Avatar


Well, this movie took 15 years in the making and became one of the biggest movie of the year 2009. So, can this movie impress viewers? Yes, it already had.

James Cameron is a very good writer and director, he showed that in Avatar. The pacing of the story is a bit off the pace but as soon as the story progresses, the pace is back to normal. James Cameron done some great lengths to make the Na Vi's world, Pandora believable with scientific explanation and the motives of humans to have war against them there.

To cut the cost down, most of the actors and actresses in the movie, but those actors really played their part nicely. I really think the lead, Sam Worthington, could be a good actor after stealing the limelight from Christian Bale from Terminator Salvation and play lead role in this.

Well, we all wanted to see the movie because of the gorgeous graphics, especially with 3-D. Since the revival of 3-D, this is the most beautiful 3-D movie yet. The Pandora world is so realistic that I starting to believe the crew actually go there and shoot the movie. With coulourful objects and realistic CGI of Na Vi, the whole movie is purely CGI... And it is really gorgeous movie.

Besides the off pacing at the beginning of the movie, James Cameron has done it again to prove he is one of the best out there.

Verdict 4.8/5

Princess and the Frog


I've seen it, and my sis wanna kill me...

Anyway, I actually had no plans to watch this movie. Me and my friend was actually planning to go to Red Box for karaoke session, but we ended up watching this movie instead because Red Box was full.

I didn't like Disney's animations for past few years because I think some of them are pretty boring and doesn't have any good humour in it. But with Princess and the Frog, I like it!!! And I liked the decision Disney made to step back into traditional 2-D animations like The Lion King and Bambi.

The characters' are very lively and some of them are ridiculously funny, mixed with nice songs and musicals. The story also tells us about love and friends, not greed, the story also has a very good pace of development and you won't feel rushed or crawl like a turtle.

I want to review it more, but I might end up spoiling it. In the end, it's one of the best Disney's animations of the past few years.

Verdict: 4.5/5

The Best Disaster Porn Yet


I watched this on premiere but I really don't have time posting the review because of the 9 subjects I've been studying all month long...

2012 is a disaster movie based on the myth that the world will come to an end in 2012 (Don't panic, it is really a myth, no science has yet to prove that), and loosely referred to the Mayan prophecy. The cast is basically made up of actors and actresses I never heard before, besides John Cusack, but in the end, the cast and their acting never got any big impact on these kind of movies anyway.

The plot is pretty much dumb, it's like the director have I-don't-what-you-think-of-the-story moment when he wrote it. So, the plot and story pretty much revealed at the trailers and the beginning of the movie, the world will end, many people die, most of the cast survive the freaking disaster... Anyone wants Academy Award winning potential movie? No, this is not for you...

What is the main recipe for a disaster movie? Hmmm... Oh, disasters!!! Well, the director, Roland Emmerich (disaster movies expert) has gone great length to make the disasters in 2012 so epic in sizes, the whole city came down, tsunamis all over the place blah, blah, blah... I am impressed with what I saw in the theathers, because I am a disaster movies fan. I like disaster movies because I like the whole city torn apart and the world is in chaos, those scenarios are never gonna happen in that size and disaster movies fueled my imagination. And the best part is, the size of the disasters in this movie might be the biggest yet in motion picture history. With good CGI touch, unbelievable...

So, in the end, nothing matter in disaster movies... Just disasters with enormous size is going to satisfy viewers. With disasters at it biggest size yet, the biggest disaster porn so far...

Verdict: 4/5
