Movie Review: Commitment

commitment_poster

Oh ho! Look at that! My very first Asian movie review! Yippee yai yo, let me go wipe my tears away first! *sobs*

I am a procrastinator, if you must know. I’ve been wanting to watch all the movies that T.O.P starred in but I just did not find the time to sit down, search for his movies and watch it. But today, I decided that my procrastination must stop and looked at the list of movies. After reading the synopsis, I took a chance on Commitment first, mostly because I am quite intrigued by the whole North-South Korea conflict.

And now, here I am, typing my thoughts down, snots and all.

Movie Review: Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials

403-film-page-large

I know it’s been out for a week or so now in Singapore but I just watched it earlier today, only because 1) I was not in the mood to watch any movie last week due to haze and the general elections; and 2) there is no movie out this week that I would want to watch so might as well.

I have to say that the Maze Runner trilogy is looking to be one of those movie adaptations that is way better than the books itself. The books (or book since I only read the first book) did not interest me at all, most likely because the words used threw me off plenty of times during my reading and it really spoiled my enjoyment. Honestly, if you want to use the word “fuck” or “shit”, just use them and do not create words that made it really childish. Let’s face it, it is not a children’s book or will it ever be. So, the author should have just gone along with using the words.

Anyway, we are not here to talk about the book but about how awesome the movie is (I just spoiled what my review would ended up to be).

Movie Review: Inside Out

inside-out-poster

Before I get to the actual movie, can I just talk about the short animated movie that was aired before Inside Out called Lava? Of all the shorts that they made, I think this is one of those less interesting ones, for me personally, because it was so cheesy. I appreciate cheesiness because if you have ever looked past my blog entries and onto the sidebar filled with my latest tweets, I can be SUPER cheesy. But this cheesiness, I can’t appreciate. I could only face-palm and wrap a shawl over myself to cover my eyes during the entire movie. It might have affect my mood for the actual movie…

Love It or Hate It: Deadpool Teaser Trailer

19003270193_2edb397100_oHow did I just come across the Deadpool teaser trailer? How? Like where was I? What was I doing? (Okay, I know what I was doing – I was fangirling over BIGBANG.)

Anyway, oh yes my comic geeks, all our dreams have come true and we will finally get to see Marvel’s most unconventional superhero, Deadpool, on the big screen and oh boy, what a teaser trailer.

Movie Review: Fantastic 4

fantastic-four-2015-poster-doctor-doomI’ve not written a movie review for quite a while, haven’t I? Well, I’m getting my groove back on now. Be warned.

Anyway, earlier today, yours truly managed to catch the newest superhero movie, Fantastic 4, a reboot from the box-office failure that was the film series in 2005. This time, with a whole new cast of young talented Hollywood actors. Did this movie save the one Marvel Comic Universe franchise that doesn’t seem to catch a break?

Well…

Love It or Hate It: M.A.D.E Series D by Big Bang

f4b60b265799834dbed144afaf8ece7fWho knew that two new singles by the world’s best K-Pop idol group (according to korea.com), Big Bang, could get yours truly out of a self-imposed hiatus to write an entire post about said two songs? I mean, here I am, lying on my bed with my back aching terribly (from God knows what) and I am still determined to write this down. I missed two movie reviews during my entire self-imposed hiatus even though I was well and dandy. But this? Oh, Siti has got to write about this one.

To give a little background to those who have no clue what this is all about: In a nutshell, Big Bang releases two singles on the first day of each month starting May according to these letters – M, A, D and E – after which in September, they will release a full album with all the songs they have released plus possibly a few new songs. This is to gift the fans who have waited for them for 3 years. It’s a new concept no other K-Pop artistes or idol groups had done before. This month, July 1 at 12 midnight, they released two new singles from D series called “If You” and “Sober”.

The reason why I decided to write a review for these two singles is primarily because it gave me too many feelings and thoughts to be suppressed into tweets and a short Facebook post.

Let me start with “If You”…

Love It or Hate It: Aloha

Also known as, “What the hell, Hollywood?”

Aloha is obviously a Hawaiian term for saying “Hello”. But if you look at the cast for this movie, you would not think that this is set in Hawaii, which has the “highest percentage of Asian Americans and Multi-racial Americans, and the lowest percentage of White Americans of any state” (credit: Wikipedia) . The movie trailer is so filled with white Americans that I would have thought the movie was set in Los Angeles.

But what sets me off is Emma Stone’s character.

Note: I love Emma Stone and this is in no way an insult on her. This is more of a critique on the casting director’s choice and the director himself.

Love It Or Hate It: Big Bang’s “Loser” and “Bae Bae” Music Videos

big-bang-teaser

My 5 new favourite people in the world right now, Big Bang, has made a comeback after 3 years of hiatus as a group in the K-Pop world. (Note: For those who do not know how K-Pop world works – which I did not and only learned 5 months into loving these 5 dorks – 3 years is long for a group to not release music together.)

Big Bang indeed made a huge bang into the music scene by releasing not just one song but TWO songs – “Loser” and “Bae Bae” – as a gift for their fans, lovingly named VIPs, who have waited patiently for them.

In less than 24 hours, both videos have reached more than 1 million views. In fact, “Loser” is now viewed more than 4 million times while “Bae Bae” has crossed the 3 million mark.

Movie Review: Avengers: Age of Ultron

10869325_591589580977275_2778898650041679518_oFor my American readers, this would seem as a whole lot of surprise that I have watched Avengers: Age of Ultron. But it is released in Singapore and other parts of Asia first before the Western countries. It might be a good strategy as Asia probably has a higher rate of piracy so releasing it here first lower that chance of such a big budget movie being pirated. Anyway, so yes, I have watched Avengers and it has all the things you expect the movie to have – action, comedy (as all Marvel movies tend to have) and a little bit of drama.
