MOVIE REVIEW: THE HUNGER GAMES - MOCKINGJAY (PART 1)

Image
Jennifer Lawrence plays as Katniss Everdeen, duh! So when Katniss destroys the games, she goes to District 13 after District 12 is destroyed. She meets President Coin who convinces her to be the symbol of rebellion, while trying to save Peeta ( Josh Hutcherson ) from the Capitol. So is the movie any good or are they are merely riding on the Hunger Games hype? THE GOOD The movie continues directly after what happen when Katniss destroys the game. The cast and crew after many movies together, we can feel that they are comfortable with each other as the acting becomes more personal towards the cast. Other than that, we are told the back story about uprising on different district and how it all went down after Katniss awoken the rebellion. Katniss still gets you to believe that she can shoot arrows and it is shown in this particular movie.  THE BAD The show is a melodrama of 2 hours without getting anything back. It feels like a slow paced Korean drama at one point an...

MOVIE REVIEW: How To Train Your Dragon 2

Image
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 t...

MOVIE REVIEW: Godzilla

Image
For the longest time, Godzilla never had the best Hollywood rendition with the last being 1998 where the most prominent part of the movie I remember was the homeless guy who told his friend that he caught something while fishing and it turns out to be Godzilla which terrorize the city suddenly, all hell breaks loose. Fast forward to 2014, Hollywood once again try to bring Godzilla back to life with the cast of Aaron Taylor Johnson as Ford Brody, Bryan Cranston as Joe Brody, Ken Watanabe as Dr Ishiro and Elizabeth Olsen as the wife of Ford Brody, Elle Brody under the direction of Gareth Edwards. They succeed of making so far the best rendition of Godzilla that I have watched so far (not that watched that many,yet) THE GOOD Embark on an emotional train ride featuring Joe Brody as his tries to prove his sanity to his son and also the government that whatever took down the nuclear reactor and his wife's life years back is not a seismic wave like what the public thin...

MOVIE REVIEW: The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Image
Took me forever to write up this review on Spider-Man. All of a sudden work is pouring in and I am just being the lazy left this writing in the draft for a good 2 weeks. I am sorry, here it goes my 2 cents on the show. I remember watching the first Amazing Spider-Man and was amaze with the acting of Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy literally blew me off the usual  Tobey Maguire Spider-Man edition.  The villians are potrayed by Jamie Foxx as Maxx Dillion/Electro and also Dane Deehan as Harry Osborn/Green Goblin. Both played their character well with Electro probably introduced too much of a rush inside the show but beside that, everything seems like a on a good track for an epic movie of web slinging. THE GOOD  The costume for this movie is much better than the first, they have reworked it to look somehow very natural and also seems much more flexible for him to move around. The CG for the movie is much better too, they...

MOVIE REVIEW: Oculus

Image
  Sunday is usually boring as f, as most of my friends gonna stay at home and brave the Monday blues therefore I was thinking, why not I handle the blues by scaring the shit out of me, thus Oculus (actually I was dragged to watch Oculus, truestory.jpg) It started with a new house and a freaking weird mirror. I meant I love antique but the antique that they bought probably through craiglist or lowyat.net seems to be the most weird mirror every.  Everything was happy when they begin shifting in and slowly suspense starts. The dad spends most of his time in his room with the mirror and slowly we see changes in the family. The mirror which believes to be cursed tends slowly intoxicated the mind of person which is close to its proximity and also the radius grows bigger as time passes. The entity in the mirror seems to latch on living beings and slowly poison the thoughts and destroy the memories eventually turning him/her into a vessel.  The kids in the family, on...

MOVIE REVIEW: Non-Stop

Image
Manage to catch a movie on the weekend after I am back from Langkawi at Gsc Tropicana City Mall. This time it was Non-stop which someone rated higher than Captain America. Therefore, I was like let's watch this and Liam Neeson. Nuff said. Outline. Liam Neeson in his epic role on being a badass Air Marshall and also trying to do his best either hijacking or saving the planne without anyone dead. Badass much? Character. Liam Neeson portray as drunken Air Marshall which really seems to be in epic stress and lost all hope of life always. Aside from that, supporting actress and actor seems to be acting pretty well and not making it seems like a B grade movie.  Movie Flow.  80% of the action happens in midair. While 20% happen on land while the plane was taking off and landing LEL. Judging from the start till the climax, the pacing of the movie makes me hold my pee. Everything that is happening has so much suspenses that keep you wanting to watch and know more o...

MOVIE REVIEW: Captain America X Winter Soldier

Image
Watched Captain America: Winter Soldier last week in Gsc therefore thinking of writing what I thought about the movie (caution: non professional review ahead) I am not really a fan of Captain America but I think the story that is written for him is entertaining and Marvel manage to bring out the best in him although merely a super soldier (I'm sure you knew by now). I will not touch specifically on the universe of Marvel and how Captain America plays a role in there, if you really need to read about it, here you go: http://bit.ly/1gI5OmF That being said, I shall rate the movie on Outline, Characters, Music, Flow of Movie. This being the first official review that I have written for the past 2 years, I will be adding things when it is necessary. Here we go: Outline.  Captain America is once against in the limelight  as he is getting used to the modern day living while battling the Winter Soldier from the olden era. That being said, there is also S.H.I.E.L.D f...

ANDDDDD I am BACK!

Image
Took me 2 years to retrieve what has already been lost, the passion of me writing a movie reviews (actually wrote 1 only lel) I will try to update this space once or twice every week, as I have watched tons of movies in the previous weeks. Basically, this is also to keep track to how many shows I have watched and which cinema basically. I watch my shows at Tropicana City Mall (TCM), 1 Utama (1U) and occasionally Setia Walk or Sunway Pyramid. Most of these reviews is based on personal preferences, therefore it is solely based on what I feel throughout the movie. My favourite genre is basically action, thriller, and also something Nolan type basically mind-f**ked. p/s: this is a blog, therefore certain form of "bahasa pasar" will be used, I write like   I talk mostly and most of the entry are written using a phone when I commute. LEL.
