About Time Premier Screening

Courtesy to Nuffnang, I get to watch About Time Premier Screening before it release in cinema.

At the age of 21, Tim (Domhnall Gleeson ) is told an incredible family secret by his father (Bill Nighy) - that all the men in his family have the ability to travel in time. He can relive any moment in his life to try things differently until he gets them perfectly right.
About Time is a comedy about love and time travel, which discovers that, in the end, making the most of life may not need time travel at all.

Time travel ability. How I wish I could have it too? I can just back to past. Do what I shouldn't do and POP! My life could have change today. Ok just kidding.

I though the movie gonna be about romance but I was wrong. It got my attention at the middle of the movie which actually it is more than a romance. It is also about life. The plot is pretty good though it lack of climax. Felt the whole movie graph pretty constant if you asked me.

It also shown great and strong character development of the main actor, Domhnall Gleeson. Not to mentioned, I also love the chemistry between Tim and his father. It touches my heart a little at the final. I guess this is one of the fear growing person will face, death.

Nevertheless, About Time will be on cinema next week. So, it is about time to bring your girl friend or boy friend for this movie maybe? :P

Kick Ass 2 Premier Screening

Courtesy of Nuffnang, I get to watch Kick Ass 2 Premier Screening before it release from cinema.

Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor- Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother Fuckerr—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation.

Somehow I felt the sequel is lack of some kick ass-ing mojo compare with the first movie. However, it is still enjoyable with all the bloody fake CGI, gore enough as well and decent action fight. Storyline is simple, solid and predictable as usual.

Disappointed with Jim Carrey for not being major character and doesn't show much of his fun side. Surprisingly my partner of the movie, Zhao doesn't know that's Jim Carrey. Guess he is ageing much and the sound doesnt like him too. The gathering of a bunch of super hero wannabe and also super villain wannabe is pretty cool. Avenger Assamble anyone? :P

I have not much to complain the movie. It is decent enough and fun to watch. Just feeling meh on the censorship in this movie. Mother Russia FTW!

Elysium Premier Screening

Courtesy to Nuffnang, I get to watch Elysium Premier Screening before it release in cinema today.

In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) will stop at nothing to preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium – but that doesn't stop the people of Earth from trying to get in by any means they can. Max (Matt Damon) agrees to take on a life-threatening mission, one that could bring equality to these polarized worlds.

The reason I watch this movie is because I put too high expectation to the director. Well, the higher u expect, the more disappointment u get isn't? There are too much flaws in this movie however I only gonna praise the storyline. It is solid. But not the best. The story started really slow, slow and go on really slow until the climax.

The protagonist wasn't exactly like all hero from others movie. He is selfish, he just don't want to die and willing to do whatever he need to get to Elysium to cure his radiation. The suits that he wore was pretty useless. It suppose to provide him super power that easily kick Droids ass which shown at the beginning, but middle of the movie show he easily get pawned by Krugger underling when the plane crash.

Though Elysium seem nice, high tech but the main focus seem like the machine that can-cure-whatever-shitbrix-happened-on-your-body. That's include your exploded face. So, Elysium invested too much on such machine but never bother to invest on security that stop illegal immigrant? Oh they have Droids but practically never use them to defend the base. Not to mentioned the whole Elysium system easily get stolen from someone brain without any difficulty.

Too many similar kind of movie this year (Oblivion, After Earth and etc) and this make Elysium not so special. I still enjoy District 9 more.

Lone Ranger Premier Screening

Courtesy to Nuffnang I get to watch Lone Ranger Premier Screening before it release in cinema.

From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster franchise “Pirates of the Caribbean”, comes Disney’s “The Lone Ranger,” a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes. Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.

I think it is rarely for me to feel 150 minutes for a movie is too long. There are mixture of love and hate for the movie. I love the background music at the final battle. It remind me alot disney classic mickey mouse cartoon. I hate the movie because it just pure draggy and mediocre story line. However I do admit it has great character development, great chemistry between two main character and slap stick comedy kind of action. Ok I do love the part when Tonto mentioned Kemosabe meaning to John.

Alot unexplained and illogical part. How does Tonto and John can still move freely and as in nothing happen after they just get flung away from the train at the beginning of the show? How Tonto escape from the jail? How can the train so easily detach by a gun shot? I wouldn't even wanna start questioning the white house.

Overall, this movie is worth to watch because of Johnnie Depp. But to be honest it wasn't his best acting. I still prefer his old movie, Sweeney Todd anyone?

The Heat Premier Screening

Courtesy to Nuffnang, I get to watch The heat premier screening before it release in cinema.

Uptight FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) and foul-mouthed Boston cop Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy) couldn't be more incompatible. But when they join forces to bring down a ruthless drug lord, they become the last thing anyone expected buddies. From Paul Feig, director of “Bridesmaids.”

Honestly, nothing much to shout on the movie. The story line pretty much mediocre since the format has been reused for uncountable times. I hardly find myself enjoy the movie at the beginning but somehow middle of the show it managed to attracted me and I admit, I laugh on those jokes.

Nothing much to shout on character performances. The character development is good and acting convincing enough. Melissa McCarthy did a good job as foul languages speaker. Guess she gonna stick with that kind character for a while..i guess ok?

Overall, I do enjoy the movie and had a great laugh last night.

World War Z 3D Premier Screening

Courtesy to Nuffnang, I get to watch World War Z Premier Screening in 3D. Unfortunately the 3D doesn't make much difference in terms of depth and I still hate the glass for not being sharp. Rather watch in 2D though..

The story revolves around United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Pitt), who traverses the world in a race against time to stop a pandemic that is toppling armies and governments and threatening to decimate humanity itself.

In World War Z, it is a movie you get to see Brad Pitt (as Gerry Lane) one man show. Nah it is not typical action packed Zombie movie. It is more like adventure and survival for me since Gerry wasn't a soldier or warrior, but an investigator. The movie is full with suspense, surprises and ZOMBIESSSSS of course. Everything happen quite fast. Within the first 10 minutes of the movie, Zombie already introduce and attacking human on the street (as seen in most WWZ trailer).

However, dislike some scene for being too dark and fast moving camera. Can't really see what's happening. The Zombies in this movie seem doesnt eat brain or flash. They just bite them off to turn them into Zombie. Yup, no bloody and gore scene. In the same time those Zombies was on high steroid most of the time since they very aggressive and running very fast. Kinda remind me of the crappy Resident Evil movie. I also curious how can Tommy survive from the Zombie attack when his parent was attacked? Where is the he holding gun from? Why Gerry Lane did not use any gun?

Oh I almost forgot the most useless character in the movie, Professor Fassbach who suppose accompanied Gerry to find antidote, trip down himself because of too panic when saw zombie then accidentally shot himself dead. Dafuq! Oh I can't help it but Brad Pitt looks like Chris Hemsworth/Thor here. In my heart keep shouting "IDIOT! USE YOUR MJORNIR!" LOL

Nevertheless, I think it is a type of movie either you love it, or hate it. It might disappoint some zombie fans there.

Now You See Me Premier Screening

Courtesy to Churpchurp I am given chance to watch Now You See Me Premier Screening before it release at cinema.

The project is described as a thriller that pits a crack FBI squad in a game of cat-and-mouse against a super-team of the world's greatest illusionists, who pull off a series of daring bank heists during their performances, showering the profits on their audiences while staying one step ahead of the law.

This would be my first magic show type movie. Pretty good and thumb up to the movie! Watching all the magic trick as if I am watching live show of magician performing in front of me. Hey magician doing crime using magic. Isn't it awesome?

Story wise pretty decent and acceptable with abit twist at the end. However plothole still everywhere. One of them would be why interpol sent a girl (Alma Vargas) who did paper work only handle the case? It was mentioned once in the movie with Dylan Rhodes questioning about it but later on the reason wasn't mention. Out of sudden both of them can fall in love as well. Other than that, I do love how they unveiled all their magic tricks in the movie. Sound unbelievable but this what all illusion about.

Character wise definitely Jesse Eisenberg my favorite. Love the way he talk fast with confident. It sound cocky and insulting as well. I like Mark Ruffalo character too for being look abit dumb and blur face all the way. I guess he got the natural blur face :P

Nevertheless, Now You See Me definitely a movie that worth your money ;)
