MOVIE REVIEW: CINDERELLA

Image
Everyone knows about the fairytale story of a poor girl marrying a prince. All she needs to do was to believe and to be kind always even to her step mother who treats her like the house maid. This story was no different rendition from the fairytale that we all come to love/hate while we were growing up.  Master IMBD , summarise for us - When her father unexpectedly passes away, young Ella finds herself at the mercy of her cruel stepmother and her daughters. Never one to give up hope, Ella's fortunes begin to change after meeting a dashing stranger. Which basically means  Ella or Cinderella later ( Lily James ) fall in love with a prince, ( Richard Madden ) and hopes to marry him but was stop by the almighty bitchy stepmother, ( Cate Blanchett ) and her two daughter, Drisella and Anastasia who I won't even bother mentioning the actresses.  THE GOOD Everything about the fairytale was in the movie, from the super glassy heels/slippers, the almighty golden pumpkin carr

MOVIE REVIEW: CHAPPIE

Based on IMDB : In the near future, crime is patrolled by a mechanized police force. When one police droid, Chappie, is stolen and given new programming, he becomes the first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself, or we can say that 2 genius programmer created  2 types of different robot to help the police force. One is scout which goes by the name Chappie, created by Deon Wilson ( Dev Patel ) and the other Moose which is created by Vincent Moore ( Hugh Jackman ).  THE GOOD Robot with a feeling? This show portrays it nicely and at times I felt like there are ninjas cutting the onions at some scene. I was thought lots bout morale and manners strangely not by the main character but instead but the so-called thugs which was names are not even in the poster. Dev Patel played his character really well, showing how much flexibility and how much have he grown from his previous movie but sadly, his acting was overshadowed by Hugh Jackman's desperation in the movi

MOVIE REVIEW: KINGSMAN - THE SECRET SERVICE

Like the title, the show is about a spy organization recruits an unrefined, but promising street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training program, just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius. The street kid, Eggsy ( Taron Egerton ) whose dad died in the final Kingsman examination takes on the training under recommendation by Harry Hart, or better know as Galahad ( Colin Firth )  THE GOOD Lots and lots of gadgets which will put James Bond to shame. The show here such sophisticated but gentleman technology that we all came across but never wondered if it could become something more, I mean a bulletproof suit. That's just plain gentleman cool. The fighting scene was quick, intense and plain brutal. It just felt so stylish, cool and a bit weird seeing people with full suits move so swiftly and agile. They also impress me with their gun play in the movie. I meant come on, english movie, there aren't so much action or close quarters using gun but
