Hot Fuzz (2007)

Once again, the duo of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost never ceased to amuse me. Hot Fuzz is  a comedy action-filled police themed movie directed by Edgar Wright.

"Their duo is ultimately FANTASTIC! This movie is SERIOUSLY FUNNY!"

Since this is a comedy film, I could not stop laughing at some scenes like the Romeo & Juliet, Fruit Assassins just to name a few.

Hot Fuzz is a story of a uber-talented Policeman-Officer (-Danny said), Nicholas who is sent on a remote village to become the Sergeant as his "Promotion" well, you kinda feel reading the whole plot here cause I ain't have much time tellin' the story am I? Or just simply watch it and have a good laugh! Read here.

In this movie I've seen lots of stuffs like shotgun proof plank and unbreakable mall glass sorta...thingie. Well, what ever it is called I tell you you'll laugh at it. I like the Ketchup scenes too...

Altogether this one is a marvelous film to watch regardless of age will LOVE this! 

 

Drag me to Hell (2009)

Drag me to Hell is a Thriller movie, directed by Sam Raimi.The story about a Loan officer evicting an old gypsy out of her house due to her outstanding loans making the gypsy mad and bestowed a "Lamia" curse onto Christine Brown, the Loan Officer. Bearing a  3-day curse and escalates the torment as days pass down and on the third day, Lamia will bring her soul down to hell.

The movie was nice, has some really good shocker which caught me off guard. The entrance of the movie was nice too, Its so...catchy. The effects are nicely done but the manipulation of the ghost which is on the kettle scene at the Kitchen, its just too obvious  didn't liked it and i wasn't convinced in the acting in that scene. Also the scene where Christine was being thrown around in the air, ugh I swear she acts like "uh-oh, what did  I missed?"

Although this movie has some goofy things but I must say, I am entertained by them! 

I mean look at this Nose Blood Spray, can she still be breathing after that? And what about that Oral Fisting? Whoa....

Imma spray this to you SIR!

Okay Christine, open WIDE!

Anyways, bottom line, the movie is indeed great, but the acting was not so filling but watchable though! I like the witch, she really suits her role. Just a normal Horror-flick.

The Proposal (2009)

The Proposal is a 2009 movie directed by Anne Fletcher. A drama comedy romance movie all whacked up together into this one fabulous movie, not to mention the funny scenes!

The Proposal with Sandra Bullock and an eye candy Ryan Reynolds sure fired up the movie together for the really do made the movie into an indeed satisfying one. The characters really do suit them very well

"Gosh, they're great! As if they're so attached to the roles! Truly Magnificent!"

The acting is just great, I know how hard it is to make a funny scene look funny you know! As well a comment on the plot. Its really good and original, but the movie's plot is quite used though like the movie, The Ugly truth and Just go With it just to name a few, a Boss - Employee relationship and then they go on a trip and fall in love. But what the heck,comparing the both titles above, this one I'd say is better, the scenes, place, story and they even mention the background of the main characters without making the movie dull and without sacrificing the core scenes. But since this was a comedy film I didn't have high expectations to this considering that this is not a novel film, but I was wring, I really got enthralled by this!

Ramone doing his "exotic" dance to entice Margaret

You see, The Proposal has some really great scenes altogether, nice environment, plot and the seas also Ramone! He really made me laugh in his disturbing "exotic" dance number.

Bottom line, frankly the most vivid scene left in my mind is the scene where Margaret and Andrew were naked. Man! both of them are sexy! S-E-X-Y *drooling* Anyways! The movie is worth a watch no boring scenes and the movie entranced in a cheerful and lively manner a good start in a good movie. Until the end of the film, I've enjoyed it as well as the Q&A part, t'was funny.

The Signs (2002)

The Signs is a 2002 mystery, sci-fi, thriller movie by M. Night Shyamalan (Manoj Nelliyattu Shyamalan). The movie covers most about teh ruckus of Aliens taking over the planet harvests us causing Graham's faith as a Reverend to test.

Like in my previous blogs, I've always put a comment on how the movie progresses, is it slow? fast? boring? Well on this one I think its just...meh. I found it in the end that the scenes are all connected and gives important information in the end so I'd say its just fine.

I like the concept of Aliens trying to get hold on Earth but some things are just ain't right for me for some things as well are left unanswered and just simply skipped.

The movie is great oh yes but then again some scenes are somehow far strayed off, (my opinion) I think the death of Graham's wife has really nothing to do with the story though she does says something about he last message to her family especially the "Tell Merill to swing away" part where Merill killed the Alien by batting it on and off and throwing some water onto its face; which reminds me of this part in the end which really boggles me, what was the Alien's purpose on landing on Earth? It wasn't stated in the movie as well as the Veterinarian Rey Reddy's (hey he's the director!) purpose. He only did is to trap the Alien behind his Pantry door and the rest is like poof! I didn't even know if he survived or not? Also in at the ending where the Alien sprayed this "mist" on Morgan, was it a healing spray of a poison gas (okay, since Morgan was alive speaking I assume it is a Healing spray)? If it is, why did the Alien did that? What is with Bo's strange premonitions? At the ending itself, it was infilling, it feels nothing as if I were cut down in the middle of a climax? i must say the movie ended badly how  wished they sum all things up and give better ending like saying "every one's okay!" or some sort.

Bottom line, the movie is watchable. You see the movie poster is really catchy so I had a very high expectation on it like Human-Alien encounter-combat  and hordes of them but nah. A real eye-candy though.

The Box (2009)

The Box is a 2009 suspense drama sci-fi movie directed by Richard Kelly based on the short story of Richard Matheson: "Button, Button." The movie features Wooden box, although not actually the main issue in the movie. The movie itself have a unique...setting, the movie starts in a mysterious way not your usual movie entrance and it automatically leaves you a hint that: "My mind has to work on this one!"

The movie itself contains a lot of unexplained and unusual things, from the Man who carries the Box, the so called "experiment," strange happenings such a, nose bleeding etc. I really do a lot of things boggling in my mind after the movie have finished for most of the mare left unanswered. Examples are the people who are like being mind-control or some sort, (are they?) also Mr. Steward's "employers," whats up with the circular torrent of liquidish-jello in a NASA warehouse?

Bottom line,  Its not that I hate this one (or maybe its just me) in the end I really didn't understand what are the motive of this Mr. Steward and What about this supernatural powers and floating waters? But I understand that the one who presses the button dies, but then again they will win $1,000,000 Tax free!

Its not really that bad but if you understand the movie better than I am, feel free to make a comment and see what I'm missing out yeah?

Clash of the Titans (2010)

Clash of the Titans is an action-adventure movie (what do you else expect from a greek mythology movie?). From the director Louis Leterrier he remade a the same title from 1981, quite cool though I've only watched the trailer of the 1981 movie.

The movie Clash of the Titans is sure a nice hit and the effects really captivates me (not mentioning some fantasy movie whose special effects are..."unspeakable." You know what I mean)

The acting, effects, and oh the environment, I can barely tell which scenes are taken from a blue/green screen! All of them all looked real! Love it. The special effect and the animation is all fabulous. The giant scorpion almost looked real as well as the Gargoyles too! 

Clash of the Titans tell the story of Perseus, demi-god son of Zeus and the one who have slain the Medusa. He's the one who rides on a Pegasus with the head of a Gorgon.

Actually, the reason for me to watch this movie is because of Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, I am really fascinated about Greek Gods, well, not to compare; both movies are great and a must to see these if you are interested in Greek myth stuffs.

My Comment:

The movie is great, really awesome its just that I've put much expectations to this one for the title says "Clash of the Titans" and i was expecting more of a "Titan" stuffs; like the Clash of the Gods of the Old, Gaia, Cronus, Oranos etc. For me, the title of misleading for the creatures that appeared in this movie were not Titans but just another creature, a Kraken is not a Titan.

Overall, this is a great movie with a great setting, have some nice actors and nice execution. I'll rate this as 4 stars, not that perfect but will make you entertained. Cheers!

The Descent: Part 2

First things first, I've already watched the Part 1 and I can fully say THIS one is better but shorter. The Descent: Part 2 is a wonderful sequel to its predecessor and I must say its really good!

I didn't expect that the story would be like this, actually in some parts of me I feel sorry for the ending, I know its an "impact" ending but I'd rather consider this as a BAD ending...why?

Cause all of them died! Ugh, and come to think that Juno was alive as well (actually when the scene where Sarah & Juno finally met, I felt kinda, whoa this is gonna great, their friends again! HA!), but then suddenly they died in the end.  <---- Sorry for the spoiler there, unfortunately I don't know how to make those Show/hide buttons you see, doesn't seem to work @_@ anyways, like I said,  how I wished the ending was a little lighter, a happy ending not leaving the viewers heavy headed and frustrated. The man at the end of the film, why did he do that? I'm sure he knows something and we will all know that...on the Part 3.




 

The Descent

Today I've watched Neil Marshall's The Descent and I was like whoa. The movie itself is an Action thrilling adventure in genre and it was great. The story is about 5 girls who are looking for adventure and decided to explore an unexplored cave but instead the cave found them. The cave is filled with unknown creatures more like a mutant though you could recognize the face for it looked like the monster in Wrong Turn series.

There's really nothing to say more about this movie for there is nothing "hyped' about except for the blood thirsty fiends who feasts flesh in the dark.

My Comment:

The first 13 minutes of the movie was laggy, rather boring. I've watched a lot of movies before and yet the entrance of the story didn't bore me at all; but this one is something different though I can see that all the scenes are core...I think they're missing out something but I can't put my finger on it.

I just love the action scene between Juno and Sarah versus a horde of creatures especially when Sarah protrude her fingers into the creatures eyes.

Overall, the movie is indeed remarkable, great, watchable and thrilling. The environment really gives you the creeps but the childish laughter is rather unbelievable. I can also see that the bats on the cave entrance were just special effects, nice try though.

Howl's Moving Castle

Howl's Moving Castle (Hauru no ugoku shiro) is one of Hayao Miyazaki's masterful animation. Howl's Moving Castle is a Fantasy-adventure movie consisting of witches and wizards and a waging war based on the novel of the same name by Diana Wynne Jones.

The movie is indeed magnificent with rich details and colorful scenery will sure captivated anyone who will watch this film.

On the story, the story is nice, people can get the ideas fast but some events leads the viewers hanging in mid air for some events are left unexplained.

The movie itself is truly magnificent though some parts of the movie leaves the viewers empty. I really loved how the story turned out by bringing an unexpected twist to the movie (e.g. The Witch of the Waste became their ally).

The bottom line, Yes,the movie if great, watchable and still though doesn't gives you the same feeling as watching Spirited Away.

My Comment:


 I liked the movie, that's a +1. though like I said earlier it kinda left me hanging.

1. The curse that the Witch of the Waste bestowed upon Sophie, was the curse has been lifted in the end? Why each and every scene her face changes (from old to young) and if she was returned to normal why is that her hair is still white?

2. I'm confused on Sophie's changes, in every scene I thought the curse has been lifted but not. Really confusing.

3. On the scene that the "ring" turned blue, why is that?

4. How did Sophie managed to go "past" into Howl's childhood?

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is an action fantasy movie about a boy discovering that he is no ordinary child but instead, he discovers that he is a descendant of a God. Greek God! But one problem lies, Percy, son of Poseidon was accused of stealing the Master Bolt of Zeus and demands of its return before the Summer Solstice arrive or a war would engage and the battlefield will the Earth...

The movie is based on the book Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan. A really great movie without missing the core parts of the story from the book.  The special effects are just spectacular, highly polished magical effects but the sword fight is just not too realistic but then again the fast paced story and good deliberation of roles covered them real good that you wouldn't even notice it.
