December 20, 2006 Unlimited
not one of the best sounding albums of miriam to date, but is fairly decent. there's a range of different songs which is not bad, and the singing is consistently good. u might need to replay the album a few times to really fully enjoy the album. 7/10.

Neighbor 13 (2-Disc Set; Uncut; Special Edition) (US Version) DVD Region 1

However, the story lacks a bit and the last ten minutes had too many unbearable long pauses and silence - it just dragged on. There were scenes that were funny but weren't meant to be funny. Although it's a well made film, it isn't enough to hold the whole film together. 6/10. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Superman Returns (Special Edition; 2-Disc Set) (US Version) DVD Region 1
(1)Our Price: US$26.98Usually ships within 7 daysDecember 1, 2006 SupermanGreat movie, not quite a sequel and not quite a remake - it's a bit of both. I got a sense of satisfaction every time superman saved the day. Good action scenes, adventure and has the right amount of romance as well. Brandon Routh plays superman very well, a good performance. Highly recommended... 9/10. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

The monster also looked good, a good portrayal. The second half of the movie dragged slightly in some parts but other than that it was well done and well acted. 8/10.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Ghost Game (Hong Kong Version)
November 29, 2006 Ghost GameThe story evolves around a pretty interesting idea - put a group of people in a haunted area and be watched live. The first half of the movie wasn't that interesting, but as it progressed, it got creepier and creepier. The atmosphere created was effective - people out in the middle of nowhere, in an abandoned place with a grim history. Not bad. 8/10. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

But still there are some good fighting scenes, comedy, action....some good visual graphics, and the movie ends by keeping us on the edge - I'm looking forward to seeing the third installment. 7/10.

November 29, 2006 Time
The movie is a little extreme, but I'm sure a lot of people have contemplated at the prospect of getting plastic surgery to please a partner. A bit of a tragic love story. I didn't think it was particularly entertaining or interesting to watch, I thought the movie was too over the top. The lovers in the movie only went out for 2 years, which is hardly a long time. The only reality was that extreme jealously and anger can drive a person to do things they normally wouldn't. 6/10. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 23, 2006 99 NightsThis is a really addictive and challenging game. The graphics are great and the characters are decent, the sound is also very good. This is only a 1 player game, it would have been good if it were a 2 player game as well. It is easy to navigate and play. Well done. 9/10. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 23, 2006 Keroro - The MovieI enjoyed watching this movie - there's suspense, adventure, action, comedy, wit and warmth. Keroro is a great little character, in fact all the characters are original and very likeable. I felt that the movie was a little too short though. I think Natsumi is too mean to Keroro, well inside she cares for him, but still, I think she is too mean, so to me she is annoying. I think this movie is great for kids as well as adults. Hope another film is on the way...! 8/10. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Hard Candy (US Version)

November 23, 2006 Hard CandyInteresting to see how the story unfolded - but was a little too unrealistic for me. It's a pretty intense and unnerving film. It's not a brilliant film, but is provocative and tries to exploit the sensitive issue of pedophilia. The performances by the actors are solid. 6/10. Did you find this review helpful?

November 23, 2006 PoseidonEntertaining film from beginning to end. It's an enjoyable adventure/action movie. The remake of the film is not too bad, although the dialogue is a little lame - it can be forgiven. Good popcorn movie......7/10. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 23, 2006 Goal!Not much originality in the movie, but the wit and warmth does add brownie points to the film. It can be quite an inspirational film for some. It's a predictable film, but still worth watching - good for football fans. Shows you what happens on the inside of the football world - the money, sex, parties, tabloids...etc. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 23, 2006 Take the leadApart from Antonio Banderas, most of the actors are just so-so. YaYa from American's next top model is in it, and her acting is not too good, but fair for a first timer I guess.
The story is interesting, although predictable and has a very cliche dance story. The dancing is enjoyable to watch.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 23, 2006 Emily RoseI'm not sure how much of the film portrayed was based on true facts, but anyway the movie does make you question the unknown - it's quite thought provoking. The film is not too bad - some spooky parts and approaches the subject seriously. 6/10. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 23, 2006 MIIIEntertaining movie - as expected. But I think I enjoyed MII slightly more than this movie. The action and special effects are topnotch. The storyline is a little far fetched, but putting logic aside, it works well with the film overall. 7/10. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 23, 2006 49 DaysExtremely dull in every sense! The problem lies with the script as well as the plot - terrible! Not scary in any way. Gillian Chung cannot act! One of the worst movies. Watching the film is the very definition of suffering.

Jill has improved a lot in this album.....I'm surprised. The music/arrangement is good, singing is good. Fortunately there is no stupid cheesey talking in this album, unlike the last album. 6/10.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Do U Know (CD+DVD)

November 21, 2006 Do U Knowthe album is quite good... it's well sung and the songs are pretty good. My favourite would be track 1 at the moment. The songs are the usual ballads and love songs, but it's not too repetitive and each song is original. 8/10. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 17, 2006 One missed call finalThis movie is soooo bad! The actors are all amateurs, the acting is really fake and laughable - well in a horror movie you have to act scared...and they failed miserably. Acting aside.... the story is just as bad......arghhh!! doesn't make sense - just bad story writing! Die hard horror fans, please give this a miss, but if you're not a die hard horror fan, then this might scare you..haha. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
