Merida meets Mulan in Once Upon a Time

November 21, 2015 by Yein Jee

Short video of Merida meeting Mulan in Once Upon a Time. It’s an American fantasy drama series on ABC which borrows elements from folklore and fairy tales, especially those from Disney. The clip comes from its latest (fifth) season, with Amy Manson and Jamie Chung portraying the roles.

The show, first aired in 2011, features characters from fairy tales who are transported to the real world while robbed of their memories by an evil queen. The initial story follows the daughter of Snow White who try to break the curse, and the plot revolves between both the real and fantasy world.

It’s a cute and brilliant idea. I’ve watched a few episodes in the past, it’s average but I’m fond of it. Couldn’t find time to follow the series regularly though, perhaps I should binge-watch the show if there’s a chance. Hope it’s on Netflix when the online streaming service comes to Asia early next year.

BTW, Mulan was a legendary Chinese warrior who’s the main character in Disney’s 1998 animated film. Merida meanwhile is a fictional princess in the 2012 Pixar movie Brave. Both are recurring characters in the TV series – Mulan first appears in season two while Merida made her debut in current season.

Sin City 2 movie trailer is a piece of art

August 7, 2014 by Yein Jee

Trailer for American action crime film Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. It’s a follow up to the 2005 film Sin City, and it consists of a few interlinking stories. Couldn’t care much about the plot to be frank, but pretty amused by the teaser itself. In cinema in the United States later this month.

The film stars an ensemble cast which includes returning members Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Bruce Willis, Powers Boothe (in his final film role) and Jaime King. While newcomers include Josh Brolin, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Eva Green, Dennis Haysbert, Ray Liotta, Jamie Chung, Christopher Lloyd, Jeremy Piven, Christopher Meloni and Juno Temple. Directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller.

Dragonball Evolution movie trailer

December 11, 2008 by Yein Jee

Movie trailer of “Dragonball Evolution”, a Hollywood live adaptation of the popular Japanese anime-manga which is going to premier in March 2009… [via Japanprobe]

From a neutral point of view, the trailer doesn’t look too bad for those who don’t have much clue about the original Dragon Ball… but the DB’s fans are likely to hate this trailer/movie; it just couldn’t reflect the essence of the original work.
