Most of us knows the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. He's well known for his ability solving mystery by observing small details.

The movie had an attractive trailer and I thought the movie will be great because the early reviews was too positive. So I went to watch it with high expectation. While I was watching, I realize I was wrong. There's too much talking and barely anything else to be enjoyed.

"Sherlock Holmes" was created around 1890 and this movie looks classical with modern filming technology. It can be seen from the trailer itself, I do like this kind of movies. However, "Sherlock Holmes" did not deliver to the expectation. I personally think "The Legend Of Zorro," "Shanghai Knights" and "Public Enemies" have better visuals to display previous century. "Sherlock Holmes" sets in old London and I believe they should have worked more on the visuals.

I felt sleepy and the only reason I was awake was because of the humors. There aren't many but they have it all in right places. Maybe to keep people to be awake, LOL. Watching this movie felt like reading plain novel for the sake of reading.

"Sherlock Holmes" has adventure, mystery and some action. All these different elements mixed up without balance in one detective movie and runs for two hours. I would classify this movie nothing but drama. I could not find anything to admire about this movie except for the acting and humors.

The poster does not look cool, neither does the trailer. I decided to watch this movie after I saw "Behind The Scenes" footages on Sony's AXN Channel. Well this movie does give everything promised on the footage. The tough training the cast (especially Rain) went through is totally worth it.

The introduction part contains too much flashbacks. It shifts frequently between Raizo's past and present time. This movie is easy to understand and the story line seems to be written in simple way. The original script was not good enough and they decided to make new draft, six weeks before the production. The total writing hours of the new script was only 53 hours. The whole movie runs for about 100 minutes with some predictable points.

This movie is extremely violent. The blood splits everywhere. The ninjas in this movie are heartless killer and they kill brutally, with or without sword. There's line "I have no heart" by Raizo, before Kiriko proves we all do have heart and his heart is looking for him. Hmm...

This movie does not have good story line and acting. However, "Ninja Assassin" deserves high rating because of the action flicks and stunts. Most probably they spent too much concern on the ninjas scenes and not the casting. Bloody battles are largely included. It's fast paced too, so I should say fast and furious, LOL. But this time, it's about ninja and their martial arts.

This movie is about revenge, most action movies these days are about the same thing. There are two sides seeking revenge. One caused by love and another caused by betrayal. Both collides and the movie has an excellent cinematography. Fast motion and slow motion are all used in right timing.

Wherever you are, wherever you may go, you must never forget who you are and how you came to be. - Ozunu

Here's the most hyped movie of the year, with high demand on the box office. I watched it and I think it's 100 times better than any summer movies we had this year, except for "Fast & Furious." The reason I'm comparing it with other summer movies mainly because this movie was originally scheduled for the summer. However, they changed the release date because there's possibility of getting higher profits on November. Besides that, they spent more time on production which I believe was worth it. The trailer on YouTube reached 8 million views in about 6 months and has about 51,000 comments and average rating of 4.5 by 22,000 users. Once I saw the trailer, it was hard to resist the movie. =P

It's the most breathtaking catastrophe movie until now! The movie runs for 2 hours and 40 minutes. There are few lessons we can learn from this movie. It touches variety themes such as love, friendship and family. I can elaborate that part but do not want to reveal anything, hehe. It has good choice of casts and actings are quite emotional. All of them whom I have not seen on the big screen.

The visual effects are stunning and it's the most remarkable element in this movie. They look realistic, unlike in other movies where you can easily discover they are computer generated. Certain scenes are really horrific.

I like the soundtrack video, "Time For Miracles" by Adam Lambert. I'm not Adam Lambert fan but I know he's great singer. Below here, I have posted the official music video. There are extra scenes from the movie, an additional to the trailer.

Most critics and reviews compares this movie with another movie called "A Day After Tomorrow." It has the same director and involves catastrophic effects. I have not seen that movie, I do not really much like these kind of movies. However, 2012 turns to be good choice for November entertainment. =)

By the way, catastrophic means sudden violent change on the earth's surface.

Today we are one family. - President Thomas Wilson

Have lot of work to do and I'm having lack of sleep, yet I put off everything aside to watch this movie. What made it special? It runs only for 2 weeks and I do not want to miss the final curtain call which the world is witnessing. I'm not huge fan of Michael Jackson (MJ) yet I watched this movie because it's him, he inspires people to inspire others.

I have not seen any MJs footages or interviews. I know him for the song I have heard, for his fame and of course, the mysteries. This movie took me closer to know MJ, who turns out to be completely different and more than I thought he is.

I have not even seen any MJ's official music videos and if the moviegoers haven't either, they will find the "Earth Song" is the most touching part in the movie. The video they shot for it was beautiful and so does the song! It showed MJ cares about the planet Earth and it's the reason he wrote the song. By the way, if he's alive, I think he would go through hard time watching what's happening not only in his life but the natures too.

I love the "Smooth Criminal" part of the movie, it's the best one. Actually, besides Thriller, it's the only song I have in my playlist. Once I got back from watching the movie, I looked for MJ CD's online. After scrolling through one website for his complete discography, I have decided going to get his CD entitled King of Pop, which contains the studio version of the songs in the rehearsal. Now, that goes to the current wish list, hehe.

"This Is It" is the concert which had marvelous rehearsal and masterpiece music, yet it's the concert never happen. It's how Sony described the rehearsal footage and bought it for 60 million dollars. Out of that, came this big screen musical movie, edited from 100 hours of the whole set. The concert suppose to go live at London's O2 Arena.

Before the movie got released formally, premiers has been held on selected locations around the globe. The best premier was in Los Angeles, CA. The reason was because there was Jennifer Lopez, Will Smith, Paula Abdul, Ashley Tisdale (I'm not High School Musical fan! Though it has the same director) and more others. Two of the best people there was Jennifer Love Hewitt with Jamie Kennedy, I saw the photos showing them wearing MJ T-Shirts. The Los Angeles premier was held on Oct 27, 2009. I watched the movie here at local cinema in Malaysia, on Oct 29. In London, Westlife attend the British premier.

It's not only MJ caught the audience attention in this movie. It's the whole crew involved in the rehearsal. They were all perfectionist, especially the male and female guitarist. If you had them in one rock band, you can surely blast off. =D

By the way, the female guitarist was hot and incredible! Her name is Orianthi Panagaris and she's Greek-Australian guitarist. She even has her own songs, quite nice. Together with the other crew, they sang during MJ's memorial. It was beautiful and can be watched in YouTube.

The first thing I hate in this movie is MJ's collection of wardrobe. There's too much blinking stuff and it's all made specially for MJ? Oh it's really annonying to see those stuff. The second thing was, certain footages are not in good quality. It's still acceptable because they were not meant for movie filming.

Despite all that MJ's gone through in his life including aging, he still sang well and danced like he always does. His performance always remarkable, it's why people love to watch him.

Hmm, at least I'm glad MJ had the chance to spent time around people who loves and cares about him (the crews) before he was gone. Those people respect MJ and their life became so meaningful for them, for being able to work together with MJ on the stage. They are like one family and live by Love. Exactly the way MJ wanted. :)

MJ left the world in June 25. Since then, he has made 90 million dollars. Higher than Elvis Presley, who made 55 million dollars since he passed away.
