Parker
Story : Good!! Getting betrayed and revenge back
Action = Ok but its just lack of something,
Overall = 8/10 ,pretty good

Hotel Deluxe
Story : Quite boring but you will be ok with it,quite lots of funny jokes
Overall = 7/10

I love Hong Kong 2013

Overall = 3/10

SPIDERS(2013)

This movie is so-so only,dont go for this movie if you have a better movie to watch,lame acting,spiders animation is so "fake" and the story is confused somewhat why



anyway, 5 /10.

Wreck-It Ralph(2012)

I love this movie and I can see some cameos that reminds me my childhood. 8/10.

Watched a Chinese movie called Saving General Yang(2013) , a very good movie and full of actions in this movie,but one thing I dont like is the ending.

Watched another chinese movie called Drug Wars(2013) , a story driven movie, lack of actions but same as above,I dont like the ending as well

watched quite a few recently..here are my reviews

Rooftop(2013) - 9.5/10
-> A new movie directed by Jay Chou, it is an action+romance+musical+comedy movie, if you guys ever watched Les Miserable, this movie is similar to movie Les Miserable, listening to musics and lyrics is the point. Jay Chou is a composer,so you can assume how good all the OSTs will be. This movie has happy and sad moments. Very good and big improvements compare to previous movie Secret(last time the story advancing so slow). Even you are not a jay fan,I am sure you will enjoy the movie as well.

PS: honestly,based on the title named "Rooftop",people might assume it will be boring,I have this thought as well but it turn out very well,just ignore the word "rooftop" lol

Man of Steel(2013) 7/10
-> It is a Superman movie,this movie basically introduces superman background and how/why he became superman. The 1st 2 hours just introduction(talking,talking,talking),the last 30mins was a blast,better than the scenes in Avengers lol

Pacific Rim(2013) 9.8/10
-> Wow,I dont need to explain much on this one,JUST WATCH IT! I remembered the day I watched this trailer,I say it is a must to watch, a very very good movie, I enjoy from the beginning till the end. It would be better if production using some easy terms that can be understood by everyone.

RIPD(2013) 9/10
-> This movie is just like everyone said, Men in Black White version,you can expect lots of humor with funny conversation/scenes. This movie is entertaining. This movie would be better if more of different kinds/looks of "deado"

World War Z(2013) 9.5/10
-> Dont need to explain much in this movie too,JUST WATCH IT!

Lone Ranger(2013) 9.5/10
-> I thought this movie is boring but it turns out very very well,lots of humor and funny convertsation,sure PotC fans will watch it but if you are not PotC fans,I highly you watch it as well, it was enjoyable

so many great movies recently,I expect upcoming movies will be boring like the new percy jackson
I am looking forward to The Conjuring

Thank you everyone who posted reviews for new movies esepcially Mov_freak ,I read reviews here to decide what movies I should watch

The Conjuring (2013) - 9.5/10
-> Finally a real scary creepy movie is released,I have been waiting for this kind of horror movie and this is what horror movie should be like. I watched many horror movies and most are talk 1st then scare later,it just so boring but this movie is different,scare 1st then talk later. I highly suggest for those who likes horror movies,you must watch it in cinema to experience the feeling

PS: Dig some info about James Wan, James Wan origin is from Malaysia,he is the 1st director and writer for SAW series as he is the person started this movie franchise, you dont know how much I love SAW series, I love the SAW concept is the karma,you did bad things,you deserved to be tortured. Looking forward to his new movie production Fast 7 love James Wan works from now on XD

Oblivion (2013) - 3/10
-> I would like to thank god that I avoided this movie during showtimes,this movie is boring as expected from trailer. I just watched it after dled this today. The trailer shows all the action/shooting scenes. Thats all,no more additional action/shooting scenes from full movie. This movie is story driven just like Jack Reacher. Talking ATW. There are so many parts are quite slow and production team can shorten the film into 1.5hrs instead of 2hrs and this 1.5hrs wont even worth your time. You can skip this movie as you will not remember anything after watching full movie(except the scene where Tom and the girl who swimming in the see-through pool,maybe lol).

like Mov_freak said, just my 2 cents XD

next review will be Scary MoVie(2013) or Epic(2013).

----------------

my reviews are not good as you as you wrote details for every aspect/different points,I just write like a very simple short final one line conclusion for each movie haha
keep it up ya

I love Jack Reacher much more better as I am so curious about the character Jack Reacher(who,what,why,how), I wanted to keep it up to know more about him,even Jack Reacher is story driven(Talking ATW) but it was way better alot compare to Oblivion. Most scenes/plot in Oblivion are exactly what I expected,you can even confirmed what you were expecting are correct after listening to Morgan Freeman's explanation.

I give Jack Reacher(2012) - 8/10.

----

Different people has different scoring systems. I dont really rely on imdb scoring,I prefer user review instead of imdb scoring.
like wolverine(2013) , imdb scoring: 7.1 but then everyone said this movie is average only lol

my two cents ya

Horror Stories 2(2013) - 4/10
->It is a Korean movie and this movie is divided into 3 different stories, I highly suggest just watch the third story one named "Go Another World", the third story is creepy like Silent Hill if you really want me to name one haha. You can skip the 1st two stories as those 1st two are just boring and pointless,as expected,its korean film,always advancing slow and I dont feel any damn scary/creepy moments. The biggest disadvantage is the dark environment, way too dark in all three stories,I tried to tune high in brightness setting,it did not help much lol

Exactly,movie good or not is very sbjective as everyone has their own taste in movies. That is what I wanted to tell,its all opinions and their own rating/scoring on each movie.

Scary MoVie(2013) - 7/10
-> I have been waiting for this new series very long time and finally watched yesterday. Same like previous movies,stupid ideas/scenes and funny conversation all around the movies. I bursting my laugh off quite few times,damn funny and stupid. They are using "Mama" as their main story line. One thing I dont like is the movie is so short,only last 1.5hrs including all credits-roll(15mins for credit roll only). Be sure to watch the NG scenes during credits

Parody of some movies:(so far I know of or I missed some maybe)

Epic(2013) - 6/10
-> This movie is not quite epic,maybe I was expecting this movie too much. Not so much of humor compare to Ice age series. But I have to admit the animation is so realistic and amazing. Overall,this film is suitable for kids. (Ice age series is for kids and adults)

PS: I almost fall asleep in the 1st 20mins (yawn)

Elysium (2013) - 8/10

The story is interesting and show the difference of living style of rich and poor citizen. Everything goes good except the camera shaking(zoomed in somemore) too much,due to this stupid camera shaking, you cant really see whats going in their most fighting scenes.

This movie rocks if camera shaking never exist in this movie.

The Purge(2013) - 7/10

The concept of this movie is great but film is just lack of something to make its hype to the fullness. Horror in this film is different from common ghost horror type or hunting victims that type of horror. I am sure almost everyone who watching this film will mumbling to yourself and put your hatred on every character in this film,trust me,you will lol
Not bad but just lack of something.

The Seasoning House(2012) - 8/10

A very cruel,brutal and violent film,based on true story as well,cant say much to this but worth a watch,too much mixed of feelings and emotions for this film. I watch this film because I want to know how the main actress can escape from "devil's playground".

The Croods(2013) - 9/10
-> it looks like the best animation movie in this year so far,lots of jokes and funny moments,it was good and interesting and enjoying,a must watch movie

Riddick(2013) - 6/10
->I like the 1st part and the last part,middle part was a bit boring.I thought this movie is all about action horror lol

I have not watch Monsters University yet
maybe after I wacthed MU then my vote goes to MU as well haha

The Three Stooges(2012) - 8/10

-> I am speechless for most of time while watching this film due their stupidity is so "heavy" but it was worth a watch,just enjoy this "stupid" film XD

Curse of Chucky(2013) - 4/10

-> A bad film,characters in this film are so "stupid",not stupid like The Three Stooges but you going hate them,I mean,hey a doll is holding a knife and chasing you and you sitting there and yelling(stay in position and prepared to get killed *expectedly*),I know you might be shocked at that time but it just a doll,ok? you are 3 or 4 times bigger than it.Alright fine,aside from this, *if* after you knew a doll has something wrong,wont you doing something to protect yourself like pick up a weapon or dont let off your sight on the doll or the room door(if you have the only one door in your room)..? After I watched this film,I think my IQ dropped already lol
