Movie Reviews: Escape Plan


Ever since I have watched the trailer when I went with my brother to watch City of Bones, I told myself that I must watch this show when it's out! So here I am, giving my two-cent worth of reviews on this movie!

Movie Reviews:
This is a movie about a guy named Ray Breslin who is a structural engineer whose job is to ensure that all prisons are escape-proof and he spends his life doing this. Therefore, he will stay inside numerous prison with made up names and crimes ; study the prisons' designs and guards' habits to find and exploiting their weaknesses in enabling him to escape without a hitch. One day, he and his business partner, Lester Clark are offered a multimillion dollars to test out a top-secret prison and Breslin chose money instead. Who knows that this would be a setup, none of them except Lester who is the mastermind behind it. Only until his colleagues, Abigail Ross and Hush grew suspicious that Ray's paycheck was frozen. Is this a setup to kill Ray or is this just another prison to test for? Find out after watching it!

Guess what, I really feel that the designs for this prison is so damn cool shit and awesome! Such a concept!

Highly recommmend to watch it! Thumbs-up!

Movie Reviews: The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones

Jace Wayland, Clary Fray, Alec Lightwood, Isabelle Lightwood and Simon Lewis

Hope I am not too late to be doing this review. I am not really the type of person that watch movie that are related to runes, ancient all these kind of genre but my brother want to watch this and so I agreed. It turns out to be a really cool and interesting movie to watch! Yet, I must say City of Bones was not all action-packed throughout the show but there are humour added to it and it really made me laughs XD

Movie Reviews:
City of Bones had quite a few animated scenes in it especially those cool runes that can be written on hands and used it as a magic power. (How cool is this?) Clary Fray is the descendant of the Shadowhunter Family whose mother, Jocelyn Fray was once a shadowhunter. In order to protect Clary ever since she was young to not get in touch with the demons, part of her memories was blocked with a powerful spell by Magnus Bane. However, as Clary gets older year by year, Jocelyn was being instructed to reseal the spell once she noticed Clary started seeing or drawing the rune symbol because that would be the symptom of the weakening of spell. Nevertheless, Jocelyn never fail to go back to Magnus for the procedures.

However, one day Clary was out with her bes friend, Simon who was in love with her to a club and she was the only one that could see Jace and partner was killing a demon which she does not know what it is at all. She screamed out loud catching the attention of everyone surrounding her, including the Shadowhunters who looked back at her, shocked. She was utterly bewildered about how people could not see what was going on except her, even Simon could not see anything amiss.

Soon, Jace appeared before her and was equally confused about how she could see them as well and that's when Clary saw the rune symbol on his hand and prompted him about what does it mean.

Subsequently, a series of events starts to happen and she began to know about the Mortal Cup that her mother hid it and refused to hand it over to a person called, Valentine (bad guy basically). Therefore, in order to protect her mother and to fight back from those demons who keep pestering her on handing over the Mortal Cup, Clary joined the rest of the Shadowhunters.

Well, of course there are "love in the air" going on and humorous scenes here and there. Overall it was a really cool show, totally awe over the animated demon dog who can be so disgusting and scary and awesome!

Recommended to watch this!

Movie Reviews: Ted

Guess what he's trying to do? XD
Alright, initally I wasn't really keen on watching Ted when my friend suggested to me. Well, you could say I'm never the type of person who will watch this kind of show where the content consist of sexual jokes. hahah yes, M18 shows that I will watch probably will be horror movie.
Well, since I agreed to watch with my friend and I am kinda curious about the type of movie that Ted will be like so let's get on with the reviews yea. :)

Movie Reviews:
Ted is a nice and hilarious show (it's comedy yea) that will make you laugh most of the time at the first-half of the movie. Not much of laughing at the second-half not until when the movie is ending. Jokes are just jokes only when you don't take it seriously or feel offended when you hear it.

Alright, so basically the movie is about a little boy called John who received a teddy bear for christmas present and he wished that his bear would REALLY talk to him since he was not a popular guy when he was young. When the cute little bear with cute voice comes alive and talk to John, it was like magic. When news spread like wildfire around the world, everybody feels that this is the most beautiful and magical thing that could happen. Overnight, Ted got famous!

Years later, no one really remember how wonderful Ted was and soon it just died down. Ted starts to lead like a human lives, on drugs, flirt with girls, trying to have sexual activities with girls etc as a carefree bear.

Gradually, when John and Lori (his girlfriend) love relationship got worsen. Things changed.

Overall, Ted is a nice movie without those sexual jokes and stuffs, but I guess it wouldn't be hilarious without it yea?

Highly recommended for people who love this type of movie. :D haha

Movie Reviews: BRAVE


Hi guys, I'm sure all of you knew that BRAVE is out this august and is a DISNEY Film under the production of PIXAR. Here I am giving my own personal reviews in regards to this movie, it does not have to do with anybody or anything. Just wanting to share my own thoughts on how this movie had inspired me. :D

Movie Reviews:
BRAVE is simply awesome! The moment the movie starts, you will be awe by those complicated yet beautiful landscapes that appears right before the big screen. The whole movie talks about how Merida, the girl in the photograph (above) who is not anywhere feminine like how a princess should behave. She loves archery so much that during free day where she need not be tied down by her mother, the queen's lectures on how should and should not as a princess behaves; she will ride on her cute little horse, carrying her favourite bow and starts shooting on the target board. All nail on yea. She would climb rocks and get to the peak. I like how not feminine she is, just the way she is and how she choose her own life. As she is so stuborn when her mother told her about the betrothal and that's why she and her mother relationship got worse.

A little spoiler here. The photographs above show her shooting for her own fate. As we all know that princess or prince in a country will have a match for other islands' kings to bring their prince or princess to fight for their future partner. In this case, it's the same too. However, Merida requested the match to be an archery and it totally surprise me when she said she's gonna decide her own fate by joining as a candidate as well in defeating those princes. She's a tough one yea. xD

As I watched the movie, it comes to me that I'm a little like her in one way or another. I love freedom, I will go all out just to get my freedom just like how she quarrel with her mother for not concerning her own feelings, listening to her. In fact, all parents are the same. They care for their children's welfare and neglecting the fact that their children might not like it and believe in them that they will do well.

Yes, we should choose the person that we love and not be decided by anybody else just because they think that it will do us good. Not saying that it's not right, just that we all have the rights to Live, Love and Laugh just the way we want it.

After a series of events, Merida and her mother relationship improved and got a lot better than before. Both of them changed and Merida realised how blessful she is whenever she met with any trouble or scary moment, her mother is always, always be by her side.

I'm so glad that such a movie was being produced. I'm sure whoever watched this will feel the same as I am. Parents, they are always saying things for a reason. Do not misunderstand them, do not feel that they are not thinking of you. In fact, they ARE thinking of you ALL THE TIME. Perhaps the method is wrong, perhaps it's not obvious enough for you to realise until you are older.

I highly recommend all to watch this. It's really worth the price. ❤

Movie Reviews: Real Steel

 

I am not the kind of person that would go for this kind of movie, it always kind of worries me whenever I am exposed to action movies. I always feel that I could not appreciate and cannot understand how the story being told by the producer. Yet, this time this movie is being chose my my friends and I decided to give ita try since I seldom watch action movies. It turns out that this movie was really awesome! Love the robots, it is so high-technology and look super cool!


Movie Reviews: Real Steel is about using robots to fight, it's just like boxing but this time it's robots helping you to fight and you control them using romote control. Some of them possess power and position have advanced technology that uses computer to control the robot. It changes the way the robot attacking the opponent by sending back the fighting results to the computer. It's really super duper awesome! Through this movie, I can feel the persistence, never-give-up spirit, the guts to fight and bet everything in, the trust you have for your own robot although it is just a mechanism that helps you to win. Let that aside, I feel that we should also have that kind of human spirit in our life. Whether you have hit the rock bottom or you have succeeded in your life, this kind of spirit should always be in you every single second.
