The Expendables & SandCastle

THE EXPENDABLES

Power cast with funny dialogues and explosive + insane actions as expected . But I have to say some of the effects looked quite fake (too digitalised). This is one super old-school and "very man" movie, although I thought Mickey Rourke & Bruce Willis were kinda underutilised. Anyway overall, I enjoyed the movie thoroughly. It was great fun watching them having fun.

SANDCASTLE

I have to say I totally enjoyed this local production! This is really one movie that showcased the talents of our local film makers. An easily identified, down-to-earth story with some light humour (I thought the funniest one was the presentation on National Day Parade preparation). Whole show was rather slow paced but the flow was engaging enough to keep you watching. I was quite surprised (pleasantly) by the bold move on the bed scene. However I tot the abrupt end was a little too artistic for me to digest. Maybe it's supposed to be thought provoking?
