Was abit skeptical when a friend of mine asked me to watch “The Cove” when I was planning to watch “Coco before Chanel”. “Er okay?” was my response that night.
Nonetheless, Nick & I made a trip down to Vivo and to watch “The Cove”. Like after watching a Docu-Movie, we emerged from the theater with a heavy heart. I applaud the people behind the movie for going to such great risks to uncover the truth. With a little effort from each, we could make a difference.
Watch the movie. Read about it here.

Whoever would expect, a beautiful, picturesque place like Taiji, Japan would be the place of secret dolphin massacre? More than 23,000 dolphins, porpoise and small whales are killed annually there. I’m sure somewhere besides Taiji, this is happening too. We’re just too ignorant.

G.I. Joe - The Rise of the Cobra
G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra joins my list of so-so movies that are easily forgettable.
Watch the movie for the action, not the plot and you’ll not be disappointed.
First of all, I question the title of The Rise of Cobra. Who does Cobra refer to?
Definitely not Baron Le Cobray, although his name is the closest being literally Cobra. Next, McCullen? Wrong. Rex? Well, if Rex the mad scientist is really ‘Cobra’, then its really funny how he only became who is he at the end of the movie, only to be captured and jailed less then 2 min after. Maybe should tweak the title to ‘The Interrupted Rise of the Cobra”.
Certain mistakes in the movie also makes it laughable. For example, when faced with a corridor floored with pressure sensitive plates which will explode upon force, Scarlett claims that anything bigger then a penny will trigger the explosion. This resulted in Snake Eyes walking across the room on his finger-tips.
Physics 101 FAIL. Cool factor EPIC. Its not often you get to see someone doing fingertip walking.
I also find it interesting how of the whole movie, the coolest character is the one you don’t see the face at all.
Now don’t bother watching this in the cinema, grab a DVD.
G.I.Joe – The movie without a plot, just alot of “ping ping piang piang”.
If you watching for:
- The story, the plot
[You might reconsider]
- The action, the fightin’
[You'll LOVE the movie]
- The robots, Optimus, Bumble Bee and Co.
[You'll probably watched it before you read this]
- The romance story between the leads
[Not memorable]
- Megan Fox
[Did you know she's a tranny?]
The movie is good. In fact, very good I would say. But I would minus some points for the unbelieveable plot that comes across as forced. Especially at the end. However, Optimus Prime gives the movie an extra edge with his Robot-Man-Bitch comments as he rips through the enemies and fights for his believes. Memorable quotes in the likes of “You’re a waste of metal” and “I’m gonna rip off your face” has me rather amused. I like this new personality in him. Adds dimensions.
A little too soon to be wondering.. But.. are they gonna make Transformers 3?
