My Review:
The story plot is lame. Return kuku staff to kuku monkey king. Go from point A to B. Inbetween, fight enemy, show off some kung fu stunt. Final boss is a guy who use magic + kung fu. So imba la. Watch it if you like Jackie chan, Jet li or cute mei mei… I forgot her name. But she is chio. LOL.
The blockbuster global “Mummy” franchise takes a spellbinding turn as the action shifts to Asia for the next chapter in the adventure series, “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.” Brendan Fraser returns as explorer Rick O’Connell to combat the resurrected Han Emperor (Jet Li) in an epic that races from the catacombs of ancient China high into the frigid Himalayas. Rick is joined in this all-new adventure by son Alex (newcomer Luke Ford), wife Evelyn (Maria Bello) and her brother, Jonathan (John Hannah). And this time, the O’Connells must stop a mummy awoken from a 2,000-year-old curse who threatens to plunge the world into his merciless, unending service.
Doomed by a double-crossing sorceress (Michelle Yeoh) to spend eternity in suspended animation, China’s ruthless Dragon Emperor and his 10,000 warriors have laid forgotten for eons, entombed in clay as a vast, silent terra cotta army. But when dashing adventurer Alex O’Connell is tricked into awakening the ruler from eternal slumber, the reckless young archaeologist must seek the help of the only people who know more than he does about taking down the undead: his parents.
As the monarch roars back to life, our heroes find his quest for world domination has only intensified over the millennia. Striding the Far East with unimaginable supernatural powers, the Emperor Mummy will rouse his legion as an unstoppable, otherworldly force…unless the O’Connells can stop him first. Now, in “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor,” the trademark thrills and visually spectacular action of the “Mummy” series will be redefined for a new generation.

My Review:
The movie story plot a bit sian. If you got watch the thrailer, you will see 2 faction of undead army fighting each other. Haven you saw this scene from Lord Of The Ring? And the dragon emperor damn imba (imbalance) la. He can control 5 element. But he keep using fire ball and the ice spike attack. Both like so lousy lor. Like a level 99 character use a level 10 spell. See liao also sian. Then got lame things la. Like what shapeshifting and Yeti. Lame. Damn Imbalance. LOL.
But still some parts are quite nice. Like the fireworks battle. That one damn chio lor. The cute mei mei call Yin is quite a eye candy for the guys. And their are various jokes inside the movie which was funny. But most of the joke you can see it on the thrailer on youtube. Watch different version of the thrailer on youtube (I was trying to find a clearer version of the thrailer for you all to see. End up see some different version one. Show different joke. LOL.)
Overall nothing very impressive but still watchable. The fireworks is far better than what you can see on National Day. Boom~~~. LOL. Lots of Computer Graphics involved so the special effects were not bad. Headless horse running FTW.
Devastated upon receiving the news that her husband has been killed in a tragic car accident, a woman wakes up to find him still very much alive as she begins to slip into a confusing world where the past and the future become increasingly difficult to distinguish. Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock) was an average housewife with a loving family, but when a policeman comes knocking on her door with news that her husband, Jim (Julian McMahon), was involved in a fatal car accident, Linda’s world slowly begins to unravel.
While her grief is at first overwhelming, Linda assumes that the whole thing was nothing more than a vivid dream when she wakes to find her family still very much intact. With each passing day, however, Linda’s reality shifts and her circumstances grow increasingly surreal; one day Jim is dead and the next he is right there by her side.
As her investigation leaves her convinced that her husband’s death wasn’t a dream and that her picture-perfect life may not have been quite as flawless as she thought, Linda embarks on a mind-bending journey to prevent her grim premonition from becoming a reality. Now, in order to save the man she loves, Linda will have to piece together a perplexing mystery that seems to span two separate planes of reality. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

My Review:
Another LJ show. The thrailer seems very attractive. Like maybe her husband death is a conspiracy. Maybe is something supernatural. End up they never explain it why she got such premonition. I thought maybe she got mental problem. End up she is not mentally ill wor. So the whole concept its not explained. The main point of the movie is about how the actress react and make her choice. There is just too many flaws and question for the movie. Too many loop hole.

My Review:
This movie I personally like it a lot. It tells the story in the perspective of 8 different person. So most of the scene will keep repeating. At 1st like after showing 2 to 3 person, I thought it will be quite boring to see this shit 8 time. But after 3rd person they will start to reveal a lot of things. For example, one guy saw his girlfriend flirting with another guy. But when the story is told in the flirting guy point of view, you will actually found out that the women actually kidnap his brother and the flirting action you saw at 1st was actually the women treatening the guy.
The whole movie contains lot of unexpected turns. A lot of things when you 1st saw it you will predict is this way. But from another guy point of view then you will see the shocking truth. The whole terrorist attack was very well plan. I like to see smart people having smart plans.
The story of RED CLIFF takes place in 208 AD in China during the Han Dynasty. Despite the presence of an emperor, Han Xiandi, China was then divided into many warring states.
The ambitious Prime Minister Cao Cao, by using the Emperor as his puppet, waged war on a kingdom in the west, Xu, ruled by the emperor’s uncle, Liu Bei. Cao Cao’s ultimate goal was to wipe out all the kingdoms and install himself as Emperor to a unified China. Liu Bei sent his military advisor Zhuge Liang as an envoy to the Wu Kingdom in the south, trying to persuade its ruler Sun Quan into joining forces. There he met Wu’s Viceroy Zhou Yu, and the two became friends amidst this uneasy alliance.
Enraged to learn that the two kingdoms have become allies, Cao Cao sent an army of eight hundred thousand soldiers and two thousand ships down south, hoping to kill two birds with one stone. Cao Cao’s army set up camp at Crow Forest, across the Yangtze River from Red Cliff, where the allies were stationed.
With the food supply running short, and the army vastly outnumbered by Cao Cao’s, the allies seemed doomed. Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang had to rely on their combined wisdom to turn the tide of battle. Numerous battles of wits and forces, on land and on water, eventually culminated into the most famous battle in Chinese history, where two thousand ships were burned, and the course of China’s history was changed forever. That was the Battle of Red Cliff.
