Nice British movie. 2D would have been enough. If you don't know yet, is from a christian author, so some scenes do relate to christian values. Quite similar to the trailer, three teenagers who are family members stare at a picture and saw themselves in it. Its a picture of a ship in a stormy sea. From there, the fantasy starts, the water from the sea in the picture pours out and fill the entire room. One of the teenager is an unbeliever in the christian terms and only after going through the entire fantasy, he learns how real the adventure can be and how much it had helped him to grow stronger in character. Different scenes in the movie, signifies temptation from the devil, such as food when their hungry and money like gold for wealth to distract them from their cause of journey. Creative plot. After watching it, you'll feel that you've gone through lots of drama, just like the characters in the movie. 4/5.
Don't expect much fighting except for the final part of the movie. Its actually a comedy. Basically aims to cover the history and founder of wing chun kung fu. Surprising, but its true that Wing Chun kung fu is named after a lady named Wing Chun, who learned her kung fu from a nun. I guess the rest of the history can read up or seen from this movie. Some jokes are quite funny. The rest are just lame. The fighting part looks quite good. At least better than Bruce Lee, my brother movie. This has to wait till the end. Worth watching but missing it won't be too bad either. I hope there would be another movie on Wing Chun that shows more on how the training was actually done to build up the skills of the learner. Maybe a more serious work and better skilled actors.
This is a great movie. If you like thai comedies, this is definitely good. Even those who are not opened to Thai movies or never though Thai movies could be that interesting, you should watch this. Definitely perspective changing. Thai comedies are really creative and expressive. Lots of effort were put, into the actors, or maybe they're naturally talented. Its about a guy who were 'sabo' by his friends in leaving him empty handed for his trip to korea. He met a girl to travel around with over there and some how emotions were entangled and they kind of liked each other. But throughout the course of the travel, she found out that he just broke up with his girlfriend of 8 years. He sent a postcard back to his ex-gf from Korea and she came over to find him. In the end, He chose his ex-gf instead of his new squeeze. At the end, you're not sure whether to feel happy or sad, because most of the film were shot how happy the two strangers were with each other as they get to know each other and do different travel activities together. Its comical due to his talents but yet it's very touching with lots of emotions involved in various parts. A must watch. 4.3/5.
Skip this movie. Its really boring. I slept for a couple of minutes. Almost 1/2 of the movie is about sammy trying to find shelly in the water. And some other turtle friends or sea creatures like the octopus and dolphins come along side to help them find. They are both teenage turtles wanting to be bold to venture out to search for the secret passage in the ocean. They got lost and then separated for many years till one day they found each other back. Though the creatures are cute and the 3D graphic images are good but more like a children's kind of cute instead of adult's kind of cute. The 3D view is really good. You get to see the water, the sea plants flowing right into your eyes. Almost like Resident Evil's 3D view. Not kidding.
The plot of the movie is set to also educate kids about how sea pollution through different human activities like oil polution and waste can bring great difficulty to the sea creatures who are trying to survive in it. The film begins with hatching turtles from their shells, crawling on the sand, making light depressions with their moving fins as they paddle themselves from the sand and into the water. That's quite cute. 2.5/5
Only watched in 2D. I think the 3D is good. Tell me about it. A must watch for kids. In this movie, though megamind stars as the bad guy, he in the end turned out to be the savior of the world. Because, Metro man, voiced by Brad Pitt, decided to retire by throwing his skeleton, acting dead in "megamind's trying to kill metroman's plot". Megamind felt lonely and decided to create a figure to fight with him. His creation somehow turned against him and He in the end saved the world from further destruction. Things get complicated when Tina Fey, didn't know Megamind could transform into many images and Tina actually dated and kissed Megamind, unknowingly. So, the plot is good and Will Ferrel, staring as Megamind, did a great job in his voicing. Very creative. I would agree a 4/5 star from the public. Unexpected twist between good and evil.
The starring actors should be changed to Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks. Liam Neeson only made a short conversation in the movie and that's all for his role in the movie. I wish he did more. Its about the police who mistakes Elizabeth as the killer of her boss and she is arrested to be in jail for a lifetime. Russell when to seek consultation from Liam Neeson, who was an ex-jail escapist. He then learn the different matters and brave through the different situations to get a passport for his wife, driving license and an IC for her to escape straight out of the country. Throughout the movie, there were many intense and suspense situations. Though some false suspense, but it does draw the audience attention to what might happen next. Throughout the movie, Russell was planning by observation of daily routine of the happenings in the prison, a route for his wife to escape. It was a great escape in the end and it certainly does give you some idea how to do a better Mas Selamat.
4.2/5. I like this one. Lots of emotions shown. Mixture of feelings of love, suspense, pressure, comfort that might last only awhile and touching. A must watch.
It's a good movie in a different way. Its really, really sarcastic all the way from the start to the end. *(Its about emma stone who started to fake a situation to her best friend and her friend totally believe its true and the friend insist that she tells her everything. Of course it must be something good for gossip, like meeting a new found guy and what they did together. So her best friend dragged her into the toilet where someone heard it and spread the rumor around. This is just the first case. And next come one of emma's gay friend, who wanted emma's help to prove to everyone that he's not exactly gay, but bi. So they faked being a couple at a house party and got into a room. Created loud sexual noises to fake everyone that they are actually doing it. But in fact no.) Watch to find out how this is actually quite an intellectual movie. This is the kind of movie whereby you at the beginning, you get the feeling its maybe a 1.5 or 2/5 but as the plot runs, wow, your rating of the movie gets higher. But for those who get really bored seeing non-action movie, I suggest you skip this, because it can be boring if you're just looking for the comedy part. Its like those kind of comedy that makes you smile alittle and not laugh. But its about the plot that's based on a "what if" scenario and things gets worst and complicated and at the end, a "maybe I shouldn't have done it" falls back on the actress. 3/5. She's good looking. If you're wondering why is the title Easy A? A stands for Adulterous. Easy, its like slut. You know? She's easy.
You have to concentrate when you watch this movie. Right from the start, you'll be thrown into a setting with Mark chats with his girlfriend, Erica, and shows how he is such an asshole in the way he speaks. He speaks so fast right from the start till the end of the movie. He is detailed with his description of what he wants and corrects people. He is ultimately a genius. Lots of dialogue wavering between him and Eduardo, his friends, enemies, lawyers and judge. This movie takes place in a court setting where it shows how his best friend, Eduardo, the fell out with Mark and Sean, the founder of Napster gets involve with Facebook. It was really a pity for Eduardo to be left out of the company. He quit his intern on the first day to move over with Mark and the company, but however that was already too late. Sean had impressed Mark and took over Eduardo's job. Eduardo had to freeze the money account he invested in the company and that's when Mark, saw that he can have life with Sean instead of Eduardo. Its a really inspiring movie, especially for all IT professionals and entrepreneurs. And this is the first film that I've seen that comes from on the IT industry. I hope there would be more. Of course since its a movie, lots of stuff are exaggerated and not exactly true. At the end of the movie, you wouldn't have thought it was the end, I expected more, like how did Mark handle it after the police case Sean had with drugs. It ends of with Mark repeatedly refreshing his facebook after adding Erica, his ex-girlfriend as friend. I'll go with everyone, giving it 4/5. It seems like a 2.5 hours movie squeezed into slightly below 2 hours. No one should miss this movie.
British film. This film can be compared to films like The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and Mr. Magoriums Wonder Emporium. 3.5/5. I like the plot. *(Its basically about Adele who believes that one of the dead mummy has an incredible knowledge and she needs that knowledge to heal her "dead" friend. Her friend became unconscious after she fell to the floor and hit her head against a pin that pierce through it. So she wanted to bring the mummy back to life with the help of a professor who's soul now lives in a dragon.) Watch it to find out more. Really creative. Suitable for kids. Quite entertaining.
The movie starts off with a girl committing suicide by jumping off the building. You'll realize why only at the end.
This story is about a Korean family who hired a new young housemaid and found themselves into some trouble having her around. The wife is pregnant with twins but the husband cheated on her by having sex with this new housemaid. The housemaid didn't resist because she wanted a baby in her. So he even seduced him too. It was the other housemaid, who is an old lady that reported to the wife's mum. And that's how the wife found out in the end too. One day when the new housemaid was cleaning the lamp on a ladder, the wife's mother "accidentally" or rather purposely pushed the ladder to allow the new housemaid to have a fall. It was about two stories high fall. She ended up in hospital, hurting her neck and that's how the wife found out she was pregnant from the reports. The wife was worried and decided to kill the baby in the housemaid by poisoning the young housemaid's drink. Successfully the young housemaid had a miscarriage and had to do abortion. Things get complicated because this young housemaid doesn't know that the owners know she is pregnant. When she found out from the older housemaid, she was angry and revengeful. She wanted the baby so much. In the end, she was asked to move out of the home. But she successfully sneaked back in with the help of the older housemaid. She committed suicide in front of the family by hanging herself on the lamp and burning herself up. That was crazy. Overall 3.5/5. Not really a lot of sex scenes but boobs were shown.
Although I expected it to be a slow moving movie, but it was done in a way where any lesser actions involved it would have been a slow scene. Quite artistic.
Its a straight 4 in my opinion. But just to be fair to the public, I would rate 3.5. The acting and plot is really good. Though less drama required here compared to When in Rome, Kristen Bell was willing to take on a humiliating role of putting on a geeky, loserish look to be humiliated in a high school setting, not only that, got a pot of starchy soup poured on her. Well, not really a problem, since she's paid. But in terms of acting expressions, she did really well. Being able to portray sarcasm, jealousy, suspicious, revengeful and forgiving almost one minute after another is impressive. *(The movie begins with Kristen filming herself when she was in high school. You'll know later how the video was used in a disastrous way. It begins with a high school setting, showing how everyone carried her out of the school door and locked her outside, to show her that she's not welcome. Other scenes like she approaching an obvious empty seat in a canteen and everyone's just telling her the seat is taken and bumping into her crush and toppling the entire dish on his shirt. Yeah, it makes her look really bad. But all changed as she grew up. She is now the PR of a firm. One day, coming home from work, she realized her brother is marrying her high school bully, the one who lead the others to showed her she is unwelcome and the one who boxed her when she was wearing a mascot and got her to bumped into the basketball player on the court which was her brother and causing him not to score the important decisive goal. I think Americans can really make anyone a real loser if they want to. However, this time when she faced up with her high school bully, she was not intimidated but stood her ground took revenge in her own way. Kristen found out her bully was in relationship with a guy before and brought him to her bridal shower and he declared his undying love for her in front of everyone. Making it worst, the husband did not know about this before. Kristen exposed the video of her being a bully in school in front of everyone. The two of them got into a cat fight. To make things worst Kristen's mum and her bully's mum were arch enemies too. Watch to see how they patch back in a real comforting and sweet way.) This movie touches on friendship and life might get back on you if you were a bully before even though how much you've changed. Not everyone might forgive you so easily. But everything would go well if you confess and make up. Real heartwarming.
What a tearjerker. Not exactly a teenage show, though most who watched are teenagers and actors are young. This Japanese film speaks about the sadness in losing someone you love after knowing or being in a relationship with your friend for more than 20 years. *(The item had dated since they were kids. The guy had a weak heart and physical activities are a no for him. Even sex or even just looking at a bra on his girlfriend would be kinda strenuous for his heart too. So the guy felt really lousy and wanted to breakup by going to a really good college, thinking that the girlfriend wouldn't get in there. Surprisingly, she got in there too and she made an angry speak at him declaring her love for her and he tried to dump her by getting into that school, thinking she wouldn't. He tried to hang out with a long time female friend, whom also suffered heart problem and was about the past away. One day at the hospital, she asked if he could kissed her so that she can experience what a kiss is like before she died. He did it. He felt guilty. Because he knew his girlfriend still liked him. But true enough his friend died soon after the kiss. Every girl watching would thought he shouldn't have kissed her, but what do you think? That was her first and final kiss before she died. A guy tried to chase his girlfriend, but his girlfriend refused to give in to him. One day, her boyfriend challenged this guy into a 100 metres sprint, knowing that he couldn't do it and he would beat him. Surprisingly he won the race even with this heart condition and he had a deal not to touch his girlfriend anymore. That guy, somehow got into an accident by a train and was in hospital. The boyfriend's doctor was his girlfriend's dad, a regular actor in japanese films. The doctor told him that he might get a transplant for him heart soon. However, he found out the heart he was receiving is actually from that guy, whom he had a race with. Because that guy was in a coma and may die. So he and his girlfriend was devastated when they found that out. He couldn't get the transplant in the end because that guy had signs that he might get up from the coma. His girlfriend when to plead in tears to the parents to give his heart to her boyfriend. That was really moving. Many pour buckets of tears here. Her boyfriend was on life support and might die anytime too. One day, he woke up and he decided, since this might be his last chance, he would go out and have fun with his girlfriend for the entire day. He went to the fun fair and sat roller coaster and do things which he knew he's heart can't take it but still do it since it was his last opportunity. When he went back to hospital, his heart condition came back and he died in the end. She cried, they all cried including the audience. In the end, she dressed in a wedding gown, and carried his earns to the church and married him that way in her heart. I love that touching scene. Its a movie worth watching over and over again. Comparable to Aftershock in tear jerking. 4/5. Really sweet movie.
John Malkovich is hilarious in this film. The funniest part came when he was fired with a bullet and he simply whacks the bullet off like playing baseball. He carries a huge soft toy pig which contains a machine gun. And he seems to have a 6th sense of suspicion which often seems to be right. He was right about the woman who followed him and the letters of the approaching helicopter. Morgan Freeman doesn't do much in this film, except for some scenes. He was shot dead as a sacrifice for the rest to run off. So his role ended there in the movie. This movie is basically about Bruce Willis, a retired and former CIA, getting hunted down by the CIA for trying to prove a certain corruption in the government. He was joined by the rest of the group who were also retired CIA in helping him with his mission. There were a few slow motion scenes to exaggerate and create humor, especially when being cornered to a firing battle.
3.3/5. Kinda funny. Retired. Experience and very Dangerous (RED)
