Movies...Movies...

Half of the year is almost over. Time to review the five movies I've watched for the past months. I'm not an expert when it comes to movies, so whatever I write here is purely based on my taste and preference. 

Let me start with the first movie I watched at the beginning of the year, The Grey. 

I watched this film with my good friend, Lhyza and she told me that I should have warned her. There were scenes in the film where wolves suddenly attack the group of survivors from the plane crash. Actually, I watched this movie because of Liam Neeson. I was bored and I remembered that my friend is coming to my place, so I invited her to see the movie. I think the movie is great! It's deep and scary at the same time. I was hoping that the main character would be able to survive till the very end of the film, only to find out that the movie's ending is a hazy. Still, that makes the movie awesome. You will really think if he survived or not!

Overall, I give the movie a 6/10. But story and acting-wise, I give it an 8/10. I'm a Liam Neeson fan after all. :)

The next movie that I watched was The Hunger Games! 

I VOLUNTEER as a tribute!




Lhyza and I watched this filmed in Shang Ri La.I've read the book that's why I was excited to watch it on the big screen. I even posted a status on my Facebook account about this movie. While watching, I felt great because I was trying to remember the scenes from the book. I didn't expect that all of them will be included because of airtime. I liked the movie, Jennifer Lawrence moved me and almost made me cried when she shouted "I volunteered!" However, I felt a little dizzy because of the camera shakes. After watching it, I became a J-Law fan. No comment about Josh and Liam. Certainly not my type. LOL. Overall, I give it a 7/10.

I watched two movies last April, namely Battleship and The Avengers. 

First reason why I watched this was because of Liam Neeson. However, I was kinda disappointed when I found out that his scenes were very short. I even thought that Battleship wasted his talent. But oh well, I had to deal with it because in the first place he's not the main actor in the movie. I had no reason to rant. Peace!

I dunno but I really enjoyed watching Battleship even though there were some loopholes in the story. Maybe I was just amazed with it's special effects. Or maybe it's Taylor Kitsch. Or Rihanna. 

It's just my opinion but I think it's a mixture of Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, and Transformers. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed watching it. When I got home, I immediately search the name Alexander Skarsgard on the net. He's so damn gorgeous! I'm in love! Haha.

I'm giving Battleship an 8/10.




Up next is the The Avengers!


While watching Thor last year, I fell inlove with Tom Hiddleston's portrayal of Loki. I was really looking forward to him this year. Well, he never let me down. He's the best villain for me. :-).

I should say that the casting is SICK! It's AMAZING!

I have some favorite lines from the movie. 

Loki: I have an army!
Tony Stark: We have a HULK.

Captain America: Big man in a suit of armour. Take that away and what are you? 
Tony Stark: Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist? 






Since I really had fun watching this film, I gave it a 9!! Can't wait for Thor 2 but I'm hopeful that there will be enough exposure for my Tom. LOL

And finally, just this month I watched Dark Shadows with my friend, Sam. We both like Johnny Depp so we agreed to watch it before our shift. I don't wanna elaborate on this, but I should have watched another film. Period.
