1. Annihilation - Could this be the breakout for Alex Garland?
2. Early Man - It's Aardman, so automatic a must watch.
3. The Irishman - Scorsese, DeNiro, Pesci and Pacino.
4. The Predator - Simply because a Shane Black fanboy.
5. Ready Player One - Big fan of the book.
6. MI6 - A fanboy of MacQuarrie.
7. Isle of Dog - I'm a simpleton...you see Wes Anderson....you watch.
8. Soldado - Brooding Benicio and Slimy Brolin to stir the hornet's nest again.
9. Aquaman - Just love the comic book version too much.
10. Mortal Engines - Mad Max meets Steampunk. Peter Jackson godfathered it with LOTR people and a first time Director.

Infinity War, Black Panther, Aquaman & yup Viswasam

Mulan.... oh wait

Here is my take for the next three months

Jan 2018

Insidious: The Last Key (2018) (Erm... Horror much?)

The Commuter (2018) (Liam Neeson, Taken, part 4??)

Proud Mary (2018) (Have anyone watched the trailers??)

Den of Thieves (2018) (Last chance, Gerard Butler)

Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018) (Dylan O'Brien... The next action hero??)

Feb 2018

Cloverfield Movie (2018) (The last Cloverfield movie was pretty good)

Winchester (2018) (Will this uncover new stuff I do not know about the tragic Winchester family, or just Hollywood cashing is... Probably the latter)

Black Panther (2018) (Thought he was pretty good in Captain America. Interesting to see the most technologically advance society in the Marvel Universe. Or does Tony disagree...)

Mar 2018

Alpha (2018) (Looks feral... I am in)

Game Night (2018) (Am actually curious how John Francis Daley fares in this...)

A Wrinkle in Time (2018) (Classic or disaster.... We shall see...)

The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018) (Yeah, more horror... I need help....)

Tomb Raider (2018) (Alicia Vikander.... Nuff said)

Pacific Rim Uprising (2018) (Not really sure about this... But trailer looks swell at the Imax...)

Not concern it will destroy a cherish childhood memory??

Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)

Age... has caught up to me...

With Dylan O'Brien injuries in the initial shooting of the movie, delayed the launch of this latest installment of the trilogy, and frankly, whilst watching it, I really did not give a damn...


And to top it off, I still have NO idea, why they were originally put in the maze?

What the hell does the maze have to do with The Flare??? How does the Maze determine who is immune to The Flare!!!

WHAT!

THE!

HECK!

Again, it may boil down to me being old and cranky.

Seems to be doing well in the box office...

The most, I will give it a 5/10...

The next high profile director shot a movie with iphone. So don't go thinking you can be a film director with your phone yet. Sorderberg basically driving a Ferrari to ride a public bus. Curious how will it stack up to Tangerine, the other Iphone movie that even got nominated for Oscars. This will be a good indication of Claire Foy capabilty to carry Girl with Dragon Tattoo reboot.

It looks like A24 will release their annual arthouse horror movie. Started with The Witch and last year's underrated It Comes At Night. This one gained good traction at Sundance again. Hope it will be more than what the trailer suggested. Glad another player in the mix and does thing differently from Blumhouse or the conventional studio releases.

only the first one was good
2nd one is like wth

Black Panther, Monster Hunt 2 and The Hurricane Heist

This year movie so boring except a few marvel/dc titles hahahaha

Hitting our Cinema on 22 Feb 2018.

Last film by Daniel Day-Lewis before he announced his retirement.

Written & Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood, Inherent Vice, The Master..)

Now a concern trend is taking place in Hollywood. Paramount dumped their international rights of Annihilation and Cloverfield 3 to Netflix. Meaning there is a chance we will not watching it on big screen other than the countries that Paramount earmarked for release. This is bad news for mid budget movies that are challenging to market. With WB and Disney merging with other business consortium, the middle sized studios will resort to this practice. If Disney streaming service becomes a hit, more market shake-up abound given the ironclad corporate culture. RIP for risky movie projects in the future.

For the first time they continue storylines from previous movies. The action fittingly epic.

This is a nice surprise, by march 9th it will drop on Netflix which also around Annihilation release window. The director of Land of Mine whom is quite apt at delivering human emotion and drama. So wonder will this be any measure to his older accomplishment. Good to see Tadanobu Asano given a more meatier role to chew on as opposed to the token asian actor.

will it top the Dubai climb?

Think stunt wise already surpassed Dubai but not sure will it able to top it visually. Say what you will no one got the balls to top Cruise.

1. Incredibles 2
2. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
3. Pacific Rim Uprising
4. Avengers: Infinity War

and Mulan .. waiting very patiently

These tbh fam. All the mob films regulars in one final hurrah directed by the guy who is synonymous with the genre and even kickstarted some of their careers.

haha my favorite from the 3 regulars is still raging bull

I am waiting for Deadpool 2

Tomb Raider (2018)

Warner Brothers cannot get a break...

This movie's in NOT produced by Paramount, like it predecessor.

Warner made this and it is...

I am getting ahead of myself

I was never a fan of the game.

The first two movies starring Angelina Jolie, were decent.

Alicia Vikander, to me, is a better Lara Croft.

Her angst is more... palpably

The first two acts are good and the third...

I blame it on the mcguffin.

For adventure movies like this, the mcguffin is important (may I remind everyone about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull)

Daniel Wu is branching out to Hollywood??

First Geostorm now this??

My final verdict about this movie?

Good try, can be better

Think file this under misleading action packed trailer. Pretty sure it's that same anxiety inducing movie from the first one. On top of that the film director does not do Michael Bay's BS.

In case you're wondering why that "Time Crisis" move from PS1 era make it into that scene...well that's a legit hack to make pistol to fire full auto....lol.

New trailer but only with a couple of new scenes. That girl is starting to get roles in big budget movies huh?

Also which movie should I bring my 8-year old nephews to? Mazinger Z or Pacific Rim 2? I'm thinking of going /m/ as they would appreciate anime more even though it's from a retro series. It is after all the granddaddy of mecha genre right? With del Toro not at the helm it will be less interesting too for the sequel.

But these Mazin-Girls will be an awkward situation for me to explain to their parents, wish they don't include those type of fanservice at all tbh. I'm used to stuff like Ashita no Joe or Planetes where there are no such things or kept at minimum level.

I actually want to bring them to Isle of Dogs but when is the release date for Malaysia? I googled it and no result.

These 2 certainly peak my curiosity. The more Cuckoo the better.

Was labeled as 'Her' meets "Matrix - I know kungfu". It gained a bit of fanfare from SXSW. Since it's Blumhouse so the idea/concept worth a look but not for the expensive money shots.

New appetite of hype

Avengers infinity
Deadpool 2
Jurassic World (new)

That's some casting there. Looks like retrofitting John Wick's Continental Hotel with a different purpose.

That girl looking creepy AF.

haha add one more

the new mission impossible

Forgotten they made a sequel for this. Tony Scott still the ideal director for this type of movie. Cashing in on Kendrick Lamar for the trailer song.

Antoine Fuqua, the director for the IRonman?

This post has been edited by geolee76: Apr 19 2018, 10:35 PM

Haha he ok what

My all time favorite of his is TRAINING DAY

😄😄👌👌

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

Well....

Marvel pulled no punches!!

The movie starts with guns ablazing (metaphorically speaking) and really does not let up until the very end.

Because of the comic, I kinda guess the ending and also how the second movie ends, but as I had stated Marvel does not shy from... doing what needs doing!!!

People here would probably know how much I.... dislike Thor Ragnarok.

This movie really redeems that character for me in the Marcel Universal (Though truth to be told I still miss Mjornir).

This is a heavy HEAVY movie, and there maybe a stumbling block for Marvel.

I am really not sure how Spider-man Homecoming 2 is going to happen!!? (Does it take place before of after this movie??)

With it, not pulling it's punches, does that mean Fan of the movie... would be turned off?

Only the final block office will tell.

I like this movie

It is NOT perfect, and have to add, it is still pretty well made

Lets see what the box office says soon

Oh, I pet peeve, until date, WE STILL HAVE NOT HEARD AVENGERS ASSEMBLE.

My Two Sen

Next deadpool 2

There are some good flicks to be aired on Netflix this month of May, 2018.
Have a look people https://www.netflixdown.com/top-netflix-new-releases-may/

Ant-Man and the Wasp

Solo

Just 3 more days 2 go

I hope your not being sarcastic cuz Aquaman isnt like say, Spidey or Green Lantern to crack jokes all the time

Besides, the film's directed by James Wan, Sarawakian who made serious films like Conjuring, Furious 7 etc

On top of all, DC's really counting on this film post-JL

Based on few interviews, I think Aquaman film is gonna have different flavor according to Wan as he wants to subverse the expectations

On topic: My expectations are on MI6: Fallout, Race 3 & Viswasam lol

Hope he can answers the ryan coogler hype train aka DC answers 2 the black panther

The way ur saying this is as if u have seen this movie. Hahahaha

Powerhouse director with powder keg lead. Strangely the premise kinda similar to Vertigo's The Kitchen which also gonna be adapted into a movie next year.

for old action times sake



just watch for nostalgia sake without the 90s rewind in mind or else you be very disappointed

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Watched this at IMAX 1Utama, and am glad to report, the Audion/Visual system there is still great!

I really want to like this.

The budget is there, the visual is there the sound is there.

First Act and Second Act are entertaining (not without flaws though)


They got rid of the two kids in the first movie, and the story starts with going back to the island to rescue... wait, did they not do THAT in Jurassic Park 2 already...

Oh, no no wait it is not like Jurassic Park 2. TO begin with this is Jurassic World 2.... really THAT'S the best comeback they have?

The script could have been much better.

I kinda remember the scripts of movies I had watch before, so, for me the movie had a shaky script to begin with

And most of the get out of difficult situation sequences.... had been done before...

Although the third act was really flawed (That is how they choose to end the movie?? Really??) the point they made is actually the gist that Michael Crichton tried to get acrossed in his first novel, should we go down the slippery slope of genetic study?

It is an entertaining movie.

Just seems a little repetitive in some places.

But what do I know, I enjoyed Solo and it is tanking at the box office!!

My Two Sen.

As much as I love Claire Foy...this one looks like a miscast and just don't see how is this an improvement over Noomi Rapace and Rooney Mara. Hope I'm wrong comes November.

All the cool people in one movie. Damien Chazelle, Claire Foy and Ryan Gosling. Oscar bait written all over this one....

Haha bloody heck I still have not watch the first one

Waiting to catch Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom & Ant-Man & The Wasp!

The Equalizer 2 and Sicario 2

Incredibles 2 (2018)

So, how is it?

Incredible

Was it worth the wait (14 years)?

Most definitely

Did Brad Bird bring it?

Yes he did, bring it (Aunty Edna!!)

Should a person go to the cinema to watch this movie?

A person? No. In drove, YES!!!

My Two Sen.

P.S. Sorry, fatique....

of course it's Mulan!

Looking forward to the new Robin Hood. Trailer looks good!

Looks pretty dope and hope it lives up to the first one.

Haha isnt he the bad guy from wakanda

Dam this dude sound like wesley snipes hahahaha

But the heck he sure does can act great

Dam hope he can be the next denzel soon with an oscar win

Fuh gila

Another action franchise 2 fight with john wick hahahaha

Hell yeahhhhh can't wait for these three. Especially Sicario, the first one was the best movie I haven't seen for a long time.

Can't wait for Alita: Battle Angel!

Was not aware Lanthimos releasing a movie this year. Right up my alley.

This post has been edited by 6so: Jul 10 2018, 01:59 PM

Right after closing of last year's Oscars, Gold derby already buzzng this as next year's Best Actress hot ticket. Guess it look likely the frontrunner at the moment.

Can't help it but felt like MNS flogging a dead horse here.

This year's SDCC looking a little light on big announcement. Not sure any big reveal coming from D23 while WB only have Aquaman and Fantastic Beast 2 to show.

This one is looking good. Guess he is paying homage to WKW as the shots giving me the "In the mood of love" vibe. More excited on this than Damian Chazelle's First Man.

anyone? just 2 more weeks 2 go.



shoot in Singapore starring that Malaysia lead with Dato Michelle plus some Singapore cast.

like watching new Jack Neo movie repackaged with Hollywood touch wrappers.

Whenever I see Michelle Yeoh, I think of Barisan Nasional. So no. Not going to watch any Michelle Yeoh movie. Star Trek is ok because I already subscribe to Netflix.

Haha sure bo?

I never knew Dato MY is Najib butliker.

Same as Lee Chong Wei movie. No support.

This is looking good...very good indeed. For some dumb reason it's giving me the Michael Mann's Heat vibe. Enjoy it while it last cause Disney already made it official that they will cut down Fox's genre movies production slate to realign with the wholesome PG13 decree of mouse house.

Guess to MCU fanboys is worth destroying the whole forest to save a tree...lol....RIP to 20th Century Fox....

This could be good

Jeffrey Wright, Riley Keough and Alexander Skarskarg.

This has the potential to be cult hit of this year. Quentin Tarantino endorsed his seal of approval to this remake. Believe it is something of significance to be able to nab Tom Yorke as composer. Some even went out to say it is comparable to The Shining for relevance.

Sorry my movie appetite ended this year after MI6

Dont think any other movies can top the broken ankle jump hahahaha

You sure?....

We shall see

Waiting for Aquaman. Just watched the trailer and the movie is looking awesome!

Haha no love for equalizer 2 here

Hope this is line with his older movies instead of the utter trash The Great Wall.

Really hate it when they put out the whole movie on a trailer....

His first full feature film out of The Raid franchise. Could be interesting...

Another high profile acquisition by Netflix but not sure why it didn't premier at TIFF. Either something wrong or they are not pushing for wide release at cinema.

This post has been edited by 6so: Sep 18 2018, 08:26 AM

Technically no longer a 2018 movie as there's a 3 way battle going on for the Christmas week box office. Dunno this movie felt like 15 years too late. Not sure newer audiences able to identify with this old manga property. It's not a modern classic essential.

With Venom being called out as disappointment....hopeful this is a fun ride. So far liking everything I've seen...

Eff me sideways....always thought this movie gonna be worthwhile but did not expect it to be this awesome. Really digging the stellar casting and how Bale would portrayed The Sith Lord of the Bush administration. Rockwell is amazing as the president.

Another Oscar contender, getting decent review at this point and US box office was doing great if we ignored Venom. Release date for Malaysia on October 18 based from IMDb. Not sure it would perform well on here as well but we'll see.

This post has been edited by EmoGuy91: Oct 12 2018, 09:22 AM

yeah agree people expectation really high about that show....in reality r u kidding me ..... can say so so so ...

Possible oscar contender haha

Yes I'm not bluffing. Many media outlet put A Star is Born (Bradley Cooper film directorial debut to boot) on the possible contender for Oscar 2019 along with First Man. Who would have thought Lady Gaga are in contender for Oscar awards.

https://www.esquire.com/uk/culture/film/a22...iction-winners/

Haha well i guess lady gaga is in great transition from singer 2 actress

Have not catch it but i got a feeling it can match the original starring Judy Garland in the 50s

This post has been edited by skylinelover: Oct 13 2018, 07:40 AM

FYI ASIB OG version was not Judy Garland, but lead by Janet Gaynor (check Wikipedia, forgot her name) on late 1930s. But yeah you're right many people feeling the 2018 version can match the 1930s and 1950s version.

This post has been edited by EmoGuy91: Oct 14 2018, 11:55 AM

Haha oooo

Ya that was original

I knew only the 50s because it is the one that snagged a lot of oscars while the 30s got no oscars at all

Hollywood obsession with middle age performer in badass role continues. There were some rumbling at TIFF about Nicole Kidman unrecognisable strong acting. Shall see how it stacks up against the Oscar bait movies.

On another note Annapurna Pictures is downsizing significantly as announced today. Guess trust fund baby kena sounding from super rich papa. Hope it gets to turnaround and don't close shop cause that will be another nail in the coffin of cinema landscape.
