Watched: Overall Summaries from...hmmm..

Meet the Robinsons
http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/meettherobinsons/

Boy abandoned seeks mother.

Fortunately for him, he is an inventing genius. Unfortunately for him, his inventions ruin his opportunities to be adopted.

Giving up trying to be adopted, he just wants to find his birth mother. For such he decided to create a memory viewer for his school Science Fair. Little did he realised this is the turning point of his life.

I wouldn't say this is a bad piece. It's just the once the candies are taken, the story left little to be desired. There are some moments but largely it's the dullest Pixar/Disney animation I ever watched. It might be better off if it's a TV pilot to a bigger story really.

300

It's a movie for Adults so stop your whining, kids. What? Who complaint about the nudity? Does 300 looks like a movie adapted from a Walt Disney comic book??? What the hell is wrong with people these days? It's a M18 movie! What??? Straight sex is eWWWW??? People are so strange nowadays.

Anyway it's a very good adaption, they beefed up Frank Miller's graphic novel to show a different message while retaining the essences of the book. I heard the director is going to do Watchmen. Good luck to him, since Watchmen is one of the heaviest book about the costumes.

28 Weeks Later

They thought I am chicken shit and wouldn't be watching. Strange then why am I watching it? Nah. It's not really that scary or good. Just the boo and the aftermath thought of "what if".

It's Night of the Dead meets The Fast & The Furious (not Tokyo Drift....imagine...). Paired with the really great soundtrack, the chase scenes are great. Although it's more like a small budget concept meeting a bigger budget (everyone knows that Zombie/Horror films are actually quite cost effective. Although no one including the "original" Jack Neo will be doing a Zombie film based in Singapore.)

You don't really had to watch 28 Days Later for this. Just grasp the basic "Man turn Mad and Attack People" concept will do.
