L² Comment:

At first I found this movie is kinda stupid but yet funny as well~ They acted as if they are ICAC or CID like that, make the comedy a bit tense and few times it make me burst into laughter... Well, that was how i feel when i watch it during the first time, but as I rewatch this movie now, it did not really give me that feeling anymore... 

A good comedy movie should be able to create the same feeling no matter how many times you watch it right? Haha, i didn't mean to sound like a pro here, but i hope i am :p I'm still looking for the sequence of this movie, anybody got it?

First time ever Anita Yuen acted as an elder character, a good challenge for her during that time. Though not bad, but she can be better if she is given a new chance now. It was sad when i watch it many years ago, now i feel very touching after rewatch it almost 20 years later... I miss my parents :(

I haven't watch the 02:00AM, but seriously, i don't really like this 3rd and final one... First story is still ok, a bit predicatble and not scary, except the toilet part... Second story is the one i like among all 3, but scary wise is also not as good as the previous... Third story is the worst... gosh~ No wonder there is no 04:00AM after this... :P

L² Comment: 

Even though its a bit similar like "The confession of a shopaholics", but i think the HK version took it to a better extend and i love it. The best part would be seeing Paula Tsui shopping session. "This, this, this... i don't want, the rest please pack it for me"... lol! how cool is that~

Storyline of course its good, a bit confusing will be the part when Paula Tsui directed them by phone to the wedding destination. I have to watched twice to discover, all these while Paula was directing Sean to Cecilia & Jordan to Ella. A very good movie which shopaholic like us shouldn't miss...

Its a great history movie this year, so happy to watch it with some friends who are so also interested in China history :) Though the storyline is good by using a flashback memories on the movie, but the ending part is a bit laggy and boring. The best part will be the time when Zhen & Liang compete with each other in the chinese chest competition.

Leon Lai still the same-old-leon, his expression is bad and boring, i wonder how he ever won the best actor before~ lol. The one who surprise me is Jordan Chan!!! You can see that he's do his hardwork for this film. This proof that he's not only good in comedy but this kind of history-war film as well~ good job:)
