Cabin Fear (2015)
Another Good Movie with a Bad IMDb Rating...
I looked at the rating for this movie before I even watched it so yeah, I was expecting it to be a bad B Rated film. BUT I WAS WRONG..
I cannot believe how this movie was able to make a simple and predictable story line to flow so smoothly. The acting on this movie made the scenes look like you are just watching some home made video but yet it worked. It was clearly the directors intention for the viewers to have that feeling that they are just watching a bad movie.
It may not be a 10 star movie, but definitely its not a 3 star.
Lesson learned, I would indulge myself to a bad rated movie once in a while.
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)
Delightfully Stressful.. Hahaha
I was not expecting this film to be very entertaining. It will take you to a place and situation that you can actually feel the stress and the tension between the characters. I don't want to give out any spoilers, so I suggest you stop reading reviews of this film and just watch it. hahaha!
If you are looking for a movie that will make you wonder whats gonna happen till the end.. this is the movie for you!
Kudos to the actors, especially John Gallagher Jr, who added a bit of fun and mystery to the mix of characters. John Goodman was great and the lead actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead was phenomenal.
Mr. Robot (2015)
It's Definitely Different
Kudos to the director, all the creators, writers and actors of this show. I don't know how to describe it but its definitely different from all the current TV series i tried to watch.
The 'human drama' in it is intertwined with drug addition, capitalism, the dark side of technology and corruption - and the plot shows how it can affect the interaction & behavior of the characters in the story. For me, that blend of harsh social reality mixed with a good storytelling is what makes this show stand out from the rest.
Mr. Robot may not be a show for everyone.. but if you are looking for a new TV series that can tap the inner intellectual being in you - then this is a show that you shouldn't miss.
You May Not Kiss the Bride (2011)
I Loved It!
This film is just those films that has everything in it -- like Comedy, Romance, Action and adventure. The acting is also good, I am a big fan of American Idol and Smash so I know that Katharene McPhee will be just great on this Romantic/Comedy film. Dave Annable on the other hand was a surprise. Watched him on 666 Park Ave and I've never thought his acting would be that convincing for his character on this film. The storyline is simple but you'll get hooked to it. I don't know why the rating for this film here on IMDb is so low. I gave it a 9 because it made me fall in love with the characters. Just give it a try, if you're a fan of romantic/comedy films, Im sure you'll love this too.
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)
Good VS Bad
Contrary to the common "Snow White" that we know, Snow White & the Huntsman showed that she's not a damsel in distress. The movie's storyline is a matured approach to the fairy tale with a 'Lord of the Rings' kind of feel throughout the film.
As expected, I see no difference to Kristen Stewart's acting of the title role to that of Bella Swan from Twilight. Most of the 'believable' acting came from the other two lead actors, Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman and Chalize Theron as Ravenna, the Evil Queen.
While watching, I was seriously waiting for some Disney 'Snow White' elements like the seven dwarfs, red apple of death and the famous 'kiss of true love' from Prince Charming. In this film, all the elements were there, although some new characters and twist thrown in the story line (like for example the love triangle) was not given enough emphasis and depth.
I didn't particularly liked the 'tragic' ending where I was left wondering if a victorious revenge but a true love lost will make Snow White happy ever after. (Geesh, SO MUSHY!). I'm not really a big fan of open-ended love story.
My rating: 7/10 Stars.
Megamind (2010)
Very Entertaining Movie.
Megamind is not only funny and entertaining to watch, but its also touching and 'smartfully' written. I love how they've shown the good versus bad throughout the story.
There's not a moment when I was bored watching it. The humor is superb!
It also shows emotional connection with the viewers. At certain mushy parts, I was actually able to relate to some of the lines and spiels of some of the characters.
This is not an average family movie. It is masterfully created to cater to all ages.
I give it - 10 Stars.
