Movies again!!

Hey Hey!

I have watched quite a lot of movies again....Hand Cock...er...I mean, Hancock, Get Smart, Wanted, You dont mess with the Zohan, and recently, the Red Cliff and Hellboy.

I seriously recommend you guys to catch Red Cliff （赤壁 which I keep thinking of calling it 墙壁) and Hellboy. Red Cliff has alot of killing scenes basically that is necessary becos the whole show is about war. It can be pretty much bloody but that was necessary and each actor was very impressionable, capturing clearly each of historical figures' capabilities and strength as well as their unique characters. Esp the Guan Yu, whom I remember most vividly. He looked exactly from what I have seen from those chinese story books which I read when I was in primary school. The interesting part of the whole show is seeing how victory is attained by not the number of warriors you have, but how its attainable by wits and strategies. Sigh! But the thing is the whole story does not end here, there is a part two coming up I hope the soonest it can be!!!!

This is told in part one of Red Cliff:

In the winter of 208, Liu Bei and Sun Quan two warlords who later founded the kingdoms of Shu and Wu respectively formed their first coalition against the southward expansion of Cao Cao. The two sides clashed at the Red Cliffs (northwest of present day Puqi, Hubei). Cao Cao boasted 830,000 men (historians believe the realistic number was around 220,000), while the Liu-Sun coalition at best had 50,000 troops.

I believe part two, the continuation of Red Cliff will speak of the defeat of Cao Cao:

However, Cao Cao's men, mostly from the north, were ill-suited to the southern climate and naval warfare, and thus entered the battle with a disadvantage. Furthermore, a plague that broke out undermined the strength of Cao Cao's army. The decision by Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, military advisors to Liu and Sun, to use fire also worked effectively against Cao Cao's vessels, which were chained together and thus allowed the fires to quickly spread. A majority of Cao Cao's troops were either burnt to death or drowned. Those who tried to retreat to the near bank were ambushed and annihilated by enemy skirmishers. Cao Cao himself barely escaped the encounter.

As for hellboy, the only thing I am looking out for are creatures. If you like creatures and all, catch this one.

My next movie to conquer........The Dark Knight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
