Cloud Atlas (2012)

One of the MOST complicated movie I have ever encounter... Still in the midst of watching it!!

Hi capoi & Mickey C

Here is my review

Cloud Atlas (2012)

Okay, am watching the last few minutes of Cloud Atlas.

I can understand now why this wasn't shown in Malaysia. Heck, I'll be very surprise if may of the America view actually got this!! (Short attention span and all)

There is NO WAY the theme of the movie with pass the censorship board!!

There a 6 (that is right SIX stories in this movie) that interleaves each other.

They all happened in different time period.

The connecting element is a music piece named Atlas Cloud.

There is so many A List actors in this and they all play multiple characters in this it is no simple task keeping score!

End Credits and my verdict, I have to give this another go to get all the pieces into place!!

In short, no expense was spare in making this movie.

There is enough story her for AT LEAST 3 movies!!

There are some scenes which is EXTREMELY violent in this movie.

There are some subject matter which is taboo.

My Two Sen

This is UNLIKE any of their previous movies. If you watch the movie from that angle, I don't think you will enjoy it...

Okay, how do I put this delicately, You do know that one of the brother, is now a... sister right... that might give you and idea where I'm coming from...

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968)

This is a weird movie.

It has ALL the makings of a Disney Classic from the 60s (Mary Poppins etc) and yet it is made by MGM.

Even weirder, it is produced and written by the people who are responsible for JAMES BOND!!

Albert R. Broccoli wanted to be like Disney and own production company, theme parks etc.

Picture and Sound quality is pretty good (for it's age, not the best, but a strong, decent!)

This is a musical.

This is a guilty indulgence for me, because it brings back a lot of childhood memories..

Not everybody's cup of tea, and have to add, if you want something different for a Sunday afternoon, you cannot go wrong with THIS!!

Hahaha

I'm actually very much into old movies...

Okay okay, Sherlock Holmes 2 (2011). New enough??

Very VERY good movie

REALLY???

How is THAT gonna work...

It is already a confusing movie...

The Malaysian censorship board is gonna butcher is some more...

Aiyo...

Hudson Hawk (1991)

Okay, I'm gonna say something that will probably make alot of people scream (feel free not to)

I LOVE Hudson Hawk....

This movie bombed at the box office, and I ABSOLUTELY love it!!

Comedy, action, clever story!! It's got it all!!

It is now release on Bluray, picture's not the best, decent not great.

Sounds decent too.

I LOVE HUDSON HAWK!!

I tried watching that a couple of days ago... Couldn't get into the movie. Will try again soon...

The Apparition (2012)

There is nothing outstanding about this movie.

As a matter of fact, I could have predicted every single scare around the corner...

This movie reminds be of Pulse

Run of the mill horror movie...

Watch it, if it's on the TV and you are too lazy to change the channel....

My Two Sen

The Possession (2012)

Whilst watching this movie, I kept going, where have I seen this guy before, where have I seen this guys before (lead actor, Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

Today, it DAWNED on me that he played Dean and Sam's father in Supernatural.... (old already)

There are some really good actors here, as stated above, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Kyra Sedgwick, Matisyahu and the little girl, Madison Davenport was actually quite convincing!

When it started, I thought is was going to be like Hellraiser (the rubic cube thingie) because the evil object here is a wooden box, which doesn't have any opening seams...

Hannah (Madison Davenport) parents are divorced and she and her sister stays with their father during the weekends...

Their father had moved out of their house and had just recently purchased his own house.

He does not have much furniture of house hold items, so as they passed a yard sale, they stop to browse....

He bought some kitchen stuff (plates, bowls dishes etc) and his youngest daughter, Hannah was attracted by this old antique wooden box

He bought her the box, and the little girl got strangely attached to the box...

There are some scenes in this one that made me jump...

I just wish the ending...

I'm getting ahead of myself...

Check it out why don't you.

Nope. Not very good...

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2 (2013)

For all the laurels bestow on Marvel, for all the achievement they have obtained through their movies, DC has put out alot of TV stuff that is AMAZING.

It took alot of cojones (pardon my Spanish), to do this and this actually, story wise, this rivals The Dark Knight Rises!!!! I kid you not

If you had watched the first part, you know that Bruce Wayne is now an over the hill man.

Robin is a chick

Batman is retired.

Unfortunately, his rivals aren't

Interestingly, being an animation, this movie really "criticize" the American government for being... incompetent (if a non American says that, than that person is a terrorist... *sigh*)

This movie, Joker escape Arkham Asylum, Superman is the President of the United States' lackey and the Police Commissioner is also a chick!!

Lots of action, lots of surprises and the things that Batman had to do.... wow...

I cannot recommend this high enough to the comic nerd in all of us.

Taken 2

Wow...

Story is weak.

Delivery is weak.

This should never had been done...

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)

Masterful.

Absolutely, POSITIVELY masterful.

It is a 2:13 hour movie, and every single minute is mesmerising!!

Joan Crawford and Bette David supposedly cannot stand each other in real life and oh my goodness that animosity towards each other translated on screen. And it fits their role, to a T...

It is SUPERB!!!

Two thumbs UP.

If you like good CLASSICS and suspense, I cannot recommend this enough.

I'm surprise there are additional people out there who enjoyed Battleship (it is an indulgence of mine for 2012 also John Carter)

Believe it or not, I have never watch The Godfather... I know. I just never got around to it!!
