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



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 and also how to do Marketing with President Coin (Julianne Moore) using her as a symbol and at the same time trying to sell her as a product. I personally felt the show was way too draggy with tons of people having their own dialogue. Almost every single one person in the movie, TALKS! God damn it! STAHP already. 

CONCLUSION

After yawning 12 times, and also 1 can of Wonda coffee, I dozed off around 40 mins somewhere in the middle of the movie when she starts sobbing about things which I could not care less. I was hoping they end it here and now instead of making 2 parts which prolongs the pain. There is simply lack of action in the show as we are in it to see more explosion and arrow skills. 

TL;DR: Talk,  talk and more talk. I think you should at least watch this in your comfort of your own home.

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
