very interesting story...You need to find out who is real bad guy behind this plan to destroy the Vatican! :P You will enjoy the movie for what it is: an exciting mystery, set in the awe-inspiring beauty of Rome, murder at the Vatican and a secret and powerful society known as the "Illuminati"!

I found an interesting web site about the truth of "Angels and Demons" that give many questions which related with religion and science. - Source: truthaboutangelsanddemons.com

The Pink Panther 2

THE SUMMARY

When the time come, there is a master-thief, known as The Tornado, who comes out of retirement to steal some of the world’s most priceless artifacts, including the Pink Panther Diamond. So, Inspector Clouseau has something to do with an international team of experts who attempt to recover their treasures from around the world, including the Pink Panther diamond and catch the culprit "The Tornado".

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Funny, I laughed uncontrollably when Clouseau tried to tell the SWAT team about a password security - "hamburger"! I really like the Smart Car because its cutee..Hehe Funny, they went to park their car into the small place! And Ponton is very scare when Clouseau drives the Smart Car! :P

There is also some supposedly humor involving the pope! This is my first time to watch the scene about the amazing place - Pope's buliding... Clouseau acted as weird and funny while he explained how to stole the ring to the Pope and the detectives..Then, he try to go outside after he is wearing the priest's cloth.. He don't notice that many visitors tried to take a photo on him at the Pope's buliding! They thought him is the Pope. It is funny.. HAHA! Sometimes, he cannot solve this case on his own because he confused about his relationship with Nicole? :P Maybe, Ponton and Nicole knew that Clouseau is genius detective? Who knows it? You better to watch this movie! :D

This is a really goofy movie for them to be involved with, they’re mostly there to provide a backdrop for Martin’s humor!

Detective Conan : Full Score of Fear

THE SUMMARY

To cut a long story shorten, this movie is about serial murders and bombards involving all kinds of musicians have occurred. It is discovered that all the victims are from a Music School led by a famous organist and former pianist named Doumoto Kazuki.

Conan and his accomplices have been invited to attend the opening concert of Music Hall. The biggest attraction of this concert is the world famous violin called "Stradivarius" and a special appearance of the main Soprano named Akiba Reiko who has perfect pitch from that same school as well.

However, due to unknown reason, Akiba has been being attacked thus it falls to Conan to protect her, investigate the true motive of all the serial murders and catch the murderer before the concert become bloody stage of a tragedy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are fan of Nodame Cantabile or classical music, you may ought to see this this movie as it consists a lot of music performance. But too bad that I am deaf, can't hear the rhythm... XD But the environment on the stage of the concert are really conceiving. When watching this concert, you will feel like you are at the concert there. o.O

What I like about this movie is Akiba Reiko. Although she is just a supporting character, but she managed to steal the main female character spotlight from Ran who is the usual in the previous ones and become more active character at Conan's side. I am sorry for Ran but I really like Akiba better. She really look very elegant and also a smart lady. What's unique about her is that she has perfect pitch... I wonder what it feel like having a perfect pitch. XD

However, the method of murders are extremely boring indeed as the death are just an instant and quicked skimmed past. It can't bring us to heart beat in guessing who is really the murderers. No clues... No evidences... No big climax... =/ But the outcome or the conclusion is fine still... I hope the next movie should make its BIGGEST CLIMAX.

Note: This post was supposed to be released last month but due to photo uploading error, I abandon this blog temporarily.

More information about Ghost Hunt

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ghost Hunt is getting exciting. I think that it is good story because this is a bit thriller and supernatural, but Mai is very cheerful and funny! :D . I really like about how the team investigated the mysterious of place; hospital, school, church, and etc.. :D Before I started to watch this horror 'Ghost Hunt', I thought that it will be boring if the story will make you scary only! But, it got comedy and enjoyable series too! :D Then it is nice and make me curious about what's next answer so I cannot wait for next episodes! ^ ^ Wow, there are the people have different ability for the ghost/spirit of exorcisman that joined in a team, such as an Onmyoji user, Buddhist Monk, Miko priestess, Catholic exorcist priest, and Spirit medium which have the ability to speak to the dead! It make me wonder if they are strong ot not! :D

Kazuya Shibuya is very quiet guy because he don't like social with people..Maybe he has other reason? His team always call him - his nickname "Naru". Mai thought that Naru is rude because he ingnore what she is trying to talk with.. But, Naru is not bad guy because his action are protecting Mai and his team.. :) It is weird about why Mai always dreaming about when she is in danger, other "Naru" appeared to her suddnelly..His personality is different than "Naru" ! O_O He always smile and try to tell her about what she needs to do.. Who is other "Naru" in Mai's dream?

This series is really nice and has 1 - 25 episodes only.. I really hope that they will do the 'Ghost Hunt' season two! You better to watch this anime! :D

And you can enjoy to read Ghost Hunt manga

Case Closed / Detective Conan

In my college time, my cousin brought this manga book Detective Conan that volumed the number of 27 to my house on the celebration of my grandpa's birthday. He left this book at my place after the celebration. So I took this book as my own possession afterwards.. Sorry to my cousin. ^_^

Well, Detective Conan, as known as Case Closed in America, is a detective manga and anime series by Gosho Aoyama which has been currently published since 1994.

THE SUMMARY

The story starts with a 17-year-old high school student Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri who are on a trip to a theme park named Tropical Land encounter a murder there. After solving the case, he happens to track two mysterious men in black and tells Ran to go home, then witnesses an illegal deal. Unfortunately, he is knocked out and given an untested experimental poison named Apotoxin-4869. However, Shinichi still survives but has now been shrunk to a 6-year-old young child.

Telling the incident to Dr. Agasa Hiroshi, Dr. Agasa asks Shinichi not to tell anyone. Bad time somehow occurs when Ran comes to his house and spot him in child form. Ran asks for his name and Shinichi comes up the name of Conan Edogawa. Dr. Agasa asks Ran to let Conan live together since he is not able to take care of a young child. What's more is that Ran's father, Mouri Kogoro is a detective, so it is more convenient for Conan to amass clues about the men in black.

Still, Mouri Kogoro is an useless detecive and Conan always has to investigate and solves mysteries in his stead while he gets the credit. Thanks to Dr. Agasa for inventing gadgets which allows Conan to put Mouri in sleeping mode with an "anesthesia gun-watch" and mimic his voice with a voice changer disguised as a bowtie.

In order to cover his real identity, Conan studies in Teitan Elementary School and set up with Genta, Mitch, Ayumi and later Haibara to form Detective Boys. Shiho Miyano with her alias name; Haibara is a former member of the Black Organization, so Conan learns about the Black Organization, a huge international crime syndicate. Members in Black Organization takes after the brand name of alcohol drinks.

Later on in this story, Conan meets with Heiji Hatsutori, a rival detective from Osaka and becomes good friend. And also, the gentleman thief known as the Phantom Thief Kid who seems always intends to challenge Conan in addition to teasing him as well on some missions.

Now Conan continues to solve many cases happened along this story and needs to find a way to break through the Black Organization. And also, he wishes to revert his shrunken body to the normal body in order to realize his love to Ran Mouri.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Detective Conan has been currently running... a really long series~! @_@ But I am getting excited and excited with its story development. Every case happened won't be the same, but still Conan able to solve with a good result. That's what amazed me in that way. He is a real genius savant despite his body is being shrunken but his brain won't blunt!!! XD
