Review Of : RANGO

Bookmark and Share

I've just watched "RANGO".

Directed by Gore Verbinski.

The storyline goes by a pet lizard who have accidentally wind up in the old town of "Dirt". He then discovers that the town is in need of a sheriff & he took on that job. And this gave hope to the town folks. He later realize he is on an adventure of a lifetime and to be finding out who he really is inside.  




The movie in my opinion is rather good.Quite funny at times


But, its not your typical animated cartoon, just to inform you. ( The movie is 2 hours long & might be much more suitable for older kids ) 


But, their animation are really realistic & detailed on the characters. 


Simple storyline. Interesting but a little draggy plot. 
All in all, its a good movie, worth a watch. :)



My Rating?

Plot : 3.75/5
Storyline : 3.75/5
Animation* : 5/5 
Music** : 4/5
OVERALL : 8/10.

Review Of : WORLD INVASION : BATTLE LOS ANGELES

Bookmark and Share


I have just watched " WORLD INVASION : BATTLE LOS ANGELES "

The film is directed by Jonathan Liebesman 

The storyline : For years, there have been documented cases of UFO sightings around the world - Buenos Aires, Seoul, France, Germany, China. But in 2011, what were once just sightings will become a terrifying reality when Earth is attacked by unknown forces. As people everywhere watch the world's great cities fall, Los Angeles becomes the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected. It's up to a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon to draw a line in the sand as they take on an enemy unlike any they've ever encountered before.



A simple alien-invasion storyline but quite suspense plot.

Some scenes is the film looks like it's from the movie 2012. ;P 

The movie is sort of a combat movie. So, if you like that kind of movies..this might be good. 
The movie revolves around a Marine staff Sergent his his platoon protecting the survivals and defending themselves against the alien threats in L.A. 

In my opinion, I feel like the film is lacking something..It could've been better though. 
But, if you want to watch, go ahead.  :) 

My Rating?

Plot : 4/5
Storyline : 3.25/5
Graphics** : 4/5 
Score** : 3.75/5
OVERALL : 7.5/10.

Review Of : Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa

Bookmark and Share

I had just watched the local film " Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa " or "Malay Chronicles : Bloodlines " in English. 

Directed by Yusry Abdul Halim of KRU.
This local film has been sold to 72 countries around the globe.



The storyline of this film goes by Merong Mahawangsa was a descendant of Alexander the Great, a renowned naval captain and traveler who came to Asia several hundred years ago. A time when the Roman Empire is at the height of its power, during the reign of Hadrian – one of the Five Good Emperors. Meanwhile in China, the Han Dynasty is firmly cemented as the ruling empire and is expanding into Central Asia… one hundred years before the period of the Three Kingdoms. As the Roman fleet did their repairs and traded in Goa, they asked Merong Mahawangsa to escort a Roman prince to Southeast Asia, to wed a beautiful Chinese princess from the Han Dynasty. The Chinese princess and the Roman prince are supposed to meet halfway and be married on neutral grounds. However, the pirate nation of Geruda had other plans. They decided to kidnap the Chinese princess and use her as ransom. En route to the Straits of Melaka, Merong Mahawangsa’s fleet was attacked by Geruda’s forces while stopping at a small island to replenish supplies.Will Merong Mahawangsa be able to rescue the Princess and re-unite her with her betrothed in a marriage that is set to bring together two great civilizations from the East and West ?


In my opinion, this film is considered quite good for a local Malaysian film. :)

The movie's score is very good.
But, they quite overused their graphics though. 
The storyline & plot is quite interesting.

A good film for a budget of RM 8 million. If you would like to support the Malaysian film industry, go watch this. :)

My Rating?

Plot : 3.75/5
Storyline : 4/5
Score* : 4/5 
Graphics** : 3/5
OVERALL : 7.75/10. ( 9/10 for a Malaysian film scale )

The synopsis goes by a boy named Milo. Milo is just beginning summer but his mother gives him chores and tasks like weeding the garden or eating his vegetables. But after Milo tints his sister's face purple, his mother sees no humor in this. She orders him up to his room. After an argument with his mother in which Milo says "I don't see what's so special about mothers!", Milo goes to his room. After falling asleep, Milo does not hear the rumble of the rocket landing outside. After, Martians enter Milo's house and take away his mother, Milo realizes that he has to rescue her.
