My Tiny review of 12 Lotus and Money No Enough 2

Watched both movies at one go, today at cathay.

Movie 1, 12 Lotus.
Quite touching as a whole movie. With some parts of the movie, abit dragging.
Hokkien songs not as surprising as 881 movie.
Jack Neo's hokkien songs in his movies are more well used.
Some twist and a few surprise guest actors in the movie.

I give rating of 6/10

Movie 2, Money No Enought 2
Also quite touching. More jokes and funny. Caters greater audience base compared
to Royston Tan movie 12 lotus,which seems to contain quite abit of artistic
movie feel.
A good morale education movie.
BTW: do not leave the seat immediately, there are some extended movie clips
after movie ends.

I give rating of 7.5/10



ok.
Have a nice day

Regarding turning on electronics device on aircraft/airplane

Read this:
http://gpsinformation.net/airgps/gpsrfi.htm

In summary:
Don't turn on your device during take-off and landing, if your device causes problem with the electronics of the aircraft, you may endanger the lives of all people on the aircraft.

So be responsible, don't turn them on.

BTW: normally the voice-over on the aircraft would say that only turn on device when in cruise mode.
