Nothing better than nice scenery, treasure seeking, romantic comedy and puzzle solving added together. The title practically spills out alot about the movie. Yup, an adventure to seek sunken treasure in the sea. Of course one will also have a good laugh, especially looking at how a BIMBO actually behave. I must say Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey definately have a good chemistry as they both acted really naturally. Love the location and scenes. Okay… maybe I just love how they blend the adventure, puzzle solving, and treasure hunting together of course plus the nice environment.

Hemmm…. how do I exactly put this. THANK GOD someone gave me free tickets… or else… It’s not worth watching at all. Don’t even bother for a DVD/VCD/downloading. Just wait for the TV to show it. I couldn’t believe how Jackie Chan and Jet Li can agree to movie like this. Not to mention Yuen Woh Peng too. Yes, it has all the big names but totally weird. Some script and action just doesn’t make sense. Not to mention they practically mix all the chinese kung fu and style in one and have been fighting on and on for practically no reason. Practically just another movie to wow the westeners with all the asian kung fu.

Yes, I saw the review about this movie in a magazine. It looks quite interesting as it is one of those horror olden folktales during the Edo era in Japan. I must say the setting and the cinematography was cool and beautiful. I must say it really is a “beautiful” movie. But of course, there are a few scene which is quite disturbing, especially the ending scene. Some might find it a little boring, but I think it is quite okay… but towards the ending… it seems a little strange and doesn’t make sense. Yup, after watching the movie… one might practically wonder… how does the curse actually work in this movie. I gotta thank Ayumi Hamasaki… cause if she doesn’t sing the theme song… I guess I would have given this show a miss.

Okay, one of those show which doesn’t really do much promotions. I must say it has quite a simple storyline. It has this beautiful opening which features the papercut concept. Really is a simple but beautifully done opening. The movie is like a combination of Indiana Jones and Blue Lagoon. I must say, there isn’t exactly any ups and downs in movie. It practically is one of those movie where you just go in… enjoy the story and scenery.
