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.

weird dreams

seriously, I also have a certain kind of weird dream. It's not like always the same kind of dream, but it appears too often. The most often dream I ever had is fighting. Like last night, I dreamt about a father, dauther and son came from foreign country, I think they are russian or something, can't remember, they want to find opponent to fight. It's a 3 round fight, one round one opponent and that fighter cannot rest, so it's not fair for our fighter. Most of the fighters lost, seems like a pretty tough opponent, so left only a few colour belts. They then picked me, guess they just want to humiliate me, since I look plum and clumbsy. Well, guess what, I own their ass. I beat them like no prob and the leave with the title left behind for me. I forgot what's the title, but it's an honourable one.

That was not the only fighting dream, I got dream about scenario like in the Jackie chan movie, fought a lot of enemy then a boss, finally got the girl out and then the base or HQ exploded just like in "Police story 2". Also got dream before like in "Mr vampire", I will be fighting off paranormal beings with a trusty weapon, most of them time is a sword, sometime might be spear or just my bear fist and magic to finish off the monster. It was like, I like fighting, but no fighting when I'm sleeping, I want to sleep. Although once in a while is ok, but not so many time. I guess it symbolised something, I really got to ask around, see who can interpret my dream.

Talking about fighting, my sequel of dawn of twin vengence will soon start shooting, I got the script-writer, actor and my bro for choreography practcing. Hope can get a good one on screen. Same like last time, I will be the one directing, editing and choreogaphing. A lot of job, huh?

Injured

Ok, postponed of my upcoming reviews, need some hiatus. I got lots of movies to review, but let's just take a break on it.

Friday went out with mabel, wayne, ben, sky and linus. Watched what happens in vegas, which was a last minute decision, at first want to watch iron man. Btw, the next review will be what happens in vegas, although it intended to be another movie. After the movie, ben left first and then we just scroll around causeway point, looking for future camera to buy. Mabel got a keychain for herself, I guess. I can't see what is it, so I guess it would be a hello kitty. Then we walk again and then end up sitting outside the MRT station and chat a lot. Just before we depart to our slumbers, I realised we forgot to eat dinner. What's worse is all of them got things to eat at home, which I don't have. So I got instant noodles and a packet of milk. All of them are great, they just accompany me while I'm eating, so touched. Finally we bidded farewell and went home.

2 weeks ago, I had a sparring with this senior who was trained in taekwondo for many years. I can tell you, his kicks are some powerful, it's like a 10kg big rock shoot out from a cannon and hit your body. It's that hard, I'm not making this up. I thought the previous one was fast enough, but this one even faster. I basically land no kicks on him and he kicked me like...easy. I basically did a lot of blocking and hitting if I saw the chance, but guess what I got from the multiple blocks? Injuries. My left arm were swollen for a couple of days and my right wrist hurt real bad that I went to the chinese doctor a week after the sparring, which is today. The doctor said that it is internal injury. WTF, internal injury? No wonder so pain and never subsides even when I apply lotion. What made things worse is that yesterday I help out at my father's stall, sometime need to chop then my hand hurts. My chopping on that day sucks, I can't chop more than 2 servings. My mother did the job if I can't and my father handles the peak hour. Even during peak hour, I'm not doing the chopping, I still have to stress my right hand to do work. The entire day I just bitting my own teeth to bear with the pain. At the end of the day, my wrist can't work to properly, a simple twist can sets me into pain, which means taking out wallet from my back pocket will be hell. I can't even handle my mouse normally, it'll hurts. Now my hand was bandaged and cannot remove for a couple of days, if still pain, have to go back to the doctor.

new class

Ok, it seems that there is too many movie reviews, so let's have a break and talk about something else. What should we talk about? Oh yeah, my new class W65N. Now I am year 2 in RP, currently doing my interactive and digital media. Seriously, I never once like programming this much and I always look forward to the next one. Class had never been boring, there is so many common thing in this class. Close to everyone is retro, anime lover and they like to draw. I'm not detesting anime neither I like it, so I'm neutral, I don't draw well too. Another thing that really got me interested is that there is so many martial artist in this class. Wushu, judo, capoiera and taekwondo. Wow, almost everyday got a small tournament. I bet the facilitators don't want to be too cocky, unless he/she thinks he/she lived too long. We watch old movies and listen songs, and I mean old, can be as far back to the 70s. I like this class, everyday so fun. Next time I'll tell you how crazy we can get to, but the next post will be a movie reiew again, so stay tune.

movie reviews

Yup, like the title, this is a movie review post that I held it for quite a long time. Let me take you back to the 80s, the time where all the classic movies were made and were never surpassed until now. I'm going to review one of them, it is one of the greatest comedy, but to me, it is the greatest comedy movie I ever watch. Not one movie of this time can surpass it. Not only that, it was ranked first on ign.com as the best comedy movie of all time. So after saying this much, I'm going to reveal the name of the movie, it is "Ghostbusters".

Normally people will start to say, "isn't ghostbusters a cartoon that got made into a movie?" Wrong, ghostbusters got a cartoon series because it is so success, it was made into a cartoon that ran for 7 seasons and a lot of action figures. Let's get started on the review, ok?



Ghostbusters, the theme song was a big hit at that time too and still I love the theme song. Basically, the plot start with 3 university professor, researching on paranormal stuff and finally got their first encounter in the library. They were egon, the scientific guy, ray, always energetic and peter, the guy with the heart of calm. When they met the ghost, they can't do anything but run since the ghost is angry. Well, after that, they were chased out of the university because of the lack of operating funds for their department. With their reseach and the first experience, they go into bussiness themselves of the ghostbusting career. At first they didn't get much customers, until a women named dana approach them for some paranormal help. That gives them a little more fund to prolong the bankcrupcy. Finally they got their first ghostbusting work and there they go, drive the ecto-1 and head to the hotel. Although they have the equipment, the ghost trap and the proton packs, they never actually test it before. Whoa, luckily I'm not the first customers. They went through the humourous way and finally got the ghost. That is when their career got picked up and they became celebrity.

Cut all the way to the end, it's too long to write out all the plot. They reseach a lot and then found out that the multiple appearance of ghost is because of the arrival of a destruction god. They got the god eliminated and save NYC.

I can't find anything that is bad about this movie, the movie is 130 minutes long and I laugh 125 minutes, the 5min is credit. The special effects are cool, in fact, the CG inside sometime don't look like from the 80s, more like from the current time. The jokes inside never repeat, everytime there is a joke, it is totally new. So I laugh my way throughout the movie.

There is a sequel to it, ghostbusters II. To cut short, this is a good movie too, but not as good as the first one. If you all can get to see this 2 movies, I recommend you to do so, it is really nice.

One thing I want to complain about, nothing related to the film. Will there be a ghostbusters III? Well, if there are home alone 3, psycho 3, spiderman 3, free willy 3, a bunch of sequels to scary movie, america pie that rape the ass of hollywood, I don't see the reason of not having ghostbusters 3.
