There is a theory that action is exciting and dialogue is boring. Modern high-tech action sequences are just the same damn thing over and over again: high-speed chases, desperate gun battles, all possible modes of transportation, falls from high places, deadly deadlines, exotic locations and characters who hardly ever say anything interesting.
"M:I:III," in which Cruise resurfaces as Impossible Mission Force agent Ethan Hunt, with his most lucrative persona, that of the young, virile man of action whose determined scowl is surpassed in attractiveness only by his boyish grin. The director, television wunderkind J.J. Abrams, may need to work on his wide shots.

大武生 (2011, Movie)
“武生泰斗”這塊牌子,只要功夫利索,就如探囊取物,易如反掌。尤其于榮光和元彪開場的大戰,居然配上了莫名其妙的搖滾樂,這哪裡是梨園過招呢?高曉松導演的《大武生》這部電影,從相對主觀的電影創作和趣味角度來說,它是一部很糟糕的電影.

Total Recall (2012, Movie)
This is an adaptation of the original story by Philip K. Dick, not the Arnold Schwarzenegger film of the same name. In the future,the only way to travel from England to Australia is a by a dropping a module down a subway tube running through the earth's core. Just cannot agree with Colin Farrell's role.

Pitch Perfect (2012, Movie)
It's a very creative musical with very good choreography for all who appreciate A Capella music. It is just basically a college-level Glee.

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961, Movie)
The theme of the movie is that we can never have chance for happiness unless we belong to someone. Audrey Hepburn is one of my favorite actresses. She is totally amazing, and gorgeous. George Peppard is beautiful too!

NDMC Alumi Party on 03/02/2013
This year, Jenny Chung invited six of us to perform at their annual party again. "Beautiful Scenery" was our dance number. Dinner menu includes Fillet Mignon and poached salmon. NDMC alumni impressed me with their cozy atmosphere and hearty bond among them. The party was fluid and full of laughs. Sadly we had to leave early right after finishing the dessert due to my cold with spinning head. Love my beautiful and considerate teammate! Here is our dance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkdPjopFWQs&feature=youtu.be.

Kiss of the Dragon (2001, Movie)
This movie is just filled with action and Incredible fights throughout the entire movie, plus a "killer" ending. This is the only one I've seen that incorporates the art of acupuncture into martial arts.

鋼的琴 (2011, Movie)
影片講的是父愛,以詼諧的黑色手法講述了一件略有些悲傷的故事,反而讓看的人內心無比的惆悵。讓愛彈琴的女兒有持續練琴的機會,挖空心思,從紙繪假琴、學校偷琴到土法煉鋼,真的做出一架全鋼鋼琴的傳奇。正因為主角是樂師,片中大量運用了諸多流行音樂和俄國歌曲,傳達小人物苦中作樂的感受,全片遊走於真實與抽象間的魔幻氛圍,《鋼的琴》的導演張猛採取了活生生地跳接手法,亦即從演員的現場演奏或演唱,就直接硬轉進現成歌曲或音樂的播放,亦即在聲音的連接點上變得尖銳而又剌耳的音樂融合。
