Tons of movie reviews

Ok, time for some movie reviews. This post will review a lot of movies, 8 movies if I'm not wrong, especially I hold 7 of them quite a while already. First one we will start with "What happened in vegas"



This movie start with a guy, Jack, lost his job and a woman, joy, lost her love. In order to de-stress themselves, they went to las vegas with their best friend respectively. At vegas, Jack and Joy met by coincident and find themselves to be able to chat with each other. They got themselves drunk and get into married by accident and of course, bed. The next day, they tried to explain things that everything is wrong, who knows that they won a jackpot and they are now fighting over the prize money. They fought on court and the judge asked them to live as a husband and wife for 6 months, if things don't work out, the divorce will be effective.

During the 6 months, they did a lot of funny things, to avoid the spoiler, I will not tell what happened at the end. Overall, this is a pretty funny movie, the comedy part are good, the romantic part aren't bad. One thing I want to complain is the selection of main actor and actress. Cameron diaz was way too old to be in that character already, ashton kutcher face looks too young. Cameron's and others' acting skills are ok, just the selection of character is not good. Overall, this is a pretty good movie, worth watching.

Alright, 2nd movie review, this movie series is being said as one of the best movie ever made and never once had so much hype other then one movie in 2006. What movie is it? Indiana jones and the kingdom of crystal skull.



This movie was set about 20 years later after the event of "the last crusade". Indy was being brought to a weapon testing site at nevada by some russian to find something to allow russian to build a new weapon. Indy helped them to find it, but in the end, indy managed to escape. The FBI then investigate Indy to see whether is he involve in treason. Indy decide to leave US and go to london for a new life, until a young man appears to ask him to find oxley, indy's good friend. It seems that oxley was involved in searching some artifact and then disappear. Indy had to travel deep in maxico and even amazon, while dealing with the russian army who are searching for the artifact.

Ok, no more for the plot spoiler. This movie is indeed one of the best movie I've watched recently, but I still got something to rant about and it is some of the worst thing to see on screen. CGI, why the fuck is there so many CGI in this movie, if it has to be CGI, just make it to cover some of the dangerous such as the falling from the waterfall and the UFO, that's enough. There is no need to have so many CGI, why? It is depressing to see so many fucking CGI, especially it is action movie. Assholes...

The other thing I want to complain is how goofy this movie can be. I haven't watch the temple of doom, but I already heard that it is goofy. This movie was also quite goofy, I don't understand why lucas can only come out with alien, why not something special? Like human from the future/past, gods or any other things. Of all things, martians... Come on, martians are already old, stop the martian thing.

Ok, 3rd review...but this is going to be a long one because I'm going to review 6 movies. It is a movie series of course. This movie is also one of the best movie series ever created, it was a sleeper hit. It also affect almost everyone in one of the state in US. What movie? One of the oldest movie I ever watched, Rocky.



This first installment of the series started with a debt collector, but with a good heart. His passion is boxing, but all he wanted is small fights. Until one day, the world heavyweight champion, apollo creed came to Philadelphia to pick an opponent for an exhibition bout. He picked rocky because of his nickname, Itallian stallion. Rocky at first declined, but he decide to go for the distant and start to train with his manager, mickey. At the day of the bout, rocky won the fight by split decision...



This movie was at first not to meant a big hit, but it the movie attract people with big heart and dream, in short, it is very moralising. This movie shows how a person goes the distant, fighting the impossible and how a person who don't know how to confess(me is one example), confessed. Not the mention the fight is perfect, for the first time, I had shouted: "right hook!!! dodge!!! straight!!! AW, Goddamned it, don't you know how to dodge?" Yes, it is that good. It had no flaws, really, no flaws.

Ok, it is late, the rest I will make it up tomorrow. Nites.
