District 9


Thirty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa’s District 9 as the world’s nations argued over what to do with them.

Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens’ welfare – they will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens’ awesome weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA.

The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable – he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9.

Humans have always questioned the existence of alien life forms. What if they’re already living on Earth? How would humans and aliens co-exist? Answers to these mysteries will be revealed in District 9 by Peter Jackson.

Release Date: 13th August 2009

Friday Movie Talk

Is Chinese New Year season now. Many people will watch movie at cinema. Now here let me introduce you two Chinese New Year Movie.
First movie:
- All's Well End's Well 2009 家有喜事 2009

Kei (Ronald Cheng) eldest sister Sandra (Sandra Ng) is a hot-tempered magazine editor and her temperament has left her single all this while. They have a traditional family and one of the rules is that none of the siblings could get married before their eldest sister. In view of this, Kei sort help from the famous “Casanova”, Koo Chai (Louis Koo), who is the new journalist in Sandra’s firm to pretend to court his eldest sister and lure her into the mood of love.

With Sandra falling in love with Koo Chai, she decides to introduce him to her parents (Lee Heung Kam, Ha Chun Chou). However, Koo Chai fell in love with another girl, Mun during an assignment and this broke Sandra’s heart. To avoid the disappointment of her parents, Sandra asks Mr. Wong (Raymond Wong) a private investigator to pretend as her boyfriend.

With Sandra love life going nowhere and her career plunging low, will she get what she wants? Will Kei find his true love and marries her sister off? Who will Koo Chai choose? Will all’s well end’s well?

Second movie:
-The Wedding Game

From the producers who be brought us movies such Ah Long Limited and Money Not Enough 1 & 2, comes the funniest romance comedy starring real life couple Singaporean stars Fann Wong and Christopher Lee with an assemble of local Malaysian celebrities such as Daniel Tan with guest appearance from veteran actress Lai Ming and even Saiful Apek. This romance comedy was shot in both Singapore and Malaysia (in Malacca).

The story begins when Jack (Christopher Lee) publicly proposes to Sue (Fann Wong) during the live telecast of a regional awards show. Surprised but happy, Sue accepts. What the public doesn't know is that the entire love affair is an elaborate and meticulously planned ruse designed by their ambitious managers May and Tom. In reality, Jack has disliked Sue from the first day they met and vice versa!

But through it all, the two stars keep up with the charade. Just when everything is going so well, an incident has rattled some of the fans and the media. There is doubt now lingering about the authenticity of this love match.

Will they succeed in fooling a nation, and come away richer but not wiser?

Today is the first day of Chinese New Year, most people called it 'Chu1 Yi4'(Mandrin). Many Chinese go to pay someone a courtesy call on New Year's Day or shortly thereafter, usually with a present or 'Hong2 Pau1'(red packet).

A lot of people lining- up at the box office, many movie are selling fast any time any movie. There are also 'Cai2 Shen2'(God of Wealth) to apportoin some tangerines and some red packets. Moreover, many shops are also closed because they need to go home for celebration of Chinese New Year.
Meanwhile, I also saw a Pizza Hut's Cheese man moving around outside Restaurant Pizza Hut at basement floor. It is cute.

Friday Movie Talk

Today I went to Queensbay Mall after my English for Science and Technology class. Then mom decided to watch movie, either Inkheart or They Wait, I had chosen Inkheart because I personal like magical movie and some fairy tail story. It was a loving movie which express about love and caring of a family. Well, I am going to watch They Wait by tomorrow. =)


Meggie, a twelve-year old book lover has spent her childhood with her father Mo, an expert earning his living traveling the countryside repairing and caring for books. A hidden past of trouble shows up outside of their windows one night in the form of a man named Dustfinger, a man who we are to soon find out, is not of this world. You see Mo has a hidden talent where, if he reads a story aloud, he can actually bring characters to life out of the book, Dustfinger being one of them, stolen unhappily from the world he had always known. Not only does this create problems for the displaced Dustfinger, a kindly fire-eater/juggler who misses the fairies and trolls he had once befriended, but in place of stealing one character from the book, something from Mo’s world is sucked in…his loving wife. To make things even worse, not only was Dustfinger brought to life, but also the villainous Capricorn, a man so evil his heart was said to be made of ink. (Get it ink heart—Inkheart. Just making sure you are still with me.) Capricorn becomes obsessed with Mo’s power and chases him down to use it for evil not good, as is the villainous code of conduct.
