Run, Fatboy, Run!
|
Posted on 02 June 2008What happened Simon Pegg? Pegg’s new vehicle, Run, Fatboy, Run, has all the intensity of an average television sitcom.
The Nanny Diaries
|
Posted on 02 June 2008In the shadow of the Devil Wears Prada comes The Nanny Diaries, of similar chick lit calibre, with big names like Laura Linney, Scarlett Johansson’s watermelon bosoms and Alicia Keys.
Superhero Movie
|
Posted on 02 June 2008If you’re a fan of Date Movie, Scary Movie and Epic Movie, chances are you’re going to watch Superhero Movie without really needing a review to tell you if the movie is any good.
Apa Kata Hati?
|
Posted on 03 June 2008Having high expectations is forgivable when you watch a movie directed by the guy who did Puteri Gunung Ledang.
Kung Fu Panda
|
Posted on 09 June 2008Kung Fu Panda had all odds working against it – a stereotyped Oriental base, a big name cast, the reminiscence of the Jack Black–Angelina Jolie collaboration from A Shark’s Tale, a trailer of cheesy slapstick, and did I mention, Jack Black?
The Happening

Posted on 16 June 2008People kill themselves en masse. We're talking about what happens in M Night Shyamalan's new movie, not what happens outside the cineplex after watching it.

Posted on 16 June 2008Kahir Bhatia's ode to bleeding hearts is proof positive that Malaysian love movies don't have to have big bikes, cheesy lines and rock ballads.
The Incredible Hulk

Posted on 17 June 2008After checking out the new Hulk movie, KLue shares with you what was truly incredible about it. It certainly wasn't the CGI.
REC
|
Posted on 24 June 2008As Cloverfield recently demonstrated, there is still life in making movies through the angle of a video camera, ala The Blairwitch Project. But where Cloverfield was a nausea-inducing exercise of shaky camera angles, crudely constructed conspiracy theory, and big-budget viral marketing, something more intimate and scary recently came out of Spain.
Made of Honour
|
Posted on 24 June 2008So a best friend takes his best friend for granted until she gets engaged, subsequently cueing him to fall in love with her a wee bit too late, forcing him to try to force her to not only call off the wedding, but marry him instead to much adverse effect along the way. Sound familiar? A little too much perhaps – we’d been there, done that, bought the now stale formula and the little Julia Roberts souvenirs.
Wanted
|
Posted on 26 June 2008Teasers and trailers established Wanted as a must-see summer blockbuster right from the start. Hello, from the previews alone, bullets defied the laws of physics to curve a shot and drifting became the new pullover to pick up passengers. However, the movie can only be enjoyable once you accept and overlook the ludicrous stunts that come in abundance during the movie's duration as possible within the movie’s realm. But while it might seem fake in almost every aspect, Wanted nonetheless is the sort of movie that keeps you on your toes, biting your nails with sudden yelps.
Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone
Posted on 26 June 2008The Evangelion mythos gets relaunched as a series of four movies. The first one successfully manages to cause more city-wide damage than The Incredible Hulk.
Introducing: Justin Ong
Posted on 27 June 2008When Justin Ong returned to KL six years ago, he brought home with him degrees from Marquette University, Milwaukee and the New York Film Academy; hands-on experience from the wilds of LA (he worked on the set of Hollywood Squares) and a burning hunger to tell Asian stories from an Asian perspective.
