Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters (2013)

Today I'll be reviewing the movie Sea of Monsters directed by Thor Freudenthal.

If you've watched the first title, The Lightning Thief and thought t'was beautiful and great, well then you're right; but if you think the sequel will be the same as the first or even surpass it, you have it all wrong.

Unfortunately unlike the first, the hype for this "mythological stuffs" have disappeared somewhere, and speaking of mythological stuffs, there are only few creatures seen in the entire movie, the manticore like hybrid, the big ass sea monster, the  Khalkotauroi and the Cyclops and of course the Titan Kronus but hey, what about the action scenes? All I can say is that the son of Poseidon, Percy didn't utilize his power that much, no water bending stuffs and the swordplay is so cheesy, I didn't even caught up in the movie and come to think I like this kind of stuffs! Greek stuffs! But sad to say this one totally disappointed me.

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.

After Earth (2013)

Today is "After Earth" day but first let's take a sip of coffee from Bo's Coffee

7:45pm. We've watched After Earth by M. Night Shyamalan, from the director of my favorite movie 3 Idiots starring Will Smith and Jaden Smith.

Mmmmeah.
That's what I can say about the movie, but well, my score for this will be 3 stars, maybe because Man of Steel was so good, I was expecting my next movie to be watched to be equal (or much better) to it.

But then again, I have to say, the graphics were somewhat convincing but the sky dive and the falls part blew it all away.

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!

Monte Carlo (2011)

Monte Carlo, as the title says, the movie took place there. I totally love the movie, not only because Selena was the main character but also because I totally love the the environment, the place, the ambiance, the spirit, its so authentic, so great. Monte Carlo made me giggle most of the time I just don't know why. Everything was great, well polished, AWESOME!

"Superb, funny, exciting, overall I just have to say the this one is the BEST Chick flick movie I've seen."

Bottom line, the movie is I don't want to repeat my self but here it is, the movie great, and if you like chick flicks, you'll totally enjoy this movie like I do. And after watching this movie, I thought of hmmm, what If I go to Monte Carlo too? And maybe find a spoiled heir that looks like me too! HAHA! Okay dream on. Also, for some reason, this movie reminds me Mr. Bean's Holiday, funny for there are resemblances.

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. 

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.

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.
