breaking dawn

Fan Service. That’s what I would call this first part of the Twilight Saga finale, Breaking Dawn. In terms of movie plot, there’s really nothing much going on. Just 4 main things: wedding, honeymoon, honeymoon and pregnancy. Oh sorry. Did I count honeymoon twice? That part rather was rather stretched out for about half of  [ Read More ]

Atom is a basic unit of matter that consists of a dense central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. Ahhhh. Humor me. I got that from wikipedia of course. Though I guess my science background is not that bad enough to remember that atom is said to be the smallest particle ever.  [ Read More ]

art of getting by

A movie that came from the same studio as Juno and 500 Days of Summer starring Freddie Highmore (Chocolate Factory/August Rush) and Emma Roberts (Scream 4) does sounds very promising. As early as now though, I got to say I’m disappointed with this film. The Art of Getting by movie just quite doesn’t get by.  [ Read More ]

I would literally watch any movie right now as long as Emma Stone is in it. I even watched Friends with Benefits though she only has a minute or two screen time. I’ve been in love with her since Easy A. And I was right. She’s the next big thing. She has a lot of  [ Read More ]

I fell in love with the book. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can say the same thing with this 2011 movie adaptation. I guess I just expected too much after waiting for too long for this movie to be available. I guess I trusted too much that this movie is just as good as the  [ Read More ]

I definitely can’t help but feel nostalgic before, during and after watching this movie. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 after all marks the end of a decade long Harry Potter saga. It was action-packed, visually stunning and perfectly-acted. It was an emotional ride — I had to fight some tears beneath the  [ Read More ]

Transformers3 Dark of the moon

I’ve read a lot of bad reviews before I watched this film. That being said I had lower expectations when I finally had my chance to see this in the movie house. I just wanted to watch some mindless/action-packed movie with awesome special effects — and yeah, Director Michael Bay did deliver. He sure does  [ Read More ]

This movie is awful. It’s disappointing to see a great actor like James Franco (127 Hours) take part in such dimwitted, stupid movie as Your Highness. Same goes with Zooey Deschanel (500 Days of Summer). I don’t care much about Natalie Portman or Danny McBride. James and Zooey were enough for me to look forward  [ Read More ]

The first 30 minutes of the film was really awesome. It started off with Hanna (Saoirse Ronan) showing off her hunting skills using a bow and arrow which reminded me why she was one of my personal choices when it comes to portraying Katniss Everdeen. Too bad that’s no longer possible but at least I’m  [ Read More ]

Green Lantern

Granted, that the Green Lantern indeed suffered from a predictable plot and a number of awkward scenes and cheesy dialogues. But I just really enjoyed watching the movie. It was fun and geez, the visual was stunning! I’m mostly referring to the effects of course especially those scenes that involves the “ring”. It was pretty  [ Read More ]
