Movie Review: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

In the 21st century, A teenager Percy Jackson discovers he's actually a demi-God, the son of Poseidon, and he is the prime suspect when Zeus' lightning is stolen. Percy must master his newfound skills in order to prevent a war between the Gods that could devastate the entire world. He and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save Percy's mom, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.

Do you know what is this story about the ancient Greek gods, such as Zeus, Hades, Athena, Hermes and others? Mount Olympus was the home of the Greek gods, but did you know to get there all you have to do is take an elevator secretly located inside the Empire State Building to get there? I was shocked to learn Medusa owns a stone-status shop! in New Jersey and...What?! Underground of Hell is located in Hollywood?!

When I watched the Medusa's part, it remind me to read a greek story about Perseus cut her head..With help from Athena and Hermes, who supplied him with winged sandals, Hades' cap of invisibility, a sword, and a mirrored shield, he accomplished his quest. That is why it is similar when Percy are saving his mother as his quest while he are fighting with evil monsters with a daughter of Athena and half-goat man. He also have a sword, winged shoes and gold mirror which given by a son of Hermes, Luke.

There are a magical training facility is set up in the woods for their half-human, half-god children (referred to as demigods) to learn their skills, such as they learn how to fight with used the swords, how to plan the strategy battle, etc...Like Harry Potter who learn how to use magic in the school castle... :P

But, Lotus casino in Las Vegas part is very boring. They better to use Cerberus, three-headed dog, guarded Hades' underworld when Percy and his friends visit Hades! -_- Because they use the monster dogs who guard Hades's home. Why Hades is a fire demon?! For me, he is not demon..He just is god of death who ruled the underground 'Hell'. so, it is not impressive about Hades' part. Percy and Luke always fighting in the air... O_o He is very strong when he used the magic of water.. He really need water because it can heal and power up on him!

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

Avatar Movie Review

The summary of story is when year of 2154 where Jake Sully, a marine, looses his legs in a battle. Jake’s twin brother who had to leave for a project on Pandora, a distant moon, dies unexpectedly and the authorities of the mission offer Jake his brother’s place as the project requires a DNA match. Jake accepts the offer just because he knows that by this he would be able to walk again on his feet and he would be able to pay off surgery expenses. Avatar is the body of tall, blue Pandora natives known as Na’vi. He travels to Pandora but Dr. Grace Augustine, head of the project, is not happy he does not want to send an inexperienced person on the most important project of her life. Na’vi detest “sky people” and calls them Earth denizens. The mission is to get vast quantities of a mineral that Na’vi has and officials want to relocate Na’vi but Jake will never ever do it and will try to take it through negotiation. Jake gets lost in the forests and a Na’vi warrior Neytiri rescues him.

Wow!! It is very great!! I want to watch this Avatar again! I also wonder how it can looks real!!! I heard that filmmaker, James Cameron has been working for 4 years!! It got alot of 3D effects that can make you go in the beautiful jungles! You will face different animals and Navi there. The Navi looks as intellagine human, but also has big catlikes eyes, tail, and blue-skinned...They are very taller than normal human! Its this vivid of the real and the imaginary, the material world and the spiritual are connected so each other! Like the vision of utopia, technology and ecology fuse. On Pandora, electrical currents flow through the root systems of the trees.

Jake Sullys can go to connect to his clone Navi when he is sleeping inside a machine.. For me, if he go into his Nav's world, it become his dream! So, it is like the roleplaying and multiplayer games, might one day lead to a profound philosophical empathy, a higher human consciousness~


The movie has a special message that how the people of Pandora rely on their ecology, their environment, trees and related things that the human race has probably neglected in its desperation for modernization.

How about you? Like it? :D I can say that this movie really are very best and successful movie! This is a MUST see for everyone! This is very creative ideas!

Kimberly and her husband are really happy!! LOL! My friend, Woan Koon and I like to thank them for invite us out to watch this movie, AVATAR at 1 Utama. ^^

Storm Riders II Movie Review

The Storm Riders II is back now!! Wind and Cloud will fight with a ruthless Japanese warlord intent on invading China. So, Wind, Cloud and their allies must level-up their martial arts to eradicate the invaders. The process of leveling up their skills is fraught with life-threatening risks to themselves and their loved ones.






















My sisters and I bought the tickets for my dad because this movie is my dad's favourite..I remembered that my dad also watched the movie 'The Storm Warrior' before this...After we watch this movie at Mid Valley, I am really boring with this movie because I can say WIND and CLOUD's action are good but..it is not very amazing story. I think that the part of scene is very like 300 movie, but it also have graphic art... I really don't like the effects, such as speed, darkness and alot of blood out when they are in the war..lol! That is why many computer graphic are in this movie! For me, WIND is not enough to be evil!

When it come to the ending, they focus on WIND and CLOUD's action only. They always fighting each other after they kill a powerful enemies...I felt that they are very show off about their skill of kungfu when they are fighting each other! So, they are 'cool'! :P Sometimes, I don't understand what is about this story... :) The ending is not enough good because I felt this will continue to another movie again. What about you? This is really good or not? :D I still prefer The Storm Warrior!
