MOVIE REVIEW: JUPITER ASCENDING



The Wachowskis is back this time with a bigger much more science fiction kinda world compared to Matrix, but the big question remains is this better than the Matrix? It certainly is not, I can tell you that. This movie brings out a different feel from the usual Wachowskis aside from their absolute perfect graphics, the storyline has it flaws, lots of it.

Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning toilets and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along - her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.

THE GOOD

The whole idea of different civilisation in other planets are absolutely stunning.  We get to see the lots of different kind of jaw dropping technologies in the movie. For example, the anti-gravity boots and the shield that Caine Wess holds in his hand is something really nice to admire. Not forgetting, the action sequences in the movie is fast and also action pack. I am truly impressed with Caine performance as he carries his roll as an ex-military hunter convincingly without any doubts or trouble. Jupiter Jones such glamorous name but Mila Kunis carried the roll as a normal peasant to princess without any issues. 
THE BAD

 I was really disappointed with the storyline, it had so much more to offer. The Matrix had such good storyline and also the progression of the movie was spectacular. This storyline falls short as we are taken to every planet, up and down a space ship, romance and shits like that we no connecting storyline. Everything felt like it was cut and insert forcefully into another frame of the movie and nothing seems to make sense. Please also get a better villian, half of the time I felt asleep after he started speaking. 
CONCLUSION

Will I recommend to watch this movie at the cinema? Nope. Keep it for something better like The Imitation Game and trust me you will not miss a single thing. This particular movie was well thought of but bad execution. If only the Wachowski took another year to develop the movie THEN maybe we will get something much more polished. 

TL;DR: Lots of action and technologies, but fall short in other department. Princess is a toilet cleaner by day, and own earth by night. So respect your toilet cleaners please.

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
