Writing Angel

With a long list of movies coming up in 2009, what’s your pick for the year?

Over 700 movies are being released for 2009. Check out MovieWeb for a full list of the movies.

However, as for my Top 10 out of the list (not in order):

1. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (January) - Kate Beckinsale is hot

2. Inkheart (January) – got to love the story line

3. S. Darko (no release date announced) – I watched Donnie Darko a few days ago

4. Sherlock Holmes (November) – I guess because he is famous

5. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (July) – funny

6. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (no release date announced) – think Heath Ledger

7. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (June) – must watch the sequel

8. Angels & Demons (May) – If you like Da Vinci Code, this should be good

9. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (May) – Mutant is always interesting

10. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (July) – Ah.. JK Rowling.. Harry Potter.. Hermione.. and Ron..

Overall, I would say that 2009 is packed with great movies. A movie-goer like me would totally enjoy watching in the cinema, if only the cinema could have cheaper tickets or else, more $$$ fly away in 2009…

“A New Evil Awakens”

Last night, I watched The Mummy : Tomb of The Dragon Emperor and I was so glad that the movie is better than the game (the game for Wii has received many bad comments).

Anyway, with Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh (Malaysian born actress) who would get bored?

They are known to be the frontiers of martial arts after all, they have been acting in so many martial arts type of movies and The Mummy is definitely not a new challenge for them. Overall, they are still maintaining tip top performance in the movie, if not better.

I love Jet Li being the emperor. He is so good with his moves and the way he commands his soldiers is so energetic although he is not as fit as he used to. As for Anthony Wong, he is extremely popular in portraying evil or bad characters. I am pretty impressed that he can speaks mandarin pretty well in the movie, as Hong Kong people rarely speak Mandarin (they speak Cantonese).

Brendan Fraser is really good with his character (Rick O’Connell) but the only thing is that I find it awkward that he looks much younger than his wife (Evelyn), like his wife is his mother and his son (Alex) is his brother. Weird feeling..

I must say that there is just a bit of disappointing moments in the movie and I think those who really love adventures and actions must watch this movie. Not a very bad choice of movie if you want to watch with your lovers.
