Do check out the SMTOWN the Stage Movie (documentary). Very nice and thrilling show (because of the fast paced hip hop dance). Mrupupup saw this documentary movie which described the lives of the Korean singing and dance artiste in the Korean music industry (SMTOWN).  The  documentary presents footage from Korea's SM Entertainment's recent worldwide concert tour, " SMTOWN  Live World Tour IV" in Korea, Japan, and China and  features Korean superstars & groups like  BoA, TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls Generation and Red Velvet. One could see many things like backstage action, how they trained for many years to be famous, how trainees need to train on and on to get at least a chance to be on SMTOWN Stage. One Korean Group trained in dance steps and lyrics for two years to debut one single Korean song. Wow, two years the same song on and on. Very nice show and Mrupupup thinks only Golden Village Plaza Singapore and GV Tampines are showing this movie in their cinemas.

Fury is a nice movie. If you like American war stories, this is a movie you can watch.     The movie is about Brad Pitt - code name 'wardaddy' leading his men to war against the Nazis towards the tail end of War World II in Germany.   The movie was good because of the great acting, solid story, great action scenes with a tank and nice shots of inside of a tank.   If you like Brad Pitt, well he did a great job in this movie. He tends to play down in his roles, but for this movie, he was the leading man. In this movie, Mrupupup would remember Brad Pitt's line "Idealism is peaceful, however history is violent." So profound.   In the end, this movie is about American heroes. Guess, too much Hollywood movie just make one feel good for a while in their lives. The movie was intense and one would feel time flew past very quickly in this 2 hour movie.   Ok, enjoy Fury. By the way, Fury is the name of the tank also. 

The official Youtube trailer for "Transformer: Age of Extinction" movie directed by Michael Bay and starring Mark Wahlberg is totally awesome!!! Look forward to the movie when it comes to Singapore on 26 June 2014. Check out the trailer!!! Optimus Prime Rockz!      

Mrupupup had an interesting day at the Jurong Regional Library. Why? Because May the Four (Force) be with you event was held at Jurong Library to help remember the good times Star Wars Movies had on the generation of adults. The event was great with Dark Lord (Darth Vader), Storm Troopers, Jedi Knights and Imperial Soldiers gracing the event. The Library also had space to showcase the Star Wars toys, had a special screening of the making of Kenner Star Wars toys, Helmets designed by artists and great photo taking opportunities with the Star Wars troops from Legion 501 (Singapore). Really great fun event! The kids were having fun and talking to their parents on the Star Wars toys. Great event kudos to the organisers and the National Library Board! May the Four (Force) be with you! Video of Storm Troopers

Mrupupup attended the Gala Premiere of Ilo Ilo  爸妈不在家. Great acting from the cast and very honest portrayal of a family life in Singapore. Ilo Ilo won the the Cannes Award 2013 for Director Anthony Chen, the very first Cannes Award for Singapore. Mrupupup felt proud to watch the movie Ilo Ilo and Singapore has great talents! Good Job!

Mrupupup attended the movie premiere of the new 3D movie Percy Jackson : Sea of Monsters at Shaw Lido Theatre. The movie was an adrenalin rush because it got many action scenes. Mrupupup felt the movie was ok and more suitable for teenagers. The story is about a young boy with greek god super power and his friends trying to save the world. The movie got many special effects. Percy Jackson is like a Harry Potter and would not be able to die. Percy Jackson would travel to an exotic location of where there is a special cloth named as Golden Fleece and try to steal it away from a Cyclops (one eye monster) in order to save a young lady which was protecting the village from destruction. The whole story ended on a positive note and no good guys die. The move will release in Singapore on 29 August 2013. Have fun watching the movie and enjoy the action scenes.   Movie trailer  

That Girl In Pinafore (A Singapore Love Story) - 我的朋友，我的同學，我愛過的一切 is a very nice locally made movie about life in the 1980s and 1990s of Singapore. Mrupupup was invited for the movie gala premiere at GV Vivocity. Mrupupup enjoyed the movie very much. The songs played in the movie were from the Chinese 'Xinyao' music era in Singapore. It was the glorious times in Chinese music in Singapore. The 'Xinyao' songs at that era were all so beautifully crafted. Loved the replaying of all the popular 'Xinyao' songs in this movie.  The movie was about a love story between a poor boy and rich girl. The storyline was nice. At the end of the day, the movie ended tragically for one of the character. Well, a decent movie storyline always would have a tinge of sadness, for life is never perfect. This movie has local stars like Daren Tan 陈世维, Julie Tan 陈欣淇, Jayley Woo Jiaqi & many more. If you are a Singaporean, go watch the movie which was released on 1 August 2013. If

Andy Lau 刘 德 华  is a famous Hong Kong singer & movie star. Along with Sammi Cheng, these two movie stars were in Singapore. Mrupupup had a chance to take a photo with them. The two stars were in town to promote their latest Chinese movie "Blind Detective". Mrupupup loved watching Andy Lau in movies. When Mrupupup saw Andy Lau at Equarius Hotel @ Sentosa Resorts World, Mrupupup was awed by Andy Lau's presence. He's got charisma! Andy Lau is still so good looking for his age (50 plus). Wonderful experience but very quick photo taking session. Mrupupup was wary of the security surrounding Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng. Very fun experience! Andy Lau very cool movie star and wished him well for his new movie the Blind Detective.   The end result- a quick group photo with Andy Lau & Sammi Cheng     Waiting for a chance to take photo with Movie Stars       Holding room to wait for the stars     Guess got to wait for the famous people - s

Mrupupup is excited to see Johnny Depp in his new movie - The Lone Ranger. As usual, with Johnny Depp in the movie 'The Lone Ranger", there would be lots of twists and turns, and hopefully would have some 'dark' comedy & great adventures. Johnny Depp, not a “savvy-ing” pirate this time but a Native American spiritual warrior, TONTO, who recounts the untold tales that transformed a man of the law into a legend of justice, JOHN REID aka LONE RANGER, enacted by Armie Hammer. Hold tight to your seats for a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes.  The action-packed film takes the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.

Mrupupup attended the movie premiere of  'A Good Day to Die Hard' at Shaw Lido along Orchard Road. Wow, Bruce Willis is still alive and kicking in his 'Die Hard' movie stories. This recent 'Die Hard' movie was based in Moscow and he got to see his son. Along with his son, the two fight off all sorts of guns, missiles, apache shots, incredible stunts and great explosion. Take note (spolier coming) Bruce Willis and his son never dies. If you like Die Hard stories and great action scenes, go watch the movie which would be release in Singapore on 7 Feb 2013. For Mrupupup, it was an enjoyable movie. A movie which requires no much thinking and just pure non-stop action scenes. Very fun movie! Oh, first time Mrupupup got a chance to attend a movie premiere which required one to surrender all handphones and digital equipment - pretty serious stuff. Have fun at the movie! A Good Day to Die Hard!

Mrupupup attended the fim preview of the movie 'Hitchcock'. Thanks to 20th Century Fox Singapore. The movie preview was held at the Filmgarde cinema in Bugis+ Mall. The movie 'Hitchcock' was based the life of famous 'suspense/thriller' movie film director Alfred Hitchcock. The story line revolves around Alfred Hitchcock attenpt to create the 1960 movie 'Psycho', which was his best movie in his life. The Hitchcock movie was nice and Mrupupup loved the cynical humour in the conversations. Being a film director in Paramount Pictures was tough work, Hitchcock even mortgage his house to create the suspense thriller 'Psycho'. Hitchcock believed in himself and he got very strong support from his wife Alma. At the end of the day, the movie showed the strong love between Hitchcock and Alma. Well, pretty good movie and gave the viewer a better understanding of what happened in Hollywood filme set during the 50s and 60s. Hitchcock the movie would be releas

Today, Mrupupup rushed to see a new movie "Gangster Squad' starring Sean Penn. The movie preview was at GV Max Vivocity. The movie was worth the rush for and loved the excitement of a American movie with good cops and bad guys theme. The story was good and story based on a bad crook in LA named Mickey Cohen (really bad person played by Sean Penn). The movie had lots of action (lots of guns and cars in the 60s' era), romance, little bit of humor,  heroes and a squad of cops willing to fight for justice and get rid of bad guys. Well, here comes the 'spoiler' the good guys won! Good movie enjoyed it and loved the acting by Sean Penn (full of intensity in his face). Thanks sponsor for the movie preview tickets. Release of the Gangster Squad movie on 10 Jan 2013.

This new GV Cinema recently opened just last week and everything like seats and carpet were new. The GV cinema had a neat ticketing counter and nice movie screen.
