Malibu's Most Wanted (2003)
hilarious (spoiler alert)
A very funny movie although there were too many "izzles" and maybe Jaime Kennedy overdid the entire hardcore gangsta thing (his character is sometimes very annoying - how stupid could someone be?) However, the other characters (especially Sean and PJ) were extremely likable.
Overall, I guess the movie was about trying to fit in and I thought that was a pretty good moral. Sometimes the movie was a bit confusing and not at all realistic (what was with the Stuart little thing?). However, it's a good movie to watch when you're bored, although it's not a movie you'd like to watch a second time.
Rating -- 6/10
Chin gei bin (2003)
Ever so Cheesy (SPOILER alert)
The movie starts off with Reeve (Ekin) and his assistant fighting same vampires. This scene is probably the best out of the entire movie. The rest of the movie unfortunately is cheesy, highly unrealistic and a Buffy the Vampire Slayer ripoff. The ending also sucks big time.
Some moments such as the scene where Gypsy and Helen (played by popular Chinese duo band Twins: Charlene & Gillian) fight over a stuffed teddy bear are particularly cringeworthy. The storyline is also lame, surely they could have come up with something more scary than a book called "Day for Night".
Some good parts though. Jackie Chan and Anthony Wong make the movie bearable with their comical roles. However, the good bits just end there. Charlene & Gillian (from Twins) have never been able to act well and annoy you to pieces and "the friendly but wussy vampire" role was unfortunately given to Edison Chen who is a talentless pretty boy.
Rating: 4/10 --
