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.

The Secret (2007)

Firstly, when I checked the movie at IMDB. I was intrigued by the Genre “Fantasy” for what I’ve watched this was just your typical Love Story movie so what gives? Let me start from the beginning. This movie The Secret, Original Story by Jay Chou is Chinese Classical Music themed movie with a Twist! That’ right, twist. And after watching the whole movie, I was like: " ... "

The Movie is indeed a marvel (to me) for I am a fan of Classical music. Jay Chou, the director of the movie and the main cast is indeed really talented to come up with such plot. Even though the entrance of the movie was like...not that appealing much. As the movie progresses I kind of get a hang of it. Some cheesy scenes with face poking, hugging and staring in the eyes really get into me.

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!

The Tempest (2010)

The Tempest by Julie Taymor is said to be listed in a comedy drama genre by IMDB but I think I have to disagree (a bit) in it. The Tempest is originally an epic play of William Shakespeare translated rendered by Julie Taymor from pages to the big screen. So far, I've enjoyed the movie, thanks to the subtitles I've found on the Internet, watching this movie  was a no hassle.

I have never been a reader of Shakespeare's work nor known that this was his' work until I browsed IMDB for details. My first thought before watching this movie was like harry Potter epic movie in which later I only find weird people talking Shakespearean Language all over the movie which is not good for me BUT, on the contrary, I find this movie real good although hard to comprehend because I haven't read to original piece and to tell you that the story is somewhat changed so I can't really tell you the difference.

Overall, although the story is a bit confusing and boring at first, the movie is watchable, nice and well...uuh how am i gonna say this, well said?

I don't know but I kind of like this movie for its cool way to say words and maybe that's how this movie get its 'Comedy' genre huh?

Sucker Punch (2011)

First of all I thought this was a magical movie like Harry Potter and I thought it would be like epic, but then Sucker Punch did totally what I have in mind. This movie is confusing, a lot of "skips" I don't know if its just me but you know the movie itself is confusing but slightly entertaining. Gotta admit the the special effects, the fight scenes and the environment really suits the theme of the movie and by the way, I watched this film with no background knowledge so yeah, that's a plus factor to my confusion.

This movie is nice, but the introduction part is rather really confusing, a bit dull. What even more puzzled me is the dance. What is this movie about anyway? About crazy people creating virtual reality in their head? What is so special about Baby Doll's dance that makes the audience in trance? Also,  the ending really confuses me, who is this "Wise man?" What is the place Baby Doll were into, a Mental institution or a Club? Why are they dancing? Why the place looks clubbish?

Overall, the movie was fine until the all my queries began to arise and left unanswered anyway, 4 stars for the whole special effects and awesome fighting scenes, you know as if I'm watching Tekken here the only catch is that they have no super punches like Jin and Kazuya.

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.

Uninhabited (2010)

The Uninhabited directed by Bill Bennett is a Mysterious Thriller movie that sets on a remote island zeroing on a couple who had a trip onto the island. The movie is low on characters so each of them is noticeable.

Actually there is nothing too "shiny" in this movie except for the cute couple though, I think Harry is cute but anyway the Beach is great too 'ya know! I also liked the creepy ambiance in the film but the downfall of this is that the movie is rather unrealistic, more like fictional I mean, ghost killing people?

The movie at first confuses me, The first thing the creepy sound took place I was thinking of zombies...next Wrong turn creatures; the last thing I though was ghost. 

Oh kay, I couldn't find any links that will forward you to the casts not even the director on wikipedia; I guess they're not that popular though.

Bottom line, the movie is watchable with some redundant public display of affection (correction its not public, no one is there except them! duh). The movie is worth 3 star not 2 well I kinda like to give it 2 but I just remembered the movie I gave 2 which is WHOA major disaster I never even bothered to blog it! But then again considering the nice place and creepy sounds I'll give them 3 stars.

Coral made her appearance in front of Harry

Harry being satisfied by Coral

One thing that left me crippled from the movie is that what happened to Beth? i though she was dead why is she still walking? And what happened to Coral? Is she a ghost or what? Did Coral gave Harry a blow job on this scene?

Because I can see that he is being satisfied on that scene or was just because of his acting?  I mean if you watch this scene I'll tell you you'll have the blow thing coming in your head first!

One more thing, I really love his British accent. I really do I sounds...nice.

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.

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.
