Movie review - Fatal Move and The Orphanage
Past week catch following movies one which I felt was great and the other is a major disappointment.

Here are my review:

1) The Orphanage:
A horror movie which is both scary and sad. Scary due to the story about the haunted orphanage but sad about mother who lost her child whom she adopted and has HIV. Ending can be sad or happy depending on how we perceive the story. For me I would consider it as more of sad ending. Sorrow and lost felt sad for the mother. A movie to go for if u enjoy suspense and horror. Though the movie is in french but the subtitles enough to understand the storyline.

Entertainment (horror) : 4 stars
(the suspense of the movie to me was one of the great sell for this movie)
Story : 4 stars
Acting : 4 stars (thumbs up for the lead actress for being a great actress and managed

to convince the audience that she is indeed a mother who will do whatever it
takes to find her missing son)
------------------------

Overall (4 stars)
=================

(2) FATAL MOVE

So coincidence bump into Mike (my trainer at cinema, ran away quickly after he said hi to me. Saw his wife first time. She is a pretty Indian lady but he did not intro to me haha)

Have been eyeing this movie for sometime. I was looking forward to catch Samo Hung's fighting scenes like in the last movie SPL. I thought the same male actor (Yan Ji Dan) is in this movie but I made a mistake. Bought the ticket and expect the movie to be exciting in fighting scenes. But to my shock the movie is really stupid I wonder who the scriptwriter was. It is totally crappy and ending how the lead died is not acceptable to me. Finally ending there is one scene fight between Samo Hung and Wu Jin the guy who chop off his enemy's arm/fingers. Wah it ended with cut I did not see how he died. I wonder why all the bloody gruesome scenes were not cut yet they cut this scene where Samo killed Wu Jin. Then the ending how Simon Yam and the mistress and baby of Samo was being followed and finally dead is also something wierd to me. Basically almost all died at the end. I find the whole movie stupid and a waste of time.

The part where Samo confront his wife why she betrayed him is so long winded and boring and totally unnecessary. It was like watching one old couple talking about their marriage problems. I really get bored half way through the movie. Unless u have extra money else please do not watch this movie.

Entertainment : 2 stars (give extra points to Wu Jin's fighting scenes)
Story : 1 star
Acting : 3 stars (Tian Niu and Cheung Siu Fei acting were better in this movie)
---------------------------
Overall 2 stars
