TMNT: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2007,  PG)
TMNT: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3.0 Stars
I see these mutant heroes return again since 14 years after the last big live-screen venture into an animated film. These characters including TMNT, their master Splinter and their friends, April and Casey, has never changed in their voices and acting. I like the exciting scenes of TMNT and their friends fighting against the Foot.

The Dead One (2007,  PG-13)
The Dead One 3.0 Stars
It's a bit familiar to The Crow, but very different story based on the comic book. Wilmer Valderrama does a fine performance as the zombie superhero, but the action was average.

Worst one of The Crow series I ever watched. Edward Furlong as the next Crow is average in his action sequences of this action-horror film.

Cool flurry of high-flying acrobatics, martial arts action and quick-witted humour in this movie based from comic book. (Disappointed it has no English substitles)

Astérix & Obélix: Mission Cléopâtre (Asterix and Obelix Meet Cleopatra) 5.0 Stars
This French adventure-comedy movie reminds me in my childhood based on the comic book. When I looked at Bellucci is so beautiful and sexy in her Cleopatra costumes.

Men in Black II (2002,  PG-13)
Men in Black II 3.5 Stars
Although not as imaginative fresh, and gleefully twisted as its predecessor, this wacky sci-fi saga still entertains. The result, while silly and funny, lacks the first film's genre-twisting attitude, but I still like it.

The Crow - Salvation 2.5 Stars
This third installment of The Crow series is okay as what I thought it's better than the second one. The acting was decent, but nothing mind-blowing. Eric Mabius seemed to have more fun doing the action sequences. Kirsten Dunst, surprisingly, is both pretty and can act good.

Astérix et Obélix contre César (Asterix and Obelix vs. Caesar) 4.0 Stars
These Gaul characters are so hilarious that give me great memory from reading Asterix comic books when I was a kid - very familiar. Roberto Benigni is quite funny guy and Christian Clavier and Gerard Depardieu make their fantastic performance as their title Gaul hero roles.

Men in Black (1997,  PG-13)
Men in Black 3.5 Stars
This sci-fi-comedy about an unofficial government agency that regulates and polices the secret immigration of outer-space aliens living on Earth, is an enticing romp based on a little-known comic book series. Tommy Lee Jones is the ultimate straight man, playing against Will Smith, a darling of contemporary cinema. One of the most flat-out entertaining films of the decade. The only reason it doesn't deserve five stars, is because, well, it isn't quite on the level of Citizen Kane.

Kull the Conqueror (1997,  PG-13)
Kull the Conqueror 2.5 Stars
This moronic, sanitised version of Conan author Robert E. Howard's pulp fiction superhero of the 1930s is average, also features an irritating heavy-metal rock score.

Pamela Anderson seems not a bad femme fatale in this based on a comic book of sexy bounty hunter-heroine film. Action-packed is bit dull.

The Crow: City of Angels (1996,  R)
The Crow: City of Angels 2.5 Stars
It's great and believe this is not a sequel, but a virtual remake of the 1994 film, with French actor Vincent Perez as a motorcycle mechanic back from the dead to avenge his own murder including his son. This time, the urban-hell atmosphere is ever darker and dirtier. The chic despair and morbid obsession with death is overwrought, and at times unintentionally comic. Brandon Lee was the best original character avengeful hero.

Judge Dredd 2.5 Stars
What's worse is that Stallone's earlier sci-fi action flick Demolition Man, managed to capture the humour and totalitarian feeling far better than Judge Dredd ever did. And in the comic book, Dredd shouldn't dare be seen in his face while taking his helmut off.

This live-action family film based on the kid's comic books and cartoon is fantastic with the CGI of the friendly ghost Casper and his bully uncles. Much funny better than the classic cartoon.

S-S-S-SMOKIN'! Most outrageous action-comedy of a wise-cracking love-crazy, crime-fighting green tornado. Jim Carrey does an excellent act on his 'rubber' face when wearing a green mask.

Spectacular dark, gothic and action of a murdered rocker rises from the grave in the guise of a crow. Brandon Lee's last film was excellent in his action-packed than his past movies.
