The film is set in 1973 when William Randa (John Goodman), informs the government that they have detected a previously unknown island and need to investigate it. William recruits a team and asks for a military escort. The characters could have been better for sure XD In addition to Kong, there's other creatures like Skull crawlers, pterosaur and giant spider. Speaking of action scenes, I think it's way much better then Godzilla. The graphic design is so authentic and extraordinary. The actors in this film were great especially John C. Reilly's character. I like his portrayal of his character and how his personal storyline progressed =)
The film was a great roller-coaster ride and had me on the edge of my seat pretty much the entire time that I was watching it. I truly vvv entertained with this film. Probably this is the best monster movie I've seen it in years. Go feast your eyes on this flick guys!
One last thing, stay until the end of credits sequence! Everyone left the theater except me and boyfie =P ( hint: I can't wait for 2020's epic clash, Godzilla vs. Kong )
I love to watch horror film because I love to be frightened. Sound strange but actually true =D I have been watching horror film since I was a kid.. Oh ya ehem ... I have watched the movie ''UNSPOKEN''. This is a low budget horror film from Canada, where 95% of the scene are captured in a house. The movie was produced by the Steven Schneider, he has only been producing films for 9 years but he has already racked up 39 credits, many of those on notable entries in the horror genre like ''PARANORMAL ACTIVITY'', ''INSIDIOUS'' and ''BLAIR WITCH''. I never ever missed any horror/thriller movies once the movies were released.
Well well well, the story line of the movie ( UNSPOKEN ) is about a family ( Anderson family ) has vanished from their home without a trace on year 1997. No bodies were ever found and the house has remained undisturbed until ... now ... year 2016 ... A single mother ( Jeanie ) with her son ( Adrian ) to move into the house and she hires a babysitter ( Angela ) to look after her son. And soon, Angela starts to experiences some spooky occurrences...
This movie was actually doing pretty well even it lacks of visual effect ( my opinion ). Trust me, the ending was unexpected!! To anyone wanting a lil more creepy, ''Unspoken'' might not satisfy you =X
I've just watched ''Inferno'' at City Mall and I never thought that this movie would be sooooo nice!!!! Idk why did the movie get so many negative reviews? It's a radically enjoyable thriller ar~ Well, Inferno is a 2013 mystery thriller novel by American author Dan Brown ( Err tbh I have never read his novel ). The movie's start is vv confusing me, where Professor Langdon ( character ) wakes up in a hospital with no idea how he came to be there, team up with Dr. Sienna Brooks to recover his memories. Among Langdon's belongings, Langdon and Sienna find a faraday pointer, which projects an image of the hell ( Dante's nine circles ). This is the first clue Langdon needs to decode and find the hidden message. Nah I'm a biggg fan ♥ of puzzle solving movies that can keep my eyes glued till the end and guess the hidden message of the movies.
This movie runs quite interesting until Sienna Brooks is revealing the true intentions. Watch the movie to figure WHY ^^ Apparently the story has a lot of intrigue, the visual effects of Dante's hell was amazing too. This movie has its own twists and deserves to be seen IF you are interested. =)
Actually I don't like Korean movies but since everyone is posting on Facebook about how heartfelt the ending is and even people who don't usually like thriler/zombie movies seem to like this movie. So ... I decided to watch it. The theater was vvv crowded. Luckily we were warned of the long lines and boyfie bought the tickets online. Most of the seats were already occupied. >_<
The movie starts with a father, Seok Woo, he is bringing his daughter Su An to visit his ex wife who lives in the port city of Busan by train. Before the train leaves Seoul station, a girl infected with a horrific virus jumps onto the train. She became frantic and began biting into the flesh of the passengers on train. So the story is about a couple of passengers struggle to survive on the train from Seoul to Busan. The movie shows how selfish a human can be. Not denying the fact that nowadays human beings have gotten more selfish... =(
Sang Hwa looked kind of badass and uncouth man but he's actually an uxorious and kindhearted man. He fights to protect his pregnant wife, Sung Kyung. However, he sacrificed himself to hold the door while others escape to safety.
Kim Eui Sung starred as the selfish transportation executive named Yong Suk. Everyone made sacrifices and died because of his selfishness.
The heartbreaking part is when Seok Woo tells Sung Kyung and Su An how to stop the engine at the end of the track as he sacrifices himself before he is transformed. This scene is definitely had us bawling inside the cinema.
The movie is more like the ups and downs of a roller coaster from beginning to end. But I think the story is progressing too fast and the ending seems incomplete. They should explain more about the infection. If you like zombie film don't miss this great movie. To those who haven't watched Train to Busan may judge the movie just a typical zombie film, BUT it is the story of relationships and interactions that rises above the horrific carnage. *P/S : Just make sure you bring a lot of tissue.
Watched the movie at Suria yesterday. It was my first time watching a movie in d-box ( incredibly expensive =.= ) It's basically a vibrating chair in the cinema that moves according to the movie. hehe. I'm not sure why many critics said the movie was so "terrible". I'm not a comic book fan and I'm not familiar with the characters from the comic book but I personally think Suicide Squad is gooooood for many reasons.
The first one is Boomerang, the second is Harley Quinn, she is Joker's insane partner in crime. The third from is Deadshot, a sniper that never miss a single shot. The middle one is Katana, she's the protector of Rick Flagg. The rough monster is Killer Croc and the last one is Diablo, the master of flames. Diablo's full powers were very awesome at the end. There are back stories for every character but didn't' felt much. The team of criminals led by Rick Flagg are assembled and forced to help a special teams unit as in Escape From New York. They must enter the city and retrieve someone important, but the Joker is tracking their movements as he tries to take Harley back.
The witch-goddess, Enchantress and her brother motive just like X-men Apocalypse. They want to destroy the earth. Enchantress has the power of persuasion to make people do whatever she wants.
The characters were good although some don't get enough screen time. Harley Quinn was the best role in the movie, I doesn't like Katana, she is probably the worst out of all the characters. ( just my opinion).
I love this part of Joker and Harley screenplay ↓
Joker points down towards the vats.
Joker: “There. I was born down there.” Harley stares down. She desperately wants the same. Joker: “Would you die for me?” Harley nods. Harley: “Yes.” Joker: “No… that’s too easy. Would you live for me?” Joker smiles, scaring her. Joker: “Will you embrace me, and only me?” Harley nods vigorously. Joker: “Will you bind your spirit to mine… in hate? Do you consign your soul to me? Do you laugh at the world in disgust?” Harley: “…yes.” Joker: “Do not say this oath thoughtlessly. Desire becomes surrender. Surrender becomes power. Do you want it? Do you really want it?” Harley: “I do. I do.” Joker: “Then goodbye, Doctor Quinzel.”
Joker gestures towards the edge of the vat. Without hesitation she jumps. Joker thinks “She’s gone and problem solved.” He walks away and suddenly he feels something...Love. The relationship between Joker and Harley was always complicated. Joker is abusive and manipulative towards Harley but he did feel affection for Harley. Harley and Joker should have their own movie!! Hopefully an extended version boosts this up, because I was absolutely thrilled by every sequence with Joker & Harley Quinn ♥
This movie had some more comedy and at the same time dark so it melded vv well. Overall, the movie was great, the action scenes and soundtrack was awesome. It was more enjoyable than Batman V Superman. Oopss!*
A creature that only appears when the lights go out...
Valak is out, and now it's Diana! LOL ''Lights Out'' is a horror film that is based on a 3 minute 2013 short film and both were directed by David F. Sandberg. Produced by the the one who is the big name in horror industry right now, James Wan. The movie is pretty much like ''Babadook'' in which the storylines is between monstrosity and mental illness. If you seen the trailer, then you get the tone of the movie. It's rated "PG-13" for terror, violence, disturbing images and drug content and has a running time of 1 hour & 21 minutes. Some scenes are too scary. Just push back your seat and ready to get frightened when lights went out. XD
Synopsis:
When Rebecca left home, she thought she left her childhood fears behind. Growing up, she was never really sure of what was and wasn't real when the lights went out...and now her little brother, Martin, is experiencing the same unexplained and terrifying events that had once tested her sanity and threatened her safety. A frightening entity with a mysterious attachment to their mother, Sophie, has reemerged. But this time, as Rebecca gets closer to unlocking the truth, there is no denying that all their lives are in danger...once the lights go out.
Some of their backstories are kind of told, but kinda rushed and forced in in some cases. Speaking of Diana, she is creepy tho but the movie didn't have the creative twists that I enjoyed from movies like ''Insidious'', ''Case 39'' and ''The Conjuring''. I'm a huge horror buff and fairly difficult person to frighten because I have been watching scary movies for years. So this movie not as good as I expected but overall it was ok. Would rate it 3 out of 5 stars =)
#P/s: You may want to leave the lights on after watching the “Lights Out” movie =P
Just watched this with boyfie yesterday. This is a story people from diff backgrounds who meet each other by chance, and change each others lives forever...
Lou is a silly, charming girl with a sense of humor and fantastic imagination from a small town. Will has a wonderful life, he go wherever he wants and do whatever he desires. But...that was before the accident happens... Lou loses her job at The Buttered Bun tea shop. She goes to the job center and got offered as a caretaker of a paralyzed man ( Will ) after several failed attempts. There is no love at first sight when they met. Lou plans out a marvelous series of events in order to make his life better. Louisa discovered that Will has given his parents 6months and they must bring him to Switzerland for euthanasia. Lou wants to change his mind and prove to Will that his life is worth living. But for Will, death is preferable to a paralyzed life because he cannot deal with the pain and suffering of his disability. The movie ends with Lou reading Will's last words in a letter, that tell her to 'live well'.at a cafe in Paris after Will's death. Totally sobbed at the end...
I really loved this movie and characters a lot especially Lou. I loved watching both of them change and grow as they learned to appreciate. This movie revealed love but also the harsh reality of life. Heartbreaking, yet inspiring. ♥
So I watched Warcraft ( the movie was based on the video game ). I never played WoW ( World of Warcraft ) and I had no expectations on the movie but I have to say the movie was entertaining! The visual effects were vv good. ( Some visuals were too strong for children ). The film begins with an Orc warrior ( Durotan ), his pregnant wife ( Draka ) and their clan leaving their perishing world by passing thru a portal. On the other side is Azeroth. The world of Azeroth lead by humans and it is the birthplace of many races, humans, hobbits, elves...etc. They attack the humans once they arrived...Want to know more? Click the link below for more further information.
There's a vague love story between Lothar and Garona that just feels rushed and pointless. For those who have yet to watch the movie, don't pay attention to the critics, try to watch some of the Warcraft trailer videos, as you make sense of the story you might enjoy the movie more! It might feel like Lord of the Ring to some sense but definitely worth to watch =)
Watched The Conjuring 2 last night. I was wondering how good it would be after the first one. Tbh The Conjuring 2 isn't quite as good as The Conjuring 1 but it's still pretty great. The Conjuring was one of my favorites in recent years. One of my fav things about these films is James Wan's directional style. Some people can't get enough of scary movies. They've seen tons of scary films. Yeah that's me =D What makes a scary movie scarier is knowing that it is based on a true story. Knowing that somebody actually went thru the terror in reality is something that does not let one sleep easily. The Conjuring 2 is based on a true story of the Enfield haunting.

The viral Facebook post:
A 65y/o man died in a cinema auditorium last week while watching The Conjuring 2. The incident occurred at the Sri Balasubramaniar Cinema in Tiruvannamalai, a town in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The man complained of chest pains during the film’s climax, and fainted shortly afterwards. He was rushed to the nearby Old Government Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead. Medics ordered his body to be sent to the Tiruvannamalai Government Medical College Hospital for post-mortem but, according to the Times of India, the cadaver, and the person charged with transporting it, have both gone missing. While there are no doubt rational explanations for both the man’s death and the disappearance of his body, the story has fuelled a wave of supernatural panic on social media that has accompanied the film’s release.
Another viral Facebook post:
About a week ago, Singaporean couple Damian Ng and his girlfriend claimed that they had horrifying experience during their trip to Miri, Sarawak after watching The Conjuring 2. The couple had just returned from their movie, and retreated to their room in the Imperial Hotel at 230am. Feeling exhausted after a whole night out and they decided to take a quick nap. Damian’s girlfriend woke up 15 minutes later to brush her teeth, and noticed something really strange in the washroom – a cross drawn on the bathroom mirror. Thinking that this is a prank by her boyfriend, she woke him up to ask him about it. They noticed something amiss when Damian had know knowledge about it, and assumed that she saw the one pranking him. Things got really strange when they went back into the bathroom and saw something horrifying. The cross that was on the mirror was fresher than it was previously, with water droplets flowing down one side, as if just done moments ago. Realising that this is no prank and now terrified, they quickly called the hotel up to change their rooms. In his Facebook post, Damain gave his thanks to the hotel staff, who were kind enough to assist despite the late hour.
The movie plot:
The film begins with paranormal investigators EdandLorraine Warren documenting the Amityville murders at the Amityville house in 1976, to determine if a demonic presence was truly responsible for Ronald DeFeo Jr. mass murdering his family on November 13, 1974. During a seance, Lorraine is drawn into a vision where she relives the murders and discovers a demonic nun figure, before seeing Ed being fatally impaled. After a struggle, Ed is able to break her out of the vision.
One year later, in 1977, the Hodgson family begins to discover strange occurrences within their home in London, England. Janet, the second oldest of four children, is seen sleepwalking and conversing in her dreams with an entity who insists that the house is his. Eventually, all siblings of the house and their mother Peggy witness paranormal events occurring right before their eyes, forcing them to seek refuge with their neighbors. When the media attempts to interview the Hodgsons, Janet is possessed by the spirit of Bill Wilkins, an older man who previously lived and died in the house, and who wants to claim his territory. As Janet begins to show more signs of demonic possession, the story eventually reaches the Warrens, who are requested to assist the local Church in the investigation. Lorraine, in fear of her vision of Ed's death becoming reality, warns him not to get too involved in the case, and reluctantly agrees to travel to London.
While staying at the Hodgson residence, Ed and Lorraine consult with other paranormal investigators, including Maurice Grosse and Anita Gregory, on the legitimacy of the case. They also attempt to communicate with Wilkins' spirit, hoping to talk him out of harassing the family. One night, after the Hodgsons witness Janet being possessed, Gregory presents video evidence of Janet purposely wrecking the kitchen as if for a prank. Ed and Lorraine are then convinced to leave the family on their own, but soon they discover that the spirit of Wilkins is only a pawn, being manipulated to haunt Janet, while the true mastermind is the demonic spirit that has been haunting Lorraine in her visions.
Ed and Lorraine return to the Hodgson residence, only to find Janet being possessed once more and the rest of the Hodgsons locked outside the house. A lightning strike hits a tree near the house, leaving a jagged stump resembling the object that impaled Ed in Lorraine's vision. Ed ventures inside the house alone, and finds Janet standing near the window, ready to leap onto the stump and commit suicide. He manages to grab Janet in time, but finds himself holding onto a curtain that is being torn from its rings by his and Janet's weight. Lorraine remembers that she wrote the demon's name – Valak – in her Bible during her Amityville vision. She enters the house and confronts Valak, addressing it by name and successfully condemning it back to Hell. Janet is freed of her possession, and Lorraine pulls her and Ed to safety.
A text epilogue reveals that Peggy lived the rest of her life in that house and died in 2003, sitting in the same chair in which Wilkins had died 40 years earlier. Upon returning home, Ed adds an item to his and Lorraine's collection – "The Crooked Man" zoetrope toy owned by Peggy's youngest child – placing it near April's music box and the Annabelle doll. The couple then dance to "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley.
P/S. Last night I couldn’t sleep for hearing about the strange noises....
X-Men : Apocalypse was one of my most anticipated movie of 2016. I watched the movie last weekend, This was actually a really great movie. Definitely better than Captain America Civil War tho. X-Men: Apocalypse ties up what's came before with what's ahead. All characters are visually stunning. The backgrounds enrich the mutant's history and the references to past X-Men movies are littered thru the entire movie. I loved Alexandra Shipp ( Mohawk Sorm ) and Olivia Munn ( Psylocke ) performances and acting. Some scenes are very laughable like Quicksilver rescuing a dog eating pizza. Yup! A dog eating pizza sounds ridiculous right? Well, he’s actually rescuing everybody out of the the faculty before it all goes boom. The appearance of Wolverine fitted in nicely although very brief. At first I thought Magneto was the most powerful mutant but technically Jean is the most powerful one because she can merged with the primal force.

When you think about weekend, what springs to mind? Most likely making trips to Kundasang? Karambunai? Whatever! In fact, pretty much everything you do over the long weekend will involve getting in a car and going somewhere. In other words, there’s going to be traffic jam. EVERYWHEREEE! Boyfie came and picked me up around 8pm and we headed to Imago. The parking area of Imago was sooooo packed but luckily we found the parking lot nearby the entrance. Oh ya the AirAsia Travel Fair 2016 kicks off in Imago. ( no wonder this place is crowded with people ) Travellers can enjoy 20% off base fares for all seats on all AirAsia and AirAsia X flights to over 100 destinations throughout all of its route network across 20 countries, with 0 fuel surcharges!! The promotions comprise an additional RM200 off flight bookings from Kota Kinabalu to Singapore when they purchase 2 seats, as well as buy 1 free 1 for flights from KK-KL-Perth. We headed straight for dinner at Dragon i. The average portions size were a bit small and pricey but delicious. Well, we generally watch movie after having our dinner. Captain America : Civil War has finally been released so we headed to Suria for the movie.
I stepping out of the car, filled with excitement and walked into the theater. I've never seen any of the Iron Man movies. The only Marvel film I have ever seen was the Captain America, Ant Man and Spider Man. The movie isn't boring, I'm just knackered! I have desperately tried to stay awake but find myself nodding in and out and then lose some chunks of the film =.=
I admire Black Widow soooo much! I think it's a mix of her being very pretty and Her battle reflexes are soooooo good. She doesn't have any supernatural power or gadget suit. She's a human, just extremely well-trained, kind of like Batman.
Spider Man and Ant Man are what made this movie good. They always make fight scene so funny. All of the Avengers were fighting each other for the moral principles they stood for and then Spider Man and Ant Man were just hanging around like “Oh yeah I wanna be a part of the Avengers brawl” Btw Andrew Garfield did an amazing job at portraying Peter Parker, why he being replaced by Tom Holland??? Tom Holland looks too young. Sorry to say but he's toooo young!
The story was diff from the typical superhero story line we've seen in just about every movie. In Civil War, Iron Man and Captain America create two separate teams that prepare to fight each other over a government act that would have superheroes reveal their true identities. The fight scenes were really spectacular especially the battle in the airport. The fight scene was quite intense. Everyone else played their role pretty much as expected. Overall very impressed and I would give it ★★★★☆
By the time I reached home it was almost 130am. So this is how my Saturday night ended =D
The Movie has finally been released! Fans say good, critics say bad. I personally enjoyed the film even though I had to take a moment to process it all =D The film starts strong and ends strong, The middle was like a bunch of hills, ↑ and ↓ because I don't see how all those events are connected. If you are an actual DC comic fan then you will be more easier to understand the story plot. The best scene is thrilling face-off battle between Batman and Superman. This makes the movie interesting to the core. I like Wonder Woman because she has a good mix of superpowers and combat moves. Wonder Woman played by Israeli actress Gal Gadot. She is soooo naturally beautiful and her accent is so sexy! ♥ I rate this movie ★★★★☆
What's next after Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice?
