Thank You For the 2011's Shaolin

I was just back from watching a very cool movie, Shaolin. Somehow I feel that I need to say thank you very much for every single person involved in its making..... Sounds too much? Not really.

As usual, I always love things which make me feel something, while this movie make me feel a lot of things. First of all, with Andy Lau starred in it, this movie certainly made me feel "I've got to see it!" Then, knowing Jackie Chan is also in this movie, I feel "It must be very interesting!" And when I've seen it, I think this movie is really amazing.

Since its tittle was Shaolin, I wasn't really surprised to see that this movie reminds me very much on Jet Li's type of Shaolin movies.... But imagine this; a very nice blend of Jet Li's type of Shaolin movies, with Jackie Chan's smooth & fresh details, plus the so Andy Lau movie's main character (him self, of course ^,^).... Hmmm.... So far, whatever I say was from 3 of the featured stars only, while this movie is so much more than that. I can say nothing more, but I LOVE IT VERY MUCH. ^_^

Still.... Not that I think this movie's perfect. I'm kind of disturbed with the scene when Westerner is about to bomb the temple. Why is it seems like he's got the idea of bombing the temple while he's already about to blow it?! .... Never mind. I still love it, and feel very much grateful of having the chance to see it. So, once again, thank you very much.

I don't know what to put here as its title

I've been busy lately with a couple of translations.... Two of them was quite interesting, although those two wasn't so me. Here is what I thought about those films.

"Beyond Our Ken" (HK 2004) has got a pretty surprising ending. Its characters were pretty interesting, though I don't agree with the end conclusion that there is no good man nor good woman in this world. I wonder why the writer could have such negative idea on human (imagine what would happen if those who watch this film is 100% dumb enough to believe in such idea?)....
"The Romantic Fool" (HK 2007) supposed to tell a very beautiful story *indeed the story is beautiful*, though it was a little bit too boring at the beginning. One thing in this film is so deceiving; the seems to be horror background, which I hate it *how could a romantic movie deliver such a scary ambiance?! Somehow it makes me feels like I still want to finish whatever I am doing in the bathroom, while someone keeps on knocking at the door, telling me to get out. Aaargh!!!*

Oh, well. I wouldn't say whatever I wrote here as a recommendation, for I am not 100% like them. But these two were pretty much interesting to watch for its stories was a little bit different.
 
Okay. I've got to get back to work. A couple of episodes from another drama series were still waiting for me. ^_^
