Blawk Hawk Down
Black Hawk Down (2001) – on HD. Until the film itself, the only recollection I had of what eventually became known as the Battle of Mogadishu were the televised images and news of two American soldiers who were killed in

Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes (2009) – at AMK Hub. Reimaginations of famous characters, superheroes and TV series are really quite in the vogue these days. We’ve had new interpretations of Batman, Spider-man, Superman, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek – and even a remake
Up
Up (2009) – on rental. I must be one of few rare filmgoers out there when it comes to Up. I didn’t think it was very good, and certainly not anywhere near Pixar’s best animated films: after this one, my
Braveheart
Braveheart (1995) on HD. I’ve blogged here briefly about this 1995 film directed, produced and lead-acted by Mel Gibson before. But after recently acquiring the Blu-ray disc for it and watching it again with Ling, decided to do a longer
Avatar
Avatar (2009) – at Cineleisure Orchard yesterday. James Cameron is one of those movie directors whom Hollywood seems happy to sign off huge budgets to produce pet projects of his… and with good reason why. He makes films only once
The Taking of Pelham 123

Obsessed
Obsessed (2009) – on rental. My only impression of Obsessed comes from a trailer that was screened during Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen if I remember correctly. The general premise of the film was easy to tell from just the
Mass Effect
Echoing from my other blog. After completing Dragon Age Origins (DAO) a weekend ago, I decided to try BioWare’s other RPG – Mass Effect – just before this one too. This sci-fiction RPG was in the news in Singapore last
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) – on HD. There’s normally only one reason you watch films in the Ice Age series: and it’s for a certain lovable sabertooth squirrel named Scrat who obsesses over his acorn. Everything else
Dragon Age Origins
Echoing again for the other blog I write for.:) — 2009 has been a good year for PC role-playing games (CRPGs). We’ve had Drakensang and Risen so far, and Divinity II: Ego Draconis is set to be released next month.
Easy Virtue
Easy Virtue (2008) – on rental. After two fantasy, one disaster, and one ponderous conspiracy thriller film in about a week, I was glad for a change of pace when a comedic-drama arrived by way of rental. I haven’t heard
Angels & Demons
Angels & Demons (2009) – on rental. In 2006 there was that huge outcry about director Ron Howard and Tom Hanks’ The Da Vinci Code film that was based on Dan Brown’s book of the same name. The controversies of
