Transformer robots invaded Mid Valley

The center court of Mid Valley is full of transformer robots. Full size. Quite impressive.

Went to watch the movie Battleship - My review

Went to see the movie Battleship with the kids last week.



This is a pure special effects movie without any plot what-so-ever. If fact, I won't be surprised that this movie was made purely by Hasbro to help push their "Battleship" board game.

The plot is too simplistic. For an alien intelligence to travel far through space and still don't understand the concept of a boat (crafts that go hopping on the sea?!? What not just fly???) and using chemical weapons (lobbing spinning mortar shells - don't they know anything about guided missiles?)  does not make sense.

Moreover, at the start of the movie, for a squadron of space ships to travels lights years away while maneuvering out of the way of planets, moons etc. but at the last 10,000 km, had a small accident with an Earth satellite also makes you wonder about the aliens.

Verdict: for special effects, a must see but anything else above that, its a dud.

Went to watch the movie: Journey 2 - The Mysterious Island

Last weekend, for the first time in 5 years, I went to the theater to watch a movie. The movie, Journey 2 - The Mysterious Island staring Josh Hutcherson, Dwayne Johnson and Michael Caine is about Sean Anderson partners with his mom's boyfriend on a mission to find his grandfather, who is thought to be missing on a mythical island.

An entertaining movie. Not too dramatic yet something that you can watch with the whole family.

Movie review of MARS NEEDS MOMS

Honestly I did not see the movie. However, my kids went and this was what they had to say about the movie.


Location: Alamanda Shopping Complex.

After queuing up, they realised that that this is a 3D movie and hence a different fee structure. After paying RM18 for adults and RM15 for children, they were surprised to get a very nice pair of 3D glasses. Downside, if lost or broken, they will be liable for RM150 per piece!


From the time the screen was lighted up, everything was in 3D, even the adverts and trailers.


As for the movie, they enjoyed it tremendously. They have asked me to get the DVD when it comes out. They felt it was money well spent.
