The Spy Next Door (2010; Genre: Comedy Action) Rating: 2/5

Jackie Chan as usual is back to kick ass bad guy in Comedy Action movie "The Spy Next Door". Audiences might be disappointed with "The Spy Next Door" as it is not the usual Jackie's movie with lots of action. The Spy Next Door is more settle and calm with only a few fighting scene.

The movie begins with compiled Jackie Chan past movie scenes stating him as a spy named, Bob Ho. Reaching his retirement age, Bob decides to settle down and falling in love with his neighbour, Gillian (Amber Valletta). However, fact doesn't say so as the "Bad Guy" Bob captured in the beginning of the movie escapes. Mean while, Gillian plans to visit his father who have fallen sick out town. Trusting Bob to take care of this children who hate Bob very much, Gillain leaves them without worries. However, Gillian's son downloaded the secret file sent by Bob partner and unfortunately being traced by the the "Bad Guy" and there the story begins.

Seeing it just like watching another version of "The Pacifier" starring Vin Diesel, but without the excitement which "the pacifier" has. The only interesting in The Spy Next Door is the fun and unique fighting choreograph while leaving the rest of the scene tasteless and boring. Yet, for Children the movie is enjoyable to watch, remembered and praised. The Spy Next Door is a entertainment for kids and only for kids. So you should spend your weekend taking your child to a cinema watching "The Spy Next Door" and have a good chat about it afterwards. The Spy Next Door is hilarious for kids but not suitable for serious adult. Audiences will love his funny and well developed fighting choreograph but not the story for this movie.

Shutter Island (2010; Genre: Drama Thriller) Rating: 3.5/5

Shutter Island is mind twisting movie that everyone will love to hate. For those who get the ending, they would probably love the movie, unfortunate for those who didn't get it.

Begins with a legendary war hero,Teddy Daniels ( Leonardo Di Caprio) with his partner Chuck Aule (Mark Buffalo), reaching the shutter island in search of missing patients. However, the behind the objective, Teddy is looking for evidence to expose the secret experiment in the shutter island while getting the revenge on Edward Laidis that killed his wife at the same time. Getting to the end of the movie, it's getting more interesting. However, you need to pay more attention as the movie gets to the climax and to the end. The mind twisting ending will surely surprise you like never before, so do the the ending that people mis-interpreted.

However, the way the movie is edited makes it so complicated to comprehend yet interesting to follow. For mystery lover, this movie must not be missed.

Received about 8/10 in imdb.com, it is up to you.

Little Big Soldier (2010; Genre: Action Comedy) Rating: 3 / 5

Starring Jackie Chan and Wang Lee Hom, with funny choreograph and interesting fight scene, this is obviously is an enjoyable movie.

Begins with ambushed Wei soldiers by Liang soldiers leaving a single man standing on both side which is Jackie Chan,a Liang's foot soldier and Lee Hom, a Wei's General. The liang foot soldier then captures the general hoping for rewards at home (Liang Shan). In their journey, Jackie Chan faces a lot of challenges in delivering the prisoner to the Liang's WarLord. As usual like many other Jackie's movie, the unique choreograph fight scene is surely entertaining so do interesting. Jackie purpose of making movie is to leave viewers to be happy when leaving the cinema and he surely accomplish it. Just three words come out from me "FUN and Enjoyable".

However, looking at the plot, it isn't strong enough to make viewers feeling excited as can be said "No surprise and mind twisting plot" or on the other words "Simple and Fun". If you are looking some sort of movie like 14 Blades and Red Cliff, well this movie might disappoint you.

Received 8/10 at imdb.com (21 February 2010), I am sure you will have a fun time watching it.

Here is the trailer:

Enjoy!

14 Blades (2010; Genre: Drama Action War) Rating : 3.5 / 5

14 Blades is heavy movie for Movie Goers. Starring Donnie Yen as Qing Long "the main character in the movie" the movie will obviously entertain viewers with his good fighting choreograph like many other movies he starred, Some of them are IP Man and Flash Point. If you love how Donnie Yen execute the choreograph in his previous movie then you may like this movie. However, this movie is heavy in the story which means complicated.

14 Blades is about Chinese Warrior "JinYiWei" who are trained from young to execute mission such as assassination, escort or even slaying traitor. Qing Long is one the best of the JinYiWei troops, supplied with a box contains 14 Blades and each blade serves different purpose such as the 14th blade is to end his own life if he failed the mission. After received a task which he realises in the mission that it will cause the whole nation to fallen apart, he betrays and barely escapes. Qing Long then continue his journey to retrieve his dignity back and return the imperial seal which is stolen during the mission he abandoned.

The story is very complicated and for some you may find it quite boring. However, Donnie Yen fighting scene will surely wakes you up. Donnie Yen character is well developed, however, the element of the story "Romantic" which isn't well developed or can be said leaving viewer with a flesh of mangoes and thrown away the fruit inside it.

Received 6.0 in Imdb. This movie is not bad.

For me I would give 3.5 out of 5, for well developed Qing Long Character and good choreograph but not for the underdeveloped romantic story that the writer trying to add in.

From Paris With Love (2010; Genre: Action Comedy) Rating : 4 / 5

From Paris with love is fast phased action movie. Starring John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, both collaborate perfectly in this movie.

Begins with peace introduction of James Reese character (Meyers) and the action begins non-stop till the end after Charlie Wax (John Travolta) appears. The need of achievement by James Reese resulting him joining Charlie Wax adventure in stopping terrorism in Paris land from bottom to the top and it is called "WAX ON, WAX OFF way". The story is fast and for action lovers, you won't regret it. Viewers are brought to a roller coaster ride and as I said it is fast phased movie, every seconds is a continuous scene of another action scene. Don't be fooled by the break of conversation between the action scene. The movie is not over untill Charlie Wax say so. If you are looking for a serious action movie like slow introduction and fully developed story. Then, this is not your choice, but I can say this movie is exciting, fun and worth spending a dime in cinema.

Received 6.1 in imdb.com. I am sure you will regret missing this movie.

Here is the trailer enjoy!

Legion (2010; Genre: Drama Action Fantasy) Rating: 1.5 / 5

Legion is about an angel who is sent to earth to end human destiny after God has lost faith in humanity. One of the angel "Michael" (Paul Bettany) believes that is not what the God wants while his friend Gabriel believes that His wish is His commands.

Mostly setting in the middle of desert. The movie starts in the middle of the city where the fallen angel "Michael" cut his wings and betray the God wish. Michael continue his journey to middle of the desert to save a young pregnant woman which he believes the coming baby will save the human kind and change God minds. The movie has action element in it yet the story isn't developed enough. Bringing viewers too quick into action scene without developing it further resulting the body of the story to be boring and filled with junk and corny dialog. The movie is a fail wannabe constantine. However, for viewers who love action, this movie is not bad.

Received only 18% in rottentomatoes.com. It's up to you to judge the movie.

Here is the trailer of the movie.

Its Complicated (2010; Genre: Romantic Comedy)

It's Complicated film is awesome.

Starring Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.

As reflected by the title, the movie is about a complicated love triangle relationships between Jane (Meryl), Jake (Alec) and Adam (Steve). AFFAIR story has never been so hilarious. Both Meryl and Alec really pull it out with tremendous good acting. The story started with divorced Jane which later finds out that her ex-husband "Jake" is looking forward to rebuild their relationships. Due to loneliness of empty nest and the urge to take care, Jane is having an "COMPLICATED" relationship with Jake while Adam as her architect is also attracted to Jane. Leaving Jane to choose between Jake or Adam, the story flows with funny scene mostly from Jake and the supporting character Harley (John Krasinski).

As the story dragged a long, some may find it a bit as the story of porn, mainly due to the main character "Jake" is always show up for a sex. Duh... LOL. Yet, it is entertaining.

Viewers may have different perspective and mix feeling towards the end. Well, the ending is generated for Movie goers to talk about after the movie ended.

Received 6.8/10 in IMDB.com and 57% on Rottentomatoes.com (19 January 2010) , well it is really up to you. I would say that this film is worth to watch it with your friends and lovely family.
