MOVIE REVIEW: THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS

Image
Well, the Secret Life of Pets is from the same studio which animated the all popular Minion series. Like all usual animation series, the movie is pretty short and comes packed in 90 minutes. I will personally give this animation series 4 out of 10 and below I will explain why. THE GOOD In terms of animation and creativity, this studio has always been doing it right and on top of that, you can actually see how fluid the pets movement. Aside from that, you can also each and every pet comes with a well-crafted character which I absolutely love the thoughts behind them. Most of the time in the movie, you will be from New York to Brooklyn, you can actually feel the change of environment which is good as it shows the detailing in the environment. Most of the time, the details focuses on the characters which in this movie is no exception. You will certainly see all the required details of the dogs wagging their tail, and also cat acting like a typical cat.  THE BAD The...

MOVIE REVIEW: SUICIDE SQUAD

Image
This review was drafted for a week now and still can't find my word around it. At one point, I was sure that I liked the movie and then everything went a little downhill and quickly manage to salvage itself one way or another. It is like you see a perfect slice of meat only to find out that it is fucking vegetarian. That is how I felt sitting in and watching the movie. I want to give it a rating, I want to tell myself I enjoyed it more than BvS but at the same time, I was comparing it to Marvel and realise how it does not even come close to Marvel.  THE GOOD The idea behind introducing the squad was perfect, heck I can go on to say that it was indeed perfect. The squad was introduced and everything seems to be fitting their role perfectly. I acknowledged the two best character in the movie who is Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and Deadshot (Will Smith). Both gotten into their character convincingly enough for us to enjoy and feel what they are going through. Aside from that...

MOVIE REVIEW: GOOD DINOSAUR

Image
Like all cartoon, it always start good and in the middle everything spiral to hell and eventually they will find the footing and be happy again. That is good because I am still waiting for cartoon which will spiral all the way down to hell and nothing recovers from there. Still I would rate this movie a good 3 out of 5 stars. As usual I will mention why below THE GOOD Animations has come a long way from being just cartoon and sometimes we can't differentiate if the background was just real or animation. Besides that, lots of animation nowadays instil morale values and this is no different. They teach you that family is everything to you and also to always listen when someone say something, take it and learn to improve. Besides that, I am really impressed with the voiceover and also the whole plot of the movie. All the moral value that you should teach your kid is presented in this movie.  THE BAD Like all animations, the story is predictable. I guess we are all somew...

MOVIE REVIEW: GOOSEBUMPS

Image
Once again thanks to  +ChurpChurp  for their #Churpremiere of #GoosebumpsMY.  Fans of R. L. Stine books should watch this movie, and also fans of Jack Black. This movie combine the perfect amount of fantasy and also actions. What happen when all the characters of your book comes to live when you unlocked it and all hell breaks loose. I will rate this movie 3 out of 5 stars and below you will know why:  THE GOOD All the famous characters in the book of R. L. Stine is out to play, therefore you will have most of their best sellers on the screen. Other than that, Jack Black plays his role quite well, been a long time since we see him on the screen but his acting still did not change and is still pretty much the same. I would like to also mention the Odeya Rush who played Hannah in the movie, her acting was top notch and I really enjoyed it. The storyline and build up was in the good pace right up till they find out what happen when they unlocked a book....

MOVIE REVIEW: HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 2

Image
Once again, thanks  +ChurpChurp  for the #Churpremiere of Hotel Transylvania 2. If you follow this cartoon closely, you will be sure to remember that a vampire is going to marry a normal human which freaks the hell out of her father, Count Dracula. Fast forward, the second part will bring you even more in depth of the human and monster families where the bond will be stronger and learning to blend together. This movie rate 3 out of 5 stars easily and read more to know why: THE GOOD All the characters are back and this time you get back stories on almost all of them. Besides that, you will be taken directly into the ending of the first part and familiarities are almost everywhere. It also have jokes which will tickle your funny bones. Most of it comes from Count Dracula trying to get his grandson to take over his throne, to be like him.  THE BAD The movie felt a little too long although it might tickle your funny bones. It felt force towards the middle of th...

MOVIE REVIEW: THE INTERN

Image
This time I was actually invited to a movie premier of The Intern by  +ChurpChurp  and it was indeed one a very heart warming show. Basically, I was in doubt of watching this particular movie because it was not even advertise therefore I watched the trailer and immediately said I should be watching this movie. I was not wrong, emotion roller coaster ride throughout the whole movie and I easily give this movie a 4 out 5 stars.  THE GOOD The CAST! The cast in this movie, Robert De Niro and Anne Hathway show us what is chemistry is all about. The moment they both met, you can actually feel the sync on their acting chemistry. It felt likeverything was indeed real. So convincing, so much feels and the storyline is an everyday thing. Startup founder will probably find this movie much more relevant to their lives. Other than that, the movie pacing was not THAT long or short and it is just nice for a pacing and will keep you on the roller coaster seating.  T...

MOVIE REVIEW: INSIDE OUT

Image
What turn out as an animation for kids quickly became an emotional roller coaster ride for adult because as usual, Disney Pixar always teaches you something one way or the other. I would gladly rate this movie 4 out of 5 stars simply because of its morale value and story progression which I found out that really good comparing with other animation, as usual Pixar never fails to disappoint.  THE GOOD Teaches you a lot in terms of emotions. We all sometimes let emotions get the best of us in one way or another. This show has a balance of emotion and mental roller coaster. The core memories are something that we all have in us, the basic of what define us others from the rest. The storyline progression is typical but then what emotions that accompanies the event you can easily relate.  THE BAD While talking bout core memories, there are still alot of unexplained on how the memories chosen as the core memories. We can not be having only one emotion as the core...

MOVIE REVIEW: SPY

Image
What happen with you have Jude Law, Jason Statham and Melissa McCarthy in one movie? You have a 2 hours of extreme fun but not in the form of a slick, fast and dangerous spy but instead a normal operator who got promoted to a spy which is what Melissa McCarthy does as Susan Cooper. This movie deserve a solid 3 out of 5 stars not in terms of action, but in term of their dialogue and all the funny moments in the movie make it actually not that bad, hey it is even rated quite high in IMDB .  THE GOOD If you are looking for a comedy, this is something which is better available in the cinema as of now. Jason Statham is ridiculously funny in this movie with his retarded hard headed attitude which he always think that he is the number 1 spy. McCarthy on the other hand is an absolute joke and not a spy material but she proves everyone wrong in this movie as she nailed her job nicely with a questionable profile. The dialogues are also quirky and the jokes are absolutely hilarious ...

MOVIE REVIEW: KINGSMAN - THE SECRET SERVICE

Image
Like the title, the show is about a spy organization recruits an unrefined, but promising street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training program, just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius. The street kid, Eggsy ( Taron Egerton ) whose dad died in the final Kingsman examination takes on the training under recommendation by Harry Hart, or better know as Galahad ( Colin Firth )  THE GOOD Lots and lots of gadgets which will put James Bond to shame. The show here such sophisticated but gentleman technology that we all came across but never wondered if it could become something more, I mean a bulletproof suit. That's just plain gentleman cool. The fighting scene was quick, intense and plain brutal. It just felt so stylish, cool and a bit weird seeing people with full suits move so swiftly and agile. They also impress me with their gun play in the movie. I meant come on, english movie, there aren't so much action or close quarters using gun but...

MOVIE REVIEW: THE WEDDING RINGER

Image
This is a show for the foreveralone, Doug Harris ( Josh Gad ) will be marrying the lady of his dreams, Gretchen Palmer ( Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting ). 2 weeks before his marriage, he has no best man or friends. So he hired Jimmy Callahan ( Kevin Hart ) CEO of Best Man Inc, a company which provides flattering best man for socially challenged guys in need.  THE GOOD The show is for the light hearted, lots of humours and also much bromance moments. The storyline sync perfectly with the havoc that is created by Kevin Hart and Josh Gad. These two clowns seems like they have been friend even before the show started filming. You can see lots of bromance and natural moments as we progress through the show. Kevin Hart single handedly carried the movie as his characteristic is simply natural for the movie.  THE BAD Like every other romance comedy, the end are much predictable. Besides that, they are some loopholes in the movie especially with Kevin Hart disguising to the be...

MOVIE REVIEW: PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR

Image
The penguins are BACK! I watched the penguins with my jumping kaki at Tanjung Golden Village  cinema, One Utama! The show was absolutely epic with the penguins doing what they do best. The 4 penguins, Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private join forces with undercover organization The North Wind to stop the villainous Dr. Octavius Brine from destroying the world as we know it.  THE GOOD Purely entertaining! That is what the show about, the penguins will definitely keep you entertained throughout the whole movie. You will also laugh your ass off when they meet the North Wind who is consider to be an elite group consist of, well as you guess it, MORE ANIMALS! The storyline is pretty linear and it does not take much of a thinking. Jokes are ample in the movie and you will be surprise how well some of it blends with your current situation, or the situation that you have been in before.  THE BAD Some of the jokes can be pretty hard to digest for the younger ki...

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...

MOVIE REVIEW: BLENDED

Image
Jim (Adam Sandler) is a single father with three daughters while Lauren (Drew Barrymore) is also a single mum with 2 sons. They both know a mutual someone who is cancelling their trip to Africa, thus without thinking much they signed up for the trip and get lower rates to Africa with the event activity called blended which the hotel organize for step father, step mother, step daughter, step son and the list goes on. THE GOOD As much as both of them tries to avoid each other, they are actually somewhat stuck which makes the show fun to watch as they slowly care for the kids together. We see the gap that a mum or a dad should be filling in a family. The whole joke along with Nickes (Terry Crews) just made the show whole lot better, he and his crew named 'Thathoo Harmony Group' will appear on random times and start singing with really funny lyrics. There is also some touching moment when the relationship are being formed between families. THE BAD Like all comedy mo...

MOVIE REVIEW: THE OTHER WOMAN

Image
I realize I had this on my HDD for the longest time and did not watch, so I fired it up and surprisingly watched till the very end. It started off with a Carly Whitten (Cameron Diaz) cheating with Mark King ( Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) without the knowledge o f Kate King ( Leslie Mann) which turns that she is not the only girl he is cheating on. He also have a much hotter girl named Amber (Kate Upton) and all of the girls gang up and try to make Mark King pay for not able to keep his dick in his pants. Oh, best part is he does investment for startup companies.  THE GOOD Watch for Kate Upton that is basically it. Actually, there is still something more to it besides her (a little more only). The story line seems cliche but you will want to find out how it ends and also the it is really funny. From the confession of his wife to the mistress, till they finding out that he had another woman in his life. And all hell break's loose when three ladies get together to plot for rev...
