watched 4 movies this holiday. :)

Bodyguards n Assassins.
i thought it's a very meaningful movie - how the 5 ordinary bodyguards protected Sun Yat-Sen and the recognition of their important role in the revolution of 1911. the bodyguards sacrificed themselves one by one without even knowing who they r protecting. i cried at the end when the son was brutally murdered by the assassin. i felt sad for the father - it's a dilemma btw ur son vs ur country. btw nicholas tse acted well n donnie yen fighted beautifully. not to miss leon lai's funny n ridiculous hairstyle. :p
My rating: i like! watch it!

Avatar.
another blockbuster directed by James Cameron since "Titanic". dear claimed it's the best movie he has ever watched in 2009. hmmm..i think it's a good movie but not the best for me. hehe. i like the story. the graphic. the Na'vi ppl n their culture. but i thought the ending was a bit too fairy-tale-ish - it would b more realistic n complete if the main actor died. n the newspapers has also commented that the movie has a lot of similarities to the studio ghibli collections e.g. princess mononoke, laputa n valley of the wind. but no doubt it's a successful movie.
My rating: good. interesting. hav to give face to Titanic n u dun wan to b outdated.

Sherlock Holmes.
one of my favourite characters of all times - a very smart n talented detective. i used to listen to the cassette n read his story when i was much younger. scary but interesting - how he solved all the mysteries. so i have already liked this movie even before i watched it. :p n dunno why this movie reminded me of harry potter movie. heh.
My rating: not bad. didnt regret.

Treasure Hunter.
eric tsang was funny - "you no good! you no good!" :p dao-ming chen was good. chiling lin was pretty. n that's all. nothing else but a lot of "lebih" ppl. a weak plot n a lot of things were not explained properly. leaving gaps here n there with no climax. the mission seemed easy as well- one minute they were outside in the dessert n the next minute they were already inside the lost city, with no difficulties. i think i totally missed the whole point of the movie. if there's one.
My rating: you no good! you no good!

wan to watch:
The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus.
14 Blades.
