MOVIE REVIEW: A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES


Every now and then you watch a detective movie hoping it to be something Sherlock Holmes (TV Series) but time and time again you will be disappointed.

A walk among the tombstones tells a story of a retired police, Matt Scudder (Liam Neeson) who is now an unlicensed private eye who got roped into a mystery murder of drug traffickers wife's. Upon initial investigation, it seems like they kidnappers only kidnaps drug traffickers wife's or kids.

THE GOOD

The shows has the most creepy atmosphere ever when they reveal the kidnappers with their methods and it invoke the feeling of fear and helplessness for the victims. It also shows that how twisted a person's mind can be and what they are capable of. Come to think of it, sometimes I guess it is not about the money at all. As usual, Liam Neeson alone carries the show perfectly with his cocky method and also his drinking problems.

THE BAD

The pacing of the movie is super inconsistent. At times you get a super fast paced moment and then it goes downhill with unnecessary dialog which did not need to happen in the first place. The clue should be harder to find as throughout the movie everything seems to easy to be uncovered. Feels draggy at certain scenes because as mention it was just put there as filler with unnecessary dialog. 

CONCLUSION

While it is Liam Neeson acting in this movie, do not expect something like Taken. This is a much slower pace movie with an unpolished Mr Neeson. The only similar trait is his drinking issues and that is about it. If you like movies that keep you on your feet while you are busy solving the mystery, this movie is for you. Just make sure that you have enough sleep. 

TL;DR: Liam Neeson catches kidnappers. End of story.

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
