Looper

The first movie I watched with husband. went to Suria Sabah, and it costs us MYR10 each. Here is the synopsis I extracted from http://www.imdb.com In 2072, when the mob wants to get rid of someone, the target is sent 30 years into the past, where a hired gun awaits. Someone like Joe(Joseph Gordon-Levitt), who one day learns the mob wants to 'close the loop' by transporting back Joe's future self (Bruce Willis). Prior to watching this movie, I do like the concept of time-travelling. But I was wrong, the time-travelling was merely the storyline that lead to the core story of the rainmakers- a group of people who were assigned by the mob to kill members of Loopers in future. As the old Joe was back at his past, he seemed to be a different person than the current Joe. Old Joe deeply felt in love with a Chinese woman who got killed while the rainmakers came for him. Old Joe could not accept the gruesome tragedy and decided to change the past- by killing the three ki...

Ghost-rider, the spirit of vengeance

Image
The  movie is a great superhero movie based on Marvels comics featuring Nicolas Cage as Johny Blaze. In this movie,  a young girl-Nadya made a deal to conceive the demon's child in exchange of the demon saving her life. As the conceived child Danny is turning 12, the satan has to look and capture him to perform a ritual. Danny's body serves as Satan's store to 'grow' his devil power, and on Danny's birthday, the Satan will retrieve the power. Blaze has to stop that from happening, or else the Satan will so called take over the world. In return, the ancient type of catholic priest will break his curse of becoming ghost-rider anymore. However, losing blaze's power is not necessary a good thing, he cannot save people anymore. At the climax of the story, it happened to be Danny is the one who return Blaze's power as the good-spirited ghost riders. Overall, it has an interesting story plot, with hilarious moments, and great action. P/s: Must see ...

The rise of the planets of the Apes.

I was quite reluctant to watch this movie initially by just thinking how ugly and hairy they are. I had change of thought as soon as the movie kick started. Caeser, the chimpanzee is quite adorable when he was an infant and it was so sweet its relationship with his master (or dad). besides, the issues here are about pharmaceutical trial on human testing which alter the life of animal, the rights of animal to live normally like what they are supposed to be, human attitude on wild animal, and also the denial of human being in combating incurable disease like Alzheimer's. We have to admit that we are selfish creature in the world, we do everything for the benefits of our kind, thus we would like to hurt others, indirectly. The aggressive behavior shown by the primates in prison are actually reflected us. Human have feelings, when we get hurt, our intelligent will lead us a way whether in a good way or destructive. The writer for the story must have put creative thought in ...

Transformer: Dark of the moon

Image
Watched in 3D mode, was not very impressed with the action it had in movie. Had been dragged for 2.5 hours, which was considerably long for the same action, no progression, and sometimes were illogical.  Those robots looked tough, yet, they were fragile. Noticed Decepticons were vulnerable. Optimus prime whacked and tore them apart-just like that-. The actress was never get dirty nor messy albeit in the middle of the battle. Surprisingly, both of the hero and heroin did not stand any chance get shot or hit?That is so impossible in life. Storyline: something unexpected. I still believe that transformers in-animated according to human's being nature- our greediness which lead to disastrous. Rating: 3/5  P/s: I like Autobots agility.

Retirees Extremely dangerous

Movie rating 4/5 Everything is so great, hilarious, amazing....all the compliment words go to this movie. But the most exciting and excite me is this couple. Frank Moses a CIA retiree who is very capable in protecting people, with his very intelligent mind. He is old, and in love with a telephone operator. Love just comes like that. Age is not a problem at all. I mean, to have someone who love us so much, is skillful, able to protect us, good kisser...what else a girl needs?

The tourist

A few of friends gave negative review on 'The tourist". Do not understand why... ***************************************************************** My review: To me, it is a romantic and comedy movie. ********************************************************************** Elisse (Angelina Jolie) herself is the icon of Sexy woman in the world. How one can deny that the movie is dull, and she appeared to be just ordinary. Come on...look at her sexy lips and figure; walking gracefully, posing like an elegant. In addition to that, her satin dress, lingerie, and shoes. It enhances her beauty. Even I am a woman, I still say that she will turn guys on ******************************************************************** As for the love story, despite of not meeting her husband for two years, her true love is able to so called 'detect' the guy that she should love even everything about her husband has changed- the face, the orthodontic, accent and etc. ...
