The Internship Movie Review

Thanks to Nuffnang and Churpchurp once again. So lucky to win myself 4 pair of tickets ^^

Without furtherado, i will first say that, this movie is awesome!

Synopsis: 

THE INTERNSHIP stars Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn as salesmen whose careers have been torpedoed by the digital world. Trying to prove they are not obsolete, they defy the odds by talking their way into a coveted internship at Google, along with a battalion of brilliant college students. But, gaining entrance to this utopia is only half the battle. Now they must compete with a group of the nation’s most elite, tech-savvy geniuses to prove that necessity really is the mother of re-invention.

      Release Date: 12 Sep 2013 

Language:English 

Genre:Comedy 

Running Time: 119 minutes 

Director:Shawn Levy 

Cast:Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Rose Byrne, Max Minghella

 

Opinion:

The internship sure brings lots of laughter to the audience! one of the part will be the so call "professor" part. This show do tell us that we should not give up on our dreams or goals, hard work do pay off. Hence, its fun to watch the left out group among all the interns to fight with the other teams for a permanent job in Google. Each members in Owen Wilson's team have their own charms. Through this movie, you can see how awesome Google office is *blink blink eyes*. No wonder why everyone want to work in Google

 Once again, thanks Nuffnang for the movie premiere passes! 

Release Date: 

22 Aug 2013  

Genre:

Action 

Running Time: 

109 minutes

 Director:

Neill Blomkamp 

Cast:

Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga, Diego Luna, William Fichtner, Wagner Moura

Trailer:

Synopsis: 

In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) will stop at nothing to preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium – but that doesn't stop the people of Earth from trying to get in by any means they can. Max (Matt Damon) agrees to take on a life-threatening mission, one that could bring equality to these polarized worlds.

The movie begins with the year of 2154 whereby Earth was totally ruined and full of lower class people. Whereas, there are superb wealthy people who live in the space known as Elysium.

can you see the difference? All the Eathlings tried so hard to get to Elysium by paying so much for passes and residential ID as they want to escape from poverty, crimes and to get medical care (there's machine in Elysium that can cure all sort of sickness or disabilities). One day, Max accidentally being trapped and being exposed to radioactive ray. The only way for him to survive is to get into Elysium to get treated by the machine. He seek for Spider's help and in return, Spider wants him to get the codes of a billionaire, John Carlyle. 

On the other hand, Elysium also do have political issue whereby, Secretary Delacourt aims on the president position of Elysium. She hired Kruger to help her on her missions. There starts the battle between Elysium, Kruger and Max, Spider.

Opinion:

In most parts of the movie, i felt quite bored actually. There are some parts which involves action between Max and his team with Kruger and his team. I like to see the action between Kruger and Max, it's the part i think is interesting. So i would say that this movie is normal only. But this is just my opinion for the movie, some of you or most of you might think it's an awesome movie

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones Movie Review

Thanks to Nuffnang for this awesome movie premiere passes at GSC, Mid Valley!

From what i know is that The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is a young adult novel, so i would assume that it's gonna be interesting. Scroll down for more info

Release Date: 22 Aug 2013 

Genre: Action (P13)

Running Time: 130 minutes 

Director: Harald Zwart 

Cast:Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower, Lena Headey, Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Trailer:

Synopsis: 

Based on The New York Times bestselling young adult novel, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones follows the journey of Clary Fray (Mirror Mirror’s Lily Collins), a seemingly ordinary teenager who discovers that she is in fact a descendant from a long line of Shadowhunters, a secret cadre of half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect our world from assorted demons; a battle largely unseen by human eyes.

So the whole thing starts from Clary, an ordinary girl who frequently draw a shape of Rune and saw a shape of Rune sometimes where her friend, Simon couldn't see. Then her mother went missing after being attacked by the demons. Clary was then protected and being cared by Jace, a ShadowHunter. Soon, Clary joined the group of remaining ShadowHunters (Demon Fighters) in The Institute to seek for the Mortal Cup before the demons get it. Of course, at the same time looking for Clary's Mother.

Opinion:

For me, i do think that this movie is good but it need some improvements. On the bright side, this movie contain some scenes which are humorous. Hence, it involves a love triangle. However, i do think that some parts of the movie, they did not explain or resolve viewers thought (maybe it's just me and my friend who have some question marks after the movie). While there's also a part about Simon, they did not show what happen to him after bitten by vampire.

However, I think girls will like this movie. If they have done a better storyline, i will rate it higher ^^

The Purge Movie Review

Once again thanks for Churpchurp for a pair of churpremiere vip passes. 

Director:

James DeMonaco

Cast:

Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Rhys Wakefield, Max Burkholder, Adelaide Kane

Movie Genre:

Horror, Thriller 

Running Time:

85 minutes

Release Date:

22 August 2013

Trailer:

Synopsis: 

If on one night every year, you could commit any crime without facing consequences, what would you do? In The Purge, a speculative thriller that follows one family over the course of a single night, four people will be tested to see how far they will go to protect themselves when the vicious outside world breaks into their home.

Opinion:

First of all, I will say that the boy was way too naive to disarming their house security system to save a guy from being purge *I was actually so damn piss off on that boy the moment when he key in the passcode piff*. Then, the nightmare for the Sandin's family begins. On the other hand, before the annual purge event happen. I managed to predict what that person will do to them. Overall, i think that this movie was not a good horror movie. It is also stupid to have the annual Purge thingy. I just can't imagine any countries really do have this Purge thingy. It's insane.

Percy Jackson Sea Of Monsters Movie Review

Finally the movie which i have been waiting for is showing soon! Percy Jackson!! After 2010, Percy Jackson The lightning thief, 2013, it shows the adventure of Percy Jackson and his friends to the Golden Fleece!

 Thanks to ChurpChurp for this awesome movie premiere

Release Date: 08 Aug 2013

Genre:Action / Adventure / Drama / Family / Fantasy

Running Time: 105 minutes

Director:Thor Freudenthal

Cast:Logan Lerman, Brandon T. Jackson, Alexandra Daddario

Movie Trailer

Synopsis:
Based on the best-selling book, PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS continues the young demigod’s epic journey to fulfill his destiny. To save their world, Percy and his friends must find the fabled and magical Golden Fleece. Embarking on a treacherous odyssey into the uncharted waters of the Sea of Monsters, they battle terrifying creatures, an army of zombies, and the ultimate Evil.

Opinion:

Through this movie, we get to know how the demgod's world are protected. The character of Tyson actually brings fun to this movie. But it would have been more interesting if the battle between Percy Jackson and the Kronos become more intense. Somehow Sea of Monsters enables us to learn something by highlighting that we should not be stereotype or discriminate others which are different than us (For example Tyson case). I do think that it isn't necessary to watch it in 3D, as there are much more movies which are worth watching with 3D compare to this movie *Just my own opinion*

The Smurfs 2 Movie Review

The Smurfs 2 is back in screen after 2 years! It's definitely a must watch for kids as it's a comedy and cartoon movie! it's definitely their cup of tea! Thanks to Nuffnang Malaysia, i got 2 exclusive passes to The Smurfs 2 Premier Screening!

Running Time: 105 minutes

Director:Raja Gosnell

Cast:Neil Patrick Harris, Brendan Gleeson, Jayma Mays, Sofia Vergara, etc

Watch the official trailer here!

Synopsis:
In this sequel to the hybrid live action/animated family blockbuster comedy The Smurfs, the evil wizard Gargamel creates a couple of mischievous Smurf-like creatures called the Naughties that he hopes will let him harness the all-powerful, magical Smurf-essence. But when he discovers that only a real Smurf can give him what he wants, and only a secret spell that Smurfette knows can turn the Naughties into real Smurfs, Gargamel kidnaps Smurfette and brings her to Paris, where he has been winning the adoration of millions as the world¹s greatest sorcerer. It's up to Papa, Clumsy, Grouchy, and Vanity to return to our world, reunite with their human friends Patrick and Grace Winslow, and rescue her! Will Smurfette, who has always felt different from the other Smurfs, find a new connection with the Naughties Vexy and Hackus ¬ or will the Smurfs convince her that their love for her is True Blue? Returning cast includes Neil Patrick Harris, Jayma Mays, Sofia Vegara, Hank Azaria as Gargamel and Katy Perry as Smurfette. Brendan Gleeson joins the cast as Victor Winslow.

Opinion:

For me, i do think that it's quite funny and entertaining when it comes to scene of Gargamel and his cat, Azarel scene. It's like one of the highlight of the funny part of this movie. Hence, I actually like the scenes of Smurfette and naughties (Vexy and Hackus) being naughty. It is also entertaining and something different that the other three smurfs that followed papa to save Smurfette are different compare to The Smurfs 1. Different Smurfs have their own uniqueness. Overall i do think that it is a worth watching movie for kids and parents. Maybe teenagers and adults too lol.

3/5
