Movie still retain the same cheeky old Indiana Jones flavour. But I must admit the flavour tasted better back then. Story line has no suprises. I guess, back then we were not so demanding.
My partner commented that The Kingdom of Crystal Skull is very much the English version of Hong Kong movie "Legend of the Golden Pearl" (卫斯理传奇) . Similar conspiracy. Same ending scene where the aliens went back home in a spaceship while Indy / Wesley watches on.

Movie Review : The 11th Hour
I just finished watching The 11th Hour over the weekend. It was unlike any of the movies we watch at cinemas, its a documentary narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio. No wonder it did not made it to Malaysia cinemas... the cinema operators would be losing money coz its a pretty long and factful documentary, and there are too many people giving lectures.
Nevertheless, this is a good one that I would recommend everyone to watch. The first movie of this sort that I have watched was The Inconvenient Truth by US Former Vice President Al Gore. The 11th Hour is the second DVD that I watched relating to global warming and environmental crisis.
Its call the 11th hour bcoz human does not have much time left. I like the part where Leonardo says human tend to perceive events in a silo manner.. the Tsunami Disaster, Hurricane Katrina, and recently China's earthquake, Myanmar's Cyclone. Even Malaysia is no longer a safe haven with the recent earthquake at Tawau. All these are mere symptoms that our earth is sick, and something has to be done quickly.
The content is good, however it will be more effective if they film it like Armageddon kinda movie. In that way, the global warming disastrous effect will be better understood.
I particularly like the idea where every building must be self-sustainable, like a tree. A tree uses soil and sunlight to generate O2. Then when its leaf wither, it falls to the ground, and is absorb back by the tree as fertiliser. Similarly, each building must be like a tree. The future buildings must be able to generate energy from sunlight and wind or other renewable sources. Buildings would also have the ability to reuse waste and generate it back.
A very hopeful and interesting idea, dont you think so ?

The Seeker : The Dark is Rising
The consequences of not reading reviews before going for a movie ---- you pay 10 bucks to suffer two miserable hours in the cinema.
yes... i think The Seeker is that bad. I can only give a one star rating. It's a kid's movie - not the type anyone should pay to watch. Its kinda like Narnia ..... I swear to stay away from kiddy movies for a long long time.
My partner was more unforgiving, he slept through half of the movie. Lucky thing he didnt snore. After movie, he was complaining non-stop for the rest of the night on how boring the movie was.

Movie Review : Next
Last weekend, went to watch Next.. the one with Nicholas Cage. At best,, I can only give it 2.5 star rating.... pretty boring story line, especially for those who have watched Deja Vu earlier.
Movie wasn't fast pace enough for an action movie. It was not interesting enough to be sci-fi either. It's just those kind of so-so movie for movie-goers who wanna see Nicholas Cage. I used to like Nicholas Cage's movie, especially the City of Angels. But after this, i think i dont feel like wanna see his face for a long, long time.
