A Grimm Warning by Chris Colfer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I do not actually know how to start writing my thoughts about this book without repeating myself like a broken record.
Movie Review: Step Up All In
Singapore is probably the last few countries to release this movie, I don’t even know why. But anyway, I watched it because of Moose (Adam Sevani). That’s the only reason why I watch this dance franchise.
Honestly, the plot has always been the same. The main character is down and out but has this immense passion and talent in dance so he/she does not give up on that and go forth and join dance battles. In the midst of all that, he/she would suffer some setbacks but would eventually overcome it all.
Movie Review: Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno
I watched this yesterday and was overwhelmed by how awesome it was and forgo writing this review to watch the first movie. Oops?
Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno is the sequel to the first movie and it’s based on the best-selling manga and anime. If you are not familiar with the manga and/or anime, where have you been? Rurouni Kenshin (also known as Samurai X) was so popular when I was in school. I used to watch the anime so many times because I love it so much. And I had/have a big crush on Kenshin Himura and told myself if only I could marry an anime character. Lo and behold, they did the live-action movie and… I still want to marry the character.
Review: The Giver
The Giver by Lois Lowry
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wow, I think this was the fastest I read a book since Harry Potter series! I guess it’s because the book is not that thick. But that does not mean the book was not interesting. In fact, it was surprisingly good and surpassed my expectation of it.
Review: Son of a Witch
Son of a Witch by Gregory Maguire
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Well, this book took too long for me to finish – partly because I was distracted by YouTube and partly because I found it boring and slightly confusing in the beginning. But I finally did get how the book is structured and actually enjoyed it. It’s kind of like baking a cake – in the beginning, you have to put the flour, egg and sugar and mix them all up nicely before you put other more interesting ingredients to bake whatever cake you want. This book is just like that.
Movie Review: Guardians of the Galaxy
I’ve not been blogging for a month as I was observing Ramadan and came back to WordPress to see changes made. Lots of it. Well, time to get used to this. I have to say though, it’s neater.
Anyway, I’m not here to blog (or rant) about the changes made to WordPress. I’m here as always to do my own movie reviews. The first movie after my month-long hiatus is… Guardians of the Galaxy and I must say that it’s a damn good choice of a movie to come back to because 1) it’s a Marvel movie, and 2) it’s a damn good Marvel movie.
Movie Review: Transformers: Age of Extinction
Yesterday, I caught the fourth installment of the alien robots, Transformers, and can I just ask why movies as such always have idiotic human beings who are afraid of other living things who are actually helping them?
Movie Review: The Fault In Our Stars
I cried. I cried so much that the packet of tissues I bought with me ran out of… well… tissues. If you have read the book, which is what the movie is based from, you would know why tear-stained cheeks would be the side effect of watching it.
Movie Review: How To Train Your Dragon 2
Caught this movie earlier and let’s just start with the fact that I cried, no, sobbed. Animated movies that tugged at my heartstrings are good movies, I tell you that! But what I cannot tell you is what makes me cry because I would spoil the movie for you.
