Honest Movie Reviews 2015 -_-x

Kingsman: The Secret Service

 

Kingsman: The Secret Service (M18 film loosely adapted from Mark Millar's graphic novel of the same name) - Gentleman spy with ladies, James Bond, Jason Bourne, secret agency, heroes with remarkable skills, codenames from the Knights of the Round Table, villians bent on killing with self-righteous intention, world conspiracy involving world leaders ... Amid all the M18 violence and British expleti...ves with reference to s**, still ... a true British action blockbuster, spy thriller and comedy all roll into one which poke fun now and then like, to the initial JB [Not Johor Bahru but more Spy and British, see above] ... ... -_-x (When you know the director is also from your favourite X-Men movie First Class, Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons the comic giants are the source material creators, you are in for a ride! Almost everything is British except for the American Samuel L Jackson who try to stammer with British accent. Even with similar cliches of "young-people-is-the-real-hero", "the-hero-cannot-die" and "save-the-day" plots, the movie is throughout exciting and pretty good. The effects and fighting scenes are mind-blowing. The violence and explosions albeit disturbing, are "cushioned" and made more "artistically". Simply to say, this film is AWESOME-TECULAR and I cannot wait to see the sequel.)

 

 

Ah Boys to Men 3, Frogmen

 

Ah Boys to Men 3, Frogmen: A Jack Neo film that brings back Singapore army National Service nostalgia, this time with a what-if ... most of the previous Ah Boys to Men actors join the super "xiong"[tough] navy divers [NDU] aka Frogmen. The movie is full of product placements and propaganda, no doubt on purpose, as the brands of beer to bread to facial lotion, mission statements and core values are... all stated very explicitly and repeatedly. Many heart-warming moment, many funny what-the-heck military happenings and jokes, even the plot is good as you feel for the different characters in the show and the issue of "rightfully wrong" and "wrongfully right" moral dilemma is addressed. There are even exciting action, fight, gun and combat scenes. -_-x (100x better than the full-of-flaw "The Lion Men" series. The film manage to capture the magic of Ah Boys to Men and remind us why many of us love the series in the first place. Seriously, Jack Neo is better with coming out films a lot closer to Singapore heart, with issues and roles that many Singaporeans have experience and can relate to, rather than trying out new things that somehow always do not work out for him. Next on Singapore NS box office milk-the-cash-cow list, Air Force the Above All? Lol. Nothing can stand in our way ... HooYah! As a Singaporean guy who has gone through NS basic training, though not in the army and navy, I can really understand and relate to all the s**ts and memories of regimental in-camp-trainings where you are always seemingly wrong and have to answer 3 most common sentences, "Yes Sir, No Sir and Thank you Sir". For this, I will always have soft spot for National Service shows ... (:)

 

 

Furious 7

 

Furious 7 (The Fast and Furious film franchises) [For Paul ... A tribute to the late Paul Walker]: Written by Chris Morgan and directed by James Wan, a good director.The same cool multi-racial casts starring Van Diesel and his Latina gal, Paul Walker and his 2 brothers with his well-made CGI faces, the Brazilian gal who acts as his wife (who have to take care of the kid in the show and therefore l...imited screen time), the 2 funny Black guys and of course, The Rock. This time with additions like Kurt Russell, Jason Statham, Thai Tony Jaa, African Djimon and an English lady black, and minuses like that Korean Han and the lady who is going to be Wonder Woman. The bad guys just keep coming and the black ops just keep getting bigger and bigger, as everyone is thirsting for, an eye for an eye. Furious 7 is full of actions, full of fist and street fights, full of car racings and drifting, full of thrills, full of puns that are started by the bad guys and then repeated back in the face by the good guys, full of "really hot stuffs" and once again solidly proves that CARS CAN FLY, not 1, not 2 but MANY freaking TIMES !!! -_-x (It is so AWESOME-TECULAR !!! It is no wonder the series is now a 7 and there is going to be another 2 installments coming, WHAT?!? ... Full of hot sizzling stuffs, I mean more of the eye-popping sports CARS rather than errr ... ... LOL ... May peace be upon you, Paul! Thank you for bringing us amazing action films!)

 

 

Avengers: Age of Ultron

 

Avengers: Age of Ultron (No Spoilers!) - A film very widely anticipated that finally unites the heroes for the second time with a wide cast of superheroes from the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) that already exists, and easter eggs and set-ups of those that are going to exist. 3 newcomers join the current action of saving lives and defeating Ultron, the mad Artificial Intelligence kick-started by... Stark (Ironman) and Banner (Hulk). Basically, the Avengers have to clear their own mess this time. More cameos of familiar faces, more heroes absolutely, and of course SHIELD and one-eyed Nick. Full of action, full of fights, this time with more personal background stories, vendettas, motivations, fears and pains of the heroes particularly Hawkeye who is never featured a lot in other non-Avengers films. Some sub-plots. Many witty funny one-liner puns. -_-x (Avengers will always be Awesome-Tecular! Though I feel that the first one is more classic than this sequel. Do note there is a mid-credit, featuring a really important bad guy mastermind. God of Geeks, director Joss Wedon, is right about him not putting in post-credit this time. So no need to hold your pee and wait throughout ... ...)

Jurassic World

Jurassic World (Supposedly Jurassic Park Part 4, 22 years later): A long-awaited nostalgic Dinosaur film that many young adults are waiting for, in reminiscing our favourite childhood memory. The old Jurassic theme song from John Williams that play quite a few times strategically in the film that keep on ringing in our head even after we left the cinema. A theme park based movie about greed and al...ways, the desire for profit and "something bigger fiercer and badder". The not-so-Science of genetics involving the making of a "villian" hybrid without feathers that represents humans' sinful creation named as The Indominus Rex. Featuring 2 young and smaller boys that cannot die, 2 hero and heroine that do not die, eager Scientists and nerd who always escape, gun-bearing soldiers who always die, hungry corporations and many tourists who are always injured or bitten then get evacuated. Applications of Dinosaur are being mentioned as some Dinosaur are being trained and many domesticated. Not forgetting the suspenseful Dinosaur huntings and killings, this time with more AWESOME Dinosaur FIGHTINGS! No spoiler, a mother f**king ROARING bad-ass is back! -_-x(Sorry for the swearing. LOL. Jurassic World is really good that will glue you to the chair! Visual and sound effects are brilliantly done, as we are reminded of the excitement, the wonder and the awe of a different prehistoric world and how small we the humans are as compared. A salute to the first Jurassic Park film [Not the 2nd and absolutely not the hilarous 3rd] and to the legendary director and producer Steven Spielberg that started it all! Ready to see the next sequel ... the sticky theme song is now playing in my head ... ...) https://youtu.be/zHalXjs0cDA


Terminator Genisys

Terminator Genisys (2015 Sci-fi film and the fifth instalment and retcon of the franchises [No spoiler!]): Time-travel loop to create multiple alternate stories and future for continuity reboot, artificial intelligence, war, post-apocalytic hope, family relationship paradox, killer robot protector and humans, explosions, guns, BANG, action-packed, machines/robots brawling with some humour on and o...ff. The nano-cellular twist that is FrEaKiNg shown in the trailers [What ... the heck ...]. -_-x (Do not miss the epilogue aka the mid-credit! Genisys is FANTASTIC and the plot is acceptable even with time-travel mumbo jumbo! Arnold is back and a more experience[aged] actor this time as the emotionless role fits him totally. The drum beating Terminator theme is nostalgic. ... ... Classic one liners: "I will be back!" "Hasta La Vista Baby!" LOL)

 

Ant-Man

 

Ant-Man (Marvel's 12th successful installment and No Spoilers): A film about the Marvel's smallest hero, whose storyline does not follow the comic version but with the same names like Henry Pym and Scott Lang used, that ties in with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is hilarious and latino style. Many great stunning visual and action scenes especially the shrinking, running and coordinating with d...ifferent types of ants, punching, fighting and expanding and throwing, then back to shrinking again. -_-x (I love this movie! Instead of going big and boom, the director goes small, literally and figuratively, with both thumbs-up result. Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas totally fit into their heroic character roles really well, a former burglar and a brilliant scientist! The tension and love between fathers and daughters are portrayed. An avenger is being prominently featured and gives glimpse as to why avengers cannot be everywhere and anytime! The main villian Yellowjacket is pretty forgettable though. Do not miss BOTH the mid-credit and post-credit! Post-credit will be linked to the next big Marvel film and give a hint on the civil war "accord".)

 

 

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation

 Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation - The 5th amazing franchise featuring yet again the IMF team task force and Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, the impossible agent who always "gamble" his way through impossible odds, and win the mission in a cool and heroic manner. The film is full of death-defying action scenes, mind-blowing stunts, breathtaking strokes and [not just car] but the best motorbikes chasing ...sequences ever. A super spy thriller and suspense, a big conspiracy of black ops, with a stronger villian who pose a more serious challenge to IMF known as the Syndicate. -_-x (The film is Awesome-tecular! It is the best embodiment of the first and fourth ghost protocol MI movies put together. There are indeed more characters development and some humour. I was sweating, holding my breath and feeling the adrenaline flow while watching the movie with memorable stunt scenes. Btw, IMF is Impossible Mission Force and not the manipulative International Monetary Fund. LoL. Awaiting the next film to give Tom Cruise his next fat paycheck. He totally deserves it as you can sense how devoted and mature he is in doing all the MI franchises.)

Featuring the catchy and classic theme song: Ter-ter ter-ter ter-ter-ter-ter ter-ter-te ...

 

1965

 

1965 (The Singapore 2015 film) - A film to coincide with SG 50 years of independence and to portray the challenges faced in the 1960s tumultuous years. With 2 hours+ of expositions ... featuring ... the racial tension (particularly between the Chinese and Malays), the civil racial riots, Konfrontasi (Indonesian covert operations to sabotage Singapore known as "Confrontation", and a conspiracy the ...film try to fictionally link and push all the racial riots and tension to, Er... Really?), Merdeka (Singapore independence from the British) and the merger with and separation from Malaysia. Of course, a side tribute to Mr Lee Kuan Yew who passed away this year. There are small cameos from politician and celebrities. -_-x (This film SUCKS on a cinematic value. I want to like the show and I know the studio try their best BUT everything is so painfully third-rated and amateur-ish, from the directing to the acting to the dialogue to the flow and to the story plot that does not make sense. Full of disruptive direct cut to the next scenes, awkard silences and long pauses, and obvious scenes of camera not hold properly. For a show that is not documentary, it is fully expository with the narrator's background voice trying to explain things all the time. If not for the fact that Singapore's history is so close to my heart and I am emotionally attached to Singapore with my mum wanting to reminisce the past, I will never even consider looking at the movie. In fact, it is so boring that most of the time my mum fell asleep in the cinema. The only consolation is that it will be a slightly better movie than this year "shitty" "Fantastic 4" which I have purposefully avoided. Hai ... Wth ... Majulah Singapura!)

 

 

Attack on Titan Part 1

 

Attack on Titan Part 1 (A NC-16 [English/Chinese subtitled] 2015 Japanese dark fantasy based on the popular manga and anime of the same name): A unique horror gory apocalytic fantasy movie of humanoid giants devouring humans and humans building tall walls to surround and protect themselves. A heavy dose of psychological tone on social hopelessness. Unlike any other horror movies, the film is paced... swiftly and gripping without the jump scares and ladened with many mysteries waiting to be revealed. -_-x (Fanboys of the manga series are not going to be too happy about this liberal adaptation and deviation from the source material. But overall, the film is still a good "stand-alone" one albeit with many disturbing images especially of the "eating" and "killing" scenes. The "human Titans" are revolting in appearances, truly ugly scary and disgusting. Looking forward to the answer for the origin of the Titan/Monster in part 2.)

 

 

Hitman: Agent 47

 

Hitman: Agent 47 (2015 film based on a hit videogame series "Hitman" and not a continuation of the 2007 film): A lot of infiltrations, shootings, killings, cripplings and car-chasings with some storylines about some Diana (A Chinese "flower-vase" who only made phone calls as portrayed by Angelababy) of the Agency barking contracts/orders to a genetically altered superhuman bald assassin called Age...nt named 47 who has a barcode at the base of his skull. He goes on a rampage against the Syndicate who wants to create more Agents by kidnapping a scientist and his similarly genetically-altered super psychic daughter. A sort of successful videogame to be milked and cashed-made into Hollywood action blockbuster. -_-x (This film is bland and not a good show. The shootings, some action scenes and overall performances of Agent 47 actor are okay-okay. The only emotional factor to watch this film is that around 2/5 of the movie scenes are based in Singapore, a rare location in Hollywood films, probably to coincide with this year SG 50. The film does provide free advertisement of Singapore, our Orchids, Changi Airport and MBS Gardens by the Bay to the Americans and the world. So watch it only for familiar Singapore tourist spots ...)

 

 

Inside Out

 

Inside Out (2015 Pixar film): Even with a complex theme on emotions, Pixar nails it again! This time without Steve Jobs's input and John Lasseter's production. A refreshingly emotional, cleverly made and psychologically accurate animation film with quality storyline that will make you smile, feel, tear, laugh and cry. Meet the emotion casts - Joy (Yellow and the leader of the emotion), Sadness (Bl...ue), Fear (Purple), Disgust (Green) and Anger (Red), as they make decision and take turns to "take charge" in handling day-to-day activities and occurences, creating personalities, traits and different types of core, short-term, long-term and forgotten memory (balls). Dreams, nightmares, abstract thoughts, "train of thoughts", puberty, desire, subconciousness, limbo state, apathy (emotionless) and even brain freeze are being portrayed and explored in interesting light. Finally, Bing Bong, the representation of all our childhood imaginary friends, Elephant-like friend of Riley, the main gal in the movie, is being featured! -_-x (Amazingly Brilliant! Innerly Awesome show! ... ... All emotions are important and should work together to lead a balance life even as everyone prefers Joy [Happiness and Optimism], who are and should always be the leader of our emotion for a happy and fruitful life!)

 

 

Attack on Titan 2: End of the world

 

Attack on Titan 2: End of the world - A continuation of part 1 just 2 months plus ago. The movie has taken way too much liberty, too much from the ongoing manga and anime series for the plot and the creative direction. Fanboys and fangirls will no doubt be pissed. The cinematography and CGI are alright with the consideraton of a lower budget that Hollywood can offer. Some parts of the storyline do... not make much sense and at times even whimsical. The predictable cliche and not so mysterious origins of titans and conspiracies are revealed. There are some giants (titans) fighting scenes though. -_-x (Just an okay movie with the familiar profiting method of splitting a film into 2 parts to harvest double the money from all of us ... Still a slightly better adaptation as compared to shitty live actions like Dragonball Evolution and The Last Airbender. Read the manga and watch the anime, they are whole lot better.)

 

 

The Martian

 

The Martian (2015 NASA space film based on the novel by Andy Weir): A lot more grounded space exploration about manned Mars mission that does not push too far of today's technology. A space castaway who alone uses his wits, ingenuity, optimism and Science (including his field of botany) to survive months enough in harsh Mars for a rescue mission to come. A space film that does not involve metaphys...ics and less focus on emotion tapping like "Interstellar" and a lot more survival Thinking and Doing than "Gravity". All the big team of multi-racial casts are great, Matt Damon is FANTASTIC in his portrayal as a guy who uses humour to keep himself sane and always hoping and going when the odds are always against him. Credit should also be given to the director Riley Scott who makes this space film as realistic as possible with beautiful Mars scenes and real physics and biology, reportedly with full advice and consultation involving a panel of NASA experts. -_-x (Awesome-tecular and full of Disco music! This really ups another level and quality of space-related films. You can feel with all the main and supported characters, the intensity, the urgency, the emotions, the hard decisions ... the breathlessness ... Math ... Astrophysics ... Science of raw survival. Taking away any propanganda and cynical views, we all gotta believe that if China and America really put aside their differences and cooperate, things will work out fine and better. A trend of Hollywood films nowadays. Hm ... ...)

 

 

Pan

 

Pan (2015 film, prepare for ANGRY RANTS): A sort of origin prequel to the beloved Peter Pan's fairy tales which is trying to be different and racist at the same time. @#$%!!! This CRAPPY film SUCKS! The WORST Peter Pan ever! Do not waste your money and time! Freaking skip this SHITTY movie! You have been warned ... Do not watch just because of "Hugh Jackman" factor. He is totally nonsensical in a ...bad bad way and is out of place as a whimsical or wicked Blackbeard or not. Unpleasant, Boring, Artificial ... Surprisingly FLAT and SLEEPY even with action sequences. Simply Awful even when they try to sell it as children's film! Whole show is obviously full of "fakish" CGI. Enough said, WHAT THE @#$% !!! -_-x (Completely ruin my Peter Pan's childhood, Captain Hook, Neverland, Tiger Lily, Tinker Bell and The Lost Boys! If you seek unique Peter Pan, watch live action series like Hook and Neverland instead. Do watch the 1953 disney classic for an awesome feel. A bad movie = A bad day ... #@$% ...)

 

 

Our Times, 我的少女时代

 

Our Times, 我的少女时代 (A 2015 Taiwan School love theme film, PG 13 [for a reason]): A school love "fairy tale" based on the perspective of the female and different from the predecessor film "那些年 You are the Apple of my eye" which is based on the male perspective. A movie that intelligently uses music, songs, TV shows and real items to evoke and trigger nostalgia and memory of the 90s era of Taiwan and... countries with Chinese dominated schools. A show that will make you laugh 傻笑 and cry 流泪. I do enjoy the film and to give it credit, it is well-done with enough emotion, humour and heartrending and heartwarming moment. 真的有感动到我, 有让我心酸, 尤其是Hebe的"小幸运"歌曲。戏中也有刘德华天王亲自客串 and some big Taiwan stars. An ending that I am "happy" about and will not spoil. -_-x (Every female will imagine herself to be the protagonist 林真心 with the fantasy of a dashing badass but caring man 徐太宇 who always like her. While every male especially the boyfriends will be like er ... the love expectation and sweetness are impossibly unrealistic and can just wait for Star Wars to come out and watch it instead. The whole cinema is always full of girls' laughter, gasping and giggling loh ... lol ...)

原来你是我 最想留住的幸运
原来我们和爱情曾经靠得那么近
。。。 。。。
与你相遇 好幸运
可我也失去 为你泪流满面的权利

 

 

Bridge of spies

 

Bridge of spies (2015 historical drama film): The thrilling movie that is directed by Steven Spielberg and star Tom Hanks. The film is non-action, that means the whole show is full of talking and travelling but with intensity and emotions. It is based on true espionage, diplomacy and exchanges of prisoners at East Berlin due to incidents of U2 spy plane and an American student and a Soviet artist ...accused as spies during the USSR and USA cold war period. The settings and backgrounds are brilliantly choreographed and convincing. -_-x (With the legend and A-list like Spielberg and Hanks, this film is guaranteed to be an entertaining and a good one. Spielberg the director really has a wide array of cinematology under his portfolio with many breakthrough in his career. Respect!)

 

 

Goosebumps

Goosebumps (2015 horror/comedy film based on R.L Stine 1990s popular Scholastic series): A fast paced movie full of jump scares that are actually more funny than scary most of the time. Contrary to what many people fear for an illogical surrealistic fantasy, this show is actually pretty good. It creatively portrays the Goosebumps monsters and allows the story to flow. I enjoy it very very much. Do... not have high expectation for the CGIs as the animations look "obviously" and "fakishly" animated. It can also be emotional especially near the end. The plot device is actually similar to all 62 beloved R.L Stine's Goosebumps children series. The formula of a teenage protagonist as hero or heroine going into a new place, love interest and side kicks from friends, siblings or neighbours, unusual adventures of horror and supernatural nature, and the ending(s) and cliffhanger that TWIST your mind. Watch out for Mr Black a cameo! Jack Black as a recluse and the teenage actors are all great! -_-x (I grew up reading R.L Stine Goosebumps during my primary school days and I really love them with all my favourite monsters being featured on the screen. Not all are being featured due to limited budget and screen times. Slappy the dummy and antagonist scared the s@$t out of me when I was a kid and now he really gives me goosebumps on screen. The book series are what inspired the young me to read and write especially stories of supernatural horror until my teachers had to warn me from writing horror stories with twist endings and cliffhanger in my composition or I will fail my PSLE. Lol. There are plans for sequel and I really hope Sony would not screw it up. I hope they can use the storyline of Monster Blood.)

 

 

Spectre: 007

 

Spectre: 007 (24th James Bond film starring Daniel Craig as the most famous and "un-die-able" resilent spy in the world): The plot features Bond's personal mission by former "M" that leads to the global criminal organisation with the "Octopus-sy" symbol known as Spectre. Spectre concept was returned to big screen from the 1971 Bond film and this is also a big attempt to tie and link all 4 Craig's ...Bond films and villians together. The same old classical Bond formula ... Full of breathtaking action and stunt scenes. Badass fighting scenes especially with the big-sized henchman starring Batista the real wrestler. Humans, cars, yatch, helicopters and aeroplane chases that smashes everything in the path. Letter and number heads are stated to sound cool like M15, M16, M, Q, Moneypenny(P?), C and double O with a whole number. Bond unrealistically but surely seducing and sexing every beautiful Bond ladies (except Moneypenny) in all the series. A diabolical main villain revealed that is sort of creepy but useless and defeated in the face of 007. -_-x (Not a bad movie. Greatly entertaining! Cinematography and direction by Sam Mendes are very well-done. The introductory song is quite artsy too. The most action flicks ever in all of the 24 Bond series. In my opinion, the problem lies more with the plot flow and the unnecessary jumping back to a "required" sub-plot now and then that disrupts the storyline of Bond's personal journey to the ghost of his past. Personally, to rank Craig's Bond series overall in order of merit: Skyfall, Casino Royale, Spectre and Quantum of Solace. Always a fan of Double O and the sticky theme music! Long live Double O 7, no matter who the new guy actor is ... ...)

 

 

The Hunger Games III Mockingjay Part 2 

The Hunger Games III Mockingjay Part 2: A satisfying enough conclusion to the epic saga as with the novel trilogy, but the pacing is really and purposefully slow because they the Hollywood just have to do it, by unnecessarily splitting 1 average sized book into 2 parts to milk more $$$$$ out of us. The conversations are obviously prolonged to increase run-time explicitly, inevitably hurting the st...ory flow for the movie, making this film less awesome than it should have been. -_-x (More darker and sadder, still can be intense but less feel due to the snail pacing. Should have ended at the right moment but just have to freaking keep on reeling ... DRAGGY ... What??! Jennifer Lawerence is great as Katniss the emotional archer heroine, and good portrayal as of other actors. Finally, an end ... oh wait ... what ... they have plans to make sequels or prequels not based in the novel??? What the f@#*! Stop ruining and milking the franchise! Seriously. Let it end! Let it be!)

 

 

The Good Dinosaur

 

The Good Dinosaur (2 Pixar-Disney animation films in a year ... WoW!): What happens in an alternate timeline set 65 million years after the asteroid that would have caused the extinction of dinosaurs passes safely over Earth? You get evolved intelligent and cartoonish dinosaurs like Apatosaurus farmers and ranching cowboy T-Rexes. A story about Arlo, the green timid smaller version of Apatosaurus,... who is somehow casted out from his home and lost his way, have to overcome his fear and adversity of the main villain and smaller villains, met new dinosaurs and animals, journey back home with the companionship and friendship of a human caveman kid named "Spot". Scenes that reminds you of the movie "The Lion King". Scenes that reminds you of what the circles of Ohana means from "Lilo and Stitch". Amazing stunning breathtaking photo-realistic backdrop. And ... This main villain is something that we should never trifle with, and not really the smaller villains that say "The storm provides". -_-x (Not the best Pixar movie, but truly touching and heartrending enough. Still a pleasure and the kids will really love it! Who don't love dinosaurs?)

 

 

Creed

 

Creed (2015 film and considered as the 7th of "Rocky" the Sylvester Stallone boxer series. No spoilers and not a single plot revealed. A hint for people who have watched Rocky I to IV ... Look at the title, does Apollo rings a bell?): The BEST boxing film of the all favourite Rocky series since the 1970s. The most AWESOME boxing movie of all times! The boxing bouts and sequences are unquestionably... exciting and caused us to be always at the edge of our seats. The greatest parts are the way the videography and motion pictures are shown ... Raw, Realistic, Gritty as the whole Philadelphia streets and neighbourhoods are wonderfully portrayed. The music score is good and uplifting. The emotions, the tensions and the interactions are the factors that are driving the whole show, that really makes us feel for each characters especially the young Adonis Johnson Creed and now the old man Rocky Balboa. -_-x (Have always been inspired and motivated by Rocky since young, about standing up to do the right thing and pushing forward, achieving our dreams despite all odds and setbacks. Based on observations, the show audiences are 95% males as the rest of the females are just accompanying their boyfriends. LOLLL!!!!! Always a fan of Rocky. Long lives Rocky! Long lives Apollo Creed!)

 

Star Wars Episode VII

 

Star Wars Episode VII The Force Awakens: By J.J. Abrams, who also directs 2 good Star Trek blockbusters, meaning the first of the new Disney trilogy will obviously be an epic space opera. The fan-based anticipation is fantastic, the visual effects are really brilliant, the "Force" is still strong. The familiar plot premise of light (Jedi, non-red light sabre and The Resistance) versus dark (The Da...rk side, red light saber and First Order with a bigger weapon) and a journey race to find the skilled Jedi Master. The nostalgia as the old characters like Han Solo, General (Former Princess) Leia, Chewbacca, C3-PO, R2-D2 and Luke Skywalker are back. Millenium Falcon and awesome space piloting fights are back. But the protagonists are the younger Finn, Rey, a best pilot Poe and a (merchandise-that-will-sell-well) robot droid known as BB-8. The big antagonist is somewhat "related". Seriously, same theme as Star Wars episode IV - VI. The twist hopefully will be as powerful, as the revelation of Darth Vader the famous villain of IV-VI. -_-x (Do not worry about the first 6 episodes. New audiences can still watch. May the Force be with you!)

 

叶问 3 [Ip Man 3]

 

叶问 3 [Ip Man 3] (starring Donnie Yen in Ip Man films based on certain biography of a real martial art grandmaster, rated PG 13): Full of breathtaking sparrings! Street fights, Close-ranged fights, Kungfu fights, one versus many fights, Pole fights, Bruce Lee fight, Muay Thai, Boxing, and Yong Chun versus Yong Chun itself! Mike Tyson is the Boxer! Surprisingly, the show does not just portray only fight fight fights, but also ... focus on the touching and emotional scenes of Ip Man and his family particularly his wife. -_-x (A treat to the adrenaline rush! Some comedic and heartrending moments. A movie sequel that is equal if not greater than the first two. Thumbs Up!)
