Image taken from bubbleview.com
Saving General Yang is a movie casted by : Adam Cheng, Ekin Cheng, Vic Chou, etc. A movie about family, honor, loyalty and spirit. The story itself is based upon a true story, this will be seen at the last of the movie.
General Yang is a famous general in the country, known from all of his achievement in winning wars and the emperor also respect him. General Yang has 7 sons, the 6-7 son never been to war before. The 6th son built a relationships with princess chai, but somehow the emperor put an arranged married between princess chai and prince Yan, this will be one of the milestone in the movie, kind of think of it, its quite similar with troy.
Anyway, a war broke and General Yang is ordered to lead in the front field of the war to face the Khitan Klan. He was cornered and badly injured, so his wife come to well known teacher to ask for his advise and the teacher said " 7 sons will go, 6 will comeback" , and this will be the question runs in my head while watching this movie.
This movie will teach us about loyalty, loyal to your family and your country. How we respect our parents, and see our parents as our role model. General Yang and his wife is a successful parents, they successfully teach their sons to become a respectful person and also love their brothers dearly. With 7 sons you can imagine there will be lots of characters, each of the son characters shown in the movie quite well, they all have their talents and passions.
One of the best mandarin movie I've seen, my eyes pampered with beautiful pictures and scenery in the movie. Although I think there are still lack of emotions played, but this movie is quite entertaining.
I give this movie 3,5/5 stars!

Review - Hyde Park On Hudson

Image taken from imdb.com

As you can see in the picture this movie is about a well known President of USA - Franklin D Roosevelt (FDR). Starred by Bill Murray and Laura Linney, this movie is a slow drama. I never really like a slow drama, but somehow I manage watching this movie to the end.
FDR is a president who lives in his mother house, so this movie is filled with lots of women. It tells about all of the women around FDR , based on FDR diary found under his bed as it told in the end of the story.
Laura Linney acted as Daisy, a sweet country girl whom never know man before and she is one of FDR long cousins, and she has replaced the other cousins which somehow doesn't quite fit in the house in Hudson.

When Daisy was called to the house in Hudson she was thrilled and as the years go by Daisy and FDR had a grown relationships. FDR had a wife, which is eleanor and she lives in different house, but they seems to manage a good relationship.
The great essence that filled this movie is when the royal family of England came to visit FDR in Hudson, and somehow a problem come up and they have to choose to carry on or stand still in their ground. This movie will tell you that everything you see could be an illusion. A good boy is not always a good boy, and you have to see beyond what you see or you will be destroyed in your expectation.
You will see that people will always have options in their lives, and after taking the options you have to live with the consequences.
For a slow drama, I give this movie 3/5 stars!

Review - iron man 3

Watch this movie with couple of friends from work. There were 7 of us, 3women and 4 men. Anyway, i think i've watch Iron Man 1 and 2 but I really couldn't remember the story or maybe I never watch it before, going to find out if I can find the movie again.
Anyway, the story is about Tony Stark adventure, as always. The story tells about the demon that Tony creates about ten years before, and as a human being he doesn't realize that he has created demons. The demon he created eventually terrorize the whole world by creating a massive bomb explosion around the world. The enemy also hits one of Tony's close friend and also take pepper as a hostage. Tony's maturity and soft spot is one of the things highlighted in this movie, his panic attack is also highlighted in the movie as part of his human being. Every human being has their own problem, and only his/her.self that should conquer the problem to be a full winner.
Our eyes will be pampered with all the high-tech that Tony stark has, the special effect is also good. I also felt that the movie feels lighter than the others since there are lots of jokes and comedy along the movie, you won't feel like watching a two hours movie.
Tomorrow perhaps I would watch the.movie.again with son, if there are thins I forgot to mention in this blog, I would edit it on monday xp.
I give this movie 3,8 / 5 stars!
