Fast and Furious : Tokyo Drift

Wednesday, July 5th, 2006

To avoid jail for illegal racing, teenager Shaun Boswell was sent to Japan to live with his military father. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take long for young Shaun to be in the driving seat of illegal street racing. The different is, in Japan, races are held in parking lots and requires great skill in drifting. Being American and all, Shaun successfully finished the race, but totally wrecked his borrowed car. Since he was dirt broke, Shaun had to work off the repair cost for the car.

Makes me wanna go out and try drifting with my bike. Haha!! Simple story line. Load of cars (drool), hot Japanese girls (drool), and hip hop music, makes the perfect blend of racing movie. The drifting part is also not too shabby. I can’t tell which is real and which is CG. Plus, there’s a surprise cameo at the end of the movie.

Opps, I just found some interesting facts about this movie. No CG were used for the car stunts. Wow! No wonder they look so real!

Superman Returns

Wednesday, July 5th, 2006

After 5 years searching for more possible survivors from Krypton and finding none, Superman returns to Metropolis. Assuming back the identity of goofy reporter Clark Kent of Daily Planet, Superman found out the not only Lois Lane is in a relationship, she also has a son.

This movie sucks. Bryan Singer sucks. Can’t believe he made this. With all the hype, I was hoping for something better than Batman Begins. Turns out, it can’t even compare to the Christopher Reeve’s Superman. Lex Luthor is stupid ass. It’s the goddamn information age baldy! What the hell would anybody wants with more land? Go back to colonial age, you neandrethal monkey. This installment have way too much drama, felt like watching a korean soap opera. Kills of the action feel of the movie. The best part of the movie is the airplane rescue. After that, it’s advisable to leave the cinema
