Red ~ review

This movie starred Bruce Willis. That's all I know about Red when I went to see it with one of my best friend. Knowing nothing else, I expected nothing from this movie. And I was treated with a joyful, action-packed and humorous movie.

Red starred Bruce Willis alongside Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Mary-Louise Parker, Karl Urban and Brian Cox. It was loosely based on comic books by DC Comics. The movie started off rather smoothly, quiet and peaceful as the two characters chatted along and reading romance novels. But as soon as the action start, it never ends. The action sequences were sometimes a bit over-dramatic but never over-the-top like A-Team or something like that. And I prefer it that way. The characters are the best thing about Red, they are agile (even though they retired), resourceful, tough, and funny. The chemistry between characters are great too. Helen Mirren look extremely believable firing guns in a dress. That lady rocks!


The plot were nothing to shout about, but the decent story together with great acting, a bit of romance and funny lines really brings this movie up of my favourite-movie list. And the plot is easy to follow too. Therefore I think Red can really appeal to not just males but females as well because off all the mix it has in the plot.

As a conclusion, Red is a fun movie to watch. It brings a lot of laugh and have a good amount of action to keep you excited throughout the movie. With amazing casts and well-balanced plot, I give Red 3 1/2 stars out of 5.

Watch out for Skyline

I always love a good alien movie. If last year we have the terrific District 9, hopefully this year we can have a good alien movie with Skyline. I know it's too soon to tell, but so far the trailer looks good. You can check out the trailer in YouTube or just click here to go there. The trailer looks awesome! Skyline is set for release in theaters on November 12, 2010. Can't wait!

Hot music!

Here are some of the songs that I'm listening to (and crazy about) now. Just want to share it with the rest of the world.

Kylie Minogue - Get Outta My Way

This song is awesome! Another great song from Kylie Minogue. The video for the song is not as energetic as I would like it to be, but I love it so much anyway!

Ke$ha - Take It Off

So far, I like all of Ke$ha's songs, and this one definitely one of the best. I like the colour dust concept she used in her video for this song, it really makes it beautiful despite the raunchy lyrics she used in the song.

Travie McCoy - Need You

This is a song that I would never expect from Travie McCoy. It's more pop than anything that I'd heard from him before. Nevertheless, it's an addictive song, like so many other songs from him.

BoA - Hurricane Venus

She changed her style (again!) for her new Korean album. I love the song although I think it's not as good as her previous Korean singles. Still love BoA though.

Katy Perry - Teenage Dream

Oh my, Teenage Dream is a great pop song, I LOVE IT!!! I'm not really into her 1st single so this one was quite a surprise for me when I first listened to it.

Nelly - Just A Dream

Nelly is one of my favourite hip hop artist. I like his voice and this song is definitely one of his best (in my opinion at least).

2NE1 - Clap Your Hands

Yay, new song from K-pop girl group 2NE1!!! One of three promotional songs for their 1st full-length album, this song is catchy and hip, and my favourite from the three songs. The music video is awesome too. They are definitely the most stylish group from Korea, great job 2NE1!

Nadine & Yani are out from TARA 4

Yes, the lovable and dramatic duo Nadine & Yani is the 1st team to be eliminated from The Amazing Race Asia season 4. I was kind of sad to see them leave as they add quite a drama to the season. They work well together, unfortunately not well enough to avoid elimination.

I was beginning to warm up to the teams for this season after watching episode 2, and to be frank, they are all very entertaining. All of them have their own strengths and weaknesses. The Malaysian teams (Ivan/Hilda and Ethan/Khairie) did pretty well thus far and the Singaporean girls (Claire/Michelle) and the Indian teams (Dimple/Sunaina and Manas/Sahil) were pretty good too. But the team to watch this season, in my opinion, is the Philippines boys (Rich/Rich). They argue a bit here and there, they got lost easily, but they still manage to come in 2nd place for both 1st and 2nd leg of the race. If they keep up the momentum, they could win the race.

I do have a bit of a problem though about this season of TARA, I can't remember the contestant's names! I have to search the internet every time I want to type their names. The only teams that I remember are Ivan/Hilda and Rich/Rich (the latter team is easy right?). I don't think I have much of a problem in last season. Either their names are hard to remember or I am getting old. I'm not that old right? Right?

Anyways, it's a great season so far and hopefully things will get more and more exciting.
