I don't know about you but I am OMG so waiting for the release of Mike Myer's The Love Guru, a comedy that will only be hitting the big screen this Summer. Mike Myers has certainly come a long way. I still remember some of his older movies and watching reruns of Austin Powers.
Although Hindus may feel offended by this spoof called The Love Guru, just take the movie with a pinch of salt. It's all in good fun and does not make direct references to any particular community.
When I first chanced upon the The Love Guru's official My Space page, I was surprised that there are so many MySpace members who added Guru Pitka, the Love Guru, as Friend. HHmm they have a contest going on, something about getting LEI-ed in Hawaii. Sounds interesting!
For a change, I shall not be embedding any YouTube trailer on this post but you can check out Guru Pitka's YouTube Channel HERE.
Are you waiting for The Incredible Hulk, which is scheduled to be released on 13th June, 2008 in US cinemas? Although I am not a fan of any SuperHero, after watching the trailer, I think that this would be a good movie to be watched in the cinema.
Although the movement seems to be a little jerky, well, let’s see if The Incredible Hulk will be able to live up to expectations. So far, I have not been really impressed with Hollywood SuperHero movies. The hype is there mainly due to the long history of these SuperHeroes and the big advertising and marketing budget but when the movies are released, they seem to fall flat, in my opinion.
The Incredible Hulk stars Edward Norton as the hulk with Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt and Christina Cabot. HHmm I am no fan of any of them but the sweet looks of Liv Tyler will be worth watching!
A friend in Canada told me earlier yesterday that he had already watched Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! Is it in cinemas yet here in Malaysia? I am so lazy to check the cinema listings. This CG Hollywood animation movie is from the creators of Ice Age. Awww how I enjoyed watching Ice Age, though Ice Age 2was not as enjoyable as the first Ice Age movie, in my opinion.

Also, Jim Carrey is the voice of Horton, the elephant while Steve Carell takes on the voice of The Mayor of Whoville. These two make a killer combination and you can expect lots of laughs from Horton Hears a Who!
Although the target audience for Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! is children, according to my friend, he fears that kids may not understand the movie fully but of course they will laugh when they think some scenes are funny. Well, even Canadian kids found it difficult to understand, what about Malaysian kids? Anyway, this movie is suitable for all ages as you can see from the trailer.
When was the first time I watched Shutter, the original movie in Thai? If memory serves me right, it was 1.5 - 2 years ago. However, I still remember going to the cinema to watch it and came home with a shiver down my spine and I could hardly sleep that night even though the movie is in Thai, a language that I do not understand.
Yes, it was THAT scary and believe me when I say not many horror movies could match the scary factor of Shutter. In fact, this movie is so good that I bought a DVD BUT until today, I dare not watch a second time. I just want to KEEP it.

Now, American movie makers have decided to remake Shutter and turn it into an English language movie and setting it in Japan. As a fan of the original Shutter, I am afraid that this movie will be spoilt. I don't know, maybe I am biased!

This new version will be released in cinemas on 21st March, 2008, that's just less than a week to go. Check out these two trailers and see which one gives you the creeps!
My sister is a great fan of Jet Li while I generally love to watch action packed martial arts movies so we are both holding our breathes waiting for The Forbidden Kingdom to hit the big screen.
Jackie Chan
In The Forbidden Kingdom we will be seeing both Jet Li and Jackie Chan at the same time. I guess this is will not only be the first time ever but also the ONLY time because Jet Li has been saying that he wants to stop acting in martial arts movies and Jackie Chan is not getting any younger as well for such vigorous, punishing action-packed kung fu scenes.
Jet Li & Jackie Chan
For your information, both Jackie Chan and Jet Li are great kung fu [martial arts] actors from the Far East. Their kind of kung fu is real and not the Hollywood kind where actors are given crash courses just so that they could carry out a role. No, both Jackie and Jet underwent intensive martial arts training at real Shaolin temples in China when they were young boys. You can bet that they do all their stunts themselves.
Jet Li
According to the official website of The Forbidden Kingdom, this movie will be released worldwide on 18th April, 2008. I wonder if we in Malaysia will get to watch the first run as well. My sister is in the United States so maybe the movie will only hit the theaters a little later. Meanwhile, watch the trailer of The Forbidden Kingdom at the official website.
