John Woo is back... He's my favourite director of all time ever since he wnet to Hollywood with 'Hard Target', 'Broken Arrow' and 'Face Off'.
Since then, he had directed 2 not-so-good films - 'Windtalker' and 'Paycheck'. But, like what I said in the first line, 'John Woo is back'.
With all the hype, his latest epic 'Red Cliff' is truly the most anticipated Asian movie this year. Every sequence is designed to interlock the script.
Takeshi Kaneshiro as Strategist Zhuge-Liang and Chang Chen as Sun Quan are not compelling enough, but characters like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are as good as it gets!
As compared to 'The Warlords', it may not be as good probably because we still have a sequel to complete the whole story of the three kingdoms.

#19 Get Smart
I have been looking forward to this show since the beginning of the year.
In the tradition of 'Spy Hard', but a bit more serious and well-blended, 'Get Smart' gives the best out of Steve Carrell, Anne Hathaway and The Rock!
Humour, at its stupidity, is not too low-class for the mass to appreciate!

#18 The Incredible Hulk
This is much more better than Ang Lee 'The Hulk' After all, Ang Lee is more suitable to do Brokeback Mountain and Lust Caution kinda movies, not so for summer blockbusters like Marvel superhero flicks!
This is good - simply one of the better Superhero movies in recent times! On par with Iron Man!

#17 Speed Racer
What can I say? 'Speed Racer' is visually appetizing.
From start to end, the whole screen is so colourful and things move so fast. Every sequence is well-choregraphed (though a bit exaggerated at times).
This big budget extravaganza is worth all the ticket price!

#16 What Happens in Vegas?
This is good. It has been a long time since I watched a Good Cameron Diaz show. She's still gorgeous and looks as good as she did in 'The Mask' - one of the first English movies in my life.
The plot is well-paced and the love chemistry builds up in a believable manner!

#15 Iron Man
Going into the cinema without much expectation (since the trailer is a bit cheesy), I came out feeling great about the 'Iron Man'.
As the first movie to kickstart this summer season, 'Iron Man' is definitely no Spidey calibre with lesser known stars fronting this tentpole picture. It's not a must see, but it's great fun watching.
