OK, another reality game movie that make use of death roll prisoners as player control by avid gamer in a combat virtual world. Winner of 30 game will win their freedom. Used to watch other similar films like Tournament, Death Race, Battle Royale, etc. This does not worth any special mention. It also consist of a “2nd Life” look alike game call “society” in the film. Human create a character and control them virtually in the virtual society. The message I got from the film: If we continue to depend on social networking tools we are gonna one day be control by the system and become the slave for technology.
My Verdict: 2/5 (Nothing Special…)
What a fresh new way to make a zombie movie. A film make to teach you how to survive in Zombieland. Follow the rules and you will increase the chance of surviving. Massive and good use of high speed camera shot, especially for the scene of turning a gift shop upside down. A number of “retro” spoof of old horror films like ghostbuster and clown. A show not just purely killing zombies but love, family and friendship places a huge part in the storyline. Really like this zombie film. Unique and funny!
My Verdict: 4/5 (Good and Entertaining)
Crow Zero II, the second part for Crow Zero by the renown japanese director Takashi Miike. Reputable for his hardcore, bloody and gross films. A hardcore fighting movie between school gangs. A very animated style of making this film due to the fact that this film is made based on a comic novel… Much more better the it’s first part. Now the gangs who used to be Enemies became friends to fight new Enemies… Isn’t it cool? This film is nothing but super hardcore fighting, blood and bruises! These fighter just never give up, never dies, they seems to have infinite stamina and strengths. Haha… comics…
My Verdict: 3.5/5 (Good Hardcore action Flick)
Watched this lovely simple movie with my dear yesterday afternoon… It is a really nice and simple piece of independent love story film… I like the way the story of the film is structured in a 500 days timeline where audience is being brought forward and back in time. I got to say that the way the story is told is the most creative and interesting stuff I get out from the film… The story itself is not that good… kind of monotonous if not for the creative way of telling it…
My Verdict: 2.5/5 (Again, Good way of telling a story… Yap! That’s All…)
Been very free recently, waiting for calls for interview… Keep updating my blog… keep watching movies… Haha… Finally I got to watch this classic war movie… Platoon by Oliver Stone… It is such a cool movie made in 1986… Got a chacne to see the young look of some of the reknown actors… William Dafoe, Charlie Sheen, john Mcginley… Best of all is Johnny Depp… I knew he was casted in the film but I cannot spot him!!!! Cos he is damn young and you can’t recognise him… og my god… did he go korea for a face lift? Nevertheless this is a good classic war film about U.S and Vietnam. The other film that is similar to this I believe is We Were Soldier… Comparing both Platoon has more focus on soldiers feeling and humanity during war time as for We Were Soldier, it is more about glory and war tactics…
My Verdict: 4/5 (Classic, Truly Classic…)
