Cinema also showing dua abang "Tom" punya wayang mar. Tak minat? Haha

Abang Tom Ham - Inferno
Abang Tom Kurus - Jack Reacher 2

Abang Kurus, not so Kurus this time round...

Watched Jack reacher... Uhh disappointing. Very average movie. Total shit if compared to the first 1. Hope they not planning to make a series out of this like Mission impossible or James bond kinda thing

Under the Shadow - A pretty watchable adult drama/horror flick.

As a horror movie, it's not breaking any new ground. Story wise it shows a side of Iran that we've not seen before. Performance and film direction on point to tell a somewhat decent horror flick. Tonally it reminds me of a slower Babadook that plays with maternal angst in dealing with their kid/children. So the slow burn treatment justifying whether it's happening in her mind or not. Can't help it to feel it didn't end the movie clean enough for me. If The Witch is your kind of thing, no harm to give this a watch. It's on US Netflix right now.

Erased - Ok movie but I don't like they changed the ending 6/10

waiting for live by night , silence and Arrival..

Good list 👍💪 Don't miss out Mel Gibson's new movie too 😎

Hell or Highwater - That hidden gem amidst the mindless blockbusters.

The star of the film is the shining script of Taylor Sheridan. It's the delicate character building balance with a burst of reality violence. Jeff Bridges and Ben Forster got totally lost in their roles while Chris Pine foregoing the blockbuster leading man status to narrate a reimagining of a western movie in the modern era. It's not just a straight crime caper but also an effective social commentary on the less fortunate falling prey to a debt dependent loop fueled by corporate banks. Instead of magnifying the pitch idea of robbing banks to avoid foreclosure on their property, it focus on the terrific character study with a satisfying story narrative. Can't wait to see where Taylor Sheridan would go next.

I wonder what is thursday special after the shocking turn around in the election today

Special arrr.... Alec Baldwin gonna get a lot offers as American presidents in movies lor lol....

Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk

It is a slow burner. So dont expect to watch a war movie because action scenes (that r supposedly in 120fps, but local cinemas dont support the format anyway, so yea ) are few and far between. It picks up the pace in the 2nd half followed by a great 3rd act, but at the end of the day, it isnt as rewarding as it could have been. The movie focuses on PTSD, and ang lee did an okay job with the subject. Most of the emotional weight is carried by the newcomer star who plays the main character. He did a good job.

Overall it was a decent movie. Not ang lee's best, but not his worst either. 7/10 from me.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)

Gosh, how am I to review this...

Truth to be told, the Harry Potter books got me back into reading books...

Then the movies came about, and they were actually decent adaptation of the books!

So, in short, I read all 7 books, and have to admit, I have not read the Fantastic Beast and Where to find Them... It is a thin book...

And I understand they are making a couple of this???!!!

Let me do it this way

The Good

I am NOT a fan of Eddie Redmayne. I understand he had won awards for his works, and I cannot remember being drawn by his acting skills... Until now...


Warner, hoping for another cash cow, spared no expense, and the production is GORGEOUS!

The Bad

Because it is a Warner Production, this HAS TO take place in America... Sigh...

They even introduced an American School of magic... Groan x 2....

The Ugly

Apart from Newt Scamander (and vaguely at that) there is HARDLY any character development!!?!

This also suffers from what I call "The Hobbit Syndrome". meaning, reference material, a story does not make!!!

So, certain parts were spectacular, others...

Think i be watching soon

It is not bad, just wish it lives up to it's name, fantastic...

I watched The Girl with All Gifts today. It is much better than Fantastic Beast. 7/10

Next week SKY ON FIRE. Can't wait.

Ex Machina (2015) - good science fiction.. but Nathan should build some security guard.. haha..
Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher (2014) - That Black Widow looked very sexy...

Loving - Expect to see more of this type of stories for the next coming 4 years.

Do not be overlooked by the melodrama nature of this type of movies. The timing and powerful performances couldn't come at a better time when the most powerful man come next year is allowing the idea of rolling time back to a period for divisiveness and discrimination. The context may be different but it doesn't mean it's irrelevant. Ruth Negga is amazing while Joel Edgerton does his continuing effort to play someone we haven't seen from him before. Nick Kroll successfully migrate to a dramatic actor given his meal ticket is comedy. Oscar race is on.
The funny thing is that a whole year of disappointing mainstream popcorn junks....the heavy hitters of Oscar movies are really abundant. Manchester by the sea, Arrival, Lalaland, Jackie, Silence, Moonlight...

Moana (2016)

How do I describe this movie in one word?

MASTERFUL

It is great to see Ron Clements (with Don Hall) who directed movies like movies The Little Mermaid (1989) & Aladdin (1992) back in the director chair!

Nice to see the Polynesian "myth" being used as the backdrop to this and it is used well.

Lilo and Stitch (2002) used Hawaii as the backdrop but not Polynesia myth!

Story Great.

Music Fantastic.

Casting Beautiful.

If you guys are hunting for a family outing movie, you can do no wrong with this!

May NOT be appreciated by small babies (there were a couple of them in the cinema when I watched this. There were a few wailing sessions (short [thank goodness] due to certain loud scenes) so please be advised.

Kids that are 4 yo and above should be fine.
