COMING SOON not the romance movie






It’s a cool Saturday morning, as usual it’s just me & a sleeping Benz. Horror movie time YAHOO !!! Of course, I prefer Asian Horror flicks. So I rummage thru my brothers’ collection of DVDs and WHALAA top 2 candidates for my morning fright is CASE 39 featuring Renee Zelweger & COMING SOON, a Thai Horror Movie. 

Like I said, I prefer Asian. The movie started creepy immediately, there was a young girl dirty, tied up & crying in fright, she’s around 4 or 5 years old. Luckily she was able to get loose & took a peek at a crack in the walls. Lo & behold a scary almost bald old hag with a limp was coming towards her direction with a knife ! PANIC PANIC ! She hid inside an old cabinet, holding back her tears of fear as she watched the killer delve thru furniture looking for her, coming closer & closer until finally she found her, there was so much struggle, just imagine  the hardships of a 4 year old child against an enraged lunatic. 

In the end, the villagers found the crazed murderer of children & they beat her up, sliced her face with her own knife & hang her THE END. Not much ha, but that was just the beginning of it all, this my friends was just a movie showing in today’s cinema. It was like any other horror movie except that whoever watches it, gets killed ! Well, I think not everybody but mostly members of the cinema crew. 

Vengeful spirit ? Maybe, It was after all a true story. I don’t want to give much so as not to ruin the suspense. But the ending was not quite you’d expect. Ok, here’s a itsy bitsy clue, the murderer is still alive ! She’s currently in an asylum. So who’s killing everybody ? And how come everybody who gets killed disappears & ends up in the movie ? 


SAGA (not twilight) Curse of the Shadow



Well, the title of this flick in the download world was Dragon Lore, Curse of the Shadow, that’s why it immediately caught my attention. The last dragon movie that really kicked butt was Reign of Fire, so I got my hopes up that this one could be an awesomeness contender.

The opening scene definitely included a dragon without delay, but it was short lived considering that an Elf shot it down dead. Riding that beautiful dragon was an Orc. Hmmm elves, Orcs, Dragons, do we hear The Lord of the Rings ? Yes, all creatures are great adaptations from the block buster movie. FX & visual effects were impressive but the story went a bit dawdling & fight scenes were noticeably long-drawn-out. Still, you will be kept on your seat waiting for that WOW scene. In the end, the conclusion was too easy, too simple a confrontation for the hero & villain. Actually I can’t really call the God of Death a villain at all cause he hardly put up a fight. So if you guys are expecting fight scenes between Gods & Mortals ala Clash of the Titans, this is not the movie for you.


Overall, it was a tolerable watch although I have to admit that some may fall asleep while watching it LOL, mind you – I didn’t. I have a long range of tolerance hehehe

Lovable Aliens



I had a misconception of what this movie was all about. All the while I thought it was all about vampires, to my surprise, it was about aliens. I know that I’ve seen it’s official trailer listed amongst the You Tube Top 10 but I never really took the time to watch it. 

The movie was full action upon start, & they won’t keep you waiting on what’s in store, you immediately see what the E.T. looks like ! No, it’s not the usual spooky egg head, tall green figure of an alien life form. This time it was like a small fairy, gentle looking creatures. So, all the time the movie will keep you at your feet on when the creature will finally strike. It never did. Their only crime as it turns out is that they need a “Host” to survive. They take over planets but upon doing so perfect it. There was peace all over the land. Cool right ? So what makes them so bad ? Well, maybe the loss of free will. 

As the movie progress, you would see how the alien life forms are more peaceful than the humans, at one point, it was even the alien calling us “Monsters!!!” , funny. The whole story was a good watch, it will keep you glued to your seat listening intently. Not really action packed but with a touch of suspense here & there. Near it’s end, if you’re the crying type like I am, it will definitely make you cry.

Top realization of this film : It’s not how you look that makes people love you, it’s who you are AWWWW that applies even for aliens.

ALONE



It’S a cool Saturday morning, Benz still sleeping soundly, Ben my hubby is off to work, Mom too. Perfect !!! This is the moment I have been waiting for to enjoy a horror movie ! 

My baby brother randy lent me a 24 in 1 DVD of Asian Horror Movies, Asian meaning horror flicks from Japan, Korea, Thailand and the likes. I steadily chose the 1st movie on the disc,ALONE. Without knowing what it’s all about, I bravely embark on my horror indulging morning. 

It’s been years since I had a chance like this, remember RING ? Or THE GRUDGE ? I never saw those movies, ok ok I admit, I didn’t have the nerve to watch them LOL. Up to present time 2013 that those movies are already considered ancient, I still haven’t seen them. I saw the American version of The Ring once or twice as it was aired over cable tv, it was creepy.

On occasions, while am waiting for my daughter Benz to get off from school, I would enjoy an occasional YOU TUBE moment of checking out what’s the latest horror movies to see. It would usually be “what’s the Top 10 best horror movies”. Once, I chanced upon a list of horror short stories titled 13 Asian Horror Stories some of them were goose bumps eerie, while others were spine-chilling scary, I remember the one that got me the most was a short story of somebody knocking & knocking on the front door, the figure was a woman bathed in blood. What really crept me out was when the young girl saw her thru the glass window ON TOP of the door !

Gave me nightmares ! It was disturbing ! Hence the reason why I don’t watch horror movies. But don’t get me wrong, I had my fair share when I was younger, all Nightmare on elm st, Friday the 13 th, Psycho stuff. I stopped when I got married, 17 years ago. My husband is the 3rd eye type, not the Bruce Willis 6 sense movie “I see dead people” but more of a lots of experience with the supernatural stuff type. We live in their ancestral home that used to be near mango orchards & rice fields, but that my friend is for another day to tell stories about :)



Back to ALONE, the dialogue was Thai, the subtitle sucks so I have to make do with simple common sense regarding the conversations. Hey, 1st movie after ages, I’m Excited !

The story is about conjoined twins separated due to the untimely death of one of them. Many years later the surviving twin comes home cause their mother is dying. They are well off, so SHE had a good life, she’s beautiful, talented, smart & has a very loving fiancée. But then their arrival to their childhood home brought GHOSTS, her twin is haunting her, she wants REVENGE ! The story is simple yet it was exciting all thru out. I didn’t guess the ending. Special effects were few. All in all ALONE was a good horror movie, nothing gory, no monsters. So for all of you starting up on horror movies, this is a good watch. Let’s just level up to more terrifying watch along the way :)

911 what's your emergency ?



This movie is no joke, it gave our mom the jippers causing her BP to rise. It even made her worry for us. Me & my sister both drive ourselves to “point A to everywhere”, to work, to the mall, to the supermarket. In other words were self sufficient. This movie’s danger started from that point, as a girls walks herself to her car in a mall’s carpark.

Personally, I like this movie. It’s a 911 centered movie. Watching it would give you the feel of how the people taking the 911 calls feel. How they could also suffer from other people’s misfortune, Or how they could blame themselves for failing to save them. In the end, it’s the same 911 person who saves the day HOORAY !!! GO GIRL !!! Haley Berry is so perfect for the role. As my sister put it, she couldn’t picture a blonde doing what she did LOL or a red head of for that matter.

The Call, will show us how to be extra careful when you’re on a public carpark, what to do in case you were kidnapped & placed inside the trunk of a car & so many more. In short it shows us that even if you are overpowered and scared, you can still fight back, fight for your life.

Overall, this is a must see movies especially for ladies of all ages. Watch it now.
