Bolt the superdog

Bolt is opening in Malaysia cinemas this week. This movie is so suitable during this school holiday, so why not take your kids/little brothers/little sisters/nephews/nieces/etc to watch this movie. I bet the adults would also enjoy it. It also received many positive reviews from critics. So there's no reason to not watch this movie.

TARA 3 memories

Ok guys, I know TARA 3 has already finish but the excitement still hasn't gone yet. So tonight AXN will air TARA 3 Memories to look back at the activities that the teams did outside of the race. This should be fun! So don't forget tonight's show TARA fans!

The Coffin ~ review

I love Asian horror movies, well most of it. Some of my favorite are A Tale of Two Sisters (Korea), One Missed Call (Japan), Jangan Pandang Belakang (Malaysia) and Long Khong (Thailand). Asian horror movies tend to have slow-moving plot and weird deaths but in the end, it was all worth it because the story were so good you don't really mind all the minor stuff.

Sadly, same thing cannot be said to The Coffin. This movie do not have slow-moving plot, but very, very very slow snail-pace moving plot (and I'm dead serious!). I wouldn't have mind that if it has a good story or a twist in the end but no, nothing. The story is plain simple and have no twist whatsoever. The scary scenes are not really scary either, except for the loud cracking noise from a self-opened lock.

It's a shame really considering it has powerful casts, Ananda Everingham and Karen Mok. Ananda was very convincing as Chris and Karen was kinda okay too as Zoe, although I didn't quite like her scream which I think sounded a little bit fake, but other than that she was okay. She is one of my favourite chinese actress so I can't complaint much.

This movie tells 2 separate stories about Chris and Zoe who went through a Thai ritual, which is sleeping in a coffin, to fend off bad luck or bad karma. However, after the ritual, they started to experience paranormal and spooky incidents. Terrified, Chris and Zoe started to investigate the cause of all these paranormal incidents and how to stop them.

I'm very disappointed with this movie. I usually love horror movies, especially the Asian ones, but The Coffin just turned me off. I hope the people behind this movie would not give up and work harder on their next project. I give The Coffin 2 stars out of 5. Sorry.

Better luck next time.

Plants Vs Ice!

It's been awhile since I last wrote about YuYu Hakusho. So let's continue on the journey. Here's what happen in Vol. 8.

The battle continues on between Team Urameshi and Team Dr Ichigaki. Kurama and Hiei finally showed their faces at the stadium after being absent before. They revealed the truth about Dr Ichigaki's plot who was controlling the 3 humans who were fighting for his team. Kuwabara was so angry after he knew about this but was not able to do anything and was beaten to the ground. Finally it was Mask (y'know, the mystery masked fighter, I like to just call her Mask) who managed to free the 3 humans from Dr Ichigaki's control. And Dr Ichigaki was beaten (and destroyed!) by the estranged Yuusuke. He deserved it.

They thought the battle was over but they were forced to begin the next round and fight Team Masho (in Malay, this team is called Pakar Syaitan loosely translated as Devil Experts). And the organizer even tricked Urameshi Team by not allowing Hiei and Mask from competing, they were considered injured. Yeah right! With Kuwabara badly injured, it was up to Kurama and Yuusuke to fight Team Masho. Can they win this time???

My favourite fight in this volume is Kurama VS Toya, the ice master. I just love to see Kurama in action. And Toya has cool techniques too. But the fight was short, I wish it was longer. Kurama was badly injured too. Luckily he's a strong-willed person. Go Kurama!

The volume ends with Yuusuke VS Zin, the wind master. And the result is...mmm...no result yet actually. You have to buy Vol. 9 to find out that one.

Vince & Sam the winners of TARA3!!!

Finally, we have the winners! Congratulations to Vince & Sam for winning The Amazing Race Asia season 3!!! I had goosebumps watching them racing to the last pit stop.

And here is my review for the last leg of TARA3.




Teams first started off making their way to Muscat Office for their next clue. Then, they must make their way to Said's Camel Farm and transfer 10 camels into a holding pit before they can get their next clue. Ida & Tania completed the task without having much trouble while Sam & Vince were really struggling with their camels. And I think Tisha looked really cute while pulling and communicating with the camels to get them into the holding pit.





Next, the final Roadblock. Teams must drive to Uber Sands and use a metal detector to locate a key that will unlock a box containing their next clue. The teams vehicles got stuck in the sand quite several times. The wheather was too hot and the tire became soft and buried in the sand. Ida & Tania were the worst team affected by this. After that, they must travel to Phuket, Thailand and take a taxi to Sam Kong Temple for their next clue. Ida & Tania made a bad flight choices and ended up stranded at the airport. This lead them to lost precious time and being the last team to arrive in Phuket behind Geoff & Tisha and Vince & Sam who were on the same flight.






Teams then made their way to Thai Trade Food Ice Factory and searched through a barrel of shaved ice to locate an ice cube before receiving their next clue. Teams then must go to Lam Hin Pier for their next clue. After that, they must take a traditional Thai long tail fishing boat and locate a fisherman who has their next clue.

Next, the final Detour. Teams must pick between Pull and Plunge. In Pull, teams must locate a marked oyster in an oyster farm and exchange it for their next clue. In Plunge, teams must dive and search the sea floor for giant clamshell. They will find a pearl inside the clamshell and must exchange it for their next clue. Vince & Sam and Geoff & Tisha completed the Pull task while Ida & Tania chose Plunge. Ida & Tania really enjoyed themselves in the water.





After that, the final task. Teams must dig in a marked area in Rang Yai Beach for a buried treasure chest. The 1st team to place their treasure chest on the map at the final pit stop will be the winner of The Amazing Race Asia season 3 and also win USD100,000.

And as you guys already know by now (the title of this post is obvious enough), Vince and Sam are the winners of TARA 3 with Geoff & Tisha in 2nd place and Tania & Ida in 3rd place. It was an amazing race from the start to the finish. I also want to congratulate Geoff & Tisha and Tania & Ida for making it to the final. You guys race really well. Well done!

The vampires are finally here!

Twilight will open in cinemas this week in the US, but not here in Malaysia. I thought this movie would has the same release date in Malaysia, but guess not.

Anyway, the movie that I had been waiting for will open in Malaysia this week. Can't guess it? It's Quarantine! I'm dying to see this movie. It had already open in the US several weeks back. I had already post about the movie before, even the trailer. Please check back the previous posts in Movies for that ok.

Here's the trailer of Twilight. I never read the book before but based on the trailer, it looks good. So hopefully it won't disappoint the book's fans all around the world.

Enjoy! And thanx IGN for the trailer and Filmonic for the Twilight casts pic!

Any bold prediction?

So tonight is the finale of TARA 3. I can't wait! Who's gonna win it this time? The Philippines couple, Geoff & Tisha? The Malaysian moms Ida & Tania? The Hong Kong friends Sam & Vince?

In my humble opinion, all 3 teams had a good chance in winning this. My guess would be Geoff & Tisha 1st, Ida & Tania 2nd and Sam & Vince 3rd. But if based on favorites, of course I want Ida & Tania to win this race, they are my favourite team! But it could be Sam & Vince too based on Sony commercial. Argh...I don't know! Anyway, I don't really mind coz I think all 3 teams deserve to win. So I'm happy whatever the result will be.

Anything could happen in this race. You'll never know until you watch it to the end.

Let the countdown begins.
