Movie Title: Pacific Rim Strong Point:  1. Plenty of non-stop action from the start till finish at approx. 2 hours - Not much of breather.  2. Robot versus monster action aplenty -- slug fest of the gigantic proportion, best view it on biggest screen Weak Point: 1. Plot is weak, storyline is weak and dialogue is quite horrible too. Luckily the acting was saved by Idris Elba's strong

Movie Title: World War Z Strong Point: Pace was ok, beginning was ok. Action was breathtaking especially in Jerusalem Weak Point: Aplenty. Incoherent plot and some does not make sense. Didn't state why Brat Pitt as UN Lead Investigator suddenly drop out from UN, why he is suddenly called up again and why he is suddenly the important person in finding the cure although not a  scientist

Movie:  Man of Steele Strong Point:  Good start to the Superman franchise. A good 10~15 mins of great action sequence at the beginning of the movie showing planet Krypton. So don't miss coming in late. A good fighting scenes of Superman against Faora and another massive huge guy. It's like OK Coral in a western gun fight. Great & destructive CGI sequence of fighting scenes

I will comment most of the movies from now onwards in more structured and point based so that people might not think this article as too long-winded and based on the review - either a must see or down the toilet bowl. So lets start with the 1st real summer blockbuster movie: Movie:  Fast & Furious 6 aka Fast 6 Weak Point:  Less street racing across the town, change tune to

Review: Olympus Has Fallen. This movie is just under my radar few weeks before it was shown in my local theaters. I guess one of the reason why i didn't manage to pick up this excellent movie is because of its ehm...rather mundane title. It somehow makes the wow factor just disappear and i almost pass it up due to its B-Grade Movie Title Name. However after looking at the impressive cast

Review: The fact that this film was executive produced by Guillermo del Toro, we need to be really cautious especially after the disappointing horror film in "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark". The trailer was quite nice but the actual film didn't. It's a simple story of how 2 girls stay hidden and isolated from the world in a cabin for 5 years with a supernatural ghostly creature called "Mama'.

Although we are about 3 months into year 2013, this is the first time i have written for year 2013. I am rather excited that this year, 2013 has many hotly anticipated movies that i am looking forward to see - as much as i could either on the theaters, cinemas, DVDs, or web based. Some of the movies that i cannot wait for the countdown are in the genre as follows: Horror The Evil Dead - Remake

Review: I notice that there are a lot of buzz in the past few months in the internet on how scary this movie is and that it is one of the scariest found footage in recent times. This movie is an anthology whereby few short movies by different directors are combined into a single movie. There are a total of 6 short movies - Tape 56, Amateur Night, Second Honeymoon, Tuesday the 17th, The Sick

Review: There were great heap of praises before the movie was releases: I read about tons of reviews on how this latest James Bond movie is the greatest movie in the James Bond franchise, the action scenes are the best there is for an action movie flick and etc. After reading it and also reviewing the trailer, i was all pump up to watch this movie. The trailer shows pretty much about what this

Review: The movie began in a very dark, bizarre way - showing a family of 4 being hanged from a tree behind their house. Somehow, it sets a serious sinister tone to the movie and boy was i in for a ride. The movie is quite well paced and the weirdness/scary/twisted started quite soon without dragging. It is about a writer, Ellison Oswalt (Ethan Hawke) who wanted to write a new book based on a

Review: "Taken 2" is an anticipated sequel to the 2008 surprise hit movie "Taken" that propel Liam Neeson to become an action superstar ala Jason Bourne did to Matt Damon. I watch "Taken" on DVD even before there was any review whatsoever and lets just say, I was blown-away by the action, plot, emotion portray by Brian Mills (brilliantly played by Liam Neeson) as a concern father looking for

Review: After watching the 1st movie, i came to a conclusion that this movie franchise is based on action stars coming together in the same movie - forget the unoriginal plot, forget the poor acting, forget the cheesy dialogue and forget any logic behind it. In fact, just forget everything and leave you brain at home and enjoy the masculine, adrenaline action superstars (current, upcoming and

Review: I still remember the first Resident Evil, directed by the same director, Paul W.S. Anderson and i would consider that movie still the best of the whole series (of 5 up to now). I always like Resident Evil, being an avid computer gamer fan of this franchise, Resident Evil game is always scary, mysterious and entertaining. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the movie franchise.

Review: This is a ghost movie made-in Singapore recently released on DVD. I guess it was release in conjunction with the "7 month" , in a chinese calender meaning the month of Hungry Ghost to boost up sales. I saw many scare movies being release normally during this season every year but many of the movies are made purposely for this occasion, so throw out the good storyline and in-comes the

Review: In fact i do not know how to review this movie. To say that it wants to be original than other movie storyline would be an understatement. It does try to be unique but unfortunately it falls flat and i wouldn't be bothered to even see the rest of the movie after the first 15 minutes. The story started with the many disappearance of  children especially from broken home families

Review: I went into the cinema with some expectation especially after reviewing this movie trailer just a week before the opening. For the past few months, i always had the impression that this movie is going to be the same old exorcism movie - weak, predictable, same scary moments, and i might say boring script with many influences of religion-type script involving a priest like the Rite, The

Review: Just to sums it up on this animation movie is that it is a simple movie with an embedded message to viewers on the environment impact to our earth. This animation movie is supposedly inspired by the same children story book by Dr.Seuss. The movie follows a 12-year old boy, Ted who lives in an enclosed community, Thneedville whereby everything is made of plastics and non-organic

Review: I didn't really expect the movie by the eccentric Sacha Baron Cohen to be that good. I find Borat and Bruno to be an okay movie with its comedy draws on excessive nudity and vulgarity but this is a good movie with the right balance of nudity, vulgarity, comedic and easy to follow storyline.The movie showcase a dictator, Admiral General Shabazz Aladeen' tyranny and bad treatment to his

Review: I watch this movie without any expectation nor have i read any synopsis on this movie and boy, i am glad that i did. The movie sequence was extremely good and the pace was fantastic. They film the movie as if it was a continuous shot and makes us somehow felt that we are part of the movie inside. The movie shows that a teenage girl, Sarah together with her dad and uncle decided to

The Raid: Redemption (Indonesia) Review I manage to get hold of a copy called the Raid after hearing many positive review on this movie in particularly of the action scenes. After watching it, i can conclude that the storyline was just average and direct, the acting was also so-so but the action was relentless, forceful and the execution was just perfect. The movie plot is simple with a band

Review: I enjoyed the first movie - Batman Begins but i was blown away with the second movie- The Dark Knight especially the performance of Heath Ledger's Joker character. The second movie has a complex script that is unique and masterful in every department. Thus, i guess everyone was kinda excited and thrill to hear that director, Christoper Nolan was going for his third movie and his last

Review: I think i shall skipped the synopsis and go straight with the review as i have tons of movies to review but was unable to do so due to many commitments especially since my last review of The Avengers which was consider as relic in movie timeline. Lets move on to the 1st movie that i watch after The Avengers, called Prometheus. In the months before the release of this movie, the movie

The Avengers Synopsis: The movie started almost immediately with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) trying to unlocked the natural power of tesseract, an unknown energy source that previously in Thor, it was reveal. However, the energy opened up a portal for Loki (Tom Hiddleston), step-brother of Thorto step into earth and creates havoc by stealing the tesseract and possessed Haweye, Clink

The Hunger Games Synopsis: The movie started with an explanation of how the Hunger Games comes about in a nation called Panem in North America. It consists of a wealthy Capitol and 12 districts who once rebel against the capitol due to the suppression of its 12 district. As a result of the rebellion, Capitol decided to punish these districts by having an annual event where 1 boy and 1 girl from

The Grey Synopsis: A simple story about Ottway (Liam Neeson) who is a hunter, preventing wolves from attacking oil-diggers in the Antarctic. On the way back home, he and other oil-diggers boarded a plane and crashes in a cold-icy mountain. The movie didn't show a full-blown airplane or how the airplane suddenly caught fire and crashes. Then, it shows that only Ottway and few survivors escape
