Lately, I’m not doing so well. Sore throat, hoarse voice, no voice, fever, headaches and now I ended up with some really bad-ass cough. It’s like my lungs may come out from my mouth any moment when I cough. It’s terrible.
Maybe being sick isn’t the excuse to use for not updating this blog more frequently. So I’ll blame it on the 9.30a.m. to 7.30p.m. working hours’ basis! It’s so terrible that the only thing to do right after I wrap up after work is dinner and bed!
Anyhow, I still manage to fit in some movie time with my girlfriend. So, here’s some quick short review for every movie I’d watched so far!
The Mechanic 3.5/5 stars
It’s a gory shoot and blast movie. The whole film talks about two assassins avenging against the organization they used to work for. The Mechanic is pretty much a no brainer film trying too hard to be smart. It is a chase and kill movie at its core. The plot seems to be a little out of logic every now and the characters are acting irrationally for no obvious reasons.
It's not like this movie is not enjoyable though. So if you’re watching this movie, I assume you want to see sexy Statham, or you just want to see some exploded heads and some blood. Out of the 3.5 stars I gave, 1.5 come from the blood splatters.
I am Number Four 4/5 stars
Number Four or John Smith obtained his special Lorien ability called Legacy, which is unique to every user. For John, his ability includes having torchlight in the palm of his hand. Number Six in the other hand have some very cool warping technique and anti-fire defensive barrier. If you compare their ability, Six makes Four’s ability stupid, period.
The movie itself had a good balance of romance and action which makes the movie an enjoyable experience. If you haven’t watched this movie, I would recommend this movie highly.
Beastly 1/5 stars
I watched the premiere screening of Beastly with my colleagues from Evo Pictures for free, since we make the short edit of the 10 secs, 15 secs, and the 20 secs Beastly trailer you see on TV. Since it’s free, I watch the film with joyous feeling while I almost shouted, “I’m lucky I didn’t pay for this movie!”
When I watched the trailer (and while I was editing it, I watched it over and over for almost a hundred times) I thought it would be pretty good. It ends up that the trailer’s good, the real film is not!
The trailer had very good sound effects, great visual effects which impressed me. The real film itself however did not employ the same visual effects seen in the trailer. Except for the blind tutor who called himself Mary Poppins in the trailer; the other characters had no depths at all and the dialogues are extremely boring.
Everything in this film is uninteresting, except if you’re like me, watching the beastly make-up for the main character of the movie. And to tell you the truth, he’s not ugly, just extremely punked. Nothing beastly in it at all. I rather watch the cartoon version of The Beauty and the Beast, because at least, it is enjoyable. So, in conclusion just 1 star: for the make-up.
So, that covers both my ranting and my movie review!
Until then,
jin
