165 movies watched in 2008. I expected at least 200+! Oh well, I guess I’ve been busy with other things..
My Top 5 Movie Picks for 2008 goes to :
1. The Dark Knight
Downright THE BEST noir character piece, comic adaptation, action, fantasy, sci fi all in one – featuring both my favorite director [...]
Finally! The last installment of my James Bond movie project, with the last 5 Bond films before Daniel Craig’s Casino Royale. Managed to finish it just before 2009.. what a great way to end 2008.
Truthfully, writing these posts have been quite time consuming. Running through each DVD to screen capture the characters, [...]
Bolt 3D (2008)
My 3rd full featured 3D film, and oh boy are they getting better and better! This is a story about a superhero dog (Bolt), who has spent the better part of his life protecting his owner Penny from the evil clutches of The Green-Eyed Man. Unfortunately, his superpowers, and all that he knows [...]

Moonraker (1979)
Easily the MOST OUTRAGEOUS Bond in the entire history of this franchise.
Capitalizing on the success of Star Wars and the whole sci-fi craze of that era, this one takes Bond to space to combat a mad billionaire.
You can expect to see the most nonsensical MI6 invention – the Venetian gondola that can transform into [...]

For those who aren’t aware, [...]

Not many people here flock to the movies quite as much as Malaysia – which I find a little strange considering Malaysia has a much higher rate of movie piracy. Then again, I guess movies in Singapore aren’t particularly cheap [...]

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)
This is the first and only James Bond film to star George Lazenby as 007. I would say he did a pretty decent job despite having no acting experience.
It was also one of the most ‘raw’ James Bond film before the release of Casino Royale, due to its sheer rugged [...]
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
A very very BIG THANK YOU to NicT for bringing the guys together for a farewell dinner. Although the ’surprise’ didn’t exactly work out (I could see a reservation for 12 when I walk into the restaurant you know.. ), I still really appreciate all the trouble you went through [...]
Dr. No (1962)
The 1st James Bond film that started the legendary franchise – it also set the theme and many of the precedents for all future Bond movies to follow – the theme song, the stylized intros, the girls..
Villain – Dr. Julius No
Introduces the master criminal organization known as SPECTRE (Special Executive for Counter-Intelligence, [...]
