Painted Skin - 画皮

Surprisingly interesting!

painted-skin-movie-2

It tells the tale of love, human and demon alike, presenting a conflict in a different manner. It’s but of course an adaptation from the Chinese literature Liao Zhai.

I’ve had heard numerous mumbles and jumbles that the moving ain’t really all that good, I braved myself for a yawn inducing movie; at least I thought I would. But surprisingly, while the jokes were blunt, there were good laughs. With Donnie Yea as Renegade-General Pang Yong being one of the key figures, one can definitely expect top quality of moves in the minute battle scenes.

It’s a love story, tragic love to be precised, and I think the move manage to bring it out in a nice manner. Well paced and the dialogs delivered movingly by the lead actresses brought the show alive sparring me from a possible torturous 90 minutes.

Though so, I must say the CGs in the movie ain’t well executed, pretty flawed as they do not yet manage to trick the eye as per what Hollywood has since been achieving - movies after movies. Heck, I did even notice the awkward movements of the actors on cable.

Overall, I’d still rate it a good 7.0/10.0.


Bleach Chapter -101

It’s interesting really to see how every characters fall into place or frame of how they were all introduced in the first place. While I did bitch about this short de-tour back to the past as unnecessary; for I hated all those text and dialogs.

Anyway, to be entertained with such tremendous interesting fight and story line for this dull weekend, I’d say it just notch the day up by .5! Apart from that, there ain’t really much to comment on until we see the next chapter. I assume we will get to see everyone killing everyone soon with masks flying all around!
