Set in ancient China, Zeng Jing is a skilled assassin who finds herself in possession of a mystical Buddhist monk's remains. She begins a quest to return the remains to its rightful resting place, and thus places herself in mortal danger because a team of assassins is in a deadly pursuit to possess the remains which holds an ancient power-wielding secret.
oh. my. god. i really have died and gone to heaven. this was one of the best movies i've ever seen. i don't know what else to say. just that, you have got to watch this if you love action. phew man. this movie stars michelle yeoh as the assassin who tries to lead a normal life but is unable to after saving her husband, jung woo sung(a moment to remember) and herself from a gang during a bank robbery, attracting the attention of her former assassin gang.
the small romances, the angst, the fights, are all awesome. i don't want to write too much lest i give it all away but i definitely recommend it. i finally found the movie on youtube after searching so hard for it. it's complete and with english subtitles. enjoy!!!

The Restless (korean movie)

In fictional ancient Korea, Yi-gwak is a demon hunter who lost his lover, Yon-hwa, and colleagues of demon hunters in the past. He enters the Midheaven, a transitory place for spirits, only to find the spirit of Yon-hwa who has forgotten about him. His deceased former mentor, Ban-chu, masterminds a demonic rebellion in Midheaven, wishing to invade the living world.
this movie stars kim tae hee(iris) as sohwa/yonhwa and jung woo sung(athena,a moment to remember) as yi gwak. this is such a romantic (historical at the same time) action movie, at the end my heart shattered againnnn at the open ending. sigh yigwak was so romantic, never forgetting his love. sighhhh i can only sigh and do nothing else, wishing it was happier.
the action was fabulous, all the fights made me drool, yes even the demons lol it was so cool hehehe i loved the plot. we don't see this type of plot much nowadays, such a simple and pure love, with so much action. he just protected her, even though she had already lost her memories, and she fell in love all over again.
you can watch this on youtube complete with english subtitles. enjoy!!!

Twilight (eng movie)

After so long, i've watched an english movie again online. there was all the hype on this movie and though i was interested in things like vampires and supernatural stuff, i didn't really feel like watching this movie then. but i suddenly got the urge to watch it yesterday. don't ask me why. i just felt like it and i did and i did not regret it.
this is more about the love story between edward, our hot vampire, and bella, our loner ordinary girl. bella has just moved to forks, and is intrigued by edward. due to some events, she finds out his secret but it's already too late for her as she's head over heels in love with him just as edward is for her. but their forbidden love is about to face trouble.
actually, personally, i enjoyed the feelings and intensity between the two leads. they portrayed the emotions really well. the supporting cast were really good too. the only thing was that the plot was not much. it was only concentrating on their feelings and the disapproval of families and all. the enemies were not many. but i guess, this is just because there are more sequels to come. and also, i enjoy having some action together with the romance.
but i did enjoy it even though the action was not as much as i would have liked. also, looking at the sequel, twilight;the new moon, there seems to be more action, a lot more than the prequel. but edward seems to take more of a back seat here giving the spotlight to jacob, our werewolf, bella's friend and one who has a crush on her. still it seems exciting.
this is a romantic movie with the cast acting really well especially our two leads. the romantic in me was like gushing when edward saw her. so sweet and cute hehehe anyway, too much rambling starting. you can find this on youtube, but i watched it on wiiki/viiki (forgot spelling) ehehe cos they have english subtitles there. it makes it so much easier to understand. it's all complete and online so enjoy people.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (hindi movie)

I don't think i'll get tired of this movie. I admit it's a little cliched but it happens. There could have been some improvements in some areas of acting but there were some moments which really rocked for me. It's a simple story but friendship rocks here.
This movie is about two best friends, Jai and Aditi, and their friendship. It shows how close they are and yet, not even an inkling of romantic feelings between them initially. And so, the story progresses. ^_^
I really liked Emran Khan's acting here. It was his first film i think, and he did well. It also helps that he's really good looking ehehe And Aditi, (sorry i forgot her name><") is natural with her role too. The role really suited her. There were times that I felt that she overdid a little but not much. I really enjoyed how close the two leads were. They acted so well being platonic friends that it looked natural. I watched this movie on youtube and they have really good quality there. Hope you guys enjoy it.
