Legend Of The Fist: The Return Of Chen Zhen Movie Review





Legend Of The Fist: The Return Of Chen Zhen


Genre: Action
Director: Lau Wai Keung
Cast : Shu Qi, Huang Bo, Donnie Yen, Anthony Wong
RunTime: 1hr 50mins
Rating: NC 16

Movie Synopsis
A continuation of the 1995 television series Fist of Fury, Donnie Yen reprises his role as Chen Zhen, a role made famous by Bruce Lee in "Fist Of Fury" (1972). The film is set seven years after the apparent death of Chen Zhen, who was shot after discovering who was responsible for his teacher's death in Japanese-occupied Shanghai. A mysterious stranger arrives from overseas and befriends a local mafia boss. That man is a disguised Chen Zhen, who intends to infiltrate the mob when they form an alliance with the Japanese. Disguising himself as a caped fighter by night, Chen intends to take out everyone involved as well as get his hands on an assassination list prepared by the Japanese.

Movie Review
If this was the first Donnie Yen movie I watched, I would love it ttm. However the sad thing was this is the 5th or 6th movie I watched. The happy part was it's still nice to watch him fight, but the sad part was also it's too similar to Ip Man's action directing. Even my cousin asked me today if I have caught the latest Ip Man movie. I prefer 龍虎門 and Ip Man 1 and 2 to this. But there are still a few cool moves inside which are pretty new and exciting. Still I felt there was no need to impersonate Bruce Lee at the end part of the movie. I would recommend it if you just want to have a good movie outing with some friends.

Forlino Italian Restaurant

Today's dinner was rather a surprise than a present. I was treated to fine dinning today by a special person. It was not exactly something which we or rather I, would expect to go to have my dinner on a weekday.

Anyway the place is Forlino Italian Restaurant located at One Fullerton. As the slogan goes: "Singapore's Finest Italian Restaurant". It sure is.

Forlino Italian Restaurant
#02-06 One Fullerton
One Fullerton Road
Singapore 049213

First impression upon reaching the place was like, wow. Is this a maze or something. I think it's quite difficult to locate the restaurant as it's really deep inside of a building. But it sure does looks great on the outside.


The ambience was fantastic and the service was excellent!

Starters!

This was the appetizer. Crab salad. Yummylicious!

Scallops. Fresh, juicy and tender. Slurps.

This was the main course. Duck pasta I think. Looks like Mee Pok dry to me. Lol!


This is the last course of the day before the dessert, Suckling Pig. I didnt know that Italians eat suckling pigs too.

Dessert for the night!

This is me, viewing my blog on an iPad. More and more tempted to get one. Hmm...

School has reopened. It's going to be tougher now. I hope everyone can give me the strength and encouragement to pull through. Wish me best of luck too! Everyone 加油!(",)

Will be attending ToyWatch's launch @ ION Orchard tomorrow at 6pm. See you guys there!
