MOVIE REVIEW: Maleficent



Angelina Jolie, last seen in The Tourist together with Johnny Depp not counting Kung Fu Panda 2 is back in action. This time she plays a sweet fairy till someone human broke her heart and used her to became the king by proving that she is dead - cutting her wings! Maleficent curse the princess to fall into deep sleep on her 16th birthday and not wake up unless she get a true love kiss (it's DISNEY, what are you looking at!)

THE GOOD

Like all Disney movies, it comes with a lesson behind it. LOVE is the most powerful thing in the universe. It will definitely get you through things. Angelina Jolie acting as usual is really good, make me feel like the whole character of Maleficent is solely customize for her. There is something which Angelina eyes which makes me feel lost when I stare into it. Elle Fanning played a good supporting actress with her fantastic smile and her carefree moment. There is always something fascinating about magic on screen and the CG in the show is absolutely eye catching. The whole kingdom of where fairy lives looks good with mythical creatures in almost every corner.

THE BAD

The plot is too predictable with the true love kiss being sold as a way to break the curse but it doesn't necessarily have to be a guy (spoiler alert!). Angelina Jolie acting seems to overshadow everything, even the movie. Most of the characters does not seem to have any development, just a short intro to most of them. The starting of the movie seems like all standard fairytale movie by Disney - boy meets girl. 

CONCLUSION 

At the end of the day, it is still a freaking Disney movie. I dare say all Disney movie seems to have a happy ending, I for once wish there is a Disney movie with some twisted or sad ending, makes me sleep with ease at least. Happy ending all the time, Disney style. 

TL;DR: Girl meets boy, falls in love, falls out of love, happy ending. <3 conquers all.

    Nice review Kevan. Wish there was more to this movie than just pretty visuals and a fine performance from Jolie.

      Hey there, yeah true the plot was shallow but that being said, I was sought of expecting Jolie is going to just rule over the whole show. Guess I was right.

FOOD REVIEW: LA CREMERIA - ABSOLUTELY ALMOND

Image
So Le GF told me that La Cremeria by Nestle recently launched a new ice cream to rival Magnum. It also comes with the almond flavour and she gotten one for me to try out. The only good thing about this ice cream that it was FREE. If I have paid for this, I would have jumped out of 14th floor already and bring this ice cream with me. I UPCAR (meaning con)  when I heard that this is rival to Magnum.  La Cremeria Absolutely Almond First thing first, the wrapper is more interesting than the new Magnum retarded wrappers but that is about it. Once inside, you get an ice cream with some almonds on it, like 2 or 3. I can fucking count it with my fingers. Refer below for a pathetic ice cream.  LOLWTFISTHIS?! That being said, maybe it taste better than it looks right? WELL FUCK, I thought the same too. The taste was as shitty as it looks. The outer layer seems to covered with some cheap ass chocolate, at one point of a time I swore it felt like they recycle whatever soon to be exp

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
