<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Synopsis: </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the near future Earth has been devastated by drought and famine, causing a scarcity in food and extreme changes in climate. When humanity is facing extinction, a mysterious rip in the space-time continuum is discovered, giving mankind the opportunity to widen their lifespan. A group of explorers must travel beyond our solar system in search of a planet that can sustain life. The crew of the Endurance are required to think bigger and go further than any human in history as they embark on an interstellar voyage, into the unknown. However, through the wormhole, one hour is the equivalent of seven years back on Earth, so the mission won't work if the people on Earth are dead by the time they pull it off. And Coop, the pilot of the Endurance, must decide between seeing his children again and the future of the human race.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interstellar is one of the most mind-bending Christopher Nolan film I've ever watched hahah. You might not be able to comprehend what is actually going on a third into the film, but once you let the film sink into your mind, it is actually a really thought-provoking. It revolves around the themes of human selfishness, love, faith & fragility of life. In my opinion, I think there are much subtext and symbolism inserted throughout the film (typical of Chris Nolan :b) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was quite draggy at the beginning towards the middle though, but I think it was meant to make us feel the slow exploration & desolation of space travel, hence putting us in the characters' shoes. Although rather different from “Gravity”. I like how the film focuses on relativity of time-space, giving a little more conflict and suspense as it shows character conflict in space and also in the meantime characters on Earth, increasing the tension, especially at the climax of the film. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although did not watch it in IMAX (noo... :/ ), but there are still some visual spectacle in the film which really pushes the barrier of CGI. The music & score by Hans Zimmer is as usual awesome yet subtle throughout the film, as there are scenes in the film that utilises the absence of sound as it is in space.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can see many people came out of the cinema halls, looking bewildered, confused, mindblown, and also checking their watches. Most probably checking the time (due to the long duration of the film) and maybe checking the date and year hahaha. :b </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the near future, US has almost zero rate of crime, this is due to the fact that every year, for one night, all crime are legal, including murder. This is called "The Purge". Those who wish to purge, goes on the streets to do it, the rest hide in their homes. A young couple, a mother & daughter and a man band together unexpectedly to survive the night. But, things get a little odd when not just the civilians are out purging but when they realised that the government are using The Purge as population control and a major conspiracy.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: red;">“The Purge: Anarchy”</span> was unexpectedly better than the first film</b>. This sequel focuses more on the society & the sick minds of the people who believe in The Purge and has a better non-linear plot & better character development rather than a linear plot & mindless "running here & there" in the previous film. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The story intertwines with different characters' lives and it shows the glimpses of the different social classes such as the middle class, the rich and so on towards The Purge event. It does remind me of a similar concept from films such as Hunger Games & Snowpiercer; social hierarchies in which the poor suffers, the middle class pals along, the rich ignorantly loath in luxuries and the conspiracy of the authorities total control. <b>Although the story was quite expectable as you carry on, the pacing really keep you to the edge of your seat. </b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although the title was “The Purge: Anarchy”, but the film focuses on the society and only in the end it reveals the rise of anarchy. Maybe they should change the title hahah. Nevertheless, <b>bloodshed is seen throughout the film.</b> At least, you <b>don't need to watch the first film to understand this one.</b> Well, I'm expecting the next installment to be better, with the Resistance's intervention and more social conflict.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>TRANSFORMERS : AGE OF EXTINCTION was visually epic, especially in IMAX 3D!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The best Transformers film so far, since the first Transformers film. </b></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And you don't really need to follow so closely to the previous films to understand this one, just a gist of them should be fine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Despite the film runs for a long 2 hours 45 minutes, and with the story and plot aside for now, it was really indeed an eye candy with stunning shots, cool cars and epic action sequences.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In my opinion, if you're planning to watch this movie, don't settle for less, just save up and watch it in IMAX 3D, it'll be worth every cent! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Story-wise, well</b>, it is an action film with fighting robots, so in my opinion, it is like the second and third instalment, <b>so don't expect much difference from the kind of storyline with "human-wants-Transformers-out-humans-are-selfish-greedy-people-then-something-happen-which-leads-to-Decepticons-intervention-and-new-Autobots-intervention-bang-bang-boom-pew-pew-pew"</b>. Yeah. But like I said, just watch it and enjoy the film, I mean c'mon, it's a TRANSFORMERS movie! :D </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Plot, was alright</b>, with <b>some good expositions and epic Transformers action</b>, although the film feels like it was two films in one. Maybe because it was rather a long runtime and <b>certain parts feel unnecessary and could've better paced and edited</b>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I<b> think this film is better than the previous two because there were less characters in it, so it is easier to focus and understand who is who and what's happening </b>than trying in Revenge of The Fallen and Dark of The Moon which featured quite a number of characters. Or maybe this fourth instalment was just much longer, which leaves more time for the audience to digest. Also, I think it's a little odd seeing Mark Wahlberg playing the character as a father, hmm. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">V<b>isually, I cannot express how epic it was</b>. I mean, it is a Michael Bay film, story aside, you can be sure it will not be visually disappointing in my opinion. <b>From the graphics, the cinematography and action scenes, utterly epic</b> in <b><span style="color: cyan;">IMAX 3D!</span></b> (I'm not sponsored to say this, but you should really watch in in IMAX!) Oh, and instead of the typical mass destruction of New York and Chicago kind, this film has some major scenes in China. So yeah, a little different! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>All in all, TRANSFORMERS : AGE OF EXTINCTION is a really visually epic film. (I think I used the word 'epic' many times, hahah :P) So, if you loved the first Transformers film, but was quite disappointed by the two sequels, I don't think this fourth one would be disappoint, because it didn't disappoint me. So yeah, if you're planning on watching it, especially to enjoy the visuals, go IMAX. </b></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The X-Men send Wolverine to the past from a time in the future in which the world is coming to an end due to the presence of Sentinels.

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>First of, I'd like to say that X-Men: Days of Future Past is one cool X-Men movie, in terms of plot and visuals. </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh, and a heads up, <b>you might want to watch "X-Men: First Class" if you haven't watched it</b> yet, because if you haven't you might be a little confused on who is who. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But if you're a die-hard X-Men fan or you have watched the previous X-Men movies, then good for you! Although this movie involves time-travelling, but it isn't as confusing as I expected, because the plot was told in a linear form so easier understanding. Also, for some <b>X-Men fans you might spot some plot-holes in the film especially if you've watched "The Wolverine" and "First Class", but still, it's an awesome X-Men movie, so I can forgive that</b>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With that aside, let's get on to the review! :D </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The story is<b> rather interesting and not as confusing as I thought it would be</b>. With the intervention of Sentinels and political issues, the story gives the film a rather serious and realistic tone which <b>revolves around themes such as equality, acceptance and faith</b>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plot-wise is really good, with the <b>ratio of action to story evened out</b>. Although as I said earlier, there are <b>some plot holes in this film with relation to the previous X-Men movies</b>. But with that said again, the <b>flow of the story is really engaging and driven</b>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There were <b>quite a number of new X-Men characters introduced and some from the previous films who've made a come back but I was a little disappointed when some of the X-Men characters were not given enough screen-time action or even dialogue</b>, but oh well. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Visually, really cool! </b>Enough said. Hahaha. Well, the showcase of the character's abilities and the power of the Sentinels are really good, and some are spectacularly memorably cool (I shall not disclose for it may be spoilers!) It's interesting how the story takes place simultaneously in a dark, dystopian future and contrasting it with the "colourful" 70s. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All in all, Bryan Singer did a fabulous job with this film, although some questions still linger in my mind, but maybe hopefully they'll be answered in the next X-Men installment; "X-Men: Apocalypse" set to be out in 2016. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>In a nutshell, I'd say "X-Men: Days of Future Past" is a cool X-Men film for fans of the film and fans of X-Men alike! And I have a feeling that there'll be a whole new story set out for future X-Men films. </b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Three scientists - Max and the husband and wife team, Will and Evelyn - have been developing a programming code for the world's first fully self-aware computer. When a group of anti-technology terrorists assassinate Will, Evelyn uploads his brain into a prototype supercomputer. Although she at first finds the experiment seems to have gone wrong, before too long Evelyn finds Will responding in computer form. She goes on to connect Will to the Internet so he can help make further scientific breakthroughs. Will asks Evelyn to connect a microphone and a camera up to the computer so he can see and speak to her as well. When the anti-technology organisation finds out, they try to steal the supercomputer and destroy it, but Will no longer needs the computer to survive.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even though the main idea of the film has been used by many sci-fi films, but the execution and story that revolves around the idea is mind-blowing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The film revolves around the near-future where A.I is going into it's advancement, but instead of some typical epic sci-fi "bang bang boom" film, I feel that Transcendence made the story more believable as it shows the social effect of the A.I technology and the effects of the Internet. (I shall refrain from any spoilers haha)</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like I mentioned, I'm really <b>amazed with the overall screenplay and story of the film</b>, well thought out and written. The concept is simple yet powerful. Reminds me of "TRON", "Inception", and "The Matrix". Although I have not watched "Her" yet what the idea is quite similar too. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <b>plot </b>was really <b>engaging</b>, to a certain point it made me think that this story could be possible in the near future. I like how they made this movie quite realistic. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <b>acting was good</b>, although I <b>expected more screen time from certain actors</b>. Also, I feel that Morgan Freeman's character was underused hahah. :P </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Visuals was amazing</b>, the graphics and all. Also, the director of this film, Wally Pfister was actually the Director of Photography in the film "Inception", that explains some cool visuals similar to "Inception". </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've just watched </span><span style="color: cyan; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>"CAPTAIN AMERICA : THE WINTER SOLDIER"</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and I have got to say that this sequel is much more intense and interesting.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Starring: </b></span>Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Cobie Smulders, Samuel L. Jackson</span></div>

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Synopsis:</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second instalment of "Captain America", "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" picks up where "Marvel's The Avengers" leaves off, as Steve Rogers continues his affiliation with Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. and struggles to embrace his role in the modern world. Chris Evans will reprise his role as the titular Captain America while Anthony Mackie will star as the Falcon. Fans of the comic book series will know that Steve Rogers' best friend, James "Bucky" Barnes (Sebastian Stan) will rise to become the eponymous Winter Soldier.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Better than its predecessor. Intense plot. Great acting. </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Captain America : The Winter Soldier has a rather interesting story. I love how they made this sequel inter-related to the previous Captain America and also some references to The Avengers. This film really pushed Captain America and also touches on S.H.I.E.L.D's conspiracies. My advice, if you've forgotten at least the brief story of Captain America : The First Avenger, you should consider watching it again, although in this sequel they do bring back some idea of the previous. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I said, the <b>story</b> is<b> interesting </b>as it makes this film relate to its predecessor.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The<b> plot</b> is rather<b> intense</b>, both in action and emotional aspects. Although, since it's a Marvel superhero movie, you'd guess some of the minor "plot twists" this film really brings the deep past of Captain America & S.H.I.E.L.D. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The story isn't too dark/deep like The Dark Knight but it's believable enough.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Acting </b>was really <b>good</b>, with fair amount of screen time for each of the main cast. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The<b> visuals </b>was really<b> good</b>, <b>nothing too flashy or too mundane</b>, maybe they were taking it more realistic and it was good. Although some scenes looked incredibly epic in IMAX. (Well, actually almost everything looks epic in IMAX hahah :P)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Uncle Chuan is an old-fashioned and conservative man staying alone in Cameron Highlands leading a lonely retired life. His only hope is to reunite with his only daughter Ah Bee who will be returning from overseas after graduation and stay together as a traditional family. Finally Ah Bee came back after graduation but she brought back her foreign boyfriend Benji with her and they planned to get married. Uncle Chuan vigorously opposed to the marriage due to Ben’s frivolous behaviour but he failed to change his daughter’s mind. At the end, Uncle Chuan agreed to their marriage reluctantly, with a condition to be fulfilled- their wedding ceremony must be a Chinese ceremony. According to the Chinese culture, son-in-law Benji is obliged to deliver the wedding invitations together with the father-in-law. To realise a promise of young age, Uncle Chuan decided to invite all his 11 ex-primary classmates that are now located all over Malaysia to attend the daughter’s wedding. He has planned a route map to visit all these ex-classmates in order to hand them the invitation card in person. Benji has agreed with the task but insisted to travel in his motorcycle. Without much choice, the journey of a long distance road travel of Uncle Chuan accompanied by Benji kicked started unwillingly.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>By far, the best local film I've watched! </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was initially shocked that this film beaten "Robocop" in the local box office but then again, it was indeed a really good film. The Journey is an amazing story that is more than your average typical CNY movie. It has a funny yet touching story accompanied with breathtaking visuals. Although I've not watched Chiu's previous films like "Great Day", I'm sure if you've watched (which by now, you should) The Journey, you'll agree that this is one of the few local films which I'd say "has standard" and really make us proud. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The<b> story is simple but funny yet meaningful</b> that revolves around the themes of culture, unity, love & family values. Although the themes were not firmly conveyed, but you can feel the connection (especially if you're a local Malaysian) through the various culture explored in the film. I like how Chiu & his screenwriter used the point of view of a British guy to explore the story.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <b>plot is well thought out, </b>which gives each character enough screen-time and <b>enough depth in their character in a realistic way by exploring conflicts, history and etc</b>. Despite that some scenes in my opinion feels a little rushed into, but overall a job well done!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <b>acting was good</b>, <b>especially coming from a new batch of actors</b>. The characters as I said, was well thought of, from their school history, how they connect to one another and how it affect one another. This kind of story with depth is what really caught my attention, because it is kind of uncommon in some local films.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The<b> visuals, was breathtaking </b>(only if it's in IMAX hahhaha:P ) The<b> cinematography and production design</b> of the movie was well taken care of. Many scenes just look like it's taken for a postcard or a photograph. The cinematography <b>really shows the beauty of Malaysia's diversity from the geographical aspect to the cultural. </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I've just watched "<span style="color: red;">THE LEGO MOVIE</span>" yesterday! :D </b></span></div>
<b><span style="color: yellow;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">Directed By</span></b> Phil Lord, Chris Miller, Chris McKay</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: orange;">Starring</span></b> Chris Pratt, Will Arnett, Channing Tatum, Elizabeth Banks, Morgan Freeman, Alison Brie, Will Ferrell</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Synopsis:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The LEGO® Movie,” the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures, opens in theaters beginning February 7, 2014. Directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller (“21 Jump Street,” “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”), it stars Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie and Charlie Day, with Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman. The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>An interesting, weird and yet unique animated film.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because of Lego having the license to make toys based on famous people and famous movies, this gives the advantage of making the movie a creative and <b>hilarious twist</b> because of the various characters in the film based of other notable films such as Batman, Superman, Gandalf, characters from Star Wars and etc. Therefore this film is somewhat like "Epic Movie" or "Scary Movie" but with a Lego twist to it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although you <b>shouldn't expect a Disney animated feel kind of animated film</b>, but son't get me wrong, "The Lego Movie" is a <b>fun, unique animated film and brings the wonder of CGI with stop-motion animation.</b></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The storyline<b> at first was rather cliché</b> as a typical you-are-the-chosen-one-and-you-must-save-the-world kind of story, but with that aside, <b>there's a weird twist at the end that may get your attention.</b> (no spoilers here hahah :P)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <b>plot contains numerous funny puns in the movie and also parody of other notable movie characters that will leave you laughing</b>. I really admire the people you did the stop-motion animation for the film. It is really amazing, as I've watched many Lego stop-motion videos online, but a full-feature movie...got a salute from me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <b>characters are really interesting to watch</b> especially Good Cop/Bad Cop voiced by Liam Neeson, Vitruvius (Initially I mistaken him as Gandalf hahah) voiced by Morgan Freeman, Batman voiced by Will Arnett and many other characters. They did a wonderful job on creating the characters and the screenplay that gives the characters funny moments that's worth laughing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Amazing work</b> to the team behind the movie as they literally made a whole Lego world and animating it brick-by-brick.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>All in all, "The Lego Movie" is an interesting and unique movie that's worth a watch. Maybe in 3D too! :P But, like I said, don't expect a Disney feel to this movie. "The Lego Movie" is a hilarious animated movie and if you love Lego & stop motion or just want to watch a cool animated film, look no further. (: </b></span></div>

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Synopsis:</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Set in Singapore, Ilo Ilo chronicles the relationship between the Lim family and their newly arrived maid, Teresa. Like many other Filipino women, she has come to this city in search of a better life. Her presence in the family worsens their already strained relationship. Jiale, the young and troublesome son, starts to form a unique bond with Teresa, who soon becomes an unspoken part of the family. This is 1997 and the Asian Financial Crisis is beginning to be felt in the region</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A "down-to-earth" story that really shows the hardships of a Singaporean family during the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anthony Chen took a serious and realistic way of diving into the life of Singaporean families during the crisis through the eyes of a Pilipino maid and also giving a serious tone to the film but also adding a tinge of some comedic moments in the film. But I was expecting a bit more from the movie as the ending was quite abrupt, in my opinion.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The story was in a way "genuine" as I said, it dives quite deeply into the family's life and habits, without missing on the small details. The story flow quite well and it was rather relatable to most families in different societies, especially during hardships.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The plot was good, although I expected much more due to the rather abrupt ending. But that can be forgiven considering the genre and theme this movie was going for. Many scenes were well written to show each and every character's troubles and conflict, but still I felt that those scenes could've escalated to something more hmm.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Acting was great. The actors portrayed the characters really good and realistic. For some moments, it really felt like a documentary of the family's real life. Fyi, Yeo Yann Yann was really pregnant in the movie. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The cinematography was good, simple and not too flashy. The tone of the film make it really seem like a film made in the 90s. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>In a nutshell, "ILO ILO" is a genuine, realistic movie which touches on many family and individual values. If you enjoy those real-life stories about people and society, or enjoy "International screens/Foreign films", you should give this a go. </b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow;">Directed By </span>Ken Scott</span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Synopsis:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From DreamWorks Pictures comes “Delivery Man”, the story of affable underachiever David Wozniak, whose mundane life is turned upside down when he finds out that he fathered 533 children through sperm donations he made twenty years earlier. In debt to the mob, rejected by his pregnant girlfriend, things couldn’t look worse for David when he is hit with a lawsuit from 142 of the 533 twenty-somethings who want to know the identity of the donor. As David struggles to decide whether or not he should reveal his true identity, he embarks on a journey that leads him to discover not only his true self but the father he could become as well.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A hilarious and somewhat bizarre/unique movie. :P</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The already bizarre storyline makes this comedy film stand out from some other movies of similar genre. The movie is not some slap-stick comedy but it have a rather good story & message in dealing with choices and responsibility, although not delivered strongly but the message is there, and hey, it's a comedy, just go in and laugh your hearts out! :P </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For a comedy, a somewhat interesting undertaking in terms of story-line. To think of such a scenario for a character to undergo, is just interesting to watch. Something different I'd say. (:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The plot is filled with a fair amount of laughters for audiences' enjoyment! Both slapstick and funny scenes. It's a comedy film, so don't expect such a solid and strong plot though hahah.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vince Vaughn, a great comedy actor, most of his comedy films he starred in are real "laugh-out-loud"sI remembered "The Internship" was hilarious! And "Delivery Man" will not disappoint.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>There's no use going all technical for movies this genre I think. As comedy goes about, "Delivery Man" is one of those rather good comedy film to start off the year! </b>(Unless, you prefer CNY movies hahaha :P) </span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A friend of mine decided to guest blog at my blog by reviewing on the movie "Police Story 2013". I have yet to watch this movie yet though hmm. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; min-height: 18px;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: orange;">Directed by : </span><span style="color: white;">Ding Sheng</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-size: 16px; min-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow;">Starring : </span><span style="color: white;">Jackie Chan, Liu Ye, Jing Tian</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; min-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<i><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I saw Jackie Chan on the movie poster, I thought the movie was going to be a comedy movie mixed with a typical cop story. Instead, POLICE STORY 2013 is a serious movie on how a cop from mainland China, who goes to a bar looking for his daughter, gets caught in a plot to discover truths and seek revenge. The cop, Detective Zhong Wen (Jackie Chan), has to try and make amends with his daughter (Jing Tian) for not playing his role as a good father, negotiate his way out of life-threatening situations, while finding a way to subdue the mastermind (Liu Ye) and saving everyone. Not an easy task.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(P.S : Jackie Chan looks older in the movie)</span></span></i></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; min-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Compared to many other Jackie Chan movies, the amount of actions and stunts performed are significantly less and are more serious. However, the action starts at the early parts of the movie as Zhong Wen (Jackie Chan) spies on the criminal and the hostages.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; min-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Throughout the movie, Detective Zhong Wen also converses with Wu (the mastermind played by Liu Ye) to try and figure out his motives and plans. Flashbacks are inserted subtly at suitable moments to develop the plot and unveil the story line bit by bit. </i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; min-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Something I don't really like is the conflict between flashbacks and imaginations in the movie. Because there's no indicator whether it's a flashback or an imagination, it's hard to discern between them and left me a little confused at the end of it. Maybe the director was trying to build up more suspense but I think its just annoying. (You'll see what I mean if you watch the movie)</i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; min-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Nearing the end of the movie, the action dies down to highlight the story and the motive of the criminal. I like how the movie has a balance between action and plot development, instead of some movies which only focus on one particular aspect. </i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; min-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>In terms of the scenes and cinematography, I think they did a good job as most of the scenes were realistic and vivid. The background and setting was prepared really well and that's something I appreciate. The subplots also blended well with the big picture and although the emotions were different, I think they blend in just fine.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; min-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The ending wasn't the best but I guess it's alright. Something else I didn't really like was that the plot became a little predictable at the end, but I guess there really aren't many variations for a revenge story. </i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; min-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b>To sum it up, if you're looking for decent cop story with a little mystery, action and emotion, this is a suitable movie.</b></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Time-lapse photography is basically taking photos of a subtle moving object/scene and using all of those shots to make a video. Like a stop-motion video or a slideshow (in a way)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used my Nikon D3200 with an intervalomater (a gear attached to a camera that automatically take a certain amount of shots at a given interval through a given time-span) and mounted on a tripod.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ben Stiller pulled this movie off! The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty is well written and contains a rather simple yet strong message. It tells how sometimes we live mediocre lives but we tend to slip of into dreaming of the "what ifs", both realistic and unrealistic hahah. :P </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The minimalistic cinematography and creative editing makes the film really beautiful. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With a <b>rather simple story and concept</b>, Ben Stiller and the writers did a great job on adding humour into the film with funny scenes and some parodies hahaha, making it <b>memorable and funny. </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There really are <b>many quotable lines from the movie</b> like <i>"Beautiful things don't ask for attention."</i> and <i>"To see things thousands of miles away, things hidden behind walls & within rooms, things dangerous to come to, to draw closer, to see and be amazed.”</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although some of the character's traits may not be fully realistically played out in the movie, but hey, the message was well said through the film and each character was given fair screen time and they<b> delivered good acting. </b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are a number of scenes that is truly a picturesque moment that made me want to get out of my seats and go travel!<b> Visually breathtaking.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The movie's cinematography and story is made better with the <b>beautiful score by Jose Gonzales </b>especially the end credits;<b> "Stay Alive". </b>It reminds me of the OST from "We Bought A Zoo" and a little of Radical Face's songs. </span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Synopsis:</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Captain Phillips is director Paul Greengrass’s multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. It is—through Greengrass’s distinctive lens—simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization. The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama’s commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (two time Academy Award® winner Tom Hanks), and his Somali counterpart, Muse (Barkhad Abdi). Set on an incontrovertible collision course off the coast of Somalia, both men will find themselves paying the human toll for economic forces outside of their control. The film is directed by Academy Award nominee Paul Greengrass, from a screenplay by Billy Ray and based upon the book, A Captain’s Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea, by Richard Phillips with Stephan Talty. The film is produced by Scott Rudin, Dana Brunetti, and Michael De Luca.</span></div>

It's a well written and well shot film which really kept me holding my seat as the movie progresses, this movie in my opinion serves well as a thriller and also a documentary at the same time I'd say. The amazing acting from the actors really brought out emotional aspects from the story. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Truly a Disney magical, unique animated movie. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At first impression, it really does look like "Tangled" with a different setting, but I assure you, this movie still retains the uniqueness of Tangled with a good story, memorable characters, impressive visuals & basically a beautifully done animated movie. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The story is really simple yet intriguing. Disney did it once, again! </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A story of sibling love and conflict in life. Great story and great movie. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The beginning of the movie somehow reminded me of "Les Miserables" a little hahah. Yes, there are musical scenes and s</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ome funny scenes heh. :P</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plot was emotionally engaging for an animated film, accompanied with beautiful songs and amazing visuals, the story really engages the audience.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although the characters' physique very much resemble from previous Disney movies but nonetheless, their characters were voiced well and well scripted for this animated film.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Visually, amazing. The scenes of snow, snowflakes, mountainscapes & all are just beautiful. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: red;">P.S.</span> - Do remember to arrive on time as there'll be a short Disney animation right before the movie starts! (:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>In a nutshell, <span style="color: cyan;">"FROZEN"</span> is a good Disney animated film, especially when Christmad is just around the corner. I highly recommend to watch it at least once in <span style="color: cyan;">3D</span>. (:</b></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><b>Directed By </b></span>Alfonso Cuarón</span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Starring</b></span> Sandra Bullock, George Clooney</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Synopsis:</span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her
first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George
Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a
seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed,
leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone--tethered to nothing but
each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence
tells them they have lost any link to Earth, and any chance for rescue.
As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little
oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the
terrifying expanse of space.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First of all, I've to say that the movie is visually breathtaking. </span></b></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">From </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">the minute the film starts, audience would be lightheartedly awed by the view of Earth from space. Also, maybe a little "bewildered" by the silence of space for a few minutes. :P </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gravity is unique & "different" and since it revolves around these 2 characters; Dr. Ryan & Matt, it gives focus on the story at the same time balancing the amount of eye-candy for the viewers. If you enjoyed movies like "127 Hours", which focuses on a particular character's struggle & internal conflict in fighting to save one's own life, you'll find "Gravity" captivating.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The <b>overall story</b> of the movie is <b>simple</b> enough to understand yet just enough to engage the viewer's attention from the calmness & beauty of space and suddenly throwing the viewer into the catastrophic dangers of space. Although there <b>wasn't much exposition & introduction to the character's back story, but the story went fine. </b><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Plot-wise, </b>emotionally <b>engaging</b> as it had audience questioning on the character's survival. Yes, this is where the genre-wise <b>similarity as with "127 Hours"</b>. Although some may find the style of constant silence suddenly broken with a suspense scene, I find it interesting. In fact, the whole setting of the story taking place in space, is just unique. </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I also find it <b>rather different but interesting on how the movie let the audience immerse into the silence of space for most scenes. </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Acting-wise, good casts.</b> Although the lead male character was supposedly casted for Robert Downey Jr, lead to some questions on who would've been better. Hmm. But for me I'd say that Sandra Bullock did a<b> job well done but</b> I wished that they would've given George Clooney <b>more screen time & character built-up though. :/</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Visually captivating, </b>the view of earth from space is utterly amazing.<b> Breathtaking in <span style="color: yellow;">IMAX 3D</span>, I must say! </b>Also there were some first-person view of Dr. Ryan which some may like or some may dislike though. But still, the graphics & visual effects of the film deserves applause. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">All in all, <span style="color: cyan;">GRAVITY </span>is one unique movie which is definitely a must-watch if you're into character-driven story, amazing visuals or just want something different to watch from the mainstream market. If you're planning to watch this film, I highly recommend you to invest in an IMAX 3D ticket. You wouldn't regret. (: </span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Vikingdom" is by far KRU Studios' biggest production to-date and with a budget of RM20 million. But the good news is that this local film will be expecting a US release in early October this year. Besides that, Universal Pictures has too acquired the international release of Vikingdom for UK, Australia?New Zealand, the Nordics, and additional territories. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Wolverine is the continuation after 'X-Men : The Last Stand' in which Logan suffers nightmares after Jean Grey's death as well as a past event he experienced long ago<b>. I recommend that you watch 'X-Men : The Last Stand' and 'X-Men Origins : Wolverine' to get a better grasp on Wolverine's story.</b> I like the fact that this revolves around Logan's life & his past and also how the story made Wolverine seem so vulnerable as the story progresses. Despite that, I did expect more from the emotional parts as well as there are some scenes which I'd say might seem odd. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Story-line</b>, <b>well written</b> as they did a good job on bringing up Logan's past (exceptional to the comics) and placed it nicely like a jigsaw.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>P</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>lot-wise</b>, really good. It offered <b>really intense action scenes,</b> from train fights to ninja-samurai-swords fights to one-on-one combats.Besides that, the plot I'd say is rather <b>non-linear</b>, in a way it isn't so predictable as you will keep on wondering what will happen next. Although there are some scenes which I still don't get it. Plot hole perhaps? Hmm.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Acting</b>, despite the <b>lack of screen-time given to some characters, </b>therefore causing lack in chemistry in some character (watch it and you'll notice)<b> </b>the overall acting was good. Overall, a <b>good character-driven</b> story which many other reviewer's said that it can be compared to Nolan's 'Dark Knight Trilogy' in terms of character-driven story, which I agree.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Visually</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, interesting.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenceless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes - a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) - who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pacific Rim is one massive big-budget robot/apocalypse/epic movie. Despite it's generic end-of-the-world storyline which humans in the end have to cooperate to save the world, I'd say this is one unique film. Pacific Rim really reminded me of multiple movies' concepts combined together in one action-packed sci-fi film. It crosses Transformers/Gundum+Real Steel with Godzilla and Avatar's neural mind link concept. The multiple concept mash-up isn't a downside I'd say as the moviewill defintely please you visually with fantastic graphics, designs of the Jaegers (mechas) and concepts (overall movie). Not forgetting the OST! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Plot-wise isn't unpredictable</b> and <b>lacks deep emotional</b> scenes but it has <b>lots of one-on-one fights</b> (like Real Steel with multiple kinds of cool robots fighting out battle, but fighting monsters this time). It is a simple, linear plot but I suggest you to just enjoy Pacific Rim as it is and not complain on some minor illogicality as it is still, an action sci-fi film.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Acting</b>, good acting with some interesting characters put together, but like I said, there was emotional aspect in the film but isn't much for the audience to "feel" it.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Visually, amazing</b>.

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Not amazing but worth the watch. Visually good but story & plot-wise, average in comparison to films with the similar genre. </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm sure most of you would've watched the previous 'Superman'.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for this re-conceptualized and 'remade' version; Man Of Steel, I like how they opened up the movie with the birth of Kal-El and the life and story of planet Kryton. This gives more depth into the story of charcters. Also, how they unfold the story with constant flashback of Superman's (Clark Kent's) life with his Earth parents as they story progresses. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is very <b>'action-y' </b>and filled with one-on-one fights and buildings being destroyed. The action isn't those like in 'The Avengers', but it's fighting (just so you all know). Although, you can notice some hint of Chris Nolan in it with his notable way of story-telling and creating depth in characters. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most movie-buff would consciously or sub-consciously compare Man Of Steel with The Dark Knight Rises. I would say that this is bad idea to compare these two films. Although this is quite unfair, but comparing this to the previous Superman, Man Of Steel will serve well to the modern crowd.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like I said, even though you could notice a tinge of Nolan in it, it still can't match the depth and complexity of the latter. So, I would suggest you watch Man Of Steel as it is and enjoy it as a whole. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Story wise</b>, <b>great re-conceptualization</b> of the story and<b> interesting story build up</b> that I'll say a <b>nice 'prequel'</b> of some sort to Superman as it brings you to a little brief stor yof Clark Kent like in 'Smallville'. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Plot wise</b>, I would say it is somehow<b> predictable and average.</b> I'm not saying it is bad, I'm just saying it is a <b>simple</b> plot and<b> don't expect </b>yourself to go "I'm mindblown." or something. Haha. Some scenes reminded me of Transformers 3, Thor and Avatar. Hmm. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Acting</b>, is great! The casts were<b> well casted</b> and they<b> fit well</b> into each character especially Henry Cavill, Michael Shannon, and Russell Crowe creating a strong feeling of 'maturity', although I feel some characters played such a minor and unnecessary role in some scenes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Visually</b>, the<b> landscape and production design</b> of the prologue and beginning of the movie at Krypton was<b> amazing</b>. The <b>cinematography</b> overall, was <b>well done </b>and captivating. AS for the need of watching in 3D, is your choice. (:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>All in all, Man Of Steel is basically a must watch (at least worth a watch) especially if you're a Superman fan. Don't over-expect but just enjoy the film. If you want to compare this to other 'superhero' movie, I'd say this is quite a good one, not the best, but good. (:</b></span></div>

<div>
"The Great Gatsby" follows the journey of Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Nick arrives with the hope of achieving the American Dream, and the great fortune of a place next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo Dicaprio). It happens that he is also across the bay from his cousin, Daisy (Carey Mulligan), and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton), and Nick is thus drawn into the captivating world of the super-rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. However, as guileless Nick bears witness within and without the world he inhabits, he soon realises a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, all the while weaving it into a novel that holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.<br />

The <b>music</b> was quite <b>interesting</b>. They used some modern music mix in a movie setting of 1920s. Odd but somehow, it surprisingly accompanied the movie well.</div>

<b>All in all, The Great Gatsby is a beautifully made film. If you long for a 'Romeo and Juliet' kind of story, look no further. If you wish for a change, and want to enjoy a good movie, you should watch this. Once again, sad story but good movie. (:</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The main concept and message of my card named;<i><b><span style="color: cyan;"> "Rise & Fulfill"</span></b></i> is to send a message to all the youths of the nation that we should stop daydreaming of the 'What ifs" of life, instead we should start focusing on how we could make those dreams to reality. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once we got a great idea, we should start by taking a productive step by just taking a leap of faith and start working on the idea, even though how seemingly small an idea may seem then, we do not know how much the idea is capable of creating and changing lives. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope this brief post got my message over.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Chair-gripping psychological thriller.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I first entered the cinema to watch this movie, I entered with great interest but I did not expect a lot from it, due to it's generic kidnapping storyline. Reminds me of some episodes of Criminal Minds & the movieTaken, but what caught my attention was the approach and perspective of the film, it's a kidnapping movie but from the POV of a 911 call center operator. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, what I have to say is that once the suspense part comes in, you'll never lift your hand up from the seat. It's really chair-gripping and keeps your eyes glued to the silver screen. The Call will definitely be one of the few good thrillers. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The story is merely simple but the plot is well-structured. Intense, creepy, somewhat frightening & twisted.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I previously mentioned, the <b>interesting approac</b>h towards the <b>story</b> brought the whole movie to live.

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for the<b> plot</b>, well<b> structured and a little 'twisted'</b> I'll say. I won't give a way spoilers to you all, but the plot is what really got me holding to edge of my seat. <b>Suspense</b> from start til finish. Also, the story <b>might actually teach you a thing or two</b> about what you should do if you're in the kidnapped's situation.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Acting</b>, well done. All the characters from Jordan, the kidnapped girl, and the psychotic serial killer. Their acting really made the whole movie<b> intense and also creepy.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Visually, the <b>cinematography</b> was good as it brought the audience closer to the action and emotional aspects of the characters. Not forgetting, <b>amplifying the creepy disturbing , heart-pumping scenes</b> in the film which I will not tell. :P </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Great acting, compelling story & characters.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I first saw the trailer, my reaction was "Its a Denzel Washington movie! A Robert Zemeckis' movie. It's Acedemy nominated too! " Which, means it has got to be a good movie, and it did not disappoint me much (: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, I expected more, maybe a more complex plot or more intense moments? Hmm. Anyway, it's a good movie, I was even convinced that it was based on a true story.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Basically, the story revolves around Captain Whip as he pilots the plane. and he faces a situation that forces him to take action which causes the plane to crash land, killing 6 lives out of the 106. Although some people call him a hero as he managed to save the other lives, there are many prosecutions & allegations against him. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll keep this short & simple.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The<b> story,</b> is <b>shocking but believable</b>. Sort of like "Amazing true stories" kind of story. Also, I believe it serves well as an awareness movie too. I shall not give any spoilers, so that is all I'll say. :P </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Plot-wise</b>, although expected more, but the plot is<b> pretty concrete & structured</b>. From the flow & scenes, quite well done. There are certain scenes which got me at the edge of my seats. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those scenes was well done especially with the aid of good cinematography. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Acting</b>, I need not say, but I will. All the casts did a<b> great job</b>. Especially, the scriptwriters on creating the <b>characters</b>, making them <b>interesting & captivating.</b> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Visually</b>, the cinematography is <b>good. </b>Some scenes as I said, was well done with the cinematography as it evokes suspense & focus.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Music</b>, I like the film's score. It <b>matches the scenes well</b>. (:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>So, I'll recommend for you to watch this movie. All in all, simple story, compelling characters. </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Impossible is truly an amazing film. Firstly, this is not a movie which shows epic apocalyptic scenes to show off the graphics. (*ahem* 2012 *ahem*) This is the true story of Maria (Naomi), Henry (Ewan) , Lucas, Thomas, & Simon. In fact, the script is written by Maria herself assisted by Sergio G. Sánche. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would say that this movie will be one of the good movies that will & have already touched people emotionally and possibly change their perspective on life. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm really <b>impressed & amazed on the overall flow of the story. </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The story was, I would call it "<b>down to earth</b>" as it focuses on the emotional aspects of the movie and the after effects of the tsunami on people. What makes it more impact-ful, is that this is a true story. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Plot</b>, there are scenes that will <b>deeply "hit" the audience emotionally</b>. Actually, almost all the scenes will "hit" the audience emotionally. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, there are<b> some scenes which are kind of 'bloody' with with bloody wounds</b>. So, if you're bringing really young kids, beware. :P But on the good side, this makes the movie more realistic and brings the audience closer to the emotions of the characters. (Watch, and you'll get what I mean :) </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although a little more in depth at the beginning of the film would suffice, but it's already good enough to make audience tear up. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Acting, amazing</b>. The actors/actresses did a job well done with bringing out the characters & their relationships to a deep emotional level. Not forgetting the makeup department for the great job on the wounds & etc. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Visually,</b> they did a<b> job well-done</b>. The scene where the tsunami wiped out the coastal area was so realistic as if it was shot on the day itself. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
