Tarung: City of the Darkness (2011)
What is this movie all about
May contain spoiler
It is called TARUNG: CITY OF DARKNESS, and judging by its trailer, it looks to be another hard- hitting action-packed movie.
The film tells the story of true friendship of four young men, in the face of the rigors of life, problems and challenges. They are Reno, Coky, David, and Galang, who grew up together in an orphanage. Reno has just been released from prison and gets attacked by a mysterious group of people who intend to kill him. When it becomes known who is behind the attack, David, Galang and Coky decide to take on the enemy, and a fierce fight ensues.

A good change.
A good change from Singaporian production house .. but some how or rather the Singaporian English is just too obvious. You can spot it by hearing closely that the slang when the actor speaks in the dialog.
The ghost is just based on stories or more like folklore tell tail. the plot build up is not that strong and there are many loose ends that is just not explainable. perhaps asking the audience to guess.
but overall its a brave approach by the director to move to new genre of movie. Singapore normally is known for drama or light comedy and to present the audience with a ghost story now that what i call changes.
Fertile Ground (2011)
predictable plot
the beginning doesn't give much hint but after the couple move to the rural area and the sight of a palm on the window lead to the signs of the ghost/ evil spirit. the movie is divided into parts, so viewer can predict what's going to happened next. overall, it leads me to think that she's right though slightly clingy and paranoid. but the end offers less suspense and the opposite ending. overall, i feel "blegh" after watching it. not much appearance of the evil except when she seemed like imagining things. you won't be satisfied with the plot summary but watching this movie won't make you satisfied either. good watch if you are bored and not into something too cheesy or dramatic.

A weak movie.
The director deliver the message in such a slow pace and by the end of the movie viewers already lost interest to know what's the actual cause that the bunch of geeks trying to hack on.
At least they can do better with a much better special effects on the movie. Although everyone knows this is a low budget movie. There is not enough of everything in this movie to be exact. No enough invigorating hot steamy scene and lack of high expectations.
Which is why I gave the ratings as awful and really annoying movie cant even use it to past the time cause it is far from enjoyment let alone arousing the curiosity.
