A few days ago, I attended the movie screening of 'Meet Miss Anxiety' , and it was a fruitful one. I got the pleasure to be one of the first few to catch this preview, all thanks to Clover films .

'The Taking of Tiger Mountain' is a Chinese-Hong Kong 3D epic action film which is based on the novel, 'Tracks in the Heavy Forest' by Qu Bo. This movie is also Tsui Hark's latest 3D legendary battle during a period of one of the many Chinese civil wars. Personally, I found the balance between the reality and fantasy setting, which t he movie tries to portray a little off and lacking. This was probably due to the movie being his first one with a historical setting. Nevertheless, it was pretty entertaining, and it may not be a classic Tsui film but definitely a decent one! There is some slo-mo shots meant to justify the price of 3D for those who paid extra to see it with the additional dimension. Hong Kong veteran, Tony Leung acts as a villain in the show. His outfit is very flashy, which also is shown on his eight personal warriors, as they were decked out in very prominent and colorful costumes. However, on the other hand, the protagonists of the mov...

I finally got some complimentary tickets from Mr Popcorn, Golden Village. It has been a long time since I watch western movies as lately, I have been watching quite a number of Asian movies, which I was kindly invited to by Clover Films.     After a long hiatus of twenty years, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are back together again in Dumb and Dumber To , and it is the sequel to the 1994 smash movie, Dumb and Dumber . The two characters, Harry and Lloyd have become the favorite comedy icons / idols due to the portrayal by Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. The original movie has since become a classic.   They reprise their signature roles as Harry Dunne and Lloyd Christmas in Dumb and Dumber To , but sadly to say, this sequel is almost an entire recycled plot as the previous installment.   After so many years, Jim Carrey is still one of the better comedians in the movie industry.      SPOILER ALERT! The movie st...
