I always buy Ralph Lauren whenever it’s on sale. And it just so happens, this week RL is having their spring sale! On Thursday May 15th go to RalphLauren.com and use the code “MAY15″ to save an additional 20% off, already reduced prices!
Last time Polo had a sale I ended up buying 7 polos. I can’t help it, they were so cheap.
Yeah.

This movie can be summarized in one sentence. Black debate team from Wiley College, the unlikely under dog, going to defeat the Harvard debate team. This plot would have been great, if it were realistic; Wiley college never faced Harvard. I don’t like the fact that the majority of the movie was based on real events that have happened, but the ending-when they faced Harvard- was all made up. The way the movie built up to that moment made it even worse. It’s like someone doing a two hour equation, but finding out the answer at the end is wrong.
The second thing I don’t’ like about this movie is that there wasn’t much debate. This movie was more focused on how blacks were treated in the past in the south. There was a combined maybe 15 minutes of actual debate and they weren’t even that great. The actors conveyed their speeches in an angry manner: It seemed like they were fighting instead of actually debating. To prove a point, a person doesn’t have to raise his voice, but the directors probably wanted to make it more dramatic.
The Great Debaters was the best movie I’ve seen in a long time; however, that doesn’t mean much, considering I’ve seen so many terrible movies lately. The historical fallacies really ruined it for me,.
6.5/9
Yeah.

This is why I want to move to a big city like Hong Kong, Shanghai or Tokyo!

I was so excited to see this movie, but was terribly disappointed. The story line is so loose, it’ll leave you so confused. There is a love scene that lasts for 5 minutes, that you would expect to play some part in the movie later on; nope, it doesn’t happen. After watching this movie, you won’t get what Three Kingdoms is actually about. It was a period in the history of China, where 3 warlords wanted to united China. But who cares, this movie doesn’t.
What this movie doesn’t lack is slow motion sword fighting. Every other scene there was a spear in somebody’s face and they would dodge it, by defying gravity. Also, the main character Andy Lau, is ridiculously strong. He fights a whole army by himself and survives- unrealistic to say the least.
Worst thing about this movie is that it has Maggie Q in it. Yes, the same Asian chick that stared in Balls of fury, a comedy based on making fun of ping pong. When I saw her in this movie, playing a serious role, this movie really died for me.
This movie just goes to prove that even if you’re a good actor, Andy Lau, you can still make bad movies. Yet another upset for Asian movie lovers.
4/10
Yeah.
