UP Movie Review

If you are an ardent follower of Pixar and Disney’s work, this is one of the best unique plot animation movie that they have ever produced.

Presented to us, (the press) in the richness of 2D digital format, with first 10 minutes in 35mm film format, we noticed the difference in the richness of the color in 2D format and also the sharpness of BluRay High Definition image and video quality.

Further to that, the plot goes on to bring 2 unlikely individuals, an old man with a dream unfulfilled and a young fat cute boy, who is trying to get a scout badge for assisting the old man. They unlikely couple got locked with the old man’s adventure and the plot thickens with lotsa of comedic sequence in between.

One of Pixar’s best efforts and we give it a 5 out of 5 stars for this one!

Harry Potter 6 Movie Review

Emboldened by the return of Lord Voldemort, the Death Eaters are wreaking havoc in both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that new dangers may lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. He needs Harry to help him uncover a vital key to unlocking Voldemort’s defenses—critical information known only to Hogwarts’ former Potions Professor, Horace Slughorn. With that in mind, Dumbledore manipulates his old colleague into returning to his previous post with promises of more money, a bigger office…and the chance to teach the famous Harry Potter.

Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as
teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry’s long friendship with Ginny Weasley is growing into something deeper, but standing in the way is Ginny’s boyfriend, Dean Thomas, not to mention her big brother Ron. But Ron’s got romantic entanglements of his own to worry about, with Lavender Brown lavishing her affections on him, leaving Hermione simmering with jealousy yet determined not to show her feelings. And then a box of love potion-laced chocolates ends up in the wrong hands and changes everything. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof with far more important matters on his mind. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

All in all, 4 stars.

Page Museum until he meets Holly Cantrell whose finding urges him to create a tachyon amplifier to enable time warp travel.

Public Enemies Movie Review

In the action-thriller Public Enemies, acclaimed filmmaker Michael Mann directs Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Academy Award® winner Marion Cotillard in the story of legendary Depression-era outlaw John Dillinger (Depp)—the charismatic bank robber whose lightning raids made him the number one target of J. Edgar Hoover’s fledgling FBI and its top agent, Melvin Purvis (Bale), and a folk hero to much of the downtrodden public.

No one could stop Dillinger and his gang. No jail could hold him. His charm and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost everyone—from his girlfriend Billie Frechette (Cotillard) to an American public who had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged the country into the Depression.

But while the adventures of Dillinger’s gang—later including the sociopathic Baby Face Nelson (Stephen Graham) and Alvin Karpis (Giovanni Ribisi)—thrilled many, Hoover (Billy Crudup) hit on the idea of exploiting the outlaw’s capture as a way to elevate his Bureau of Investigation into the national police force that became the FBI. He made Dillinger America’s first Public Enemy Number One and sent in Purvis, the dashing “Clark Gable of the FBI.’’

However, Dillinger and his gang outwitted and outgunned Purvis’ men in wild chases and shootouts. Only after importing a crew of Western ex-lawmen (newly baptized as agents) and orchestrating epic betrayals—from the infamous “Lady in Red’’ to the Chicago crime boss Frank Nitti—were Purvis, the FBI and their new crew of gunfighters able to close in on Dillinger.

All in all, 4 stars.

Ice Age 3 : Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Synopsis

The sub-zero heroes from the worldwide blockbusters “Ice Age” and “Ice Age: The Meldown” are back, on an incredible adventure…for the ages.  Scrat is still trying to nab the ever-elusive nut (while, maybe, finding true love); Manny and Ellie await the birth of their mini-mammoth; Sid the sloth gets into trouble when he creates his own makeshift family after finding some dinosaur eggs; and Diego the saber-toothed tiger wonders if he’s growing too “soft” hanging with his pals.  On a mission to rescue the hapless Sid, the gang ventures into a mysterious underground world, where they have some close encounters with dinosaurs, battle flora and fauna run amok – and meet a relentless, one-eyed, dino-hunting weasel named Buck.

ICE AGE 3: DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS has everything audiences loved about the first two films, adding even more comedy, action, spectacular visuals – plus the movie magic of 3-D.  Our beloved heroes live on, with some memorable new characters thrown into the “Ice Age” mix.

Release Date: 1 July 09

=====================================================

Review

Hilarious as ever.  The new characters in this movie makes it fresh and interesting; even Scrat has a new mate to tease him.

A great movie to watch with the family.

Overall 4 out of 5 stars.

Transformer 2

Synopsis

In “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” two years have passed since Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) and the Autobots saved the human race from the invading Decepticons.  Now he’s preparing for the biggest challenge of his life: leaving home for college.  Despite his extreme heroics, the battle of Mission City has become an urban legend believed only by conspiracy theorists.  Sam is still an average teenager with everyday anxieties and excitement about heading off into adulthood, separating from his parents (Kevin Dunn and Julie White) for the first time, and vowing to be faithful to girlfriend Mikaela (Megan Fox).  Of course, he also has to explain his departure to his guardian robot, Bumblebee.

Review

Before we talk about the learning point, let’s talk about the rating of the movie. I would give 9 over 9 for this movie for the movie quality, sound system and story line.

As Transformer 2 is the continuous from Transformer 1, the story line was well told and people easily relate to it. The explanation was also done clearly in the movie.

As for the graphic, more robots this time around. I think Transformer 2 is able to meet the expectation of the audiences as people are expecting more robots and interesting story line.

I word to describe this movie: Brilliant

Key learning point

Transformer robots like and other robots described in the science friction are different in the sense that they have emotionally soft part for living beings.

In the movie, it explains that the leaders of the Cybertron which are called the Primes (Optimus Prime is one of them) were set to find energy sources for their planet in other planets and thus they found earth. They vow not to kill any living beings.

The key learning point is to live and let’s lives. Human beings are born with similar physical characters and because of different environment, experience and education; we behave differently with different personality.

Though at times, we might be selfish when fighting for a better place to live in this world, we might hurt someone around us unintentionally. Therefore, it’s always important to remember that every living being should be given a fair chance to live in this world. For the wrong should be forgiven and success should be cherished together.

As Optimus Prime said, “I have witnessed the capacity and capability of human beings which is able to overcome obstacles.”

Overall rating 5 of 5 stars

Review

Good plot and graphics.  Though at times the machines will creep up on does that cheap thrill thingy to scare the audience.

Arnold played a tiny part in the movie too.  I think Christian Bale did a good job as John Connor.

All in all, I would rate it 4 stars out of 5.

Monsters vs Aliens

A story about, well, Monsters fighting an Alien Invasion.
