Movie Review : The Internship

I guess all of you have heard how awesome it is work at Google company. Not only that it's awesome. It's actually like a paradise, for those who refuse to conform to the standard rigidness of the corporate world. Slides, bright surroundings, free foods, and comfortable working environment, what else could we ask for, no? I know I would love to go work for Google, only because of its awesome working environment. But I don't know of any ability that I can put to good use at Google. Hahahaha.

Synopsis

Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) are salesmen whose careers have been torpedoed by the digital world. Trying to prove they are not obsolete, they defy the odds by talking their way into a coveted internship at Google, along with a battalion of brilliant college students. But, gaining entrance to this utopia is only half the battle. Now they must compete with a group of the nation's most elite, tech-savvy geniuses to prove that necessity really is the mother of re-invention.

Movie Review : Paranoia

If you were given the order to spy on a company for their intel and be paid handsomely if you managed to pull it off, would you do it? I, for once, would love to jump to that opportunity but anyone who knows me well would totally laugh at the idea of it. I'm clumsy, accident prone, and totally helpless. But one thing I am good at is acting. I can plaster any face that I wish to act upon, and they can't tell whether I'm lying or not. But before I go on, and on about ridiculous spying skills, I thank Nuffnang for the premiere screening passes for this movie, and let's get into the review.

Synopsis

In this high-stakes thriller, Adam Cassidy (Liam Hemsworth) is a regular guy trying to get ahead in his entry-level job at Wyatt Corporation. But after one costly mistake, Adam's ruthless CEO, Nicholas Wyatt (Gary Oldman), forces him to spy on corporate rival, Jock Goddard (Harrison Ford), Wyatt's old mentor. Adam soon finds himself occupying the corner office and living the life of his dreams. However, behind the scenes, he is simply a pawn in Wyatt's corporate game and realizes he must ultimately find a way out from under his boss who will stop at nothing, even murder, to win a multi-billion dollar advantage. 

Movie Review : We're The Millers

"Right.... another predictable pretend family sitcom. As if we haven't seen enough." That was my first thought when I heard about this movie. So, what is going to be different about this movie that isn't out there already, I ask. Drug-dealing... oppss wait, it's drug-smuggling. There's a difference, as David Burke/Jason Sudeikis would emphasize in the movie. Yeah right. But clearly I was wrong for that crude first impression as 'We're the Millers' knocked me off my seats with insane comedy.

Synopsis

David Burke (Jason Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer whose clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kids-after all, he has his scruples. So what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms). In order towipe the slate clean-and maintain a clean bill of health-David must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brad's latest shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the arms of his neighbors, cynical stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston) and wannabe customer Kenny (Will Poulter), and the tatted-and-pierced streetwise teen Casey (Emma Roberts), he devises a foolproof plan. One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the "Millers" are headed south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a bang.

Movie Review : Kick Ass 2

Waaachaaaaaaa~!!!!

Okay, I'm being silly here. Hahahaha. But I think I'm in love with Hit Girl. Besides the fact that I actually adore the actress herself,  Chloe Grace Moretz. She's an amazing actress, and I've watched almost all of the movies that she starred in, back from Big Momma's House 2 (2006) to the recent Movie 43 (2013). Well, the character she was playing, Mindy Macready/Hit Girl is also an amazing character. Who doesn't love a girl who is fun, lovely and yet sarcastically delivers foul-mouthed and crude jokes all the time while still knows how to gracefully kick ass?! But our topic today is not just about Hit Girl, it's about Kick Ass 2 movie. Yeay, another amateur movie review! *Scoffs!*

Synopsis

Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: ‘Kick-Ass 2.’ After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation. When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy.

Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire—leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes. Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world’s first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there’s only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.

Movie Review : The Purge

I guess deep down, we all wished that we could reach for that blunt weapon and hit, smack the person you hate so damn much and pound them into oblivion if we could without having to suffer any consequences or legal issues. Introducing the The Purge.

Synopsis

The Purge is a 2013 American science fiction thriller film directed and written by James DeMonaco. Starring Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey, the film is set in the year 2022 when the United States have become "a nation reborn", with crime and unemployment rates hitting an all-time low, due to the government having instituted an annual 12-hour period called "the Purge" during which all criminal activity (including murder, theft, rape, etc.) becomes legal. The only rules during the Purge are that government officials of "ranking 10 or higher" must remain unharmed and usage of weaponry above "Class 4" (such as WMDs) is forbidden. The Purge is designed to act as a catharsis for the American people, so that they may vent all negative emotions however they desire.

The Smurfs 2 : Movie Review

La la,

la la la la

la la la la .....

Make way for the second installment of the blue dudes, The Smurfs 2 : Nice Get Naughty. When Gargamel first created Smurfette, it was to bring disruption to these cute-midget-like blue forest dwellers but it backfired when the Smurfs able to bring goodness into her and re-created her into a real Smurf, as blue and as jolly. Moving on to the current timeline however, Gargamel finally had his break in Paris when he became a star attraction by demonstrating his sorcery. However, as his magic which runs on the power of the Smurf essence was depleting, he needed to secure more.

In order to make it happen, he created the Naughties; Vexy and Hackus to kidnap Smurfette as a hostage to get Papa Smurf to release the secret formula on creating Smurfs. With his new creations, he managed to capture Smurfette and in a lot of twist-and-turns, finally able to get the secret formula from Smurfette herself. And a whole lot of big-bang-boom went after that. I'm not going to write you a summary just providing you guys the back-up information. Hehehe.

Dreamworks Turbo : Movie Review

Once again, Dreamworks animation have gone out of their way and into our hearts to provide a family-worthy entertainment. This time around, take a gander at the snail. One of the animals out there that have been known to glacially 'strut' themselves into fame. However, irony is the keyword here. Try to formulate it in your mind throughout this entry. I'll check back on you on that after we've gone through my verdict.

Snow White and The Huntsman : Review

All hail Queen Ravenna. Pertaining to the movie, Snow White and The Huntsman, I will now commence all the bashing of this terrific yet horrendous movie which has been screening for almost a week now. The reason I chose this poster of Charlize Theron posing as the Evil Queen in the remake of our beloved fairy tale, heart-embedded kiddie story back in the 1990s is because she is actually the only one worth mentioning inside this movie.
