Make people who pursue a career in the world of film, could engage the Hollywood film production is certainly a tantalizing dream. Just imagine how enthusiastic the stunt was when they were invited for an audition stunt double for a Hollywood film production.

Unfortunately sometimes reality is not as beautiful as in a dream. When the stuntman was already come, they were absolutely not required to audition. Instead, they've even had to fight furiously in an isolated place against an enemy they do not know. Yes, they have to fight because the gamblers are betting deep pockets for them.

Now, would not want a group full of dreams stuntman must mobilize all resources to survive. They could not have refused to fight because one of them being held as collateral. If they refuse to fight, this hostage will be killed. The only way is to fight and fight until none are left anymore fighter.

The victory of the communist party of China to make Ip Man (Donnie Yen) were forced to leave his family and moved to Hong Kong. Master Wing Chun martial managed to land safely in the land of this British colony about the year 1949. Arriving in Hong Kong, Ip Man still must find a way to survive in this new country. The only way is to establish universities Wing Chun. Unfortunately this is not an easy business.

Wing Chun is not a typical martial arts in Hong Kong. Despite getting help from a friend who let his place be used as a gym but still could not bring in Ip Man pupil. Ip Man's fate changed when he met Leung Wong (Huang Xiaoming). Wong, who originally challenged the science of Ip Man to compete even Ip Man eventually became disciples.

Problems not over till here. It turned out to open a martial arts university in Hong Kong there are requirements that must be met by Ip Man. Ip Man had to wait on the challenges of the Warrior Kung Fu in Hong Kong before the deemed worthy of teaching Kung Fu. One of the Kung Fu warrior that must be faced by Ip Man is a Hung Gar (Sammo Hung) who turned out to have as good science by Ip Man.

Once the problem is finished, Ip Man still must be confronted with the oppression of the ruling British Government in Hong Kong at that time. Again Ip Man must use his martial knowledge to serve the Twister (Darren Shahlavi), England's ferocious fighter.

As a sequel, IP MAN 2 is still not far from the 'soul' of the first film. The theme still remains a matter of nationalism, against oppression. If in the first part of the Ip Man had to deal with the Japanese government that invaded China, this time Ip Man had to deal with the British government, represented by the figure of this boxer named Twister.

It's also not something that surprised because most Asian films have always focused on the problem of 'feeling'. Director usually use dramatic scene as a means to involve the audience into the film, in contrast to the western method that uses the story plot, characterizations and dialogue as a means to involve the audience.

If the plot is predictable then that can become a weapon clearly is a character and visualization of the story itself. About this one, it seems the IP MAN 2 is still pretty good. Like the first section, while the election visualization convincing enough as an actor Donnie Yen Ip Man it's also very appropriate. If Jet Li became synonymous with the Wong Fei Hung can be said is Ip Man Donnie Yen.

Fight choreography is also very satisfactory and this can already be predicted from the beginning. Sammo Hung is not new in the world in the world of film and martial arts and film IP MAN 2 This is the proof. Sammo Hung and Donnie Yen could use the expertise optimally and result is very admirable.

Detective Manfred (Leon Lai) is stubborn. He never let a case through unsolved. Dedication of this work made him known as the police net, but at the same time the dedication of these things that made him get involved in complicated involving many people in high places.

At first only because Manfred would not give up investigating the murder of a prostitute. At the scene apparently found traces of DNA of one of his police officers and make this police became the prime suspect in his murder case. Manfred thinks this is too easy and try to dig deeper.

Without being asked, Kee (Richie Ren) who actually served in the narcotics offer assistance. The desire to help which was not logical anymore this time to make Manfred suspicious but he had no evidence to support suspicions of this. Manfred realizes that she can no longer rely on anyone because in situations like these friends and foes are something that can not be clearly seen.

Without his knowledge, the cases he investigated it turned out to involve many people in the upper class. When Manfred successfully conclude this case the good name of Hong Kong police will be tarnished. Can Manfred resolve this case?

Good cop, bad cop is one of the topics most frequently used in Hong Kong films. This time again we were treated to the work of director Dante Lam who took this topic. Not just taking the same topic with the previous films, but this movie can say is follow the pattern of generic movie with a theme like this. There is no mystery. No questions were mounting and make the audience wait until the end of the movie. Everything is almost palpable depicted since the beginning of the film.

Nothing wrong was because this movie was made not to burden the audience with a bunch of question marks. Dante Lam would like to invite the audience to have fun. The trick? Regale shooting, explosions, dang each blow. Again this is not an error because the action movie is about action and the story line was not too important.

About acting, no one is too prominent. Duo Leon Lai and Richie Ren plays quite sufficient even though it seems it's not their fault entirely. Looks like the script did not allow them to do much. The proof of the two main characters are apparently not dealt with cooked so it is more memorable as the characters are two dimensional that suddenly appear and then disappear again.

Cracks logic is also quite a lot and it became evidence that actual storyline was not too important. He just there to assemble a number of dramatic scene that is already there in the mind of the director.

True Legend

Posted by admin | 2:06 PM | | 0 comments »


Su Qi-Er (Man Cheuk Chiu) is a wealthy man who lived in the Qing dynasty. Wealth is clearly a target of many people who want to master the wealth. Not a few who would do evil to destroy Su Qi-Er with all sorts of ways. To ensure this plan is successful, a conspiracy was designed. Finally, Su Qi-Er was successfully slandered and richly finished. The man who originally was rich in an instant lost all his property. Fortunately Yuan Ying (Xun Zhou), his wife, remains faithful to assist Su Qi-Er even though her husband has become poor and became a beggar. Had lost everything he had made Su Qi-Er burning grudge.

Su Qi-Er then dedicated his life to learn kung fu and eventually managed to rise, not as a millionaire, as before, but as a powerful warrior. Su Qi-Er and then choose a beggar with a fight against evil and injustice around him. He became known as the King of Beggars. Legend of the King of Beggars is not a new story. TRUE LEGEND At least this is the third film that tried to Rata Penuhexplore the life story of the famous swordsman with magic tricks that drunk. But do not compare this film with his Drunken Master Jackie Chan or the King of his Beggar Stephen Chow because of the three films seem to TRUE LEGEND is going to be the worst.

Actually, if for mere entertainment, not something wrong with this TRUE LEGEND. Offered ideas simple enough. Chronology of the story is easily understood and certainly a lot of fight scenes of Hong Kong-style movie that would spoil the eye. But if you expect to get satisfaction from the power flow of the story, acting and characterizations are strong, this movie probably is not the right choice.

Yuen Woo-Ping, the director, it still provides excellent martial arts movie although this time fight scenes seem too forced, so inevitably appear dull impression. No one stands out from the side as well as Michelle Yeoh's acting appears only briefly and can not do much for this movie. What's worse, Yuen Woo-Ping did not seem to hesitate to leap into the future so that the formation of a weak character, and consequently no strong bond between the characters with the audience.


In war, the ingenuity also needed. In fact, in certain cases, ingenuity can save lives. Perhaps this principle also held by an infantry soldier of the kingdom of Liang, who was played by Jackie Chan this. With the same ingenuity he had survived the massacre and he even succeeded in holding a general opponent. These foot soldiers are very clever. He has special skills that are always saved him from death. He was good at pretending to be dead. In fact, he also designed a special instrument that made her look like arrows pierced death. When the role is over, this clever soldiers 'rose from the dead' and started looking for shelter. Not unexpectedly, he found a general of the kingdom of Wei, played by Wang Leehom.

Once again this proves infantryman cleverness. When he managed to bring back the general's opponents are certain he will receive a prize from the king. Unfortunately this time the warrior cunning plan did not go smoothly. Throughout the trip I could not help the soldiers and the general must hand in hand just to survive. Twenty years have Jackie Chan for the film delayed BIG LITTLE SOLDIER this. It is unclear why he had to postpone this project for it but for sure LITTLE BIG SOLDIER finally managed to reach the theater. Apart from the delay this long enough, there is one thing that is interesting from a project initiated by Jackie Chan this. Policies Jackie Chan.

Jackie originally intended to take the role of the general but over time, Jackie would have given this role at Leehom Wang and sly take on the role of soldiers. Not only that, but Jackie is known as a martial arts movie star with a big heart also provides most of the fight scenes in this Leehom even tricked by the use of CGI given the age of Jackie who was no longer young.

The basic idea was not too fresh. Several western movies have been revealed on the same theme, including 48 HRS. and Midnight RUN. It's okay as long as the director may make it a spectacle of fresh and not boring. And from that side, Sheng Ding director quite successful. LITTLE BIG SOLDIER not trapped so something cliched and boring.Of course it is not separated from the chemistry between Jackie Chan and Wang Leehom well established. Although these two different characters initially hostile, but a shift in the direction of friendship go smoothly no forced. Finally, without the political burden, and the colossal battle romance sub-plot which is usually a mandatory ingredient, LITTLE BIG SOLDIER could be more exciting spectacle.

Golden Village Pictures film genre action which was directed by Tony Ching Siu Tung. As usual flavor of romance is always stuck between action and intrigue that occurs in the kingdom. There is no indication that describes approximately how many stories in this century occurred. But the film seems to emphasize the story is more than the accuracy of setting. Elegant costume design and choreography battle remains the main menu on this film

The first of three theatrical features, Naruto Shippuden--the Movie (2007) provides a visually striking, action-packed introduction to the second series of adventures of ninja-in-training Naruto Uzumaki. Sinister ninja use black magic medical jutsu to raise the spirit of the long-imprisoned demon Moryo. If Moryo's body is also resurrected, he will establish a Thousand Year Kingdom that will mean the end of life on Earth as humans know it. Only Shion, the priestess of the Land of Ogres, can stop Moryo by keeping his body sealed within a hidden temple. A special squad from the Village Hidden in the Leaves--Neji, Sakura, Rock Lee, and Naruto--is assigned to protect Shion on her journey there.

Director Hajime Kamegaki uses CG to create a terracotta army copied from the celebrated figures from Emperor Qin Shi Huang's tomb in Xian. The scenes of marching clay automatons, impervious to ordinary weapons, pack a real punch, although they don't always blend with the drawn characters. Kamegaki balances these dire threats with plenty of physical comedy: Naruto boasts and blunders and stumbles; Rock Lee defeats his foe after eating a liquor-filled chocolate, re-creating his version of Jackie Chan's "drunken fist" technique in the "Chase for Sasuke" story arc.

For Naruto fans, the movie is a must-have. (Rated Teen+ Older Teen, but suitable for ages 12 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

Everyone thought that Ozunu Clan, a clan assassins who will not hesitate to kill a life, is a myth that living in the community for hundreds of years. But myth is something tangible for Raizo (Rain) as Raizo is part of Ozunu Clan. Raizo is one of this clan killing machine. Raizo has become part of this clan since he was a child. Raizo kidnapped this group and for many years trained to be an effective killing machine. One mistake is to kill Ozunu good friend and Raizo this tragic event makes Raizo a large group of enemies who never knew this existed. Raizo vowed to avenge his friend and fled from Ozunu Clan.

At the same time, a Europol agent named Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris) believes that there is a syndicate assassins from the Far East related to a series of murders of political officials in many countries. Ryan did not heed the commands of Maslow (Ben Miles), his boss, Mika continued investigation. Clan Ozunu who know that their existence Mika suspect then ordered Takeshi (Rick Yune) to eliminate this agency Europol. If without the help Raizo, Mika could have died at the hands of Takeshi. Had no other choice, now Mika can only rely on the help of gang Raizo to roll this dangerous killer.

Long enough nor is there an action movie that tells about ninjas. Ninja movie itself popular in the 1980s and then a lot of films have tried to uncover the mystery cults that never existed in Japan. Create a ninja who had idolized this film probably could be a refresher for your thirst while NINJA Assassin mention this as a spectacular film still seems not quite right. There are some weaknesses of this film and it seems to be a trademark for most of the movie countrymen. The first plot is less well-organized so that there was leakage of logic here and there. Too many coincidences that disrupt the elements of this logic was quite annoying because ultimately this film is like soap opera that just happens to be embracing the concept of the key to everything.

The decision to use as the main actor Rain seemed too trends based on the appearance of using Asian stars who later grew rampant. To be honest it was not much help because in addition had no acting background is sufficient, Rain also appear to be experiencing difficulties in terms of language. As a result only one secret weapon that can still be used as a film director James McTeigue is action action and visual treat. Although really only using CGI techniques, but the fight scenes are bloody does look pretty good. Clear the martial arts film fans will be satisfied. For a film that reportedly cost only about U.S. $ 50 million, NINJA Assassin can certainly say that a good visual treat. Karl Walter Lindenlaub as cameraman seemed to understand was how to present a good visual treat with the cost not too high.

The Warrior & The Wolf

In the days before the unification of China have dispatched thousands of soldiers to conquer the areas that still have not staging. Adventure into this new area sometimes do not always bring good results. In the case of Lu Chenkang (Joe Odagiri), he had to deal with the tribe of Harran who did have a unique ability. Lu Chenkang was a brave soldier. Unlike the other soldiers began to lose his humanity on the battlefield, Lu just did not enjoy killing the art of this. He is very skilled on the battlefield but he always tried to suppress the animal instinct in him as much as Rata Penuhpossible. But all that soon changed when General Zhang Anliang (Tou Chung-hua), Lu leader was badly wounded.

General Zhang Anliang badly injured just before the winter comes and Lu was forced to take over temporary leadership. When Lu took his troops into a tribal-inhabited village of Harran, Lu met a woman who could bring Lu to places never imagined before. According to the tribe of Harran, in ancient times, humans actually originated from wolves, and until now still has a special relationship with this animal.

One that distinguishes the Asian films including Mandarin films storyline is the placement in the third position after the impression and conveyed a moral message movie. Benefits achieved from this technique is that the film has a touch of very strong emotional but at the same time there are losses that arise. Because the same techniques and logic in the film itself was not formed.

The Warrior AND THE WOLF is adapted from a story by Yasushi Inoue's director Tian Zhuangzhuang which also serves as a screenwriter of this film. The result is a combination of fighting in a war with the relationship 'unique' between Lu with a mysterious woman played by Maggie Q. The plot itself was very confusing because there was an odd relationship to highlight two different people.
