Elysium (2013)

Set in the year 2154, where the very wealthy live on a man-made space station while the rest of the population resides on a ruined Earth, a man takes on a mission that could bring equality to the polarized worlds.

Today is Action Saturday. And now I feature you the movie Elysium by Neill Blomkamp starring none other than Matt Damon.

The movie is set to a futuristic time where human race has been divided into two factions. The Earth citizens and the Elysium citizens which are more advanced compared to the citizens of Earth that's has been fallen to anarchy.

The movie focuses in the attempt of the Earth people to penetrate inside the city of Elysium to get healed/treated.

So far, the movies not too shabby, to too great, just right. The plot is somewhat weak, for me...and its quite predictable though.

Effects. The effects are nice, the phase beam, lasers, gun fires and stunts are amazing.

Storyline. The storyline is somewhat so-so, its like that there is something missing but you cannot just get your finger on it.

Overall, the movie is watchable and nice however do not expect too much though, for those who wants to kill time and has nothing much to do, go check out this film.

The Wolverine (2013)

The Wolverine directed by James Mangold is I bet the sequel to the movie after the X-men were disbanded. I said "I bet" because I didn't watch the movie before this, plus I'm not much of an x-men guy but I'm starting though!

Plot. Normal. The movie is like a Chinese martial art film plus a mutant that instantly heals its wounds, yes, Wolverine.

I actually like the movie, the movie is packed with nice action scenes, the train scene, the bad ass king-fu battles and ninja warriors.

The plot is quite weak, for me. The story is like saving the princess from the bad guys and the bad guys finally gets the girl and imprison her in the castle and then then the hero comes and there the final confrontation will happen...boss battle.

White House Down (2013)

A Capitol Policeman John Cale has just been denied his dream job with the Secret Service of protecting President James Sawyer. Not wanting to let down his little girl with the news, he takes her on a tour of the White House, when the complex is overtaken by a heavily armed paramilitary group. Now, with the nation's government falling into chaos and time running out, it's up to Cale to save the president, his daughter, and the country.

Hmm, what more can I say about this movie, --AWESOME! Wow, I never been so at the edge of my seat when watching a movie and definitely, this one made me.

Today is Tuesday movie day and right now, I feature you an action, thriller movie starring Jamie Foxx and Channing Tatum entitled: White House Down.

Pacific Rim (2013)

If you're into big stuff and Gundam, this is the movie for you! Pacific Rim, directed by Guillermo del Torro is a movie that took place in a post-apocalyptic world where human race is being threatened by the Aliens by sending dinosaur sized aliens to do the genocide, BUT will the humans just sit like a duck seeing their race grow extinct? No, so they build this huge, cool looking Robots to exterminate these aliens and there the story of Pacific Rim is made...

Plot. The story is awesome I liked it. Something new in the eyes....oh wait what about Transformers? Hmm I have to say, comparing both movies, this time I'll go with Pacific Rim, MAN! Just look how detailed and realistic the movements of the Jaegers, and the graphics! Its as close to reality! And hey, I'm not downgrading Transformers okay? I just can't help to compare because both features Huge Robots, okay?

Man of Steel (2013)

Today I've we watched the man of steel this 13th of June.

Outstanding, that's what I can say. All the wait for this sequel has finally paid off. The graphics are all excellent, no cheesy green screen effects, fully loaded with breath taking fighting scenes and of course...Henry Cavill.

In this installment of Superman, I have observed that Lois Lane is no longer "the girl that always gets in trouble then superman helps her", bit instead, she became --well sort of normal type of woman.

Also, I've seen that this version of Man of Steel they didn't use his' weakness stone, the Kryptonite which is good, they've avoided the mainstream for once.

Immortals (2011)

Before watching the Immortals I was like expecting some magical stuff especially in the trailer I saw the Gods interfere with mankind and I was like: "Bring on the Thunder Baby!" But then the movie surprised me and the Man Skirt really a fad those days! Hahaha!

I am really a fan of Greek Story stuffs that's why I watch every one of them (I hate reading it especially when there is no pictures). Since I've watched Clash of the Titans, I can't help to think in this movie, where ARE the Immortals? or Where are the Titans? Should it be...you know, Huge and Freaky?

The movie is nice and compelling and I really loved the fighting scenes. I can't even imagine how they managed to pull those stunts and come to think of it the scene somehow resembles of 300. But then again it was brilliantly executed.

Conan the Barbarian (2011)

Conan the Barbarian is a really nice Fantasy, Action, Adventure movie even though the story is almost worn out due to the typical "Burn the Village scenario killing all inhabitants but fails to kill one and then the sole survivor avenges his tribe and saving the world from a prophesied doom from an evil warlock and the hero will not be getting girl." scenario but hey that doesn't mean that the movie is bad, its great! I enjoyed the movie, quite entertaining, the gore level is nice, bloody; the special effects used is nice too! The Sand Men are really cool, as if they're diving on water.  ---Oh wait, Conan the Barbarian IS a remake of the 1982 movie of the same title! No wonder I find the story familiar. *sigh*

 

Overall, the movie is great from the start 'til end and I'm expecting a sequel to this movie. Also, whoa, Jason Momoa is Hot! He looks like Chris Hemsworth a little. Marique was really creepy, she's like...creepy! Like a hardcore metal vocalist Hahaha.

Your Highness (2011)

Your Highness by David Gordon Green is a Fantasy movie set on a medieval time where a Lazy Prince Thadeous embarks on his first journey to save his brother's Maiden.

Gosh, I didn't expect this movie will be this something, its not cheesy, not boring and best of all it is original; it has its own story, own characters etc. I liked this movie yes. The vulgarity of words made me laugh and the characters suit then really good, like James Franco as Fabious, a handsome, most-admired prince, and his' princely actions really suit his role very well and also Thadeous which is the exact opposite of Fabious is really hilarious.

Bottom line, is is indeed a magnificent movie and (I think) the rating on IMDB doesn't justify the movie fit. This movie is great and a really worth a watch, its entertaining, really funny and it's medieval! 

It's Fun, bloody, bold and sexy!

Date Night (2010)

Date Night by Shawn Levy, so far, the Craziest Romantic, Comedy, Action, Drama, Romance movie I have ever seen

This movie has really a lot to offer you guys, the scenes come unexpected and you'll end up being surprised on the outcome, the movie is nice, the story is great and a Comedy movie with Tina Fey + Steve Carell = Fantastic. I simply just love the movie for its really funny, made me laugh a lot. the movie is all packed up even in the credits you will not stop laughing. Actually I kind of like the credits too, weird. 

The movie and story itself is just crumpled and mixed with nonsense which turns out to be a really funny yet sensible movie? Funny thinking of it, that they only wanted a simple night out date at the city which turns out to be a really whacked and crazy night and giving their life at stake, just, whoa.

Tina Fey is such a wonderful actress, and Steve too. I can't help to notice but did you too thought that Tina Fey was imitating Lois Griffin form The Family Guy at the credits?

30 Minutes or Less (2011)

30 Minutes or Less by Ruben Fleischer is an action comedy starring Jesse Eisenberg. Totally, my expectation on this movie was like whoa! Skyrocket, well because of The Social Network  and Zombieland. Truly the movie was indeed fascinating, funny and well great but not too great; just right.

Over all, the movie was nice, with some dull part and wrong selection of sound tracks especially the entrance of film and on the run part. Its not boring, just dull and with a little tweak overall, the movie is fine. I really liked Jesse Eisenberg's movies but this one kind of makes me sad to rate. Anyhow, the movie is watchable just don't expect something big.

Limitless (2011)

Limitless by Neil Burger, at first I thought was a movie of people with Superpowers but I guess I as wrong. This movie, the moment it started and for the first 10 minutes everything was boring. I'd best say that this movie was unfulfilling, crappy and dull. The way the movie is being narrated is dull, and I was lucky Ihave abreado nmy hand to eat out or else I would have walked out of the theathre.

Bottom line, the movie is a about people who use Drugs to get things done, a pill that enhances brain activity at 100% capacity; well that is nifty! No biggie here but for me, the movie supposedly be better and all hyped up if they only made the narration more lively and exciting.. As i perceived, I really liked the story, a brain pill? How I wished that they could've expand and made the narration much better no?

Honestly, I kind of want to have those pills for myself, think of the possibilities huh?

Babylon AD (2008)

For what I have understand in this movie, Babylon AD by Matheiu Kassovitz based on Maurice G. Dantec's novel Babylon Babies is that Toorop and Aurora are the 2nd Generation Mary and Joseph! Miraculous!

Set in a Post-Apocalyptic world in near future Babylon AD, Toorop accepts an escort mission, to make sure Aurora safely travels to New York only knowing that the girl she's about to deliver is the home of a genetically modified Messiah.

I found this movie quite interesting, at first I really enjoyed the Futuristic touch and imagine they already have an iMap and iPhone is not yet even in public that time! Cool! Also I like the automated apartment, also the fight scene, unfortunately it is supposed to look good but due to the poor cameramanship (I don't know whats the wording for it hehe) the whole fighting was for naught.

Overall, it was nice, a bit confusing at first but it was worth it. Not bad at all.

Priest (2011)

Priest by Scott Charles Stewart is a post-apocalyptic vampire movie taken where the Church rules and its laws are absolute. Damn I really hate movies with such theme and that's why I love watching them.

For me, the movie is a not so really good. Everything seemed to happen so much and I totally disliked the story. Also what about these hideous creatures with no eyes? Vampires too? Also what about this Hicks guy do? If I know better I would thing that this guy is just an extra, he barely do anything that reflects the story! Except of course for the big kiss at the ending but that doesn't makes any sense! Also added to my expectation tot his movie, I was like expecting that the Priest would destroy the church but it didn't happen.

Overall, not really worth a watch, I don't even care if this is in 3D for the only 3D scene I saw was the cross shuriken being tossed again and again. Also, I was expecting more of action scenes,blood baths and such but this, its more like having to watch movie full of talking. At the end, I was left crippled, bored, disappointed and hungry for more; and trust me, I've seen some other vampire movies and they aren't dull like this one.

I Am Number Four (2011)

I Am Number Four directed by D.J. Caruso is a kind of movie I've always liked. Like the Movies Push and Jumper, this one has a vivid Story line too. Actually, there is no doubt that this movie will go away in the screen very shortly, a sequel is highly expected; I mean who wouldn't enjoy such movie? (Being bias am I?)

I totally liked this movie, the special effects, fight scenes everything! Well what more can we ask from the director of Smallville himself huh? Superman HA!

Overall, (that's it?) Well, you see, I cannot elucidate to you clearly how rejoiced I am after the movie, as if its really refreshing you know that? the feeling of "Oohh, another nice movie"  Clearly, I amazed at everything, so 5 stars and by the way, I really DO wait for the sequel!

By the way, you see the girl on John's left? I thought she was the twilight girl. Hehe, funny stuff. She looks hot on the motorcycle though.

Daybreakers (2009)

Daybreakers  by Michael and Peter Spierig is an Action sci-fi movie about vampires. Well, about humans as well. You see, this movie is set on the near future i guess, where people are turned into Vampires to be immortal and such. The story is about saving human kind from extinction with the help of some humans of course and an ex vampire.

I like this movie, unlike any other vamp movies I've watched (and like those I'm not going to watch). This movie has a lot to offer you see, in such a short time the movie executed lots of scenes and never a dull moment occurred!

Overall the movie is nice, great, nice effects although not fond of watching vampire movies (I kinda more like Zombie movies though ^^) I really liked this one. Also another thing, I only didn't get how did the vampires returned to Human again? Was it because they drank an ex vampire blood? What about the burning experiments? What was it for then? And why did the vamps explodes when a wooden stick touches them...well I guess I gotta do some research then Haha.

Oh yeah, there are some scenes though that Ethan Hawke looks like Tom Cruise and yeah, 5 stars for this movie for it kept me 'til the end of the movie.

Jumper (2008)

"Let me tell you about my day so far. Coffee in Paris, surfed the Maldives, took a little nap on Kilimanjaro. Oh, yeah, I got digits from this Polish chick in Rio. And then I jumped back for the final quarter of the N.B.A. finals - courtside of course. And all that was before lunch. I could go on, but all I'm saying is, I'm standing on top of the world." 

From the director of the block buster movie The Bourne Identity and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Doug Liman came up with something new --The Jumper.

Jumper is a sci-fi themed movie about...well Jumpers, but not literally jumpers, Jumpers are kind of people who are able to teleport themselves anywhere whey want, whenever, however! Jumper movie is really really really great, especially when onto movies in this kind. People with superpowers or strange technology in the modern world, I think they're just pretty cool! 

Actually, the first thing I found out of this movie I was like, whoa this one's gonna be great, and yes! It is great! I just love how they did the special effects and the places, they really look authentic and real (---because its real?). I really enjoyed watching this one, for I have seen lots of places and its like jumping into different movies you know? Well you see, I've seen some movies that uses crappy blue screen tech and let me tell you this, its just crappy.

In comparison with this, I can say that Push (2009) and Jumper (2008) are slightly...closely related. Still, both movies are GREAT, big time! With all the Pushing and Jumping like that it just made me all hyped up. Never a dull moment in this fast paced movie yet informative and won't leave you hanging.

Bottom line, the movie is A-okay. Nice effects, nice story somewhat unsatisfying ending, I kinda feel bad for Jamie Bell, for he was left hanging on the near end in the movie...literally! How I wished though he survived (worry not, I think there will be a sequel HA!).

Thor (2011)

I've always been so enthralled whenever I hear that there is a movie featuring a magical world stuff genre and Chris Hemsworth as Thor is here to satisfy your Mythological hunger!

Thor 2011 directed by Kenneth Banagh and Joss Whedon is a truly magnificent film, and I tell you, if you ever had a chance to watch this I say DO IT! I mean it! This movie is so good it got me all hyped up to write this review and i don't even know where to start!

Thor features the journey of Thor himself traversing the world of we mortals live in, Earth; due to the actions of his "brother" he was exiled to the mortal world. Soon found himself left and abandoned on Earth he was not only bumped once but twice by Jane Foster, an astro-physicist who helped Thor get back into Asgard his home world. 

I've always loved this kind of stuff, especially because the special effects used are not too shabby, in fact, its truly magnificent and I can say its a job well done!

I will highly recommend this movie to my friends to watch this.

Superhero Movie (2008)

The Superhero Movie is really hilarious, from the start til end. In this movie, I didn't expect much so grand but hey, this movie is not too shabby compared to some parady movies created before this for I have a really good laugh from time to time; although I feel kinda missing something and how I wished there were more Superheroes featuerd in this movie...since the title is Superhero Movie.

Overall, Actually there is nothing more to review in this movie for I haven't rewied other movies in this genre, so I don't know if they're acting right or wrong but hey! The movie is Hilarious and bold. You will not grow bored watching this film. 

Comment, did Drake Bell shaved his eyebrows? Also I like the Leslie Nielsen, he's seriously funny. Thumbs up!   

I love these lines:

Chief of Police: The woman, Lucille Adams of East Empire City, was badly injured.

Reporter: How was she injured?

Chief of Police: Badly. 

War of the Worlds (2005)

War of the Worlds by Steven Spielberg is sure a fired up movie of the year, well at least that's how it goes. Well, the movie is nice to great. The story is unique I can hardly tell any movie with the same storyline (well Scary Movie 4 has the same plot as War of the World!).

The movie is about a family having a typical Sunday morning not lest they know that their typical Sunday morning will be like hiding and surviving hordes of alien invaders! Everything is nice and watchable but nothing too grand. Of course the movie didn't bore me much but some scenes are quite laggy but the climax did make it well so I'll let the criticism pass.

As I have seen the movie, well actually ti's not that I didn't like the movie it is just that I've watched the Parody movie first before the original so I kinda seen the movie at all as if I've watched this before but then again watching this makes real total difference.

As I carefully watched the movie *I think* there are some movie goofs or technicalities in this movie I'm not sure so I'll let you judge the movie itself so here's the shots:

First thing, this one is actually not a goof but rather ugh, you know, how could an earthquake being torn asunder in a half flawlessly I mean look, the church is like made from Papier mâché! No crumbling, no...its really like a paper being torn to me...its unrealistic  though.

 This one here I don't know, he's taking a video of the alien tripod where is i can tell you for I have heard directly from the citizens that "everything" stopped from functioning even a wrist watch that Ray have! (The car starts though for they managed to change some parts of the car but hey how about the video cam?)

Okay in this one is like magic. When Ray thew his peanut butter sandwich on the window look at the bread. Why is it sticking outside the window?

Bottom line , I'll give this 4 star. Its really a great movie! Nice to watch. Nice acting and nice settings. If you want an alien flick give this a try, you'll probably love this.

*Updated* I've found out that the bread scene with Ray was his reflection throwing the bread onto the camera. Sheez i really thought that the bread actually passed through the other side of the window ha-ha.

Repomen (2010)

Repomen directed by Miguel Sapochnik is a futuristic, sci-fi, action movie set on the near future where people uses artificial body parts or "artiforgs." The story circles on a story of Remy who used to be a Repomen now have his heart transplanted with an artiforg now finds himself being hunted by other Repomen for not paying is outstanding bill and will stop at nothing to "claim" back his heart.

This movie is awesome, lots of blood and the action scene was just spectacular. Although there are some scenes that are inappropriate to children this movie sure kicks some ass. I sure love the blood and gore in this movie its just..wow.

Bottom line, the movie is great no doubt. Again I've searched for Wikipedia for the director and I'm surprised I found nothing but hey that doesn't mean that this movie isn't good and in fact I've watched it and now giving it a blog and know what its just awesome. Genius, rather for the plot I mean. In a futuristic Earth where people no longer wait for someone else to die to get their organs but rather use an biological-mechanic organ instead; I've never seen this kind of plot before so I'm pretty impressed. I tell you, this movie will not disappoint you. Come to think of it, I only knew that Jude Law's name in this movie was Remy when I searched IMDB, well maybe his name wasn't really said a lot of times in the movie though.
