MOVIE REVIEW: How To Train Your Dragon 2




TOOTHLESS ISSSSSS BACKKKKKKK! This is a whole new reason for you to fall in love with dragons again! The first part teaches you about tolerance, love, and also synergy. The first movie show you if you believe in something and pursue it, good things will come from it. People will learn to not only accept that you are crazy, but also succumb to the fact that something awesome/crazy will comes from all that persistence. At the end of the movie, Hiccup managed to make dragon and vikings come together and work as a community (spoiler!)

THE GOOD 

Everything about the chemistry of Hiccup and Toothless makes you want to own a freaking dragon! The on-screen chemistry keeps giving you the jab on your bone which makes you go AWWWWW. The main character and the dragon seems to have lots of on screen time which allows you all to understand the bonding that they have and also what makes them so compatible. The types of dragons and also the ALPHA dragon makes you wonder what it is to live in the world where dragon existed. Kinda feels like Skyrim (sorry I got excited). There are many different types of dragons and also some fantastic weapon that wielded by Hiccup which makes the whole experience very refreshing. 

THE BAD

With the first movie seems like a good movie for a kid to watch, the second movie seems abit more dark and also sad moments. Death in a fairy tale however much I like them, seems like it is going to give kids nightmare. Besides that, Hiccup's mother character did not have much time telling us how she learn all the skills to unlock a dragon's talent. She disappear for 20 years but then nothing of her is well know except that she is Hiccup's mother and she looks flawless. That is about it. No back story nothing, and the Alpha Dragons doesn't seem to have any explanation how many of them left. I wish there are more with different skill set instead of only ice. 

CONCLUSION

How To Train Your Dragon 2 still fares better than the first movie which now shows much more action compare towards the first movie which is understandable. Basically, the whole movie is really fun for me, lots of laugh and also sadness moments for me. Aside from that, I am pretty sure you will enjoy this if you enjoyed the first movie :). Sit back, grab some popcorn and enjoy the flight!

TL;DR:  Dragons and vikings, lots of actions, some down moments, and be prepare to laugh and cry at the same time!

    Good review. It's a more emotionally-invested flick than the first and feels like it has more adult themes to go along with it. But it can still work for anybody.

    Hmm! Nice. This is a good review because both the sides have been mentioned here. I was thinking about adding this to the watch list for my kids and I will do that because it is a must watch and it can be done at least once. Also, the shows by Andy Yeatman are over and we can move on to more series.

MOVIE REVIEW: THE BOOK OF LIFE

Image
Animation keeps getting better these days and resulting a much nicer experience and also laughter when watching one. The Book of Life speaks about a fairy tale love where 2 guys, Manolo ( Diego Luna ) and Joaquin ( Channing Tatum ) tries to capture the heart of Maria ( Zoe Saldana ). The gods put their bets on either one to marry Maria and thus set one of them off to an adventure span on three fantastic worlds. THE GOOD The animation is beautiful. Everything inside the show feels like you are playing "Little Big Planet" . It really takes you on an adventure and the acting on all fronts are good. The voice acting couple with the singing and dancing really keep you feel touched and feel like dancing. There are some parts where you just keep wanting to know more what happens next. THE BAD There are some part which I feel just there to be prolonged the movie. There is lots of things to absorb at one point and also with cartoon, you cannot think so much. The girl

REVIEW: CASIO G-SHOCK DW-5600MS

Image
I find it hard to not write about something like this as the price factor and the pure comfort of the watch. The 5600 series from Casio has been around nested nicely under G-Shock without much of anything to shout about. The design is different from the round type you see from the G-Shock series. The 5600 is more towards square shape and it sits in your arms really nicely. I am not much of a watch enthusiast but I have read more about watches in the last 1 year than about anything else. As much as I am not well versed in their terms, I think my knowledge on their movement and the material build is okay. Besides, I am reviewing this as casual as it can be (trust me, reading up on the DETAILED  watch reviews is going to give you a headache because of the terms they use) Therefore, my job to you is not talk about all the boring terms in watch. I will review more about the design, practical usage & durability and cons for daily use.  DESIGN What attracts me the most is
