It is very enjoyable. The cinematography is slightly edgy. There's even a cameo from Arnold and Bruce Willis.

Go watch it just for the pure action. 7/10 gun-trotting popcorns. :mrgreen:



Looks like I will have to settle for The Expendables ..

The Expendables (2010)

Barney Ross leads the "Expendables", a band of highly skilled mercenaries including knife enthusiast Lee Christmas, martial arts expert Yin Yang, heavy weapons specialist Hale Caesar, demolitionist Toll Road and loose-cannon sniper Gunner Jensen.

When the group is commissioned by the mysterious Mr. Church to assassinate the merciless dictator of a small South American island, Barney and Lee head to the remote locale to scout out their opposition.

Once there, they meet with local rebel Sandra and discover the true nature of the conflict engulfing the city. When they escape the island and Sandra stays behind, Ross must choose to either walk away and save his own life - or attempt a suicidal rescue mission that might just save his soul.

A bit disappointed with the movie as I had high expectation from such an expensive cast ie. Stallone, Jet Li and the guy from Transporter ..

But it was still quite entertaining although the story was a bit too shallow ...

Ha Ha ... I just watched "The Last Airbender" and quite like it.

Maybe it's the low expectation. Maybe because it's in 3D. Maybe it's the nice sceneries. Maybe it's the special effects ..

Maybe because I'm still a child ;)

Both are enjoyable too :)

I went in with too much expectation and was a bit disappointed.

The writer of story probably know something about Mind Control.

Supposedly, one can plant ideas into another person ( eg. whether to hire you for a job ), when he's most relaxed ie at his alpha state ( dreaming ) ...

Hidden Content:

Just watched Resident Evil:After Life.

Big disappointment. Even though its a sci-fi movie, the story is full of loopholes. The first 15mins was good, but it all went downhill from there. :(
