Review: Kick Ass

"KICK ASS" KICKS ASS!!!

There it is, that's my review for this movie...Lolzz....just kidding. But that few words does tells you how great this movie is. It is like an all-rounder movie where I could not really see where the flaw is. Why couldn't all the superhero be like this...No offense to Spider-Man, Batman...(excluding Iron Man because he is quite funny as well)...

Kick Ass is an action-comedy which is funny, witty, twisting and not forgetting ultraviolent. This story is about a normal human being asking questions of why is no superhero in real life? Adding in some interesting subplot and twist making this movie having a very good and interesting plot. So, plot is a TICK!

Aaron Johnson gave a standing ovation performance who portrays Kick Ass himself. He gave the life to the character where ultimately succeed in every way and he is totally different from Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging...that's for sure...haha...Chloe Moretz (last seen in 500 Days of Summer) acts as Hit-Girl who almost steal the entire show from Kick Ass. She did a perfect job as a cruel assassins helping her dad to plot their revenge. Not gonna give out much here..haha...(She trained martial arts for 6 months to portray as Hit-Girl...Kudos for her)..Nicholas Cage portrays Big Daddy who I believe is half mad for training his own daughter to be a killer machine..haha..But he gave his performance of his life (of course....on par with Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans) which I believe he is back from making bad movies. and McLovin' is back as Red Mist...not gonna tell you about him..haha..and Mark Strong once again portrays a villain and a drug lord. I am not sure if there is any person who can play such gruesome villain as him. He portrayed villains in the recent Sherlock Holmes, Rock and Rolla, and even Body of Lies...Gosh...He will play villains for the rest of his career....

Overall...solid performance from the actors as well... TICK!

Director Matthew Vaughn once again deliver nice soundtrack for his movie after Layer Cake. The songs and score fits perfectly in this movie giving extra punch and emotion for the movie. Well Done. The action scenes are unbelieveably good as they are stylish, violent and exceptionally bold, beautiful and breathtaking. I am just wondering how good it is going to be if it is projected digitally. It's gonna be a big WOW!!...The cinematography is unbelieveable as well as there are a few scenes that eventually will really make you say WOW again...

The movie of course is not meant to be watch by "Kiddo" as they are very violent, sexual references mild graphic sex scene and scenes of masturbation....(blek.....don't worry..no scenes of ejaculation...haha)...But I am glad to see this movie as I say...this is an all-rounder...Before you enter the cinema hall, keep that in mind that this is a superhero movie which brings you less logic as you could think of...just like spider-man or batman...Don't expect it to be completely logic...if you want to be logic, BE YOUR OWN SUPERHERO!

I could keep writing on this review but I believe that I have to stop now or i will be ruin the movie watching experience..haha...Overall, this movie worth every penny of yours....It will make you laugh, serious and may even cry. It is an high octane action movie comes with solid performances and interesting plot. It comes to highly recommended from me and I would watch it again if there is any of them volunteer to watch with me..haha..

Rating: 10/10!!! (sorry, I really can't find any flaws in this movie because it is just plain perfect!)

Review: She's Out of My League

Hello, have not been blogging for more than a week and now I am back again. This time I am going to review a romantic comedy called she's out of my league starring Jay Baruchel and the ever gorgeous Alice Eve.

The story is simple. It's about a guy who had "defects" going out with a perfect girl where of course, it's kinda impossible in real life. So, this story is mainly about this two actors showing how they got hook up. In between, there would be some influence and obstacles....so...it's kinda predictable. The acting is good as Jay Baruchel acted as if he is really innocent. He was last seen in Tropic Thunder and he really deserve this role. Alice Eve...what can i say....she is gorgeous, sexy, elegant...and her body...phew...needless to say...she threw away her british accent and talk like a real american...isn't she a genius...??nah..maybe not...she is major in middle english..so...it might not be hard for her then..

The plot seems too predictable here and I believe you could guess the ending....yea...and this is an adult comedy..so expect it to be vulgar. The jokes are funny (at times I laugh out loud)...but some of them are quite lame...so...it's a hit and miss....(for example, the underwear jokes...lame...)

Overall, it is still a solid production deserve to be seen and have to congratule Jay and Alice for making such a cute couple in this movie!!! This movie is not meant for children as it has strong sexual references, language as well as nudity.

Rating: Suppose to be 6, but Alice Eve made it throught so it is a HARD 7/10!!

Movie Review Summary (January - March)

Time flies and it is almost the end of March ALREADY! yea and I have nothing much to write about my life as my life has been plain and simple (which I like...hate dramas)...haha..so I decided to share my movie experience with you guys.I will divide it into two categories which are movies watched in cinemas and some movies from other sources (ahem!)...and not forgotten the most valuable ratings and review summary (AHEM again..)for each of the movies. I really hope that you guys would bare with me because I have always wanted to be a movie critic and this is the best chance to see if you have the same movie taste with me or not...(which more than 90% of you disagree with me). Here goes the list:

Movies watched in Cinema:

1.) Valentine's Day 3/10 (Awfully produced, awful script, but solid performance though)

2.) Wolfman, The 4/10 (Strong performance dilluted with weak plots and unnecessary gore, Nice CGI though)

3.) Alice In the Wonderland 3D 6.5/10 (Strong performance and great special effects but not focus on plot)


Movies watched in other sources:

1) Surrogates 2/10 (Awfully done, awful performance from Bruce Willis, great CGI though)

2) A Perfect Getaway 7/10 ( unusual thriller packed with twisting plot, gripping and unforgettable ending)

3) Where the Wild Things Are 7/10 ( great work from Spike Jones with great CGI but came in an unusual pace)

4) Whip It! 8/10 ( great directorial debut for Drew Barrymore...Roller dearby has never look this good and anchored by the powerful and mesmerizing performance by the lovely and cute Ellen Page)

5) Invention of Lying, The 6/10 (Creative and funny but not the best from Ricky Gervais. Might be funny at first but feels annoying an couldn't wait for the end of it)

6) Food.Inc 10/10!!!! (A must watch documentary where you need to know where your food came from and how you should eat!)

7) It's Complicated 6/10 ( Strong performance by the 3 actors overshadowed by the miserable plot)

8) Saw VI 6.5/10 ( For me it's second best after SAW 1. Finally it comes with a story and not just torturing people without logical reason)

9) Law Abiding Citizen 6/10 (Strong performance from Gerald Butler but the movie tried to be clever and failed due to the familiar and illogical plot)

10) Couples Retreat 1/10 ( Way too awful to review...have no idea where to start...Awfully done from start to bottom...)

11) Michael Jackson's This Is It 7.5/10 ( A best way to pay tribute to MJ and a nice documentary concert as well!)

12) Jennifer's Body 6/10 ( Awful performance from Megan Fox....but at least the plot is fresh)

13) Fantastic Mr. Fox, The 9/10 ( Paul WS Anderson's vision on this movie has been wonderful...Strong performance..or should say voice and action by all the actors and not forgettingto mention that it is a very very cute movie!)

14) From Paris with Love 4/10 (A sublime and predictable plot powered by the strong performance of John travolta)

15) Poker King 1/10 (What an awful HK movie with bad acting...bad script, used too much slapstick....but made it a bit watchable by putting a few gorgeous girl...the title itself is awful....)

16) Black Dynamite 8/10 (Yea, it's a true blaxsploitation movie powered by the performance of Michael Jay White, it's funny, clever though the plot is familiar..but it is still kick ass!)

There you go, all the movies i had watched are reviewed here. Now, let me list out the most anticipated movie where the 1st would be the most anticipated:

1) Kick-Ass (YEA!!!....It's gonna be kick ass!!)

2) Iron Man 2 ( RDJ IS BACK WITH MORE BADASS BADDIES!!)

3) Tron Legacy 3D

4) Clash of the Titans 3D

Review: Alice in the Wonderland 3D

Hello, just came back from the screening of Alice in the Wonderland 3D....I couldn't believe the crowd as I have to queue on a ridiculous long line (went there 40 mins early) to get into the hall (no seat allocation)....phew...anyway....it's a movie by (yet again) Tim Burton with the collaboration of (yet again) Johnny Depp and Burton's wife Helena Bonham Carter (Burton just can't stop casting his own wife on any of his movies)...

Johnny Depp yet again messing up himself and dressed weirdly as the mad hatter, Mia Wasikowska (Aussie actress!!) as Alice...and Helena as the Red headed queen...

It is kinda simple and light tale saying about what happened to Alice in the wonderland and what is she going to do in it...(not giving out much..huh). The plot itself is very very simple which you just need to figure out yourself...The CGI effect in this movie could consider as GROUNDBREAKING...everything's seem so real in it and you can sit back..relax and enjoy the wonderland created by Burton....(he is a genius...no one suits better than him to direct this movie)...For the acting part....Johnny Depp gave his best as the mad hatter...Mia Wasikowska's Alice is no doubt very good....(she seem so natural)......as well as other cast.they did great......Very very solid acting......3D gimmick in this movie is alrite which you know you would expect it happen in any 3D movie...yea....watching this movie in 3D would definitely give you a great experience......

The bad part of the movie would fall on script writting....the movie has a thin plot where I suppose that Burton is suppose to improve on that..As it is too simple that anyone knows what is it about and going to be right after 5 mins the movie starts....way too predictable...Danny Elfman music is not that bad either...keep going..danny!!

Overall, it is an enjoyable film to be watched and shouldn't be missed on this overhyped film.

Rating: 7/10 (marks deduction on plot)

Review: The Wolfman

I went to the screening of THE WOLFMAN yesterday with high expectations...because it seems to be a solid production with award winning cast.....I have been a big fans of Benicio Del Toro and his last film which he portays as Che Guevara has been awesome. Back to this film...this film is definitely a no-no....Here's a very good reason.....I never expect that this movie would use cheap shock...It is a 150 million production....they should have think of something fresh and it really lack of genuine shock..The movie is way too gory as well...which for me..would be a little bit unnecessary as they could be focus more on the plot (which has no suspense at all). I have no comment on the CGI effect as they are actually quite good and seem real. The best part of the movie would be the acting powered by Anthony Hopkins, Benicio Del Toro, Emily Blunt and Hugo Weaving...Yea...they are all solid actors......
So, to make this movie a better film, they have to strip off some gore...the cheap shocks....and more momentum on the plot...(It just run merely a little bit more than 90 mins)......
For me...the most dissapointing part of the movie would be the cheap shock...really....it do shocked you...but they are all unnecessary....really couldn't believe that they put cheap shock in an expensive production... The best part would be the wolfman chasing scene as the CGI are done really great....The transformation of human to a wolf seems real as well....and of coz the solid acting by Benicio and the gang...
But overall...it is a dissapointing movie..

Rating: 5.5/10 (major points for acting and CGI)

I'm Back

Hello guys, it's been a while that I have stopped blogging...And suddenly...I feels like blogging again...It's always an on-off thing for me....Anyway...I have been in Malaysia for the past 3 months and back to Tassie two weeks ago....Nothing much has been going on in Malaysia...Working for the 9 weeks, went for a trip to Singapore, and Penang, then celebrate Chinese New Year with family...that's it about my Malaysia trip...I spent most of the time at home besides of working...so..life in Malaysia has been boring...The only thing that I do like to do in Malaysia would be hitting the gym...yea...I'm FIT...not FAT...everyone has been saying that I gained a lot of weight and fat and blah blah blah...I'm not saying that I'm 100% fit with strong biceps and triceps with an obvious 6 pack...i might say I am 60 to 70% to that...(which is good and satify for my..myself)...Not fancy about body building....it's all about being healthy...I don't look handsome....or should say ugly..So...a nice body would fit on any clothes (and that is important for me...haha) I have not been watching many movies in Malaysia..or perhaps should say just 4 which are New Moon (which sucks badly), Avatar 3D ( which is groundbreaking ), Sherlock Holmes ( which is suprisingly nice ) and Tiger Woohoo ( Yea...local movie which is ridiculous but funny).
The biggest thing that happened in my house would be the new 46 inch Sony Bravia LCD TV equipped with a new Blu Ray Home Theatre System....YES!!! It did happened thanks to my dad who has been visiting the electrical shops almost everyday after work ( which I kept telling my mum that they should buy it ASAP or I would have to follow him to the shops ) I only thought of just getting the LCD but not the home theatre system. Getting the home theatre system is kinda last minute decision from my dad which I was shocked that he made that decision ( He has been objecting of even buying one blu ray player ) I thought he was kidding when he was buying that system...lolzz...what a suprise!!! It turned up that my dad bought it and he subscribe to ASTRO which provides several High Definition channels. I was very happy with it and I will always remember that the first football match that I watch in HD would be arsenal vs liverpool!!! yea.....watching football in glourious HD is indeed a gvery good experience for me...too bad that I could only watch 2 live matches and I have to head back to Tassie. I miss the LCD and the system so much now...
That's all for today......gonna continue blogging tomorrow....yea....gonna end the blog with a movie review...bye and nite!!
