Well I'm sure that most of you audiences know about this movie or at least the first installment of the 'Ip Man' sequel which is just Ip Man but if you do not know or heard of this movie, trust me it is a movie worth watching and guarantee your time well spent. As simple as it sounds, this movie is the second installment where it picks off from the ending scene of the the first movie where Wing Chun Master Ip Man leaves Foshan (province in China) and travels to Hong Kong in 1950s to escape the invade from the Japanese army and hoping to seek a new life there. 

Ip Man desires to open a school to propagate his art, as well as make a living during the difficult times, but he has difficulty attracting students due to his lack of reputation in the city, until a young man named Wong Leung appears and challenges Ip to a fight but easily beats him. He returns with a bunch of friends and challenges Ip again but Ip beat them all without any effort. Impressed and amazed by his martial arts, Wong and his friends become Ip Man's first students while at the same time helping to get more disciples to help the school thrive. While doing this, Wong gets caught by another school's disciples, Hung Gar students and one of them challenged Wong who Wong beats after but due to being outnumbered, Wong got taken as hostage and demands a ransom from Ip Man. Later, Ip meets with the Hung Gar Leader who tells Ip that he has to attend a fighting ceremony where all other martial arts masters will compete with Ip to test his worth.

Comedy Film - National Lampoon's Van Wilder Freshman Year (2009)

Comedy Film - Van Wilder: Freshman Year

Image taken from: http://buckonstuff.com/images/reviews/van%20wilder%20freshmen%20year.jpg

For the people who know this movie, pardon me for not using the original poster for the movie as the original may seem inappropriate to some audiences who are reviewing this. Anyways back to the film, Van Wilder: Freshman Year is the prequel to the first film of Van Wilder which is just titled National Lampoon's Van Wilder and this movie focuses on the main character, Van Wilder who graduates from high school and goes into Coolidge College since every Wilder has graduated from Coolidge and his time at Coolidge where he deals with Dean Reardon who is in charge of the college and running a military-based institution and who hates the senior Wilder(main character's dad) and wanting to make the younger Wilder's(main character) life miserable. 

One of my favourite quotes in the movie is the Wilder motto, "Banging, broke or blitzed... A Wilder never quits" and by following this pledge, Van Wilder overcame the harsh situation and the most awful moment that Reardon has put him into in the last part of the movie. Reardon also has two other favourable men, Lieutenant Dirk and Corporal Benedict who act as Reardon's right and left hand men and they would also try to sabotage and ruin Wilder's time at Coolidge. 

Although I do not want to spoil it, here's a short trailer for you. (WARNING: May contain inappropriate content)

Movie - Grown Ups (2010)

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMjA0ODYwNzU5Nl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNTI1MTgxMw@@._V1_SX214_.jpg

Starring Adam Sandler (Lenny Feder), Kevin James (Eric Lamonsoff), Chris Rock (Kurt McKenzie), David Spade (Marcus Higgins) and Rob Shneider (Rob Hilliard). Grown Ups is another Adam Sandler feel good movie, and if you like these, then you'll definitely like this movie too.

It all started when five friends win their junior high basketball championship, their coach "Buzzer" (Blake Clark) encourages them to live their lives as how they played the game, "so when that final buzzer of light goes off, they have no regrets".

30 years later, after hearing their high school basketball coach passed away, these five good friends and former teammates return to New England with their families for the funeral and reunite for a Fourth of July holiday weekend.

This movie is great for a laugh!!! At time when you feel like watching something that doesn't require you to think too much or try to figure out what the movie is about, this is a movie worth filling in that gap.

Movie - Action/comedy - The Heat (2013)

THE HEAT

 

 

 

Conversation between good cop and mad cop:

 

Sarah Ashburn: "Stand down officer"

Shannon Mullins: "Fuck off officer"

 

 

The Heat brings together Hollywood star Sandra Bullock and comedian Melissa McCarthy in an American action filled comedy which features Bullock as a FBI special agent (Sarah Ashburn) and McCarthy as a police detective (Shannon Mullins) who are paired together to investigate a Boston drug lord under the name of Larkin.

Sandra Bullock returns to a role in the force and manages to deliver yet another outstanding performance. She is best known for her roles in successful films such as Demolition Man (1993), Miss Congeniality (2000), The Lake House (2006), The Blind Side (2009). She has also been nominated and won numerous awards and has also been listed in the 2012 edition of Guinness Book Of World Records as the high-paid actress, with $56 million. With Bullocks notable talents, she is joined with the outstanding film and television actress and comedian Melissa McCarthy who starred in sitcom Mike & Molly, and films such as Bridesmaids, The Identity Thief & The Hangover Part III.

Despite the initial disagreements between the two characters, they manage to look past their differences and work together as a team. I reckon that the profaneness of McCarthy's character, Shannon Mullins and the awkward quirkiness of Bullock's character, Sarah Ashburn is the glue to this peculiar duo as they seem to compliment each other and work together quite well. They find their common interest in the love of guns and their passion in their line of work.

 

So what is the heat? Melissa explains when they're about to move in on Tatiana's apartment that the action carried out by their duo is referred to as "the heat" as they are meant to interrogate and "scare the shit" out of the suspects.

If you want a good laugh, I'd definitely go for this gem ;)

 

TV Series - Fantasy - True Blood

Faerie Blood

 

Warning: If you haven't been watching TB at all. You would not get this post.

 

Everything which has been leading up to the 6th season finale will reveal itself. A recap of season 6 so far: the war on vampires has been declared by the late governor of Louisiana, the reincarnation of Bill and Lilith provided Bill with new powers, attempts to synthesize faerie blood, along with the mysteries of Warlow have been revealed.

 

Apparently, there is also a possibility of faerie vampires! I thought that TB would have stopped with the weird at faeries, vampires, mediums, ghosts, shifters and werewolves. (Did I miss anything?) But no! I reckon this is it, the ultimate combo of faerie and vampire.

 

It has been seen in Bill's visions that most of the supporting actors in the series of True Blood would meet the sun in the white room. Just as I was watching Sarah limp to the rooftop, it hit me almost instantly, I was sitting there thinking "Noooo! Don't let her get to the lever! Ohhh noooo... Don't kill them noooooo" And then BAM the vampires are drinking from Bill and they instantly get immunity to sunlight. I totally did not expect that!

 

Throughout the seasons of TB, it has always been argued about who are the real victims in the series. Is it the humans whom the vampires are feeding off? Or is it the vampires themselves, where they are treated unfairly because they are considered to be non-ling beings? Should the living dead have equal rights? I really can't wait to see the next episode which would air on Tuesday (20/08/13), I wonder how the humans would retaliate!

South Korean Variety Show - Running Man

ACTION VARIETY SHOW, RUNNING MAN (런닝맨)

Image taken from: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/24/RunningMan.jpg

Running Man is a South Korean action variety show classified as 'urban action variety' with a mix of comedy, a never-before-seen genre of variety shows. The purpose of the show is to attract a wide range of audiences from all over the world and the basic concept of it is the MCs(hosts) and the guests complete missions in a landmark to win the race. The most interesting part of this show is that every week the PDS(Producer) would come up with different themes for the race and what audiences always look forward to is the final race which consisted of ripping off nametags behind another person's back. 

An example of a 'theme' for the race would be episode 150's "Running Man Marvel: The Avengers" where the whole mission is about each individual given a superhero role, along with their 'abilities' depending on which hero they were set on and form strategic alliances to defeat the guests who played the villains by ripping nametags off their backs. However the 'abilities' may have a certain condition which may not allow another person to tear it off, so they would have to think of a different strategy to do so. 

Running Man members include: Yoo Jae Suk (South Korea's National MC), Kim Jong Kook(singer), HaHa(singer), Gary(rapper), Ji Suk Jin(comedian/broadcaster), Lee Kwang Soo(actor) and Song Ji Hyo(actress). 

If you want to check out more about this program, you can start by looking up reviews and episodes on various websites such as http://www.kshownow.net/ or http://runmanclub.net/running-man-english-subtitle or any other websites that you could find. Hope you would enjoy it as much as I did and... Don't walk.Run !
