MOVIE REVIEW: The White Storm

Image
Took me long enough to even watch this movie (not to be confuse with Fire Storm) which both seems to so happen release on the same timing. Hong Kong movie typically revolves around gangster-police kinda situation, with one ALWAYS being undercover and then some shit storm happen when he is undercover and everything escalated quickly (Infernal Affairs, watch it please if you have not). The White Storm was something different to watch as it features distinct plot twist and brother's love (bro fist) which stars officer Ma Ho-Tin (Ching Wan Lau), So Kin-Chow (Louis Koo) and Cheung Tsz-Wai (Nick Cheung) Fast pace starting keeps you stuck on your chair as the action begins right when you watch it. Typical police-thief situation where bait is set up to catch the lord of the drug dealer but seems like they have a call that will ensure they land the biggest drug lord in SEA named "Eight-Face Buddha" where they all travel to Thailand and get demoted to providing intel only.

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, one girl and one

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 of it.

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 for him to

Weekend Chill Pill: Langkawi

Image
Flying high with all the cheap alcohol and beaches. It's been the longest time since I have step foot on Langkawi, last being close to 5 years back or was it longer. It started off with a being lured with AirAsia cheap rates last year for RM70 return (well played AA) nevertheless I was accompanied by two other friends who had the same greedy thoughts. Not the best, but meh. Took the 7.45 pm flight on Thursday last week and landed around 9 pm and rented a Toyota Vios for RM150 for 3 days.  We are staying at Federal Villa which is under Holiday Villa management albeit being a little old hotel everything else is ok. We were there when they are doing pest control therefore the floor had some weird smell. The room rate was RM 447 for two nights.  Main point of going to Langkawi is mainly for cheap alcohol and beers and it doesn't disappoint. Most of the beer I had was foreign to me. My top choice will be Sapporo Premium Blend at only RM 3 per bottle. Ta

ANDDDDD I am BACK!

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.
