Someone emailed me about the movie, Tropic Thunder, about two weeks ago but I was too busy to check it out. Well, guess what? Time flies and Tropic Thunder is slated to open in local cinemas this 13th August, 2008. If you do not know about Tropic Thunder, it is said to be a movie within a movie, where these actors are actors in the movie who have set out to film a war movie in Hawaii.

There, they met a group of drug runners who mistook them as American intruders. Perhaps they thought that these actors were real American military personnel.

Tropic Thunder is an action comedy co-written by Ben Stiller. I tell you, Ben Stiller has the funniest face that no matter what movie he is in, it is just ‘funny” and I guess he knows that, that’s why he wrote a comedy. Apparently, it is based on his own experience as a young actor where he and all his actor friends would go off to shoot war films.

Ben Stiller has managed to cast a host of A-list actors, I guess they are all his friends who at one point of their careers, also acted in war films.

Besides Ben Stiller himself, who also directed the movie, watch out for Jack Black, Tom Cruise, Nick Nolte and Robert Downey Jr. as a black man. Some people are offended about this but relax…. this is just a movie; totally my kind of movie.

The internet is all abuzz over Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince all thanks to a teaser trailer. While I have only watched one Harry Potter movie and did not read any of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter fantasy/adventure books, I am rather excited about this new Harry Potter movie too, even though it will only be screened this November!

I have to say that I am not a Harry Potter fan but I think the excitement is from the fact that this Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is the 6th movie, and there will be no more Harry Potter after the seventh and last book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Maybe it is this ending and there will be no new Harry Potter to look forward to that all Harry Potter fans could do right now is wait for November to watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

I did not watch the teaser trailer. I don’t want to know what is going to happen or how the plot goes. I hope to go into the cinema with an open mine, without knowing what to expect and let the movie just blow me away. If any movie could do that, it would be a Harry Potter movie!
