Interstellar (2014)
1/10
Over predicted, shambolic, its a scam
17 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
You might think that with all the IMDB ratings and with the title itself being interstellar, you are going for a wild space ride. You are wrong.

Extremely boring slow paced, over dramatic, unproven theories, same old father daughter over acting dialogs. I am speechless with the positive ratings. Might just watch nightmare on elmstreet which another movie that doesn't make much sense. Yes I know they are just movies. But this one carries the space title.

Its a movie that tries hard to prove Einstein's time and relativity theories right lol. No disrespect to Einstein himself. The whole movie will consist of confusing twists and turns. Things that will never happen in real life. Though they still try hard in the end to make Matthew McConaughey look like a time travelling demon. Got the demon part right though. You will despise him in the end.

Unless you're into these sort of flicks though.. now that's another thing. If you're a Alien or Mission to mars type of person. Stay away from this seriously. This is more like a snail paced after earth thingy which was another horror in the making. Or you could compare it to Melancholia though the plot is difference, the boringness has the resemblance.

Like I said, might just better off watching nightmare on elmstreet or gremlins. It wouldn't matter.

Sicario (2015)
10/10
Mother of all OPS movie combined
21 November 2023
Where do I start, no words.

Emily Blunt is the Angel of Verdun indeed. She does not act, she is literally the person in the character. Top that with her beauty, its just mesmerizing.

Josh and Benecio my goodness. They lived and breathed their characters. Jeffrey Donovan just tops the missing pieces off. Even the bad guys

The plot itself, from beginning to the end, you're not allowed to get up from you seat.

This movie tops the lot of all the cop / special ops movies from the 80s to present. Don't know how they came up with such a storyline and direction. Yeah don't stop here, go ahead and watch the part 2 as well. Which is another masterpiece.

If this does not win any Oscar, then Hollywood is a fake.

Garbage, stay away from this or you'll be sorry
20 November 2023
I don't know how hollywood keep messing things up with sequels and prequels. I guess they are doing these just to get that 1 or 2 weeks of ticket sales and hope for luck.

You'd know the younger the generations would be spending money the moment they see the Equalizer title.

Denzel should stop making himself looking like a clown for the legend he is.

Same old same old, I would forgive part 2 since that one had a much more direct motive for his buffet killings. It was bad nonetheless.

This is just unforgivable. Over dramatic unnecessary scenes, random motives, pointless plot, same killings, the corkscrew was the victim again. I guess it become some kind of his trademark move. Its just plain bad.

The only positive thing about this one was Dakota Fanning all grown up and beautiful. Give her better roles please, I believe she can deliver.

Joker (I) (2019)
10/10
Wakeup call
6 November 2023
This movies will relate to those who are hurt with the hypocrisy of the so called modern society. It reflects the double standards which are always applied to the less fortunate. It might just make you question your believes in a very sensible manner despite all the disturbing scenes you might encounter.

There are people in this world who just wants to live their lives without being bothered by anyone. A fraction of attention, appreciation, compassion would do for them. We are talking miniscule here. But they are ridiculed nonetheless.

You start watching it, you'll be in the Joker's shoes right till the end.

gotta be king of flops
15 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
You won't come across another movie that has no purpose as this one. Tops the lots I must say. Its a wonder how it has 6.4 rating on IMDB. People must have lost their minds. Thank God it didn't ruin black panther's career. The first 30 minutes of the movie will get you all excited. Then comes the massacre.

There's no plot or twist in it. It just becomes meaningless and stupid as it goes. Not so intelligent avenger, dumb cops, the usual high profile mafia wannabes only on the dumb side of things, dull politician, no motive, too much cliche. I can go on and on. Its not worth it.

Oh, it has nothing to do with any king by the way. don't be fooled by the synopsis either, hell even the promo poster. Chadwick Boseman is a good actor don't get me wrong. Love his African accent in movies. He was probably trying this flick to get somewhere in Hollywood mainstream and that's all I can assume. Hope he picks and chooses better plots since he is already at the prime time at the moment.

Alright peeps, the usual, don't waste your time on this. Get some gardening going or spend some time in a bowling alley but for this ludicrous. Take Care. Peace.

Code Red
20 July 2019
I can't bring myself to think that this flick is at 7.7 and not 10. Seriously people?

The Climax scenes alone worth every Grammy or Oscar in the world. You know why, because it never got better than this for all the actors. Tom probably did a similar job in War Of The Worlds, Jack probably in As Good as it gets. Demi? You can leave her out of everything related to acting. This was probably THE highlight of her entire acting career and yet somehow she almost ruined this film. Though Kevin Bacon had a minor role, he nailed his role which was also an intense factor of this movie. Guess what? Kiefer Sutherland is in this too with a decent role.

The courtroom dialogues are intelligent, its always intense and scary even when you watch it a million times. I don't know how they did it till today. We need more of this in every 10 years at least. Carefully thought, written, acted, and directed.

Definitely in my top 3 list forever.

Rambo (2008)
10/10
Rambo Revealed Finally
9 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I thought first blood was a bit dark, Stallones acting was just superb in that one. The rest were just typical 80's clowns in that movie.

after that, the 2nd and 3rd were just dull and mainstream. Just followed the trend of missing in action aside chuck norris with POW and stuff. There were few more others. besides conan the barbarian, commando made its mark thanks to these 1 man war movies. Really made Arnold famous for us Asians. We were war movie addicts back then.

Ok about this one, I think this is what Stallone and the writer had in mind all along. This was one is the best Rambo yet with so much pure and simple gore in it. Almost like a slasher movie. So much blood, the story line revealed what Rambo is all about rather than who he is. to make it simple, Rambo is like the modern day saint. But he's got some serious weapons with him.

If you're looking for build ups and endings, forget it. You watch this to let go of your anger and hatred towards some really bad personnel and unfortunately, the Asians were the culprits again.

Don't miss this one, Action and Gore is written all over it. Like I said, its the best Rambo yet.

Venom (2018)
10/10
venomously funny :D
5 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
To start off, I think the casting crew did a pretty good job on hiring these bunch of people to play their respective roles.

I love how the movie moved forward as a comedy flick rather a seriously looking venom thing. Didn't know Venom was an anti hero. Always thought hes like spiderman's evil enemy. It would be great to see those two in a flick in near future. This movie was very well written and acted, don't be fooled with the fans rating on IMDB, I think the younger generation are tasteless who would rate something like wonder woman higher than this, or perhaps that lame chris hemsworth wannabe aquaman.

I love the fact that these superhero flicks moving towards being funny and fun to watch. Venom character/voice over was wonderful seriously. laughed the whole way while watching this. :D . Thor Ragnarok, The Predator (2018), and now this. They were all funny. I'm starting to enjoy movies again. Its been a while. I think even Jurassic World part 2 did well too after they blundered the first one.

No more of ben afflecks batman or ben affleck himself, no more henry cavill alien man of steel nonsense please. They belong in the trash and not worth in any collection. I would forgive wonder woman if she was not in fast & furious. Should have given the character to someone as prominent as emily blunt.

Anyway this is an easy 8.5 people and that is watchable over & over again.

Surpassed the first one, very watchable
9 December 2018
I can't believe these fake ratings. The first jurassic world back in 2015 was a horror in reality circumstances, period. And that one has a score of 7.5 somehow. who rates this crap?

This one however, was so much watchable at has a rating of 6.2 only. Bloody hell unbelievable. This is easily an 8. This was more fun than JP 3. Had more value to the story and the acting were way improved. Action was good, story line was very decent and intriguing to watch. I hope there is more to come. Byrce Dallas Howard somehow carried the burden on her shoulder and did well since Spiderman 3.

That's why this is easily an 8 star, these were not top notch actors/actress and they did a pretty decent job and were stuck to the plot and gave some respect to the original JP acting.

Don't be fooled by the ratings and watch this over and over again. Love the improvements over the first one.

World War Z (2013)
5/10
zombies are beaten again
9 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
He beats the crap out zombies without getting infected even in tight situations. They bite him at the right places where he wears them self made gears. pretty much sums up the entire movie. It was kinda bland the movie even the family values. The most pathetic part would be how the genius boy who figured out part of the possible vaccine ends up falling down and does himself. His role was pretty pathetic in the entire history of hollywood movies. If the army can make crappy tactical attempts like that. then the human race deserves to get bitten by all of them zombies. But no.. the Brad Pitt family survives in the middle of all these somehow. The action is worth watching though

Impossible to watch
9 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I think Tom Cruise should seriously consider to quit this franchise. Its the same old plot from the previous ones. Its either nuclear or something to do with stuff like plutonium. I don't see the difference between these series and the James Bond ones only that those require a Brit to portray the impossible character. The idea of John Wick was way better but Wick 2 was disappointing.

Its becoming ridiculous when you see its always about Tom Cruise in the movie. Its nothing to do with Mission Impossible. He gets beaten by one single Asian guy and the next minute he is beating up 5-6 trained killers like nobody's business. Its just awful and sickening. Then the shot where his bike starts at the last minute so the bad guys could catch up to take some shots which of course magically they miss with all that guns at peril. Not to mention how rides through the city in opposite direction so smoothly and meets an accident which has no whatsoever effect on him. Who's the Superman here? Cavill or Cruise?

I'm surprised that this got above 5 star ratings. Cruise in cruise control with his impossible fans. Its just sad that instead of his talents, its the people around him that tries to make him look good still. The man is losing it. Should start considering softer or matured roles in a movie. Maybe a Lawyer or something. We are missing those sort genre for a very long time now. Its all CGI and so on which is belittling the acting talents.

I gave a 4 star just for the sake of the Impossible Mission indeed, it was impossible to watch anyway.

Bad Boys (1983)
10/10
Sean Penn's Best Yet
26 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I still watch this every now and then. To me this is still Sean Penn's best work yet. You could argue about Mystic River, but this one is something else. The heartily emotions and bad@ss faces he produced in this movie is just Intriguing. The love scene when he breaks out and went for JC still makes me cry. There weren't any unnecessary conversations, it portrayed the love of two struggling teenagers in a very noble way possible. It was heart touching than many other 2 hour romantic movies to date. The team did a great job on most of the scenes. Its not really a bad boy movie. If you're into teenage family drama , This is for you. If you're not into sentimental drama, this movie is still for you lol . Don't miss this one, its gem of generations and to come.

ridiculously underrated
22 April 2018
This was the thing back then. When this first came out in Malaysia, it was an instant hit among the kids. I was a Teen and even I was into it.

I'm actually quite surprised to see the rating at 6.1 on IMDB. Some of the ratings here are not justified. This is easily an 8. The comedy and the dialogues in this movie are very intelligent. Both from the actors and voice overs . I think they've put in the hard work and it was very well thought out.

Didn't knew who kirsten dunst was back then but I thought she was quite cute. Just knew her from Jumanji and thats it.

Trust me, the ratings are not what it seems to be. This flick is better than 90% of the crap that came out throughout the year 2017 -2018. It has the good old 90's family values, decent action, a good story line and a pretty interesting ending. Don't miss out on this if you haven't watched it. You won't regret it.

Wish there was a part 2 since the ending was left interesting. But the current hollywood would mess it up dear God.

10/10 from myself

Family Values In A Robot
12 April 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This gotta be one of the best animated movies I have ever watched in my entire life of movie watching. You can watch this over and over again without getting bored. And every time I have watched, it makes me cry the ending.

How an intelligent life from outer space is displayed within a robot that has a soul is indeed a fascinating idea on whoever wrote this. We should have more of this in the current era seriously. This, Ratatouille, WALL-E and The Incredibles. They have similarities of a nice evening of drama in fantasy.

Don't miss out on any of them and show your kids this warm stuff.

Jurassic Park (1993)
10/10
Masterpiece Defined
26 March 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This is like the Mother of all movies as similar to Aliens. Nothing beats them really. Its nothing about the genre. I mean its just a great movie that would not get bored watching it over a 100 times. I personally did.

I don't know how much CGI or green screen were involved. But the work they've put on this movie is just speechless. The animatronics they've used for the dinos were just beyond realistic. The set was simply superb. Personified so to say. You could almost feel like the dinos were really there and all these given it was just 1993.

All the actors did a great job of moving along with the Dinos. The only black spot was Laura Dern. I don't know who did the casting for her, that person should have been fired. She was just terrible throughout the whole movie. cheap dialogues, useless jokes, over dramatic screaming. She annoyed the crap out of me. Almost spoiled the damn thing. Thank God for Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill. They covered Laura's disaster. Seriously Lex and Tim did a way better job.

We still remember the tour they did going around the world setting up them dino-tronics inside a park which was incredible. I was a kid back then and I found it amusing to the core and I still do. I got to see them actual thing in front of my eyes. Not to mention the video game promos, toys and other stuff. It was just a great feeling overall.

I'm sure the whole team made some serious cash over the movie and the promos. All that and it was really sad to watch when they made fun of the movie with "Jurassic World" a few years ago. They should be sued really.

Anyway, nothing to comment about Sir Spielberg and John Williams. You already know who they are. This is a great movie, deserves a 10/10. Don't matter if you're watching alone or with your family.

Good Riddance to the past
23 March 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I haven't seen a single dumbest mainstream military operation which has been carried out in movies with steven seagal in it. Never want to know who the writer is.

I mean everything goes wrong, literally everything. I can't believe they killed steven seagal half way through after all that macho BS in the beginning of the movie. That is quite a statement and the beginning of the end. Then the bomb expert falls over like little red riding hood and breaks his neck. Come on..

Of course the typical 90's C movie comical suspense scenes. They are all over the movie. I watched half way through and shut down everything because I couldn't bear it anymore.

This movie will make Passenger 57 look like Oscar Nominee. Yep its that bad. don't trust the IMDB rating with the 6.4 stars. Anything above 6 should be decent to watch and I wouldn't bother writing here on how bad they are. This movie gave me an idea to write on IMDB so some people can save their precious time instead watching this. God bless us all.

True Love Defined
12 March 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The miles an unwanted woman by the society goes for , for the sake of love in her own unorthodox way. The title and mood of the movie might suggest that this is a mysterious crime thriller. Partly it is. But truly the movie portrays solely about a girl who is young in age but very matured and sincere in every way that people could hardly imagine. Don't judge a book by its cover applies very blatantly here. The character that "Rooney Mara" played is more than a woman despite her looks. The Dragon Tattoo girl is very very intelligent too. A girl whom is so sensitive that she is almost emotionless knowing how the world is.

I wish there was a prequel on how she was left to become of what she is. There was so much hidden pain and concern in the girl throughout the whole movie despite the search for the victims. Watch this and feel it people. It might just open your imagination towards a woman within a whole new world.

Again, sequels and prequels please.

Absolutely Comical Marvel!
24 February 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I haven't wrote in IMDB for years now but I just had to write for this one. I've seen some seriously comical movies in my life during the 90's e.g. the wedding singer or so to say most of adam sandler movies. Nothing funnier than them really. But I did not expect this masterpiece just overtook them all. There must be a God up there for presenting this movie to Taika Waititi where he made a superhero movie into a comedy GEM! Not to mention the action and the story was very much impressive. All the actors must have loved working with this guy that they really gave it all to make the movie so much fun to watch. Us fans needed this seriously!!!!! After a horror of superhero era where everything was same and dull. Thor: Ragnarok is a masterpiece that everyone should watch. My favorite character in this movie OF COURSE Korg!! He caught me every time he showed up!!! I'm still laughing my AO while writing this. THANK YOU Taika Waititi!!!!!

A Tale of Darkness in Wonder
10 September 2016
A tale of darkness that was made to be wondered. You would not come across another dark movie that you would consider to shred some tears. I don't know if the story could have been told better, but this one is almost perfect. Love created the evil in him of whom already has the courage to slaughter a 1000 men. Love does indeed creates the evil in all of us. For those who are seeking a tale of love and its pain, this shall turn into a feast for you. Love the story, love the acting, love the cast, love the ending. This is something all should watch for a little bit of idea on truth and fiction. Of what one would do at the cost of love.

TAKEN meets 2012 , shamefully shambolic
27 August 2015
Warning: Spoilers
The moment you hear that dwayne johnson was the star of this movie, you would have already guessed something is fishy. don't get me wrong, he was a legend in WWE and had crazy mic skills and i loved him back then. His first two major movies, run down and walking tall were actually impressive for a wrestler. I enjoyed that two but after that its just down hill and movie massacre and thats that.

As far as this movie is concerned. You can skip this right from the beginning through how they maneuver a copter within the mountains is just banana's. I already had the feeling that this was going to get horrible as it progresses and i was right. Of course, his wife is always going to survive everything major that was going to hit her and dywane was always going to save her despite his copter getting f'ed up. And of course the daughter, she was going to survive too being trapped underground in a building while the fantastic duo somehow manages to save her while everyone else dies.

The family values in this movie resembles the famous TAKEN, and the disastrous effects resembles somewhat of the movie 2012 which was horrible itself. This is a classic example of what used to be "B" movies those days are being displayed as blockbusters these days. Because CGI's got better.. it survives somehow with a surprising 6.5 rating on IMDb. I wonder what is wrong with people and movie lovers

Stop making making fun of us
25 July 2015
Warning: Spoilers
First they made fun off Aliens and Predators with that good for nothing requiem. Now they have made it blockbuster of a mockery with Jurassic World. Cheap dialogue, useless comedy, terrible actors (literally all of them including the soul-less dinosaurs), 10 cents worth of a plot that probably any of us could come up with while in the loo.

Not only that, they made fun of the old JP logo and jeep with those kids who decided to have a little fun when a horrific monster was trying to attack them. Of course, of course.. they made it out alive with a little bit of a humor along the way. This movie was made not to be a movie so that we could remember, but to make the quick bucks using the ever strong JP precedence.

I wonder where is Hollywood heading allowing this certain mockeries to take place in the name of sequels and remakes. This gotta stop at some point. Stop making fun of legendary movies. It is sad really. You don't have to watch this is you are a Jurassic Park fan. You won't regret it trust me.

No more Transformers please
26 September 2011
Warning: Spoilers
maybe some of you would hate me, but this movie is one of the worse movies i've seen in many years. Overcooked with the 99% of the movie ripped off from the 1st and 2nd but terribly written at the worst kind.

The only difference is, Megan Fox replaced with a blonde chick running around with her tight thing all over the movie which was annoying to the ultimate. All the sudden from nowhere, Sam Witwicky is all over this blonde bimbo and ready to die for her after all the sugar love dialogues he poured on Megan Fox previous parts. It was pathetic.

Optimus Prime was made to look like a dumb robot and shia labeouf needs to save his acting career.

Same jokes, same action, almost same dialogues etc... better off watching the 1st part which was way more entertaining.Seriously stop making transformers movies for the sake of weekend millions.

And lastly to people who haven't watched this, stay away and thank me.

Save your lives with some attitude
22 September 2011
Warning: Spoilers
A simple summary to the movie

The whole of California (yeah, thats cali baby) is going down under extreme circumstances resulting from a major world wide catastrophic events killing millions prob.. But for few people with attitude problems to fly away with style (you'll know when you see it) i'm sorry but it did happen.

If this is the end on the world or half of it.. then its best for you people to start believing in aliens from outer space or perhaps THE Anunakis from the planet Nibiru because.. despite all your skepticism and denials.. they might come in handy in year 2012 instead flying away with a private jet while avoiding catastrophic collisions with some style added to it. (james bond stuff)

I gave a 4 simply for some entertaining CGIs. But that's about it. the rest is up to you.

demons are made dumb
22 September 2011
Warning: Spoilers
how do you kill A demon, or demons for all you know?

drown them or better yet, drown them trapped inside a car while enjoying the sunrise. Because despite all the supernatural abilities they possess e.g flying-make you fly, moving like THE flash, breaking down walls etc..you know what i'm talking about right?

They lack the ability to swim that a 1 year old might be capable of. Yep you got me clear, they can't swim FFS period. The msg was clear from either the writer or the director. Simply brilliant, I got it alright.

The build up and the anticipation to the story was almost predictable. It wasn't even scary despite some cheap common CGI tricks.

Stay away from this unless you wanna get your heart broken as a horror fan. Enough said.
