SPECIAL NOTE : This week, The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey took the centre stage in the international markets and Singapore and Malaysia are no difference. The question is would it stay on top till the new year? 

Weekly Box Office Movies in US (Ending 2012/12/16)

Here are the TOP 5 Movies from US for the week ending 16th December 2012 (Sun).

SPECIAL NOTE : As expected, the long-awaited prequel, The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey took the pole position with a record breaking sales at $84.6 (it even surpassed the The Lord Of The Ring Trilogy). Even though the critics are mostly with mixed reaction, it is still a movie worth the wait and experience it in the new 48 fps (frames per second) technology in IMAX.

I've watched it in IMAX 3D (non-48 fps), if you are interested, check out my review here.  

Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp - The Cartoon Style Evolution

Whether you are a movie fan or not, I am pretty sure you know who is Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp. At the minimum, you must have heard of their names, somewhere, somehow. They are the A-list Hollywood Stars that have made some incredible blockbuster movies.

As a tribute to the actors, artist Jeff Victor has drawn two great cartoon evolution of ten characters that Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp has played over the years. 

To test your movie-intelligence, can you identify the movie titles and the characters they are playing in each movie? Try to figure it out yourself first before scrolling down for the answers.

No peeping! ;-)

Pacific Rim - Fantastic Trailer and Movie Poster

Fancy sci-fi movie with giant monster (think about Godzilla) and giant robot (think about transformers)? Your wish will be granted soon (you just have to wait for another 7 more months). In July 2013, Pacific Rim, the highly anticipated sci-fi by Guillermo del Toro will be released internationally. Guillermo del Toro last brought us an visual treats in fantasy-drama, Pan's Labyrinth (2006).

Pacific Rim carries no A-lists casts as the main characters are the monsters and the robots. Short synopsis of Pacific Rim (source: GeekTyrant):

"When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju.

On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse."
