Welcome to The Punch Official Trailer
** Rate: 8/10 **
I have never really watched much British movies or shows, and have always watched American ones in fact. But after watching "Welcome to The Punch", it's such an eye opener. I didn't know british movies could be this good as well. It got me and D engross with the action and mind going "what's going to happen next?". Basically it's how two people from different worlds, a police and criminal have to actually trust each other and team up to defeat the bad guys (who are none other then cops themselves).
Then the question comes in.. where's justice? Is there still justice when even law enforcers are corrupted?
Well, i don't wish to be a spoiler and kill it by telling you guys that detailed about the movie! Watch it and tell me about your thoughts for the movie! (:
Thanks to Shawsg, I won a pair of tickets along with some awesome goodies to the premiere of Warm Bodies which was held at Shaw Lido! Was looking forward to this day to catch Warm Bodies! And i'm so excited I actually did! D couldn't make it, so I brought dad along for our little daddy-daughter movie date. It was an awesome night indeed! ♥
Synopsis ♥
Warm Bodies is a 2013 American paranormal romantic zombie comedy film based on Isaac Marion's novel of the same name. Directed and written by Jonathan Levine, the film stars Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer.
The film focuses on the development of the relationship between Julie, a young woman, and "R", a zombie, and how their eventual romance develops throughout. The film is noted for displaying human characteristics in zombie characters, and for being told from a zombie's perspective.
SPOILER ALERT
After a zombie apocalypse, R, a zombie, spends his days wandering around an airport which is now filled with hordes of his fellow undead, including his best friend M. R and M achieve rudimentary communication with grunts and moans and "Eh's" and occasional near-words. As a zombie, R constantly craves human flesh, especially brains, as he is able to "feel alive" on the memories of their former owners. The zombies travel in packs, moving very slowly, searching for victims to feed on. While out looking for food, R and a pack of zombies find Julie Grigio and a group of her friends, who were sent out by Julie's father from a heavily-fortified, walled-off human enclave in a nearby city to recover medical supplies from abandoned buildings. R sees Julie and is drawn to her. After being shot in the chest by Julie's boyfriend, Perry, R kills Perry while Julie is distracted and eats his brain, giving R his thoughts and memories making his attraction to Julie become even stronger. He rescues Julie from the rest of the pack and takes her back to an airplane he lives in at the airport to keep her safe. The two bond, causing R to slowly begin to come to life.
Eventually, Julie gets restless and convinces R to take her home. On the way, R reveals to her that he killed Perry, causing her to abandon R and return alone to the human enclave. R begins to make his way back to the airport, heartbroken, but when he sees that M and other zombies are also beginning to show signs of life, he and M lead a group to the human enclave, where R sneaks inside the wall. There he meets Julie's friend Nora and her father Colonel Grigio, leader of the human group. While Nora is grudgingly accepting, Colonel Grigio refuses to believe corpses can change and threatens to kill R. Julie and R escape to a baseball stadium where the rest of R's group is waiting, but find themselves under attack by a horde of skeletal zombies (also known as Bonies) who have irretrievably lost all traces of humanity, and are set on killing and eating anything with a heartbeat, which now includes R and his friends.
Julie and R run from the Bonies, finding themselves trapped. Taking the only escape route, R jumps with Julie into a pool far below, shielding her from the impact but hitting his head, and both of them survive the fall. Thrilled to be alive, they kiss passionately. However, Colonel Grigio shoots R in the shoulder, causing him to bleed and proving that he's been revived. The humans and zombies combine forces and kill the Bonies, and the zombies slowly assimilate into human society. The human population destroys the walls surrounding the human society after the annihilation of the Boney population, creating a life for both humans and reanimated corpses much like the days before the apocalypse. The film ends with R and Julie as a couple.
That's how I would more or less describe the movie. Though it may seem unbelievable and crazy, like how in the world could a dead person, a walking dead be alive again? Well, after all it's just a movie. In movies, all sorts of things can be made into reality right?
I wouldn't say it's a very bad movie, neither is it superbly awesome! But it's an enjoyable movie that gives you laughs and fills you with a certain kind of sweetness. In other words, this movie is definitely beyond average. I couldn't help but place my attention on Nicholas Hault. Even as a zombie, he's smoking HOT. What's more when he's human? His eyes are awesomely sexy!
Yeah, that's the best part of the movie, watching Nicholas Hault! But of course, the plot of the movie isn't that bad either. At least there was a flow to it. A start and a proper ending. And yes, i have to mention it again. I DID enjoy the movie! Haha.
After a stressful day at work, this movie could at least keep my mind of stress for that couple of hours. Made me felt more relaxed and it did make me laugh couple of times too!
Well, it's hard to say. You should give it a shot and watch it too.
It's the weekends all over again and to end my Sunday, I had a movie date with my dad instead of D. It's been awhile since i've been to the cinema's with my dad to catch a movie, we use to do that pretty often in the past. Watching all sorts of movies, and usually they are the ones i've been wanting to catch! Hurhur. So loved right? I know ♥
I've been wanting to catch "Beautiful Creatures" for the longest time ever! (Yes, I realize I do say this often. What to do, when i'm such a movie junkie. I'm a total huge movie lover, practically every show i would wanna watch of course minus horror flicks! haha). D was suppose to catch it with me, but we never had the chance too, so i ended catching it with Dad instead. *happiness*

David Valdes
Genre:
Drama, Fantasy, Romance
Ethan longs to escape his small Southern town. He meets a mysterious new girl, Lena. Together, they uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town.
SPOILER ALERT!!
In Gatlin, South Carolina, Ethan Wate awakens from a recurring dream of a girl he doesn't know. In narration, he describes his enjoyment of reading banned books, his despair of his small-town existence and his dreams of leaving for college. Arriving for his first day of junior year, Ethan notices newcomer Lena Duchannes, who resembles the girl he has been dreaming about. The other students do not take kindly to her and spread gossip regarding her reclusive uncle, Macon Ravenwood, and her family being devil worshippers. Overhearing these whispers, Lena tenses and the classroom windows shatter, amplifying the fears and suspicions of the class and the townspeople at large that she is a witch.
On a drive home, Ethan nearly runs over Lena, whose car has broken down. He gives her a ride home and the two bond over their shared love of poetry and having both lost their mothers. Ethan drops Lena off but later finds a locket and returns to the mansion to give it to her as a present. The touch of the locket triggers a shared flashback to the Civil War, after which he awakens at his home. Macon disapproves of their growing romance and conspires with Ethan's family friend, Amma, to keep the two separated but Ethan persists and Lena confesses that she and her family are "casters", capable of performing a variety of magical spells such as changing the weather and illusion casting. On her 16th birthday, Lena's true nature will steer her towards either the light or the dark and Lena fears being consumed by evil and hurting those she loves. Ethan insists she is responsible for her own choices and that regardless of her insecurities she is a good person.
Matters are complicated by the arrival of two immensely powerful dark casters who aim to push Lena to the dark: Ridley, Lena's provocative cousin/childhood friend and Sarafine, Lena's mother, who has possessed Mrs. Lincoln, the mother of Ethan's friend Link. and foresees Lena becoming a more powerful caster than her. Lena and Ethan use the locket to re-experience the flashback in its entirety and it reveals their ancestors, caster Genevieve Duchannes and mortal Confederate soldier Ethan Carter were in love. Ethan was shot in battle and Genevieve revived him using a forbidden spell that caused her to go dark and curse the women of the Duchannes family line. They consult with Amma, who is in fact a seer/keeper of a caster library beneath the town library. The most ancient of these books, the Book of Moons, reveals the secret to undoing the curse: one of Lena's loved ones has to die to sacrifice the curse. Unwilling to take Ethan's life, Lena instead erases his memories of their time together.
Ridley seduces and enchants Link and gives him a bullet to use in an upcoming Civil War reenactment of the Battle of Honey Hill taking place on Lena's birthday. During the reenactment, Link and Ethan agree to "kill" each-other so they can ditch the reenactment. While at the ceremony for her 16th birthday, Lena feels the shock of the curse being broken and runs off to Ethan, clutching his dying body as Ridley and Sarafine egg her on to give in to her grief and accept the dark willingly. Lena lashes out in anger, sending lightning strikes through the crowd reenactors until Ethan transforms into Macon, having previously disguised himself as Ethan to become the sacrifice needed to break the curse. His dying words are for Lena to "Claim yourself" and she causes the moon to disappear, stopping it from claiming her for the dark. Lena allows Ridley to flee and pulls Sarafine from Mrs. Lincoln's body, defeating her.
Months later, a still-amnesiac Ethan stops by the library to visit Amma before leaving for a college campus tour with Link and apologizes to Lena for not having gotten to know her during their time in Gatlin. Lena is then seen in the caster library, where it is revealed she's been half-claimed for the dark side. Meanwhile, just after Link drives past the town line, Ethan recalls their memories together and gets out of the car to yell Lena's name. Lena hears and the screen cuts to black.
Living in Darkness, Living in Light?
Which one are you?
OR
Have you been claimed?
I've always enjoyed watching supernatural shows/movies. Of course, not the horror ones but romance. You've vampires and Zombies falling in love with humans, what more are witches or spell casters falling in love with humans?
I did enjoyed the movie, but i wouldn't say i loved it. It was enjoyable to watch, with some laughs and awwws here and there but i wouldn't rate it as the best. It's pretty much a high school flick where you more or less could tell how's the ending would be. May be with just a little twist towards the end, for this movie.
Overall, it's a pretty cool movie to catch with your other half. Especially during the lovey dovey moments.
Well,
Morale of the story:
Love conquers all.
It doesn't matter what kind of love, but as long as you love.
It's weekends all over again, of course weekends are almost as good as considering it "movie time" as well. Since Cathay Cine wasn't showing "Beautiful Creatures" which I've been wanting to catch ever since I came across it's trailer, D's been wanting to catch "A good Day to Die Hard". Thus, we ended watching this instead.
Synopsis ♥
A 2013 American action film directed by John Moore and written by Skip Woods. It is the fifth installment in the Die Hard film series. Bruce Willis reprises the lead role of John McClane, who travels to Russia to help his estranged son, Jack (Jai Courtney), out of prison, but is soon caught in the crossfire of a terrorist plot.
SPOILER ALERT!!
Scroll pass this section to avoid.
In Moscow, Russia, Viktor Chagarin, a high-ranking but corrupt Russian official, plans on incriminating political prisoner and government whistleblower Yuri Komarov without a fair trial when Komarov refuses to hand over a secret file believed to have convicting evidence against Chagarin. In a separate incident, Jack McClane is arrested as a result of an assassination, but agrees to testify against Komarov for a shorter sentence.
John McClane, who has not been in touch with his son for years, learns of Jack's whereabouts and circumstances and decides to go to Russia to help him out. When John arrives and approaches the courthouse that happens to currently hold Jack and Komarov on trial, an explosion orchestrated by Chagarin and his henchmen occurs in the courthouse, and Jack breaks free with Komarov. Seeing his son, John confronts him, but their dispute is cut short when the henchmen, led by Alik, chase them on the streets of Moscow, but John, Jack, and Komarov manage to escape.
Hiding in a safe house, John finds out that Jack has been a CIA Officer in an undercover operation for the past three years. Meanwhile, Collins, Jack's partner, demands the file's location from Komarov, so that the CIA can bring Chagarin down, but Collins is soon shot by Chagarin's men and dies, as John, Jack, and Komarov survive subsequent heavy gunfire and escape once again. The trio then makes their way to a hotel in the city to find the key to a vault containing the file. There, they meet Komarov's daughter, Irina, whom they earlier planned on joining with, but John grows suspicious of Irina. His suspicions are proven correct when Alik and his men crash in and tie John and Jack up, while Komarov is taken as a hostage, and Irina confesses to snitching on them for the "millions of dollars" to be gained. However, Jack manages to break free of his ties, and the father-son duo fights back, culminating in a gunfire exchange that results in John and Jack's escape.
That night, the two steal a car full of firearms and drive to Chernobyl, Ukraine, which is the location of the vault that houses the file, as revealed earlier by Komarov at the safe house. When they arrive, they find that Komarov, Irina, and Alik have already gotten there, but what they don't know is that on their way there, it was revealed that there was never a file in existence, and that the vault is actually contained billions of dollars worth of weapons-grade uranium. Alik is then shot in the head by the seemingly helpless Komarov, who later calls Chagarin and tells him that he and Irina had manipulated the entire sequence of events since the beginning in an attempt to obtain the uranium and get revenge on Chagarin for betraying him. Chagarin is then killed by a subordinate of Komarov's.
At this point, John and Jack enter the vault, discover Komarov's true plot, and take him under arrest. Irina, with another henchman, comes to her father's aid, but before they can escape, Jack goes after Komarov, while John goes after Irina, who is escaping on a Mi-26 helicopter. Irina tries to protect her father by firing the helicopter's cannons at Jack, but John is able to bring the helicopter out of balance by driving a truck in the hangar section of the helicopter, still shackled by a chain, out of the open back door, muttering his catchphrase of "Yippee ki-yay, motherfucker." Komorov remarks that Jack will get to watch his father die and in rage, Jack hurls Komarov off the rooftop, stating that he will die, as well. Komarov falls into the spinning helicopter's rotors and is killed. John jumps off the helicopter and reunites with Jack inside the building. Wanting to avenge her father, Irina rams the helicopter into the building, destroying the building and killing herself in the process, but John and Jack survive by leaping off the building into a large pool of water.
Afterwards, John and Jack return to New York. At the airport, they meet Lucy, John's oldest child and Jack's sister, and the reunited family happily walks off together.
Bruce Willis is back again with another new action movie! And he never fails to give us some good kick ass action. Well, it still depends on the story plot and director but you can't leave out awesome, fabulous actors with good acting skills that gives you such engaging images either right?
D didn't really find it interesting, whereas I was pretty engross with the movie! I do love action movies, and this sure has a couple of fine good action scenes coming on that kept me in my seat. I do admit that there were certain parts that were a little draggy but there's some humour moments as well.
The story plot isn't that bad, at least it's got a story to follow. It's nice and engaging enough, at least for me but i feel it could've been slightly better. It's missing out just a little bit of something. A very small something which actually doesn't quite matter.
I wouldn't say it's a very bad movie on a whole, cause I sure did enjoy it. D said he fell asleep at one point. Well, it's up to you guys to judge and have a say yourself if this movie is a thumbs up or not!
"A Good Day to Die Hard" is SHOWING NOW at local (Singapore) cinemas! But do be sure to check out your movie timings/cinemas before proceeding down!
I have always loved Disney's movies since I was a kid and have never failed to give any Disney movies a miss. Disney movies was my companion while growing up and now, even as an adult my love for Disney movies have not subsided. Instead, it became a form of habit that I have and MUST catch any Disney movies that's been out in theatres!
I have been looking forward and waiting as patiently to catch Oz the Great and Powerful ever since I caught it's trailer while catching another movie at the cinema's! And I definitely went.. "I'M TOTALLY GONNA WATCH THIS!!" to D. Well.. it's pretty bimbotic I admit, but after realizing it's one of Disney's latest movie AND it reminds me of a movie that I have known since growing up, I couldn't help myself!
While growing up, my childhood movies revolved around these couple of movies besides cartoons. The Sound of Music, Annie, Mary Poppins and The Wizard of Oz. And this movie definitely do remind me of that particular movie! Won't you agree with me?
If you have no idea what The Wizard of Oz is all about, here's some spoilers for you!
Dorothy Gale is a 12 year old farm girl living in Kansas with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. Her guardians and the farmhands Hunk, Zeke (Bert Lahr) and Hickory are too busy pay attention to her. Em then tells her niece to find a "place where she won't get into any trouble" causing her to sing "Over the Rainbow". Miss Gulch shows up to have Dorothy's pet dog Toto destroyed after he bit her earlier on. Toto escapes though and Dorothy, knowing she'll be back, decides to run away. They meet Professor Marvel, who claims via his crystal ball that Em is "sick". Believing him, Dorothy heads back to the farm but her family and the hands are in the storm cellar and Dorothy has her head hit by a window frame. Dorothy awakens and discovers they are in the core of a tornado and the house lands with a bump.
Dorothy and Toto enter a technicolor world named Oz and meet Glinda the Witch of the North who states that they are now in Munchkinland, and that Dorothy's house has killed the Wicked Witch of the East. The Munchkins rejoice that the Witch is dead but her evil sister, the Witch of the West arrives and is furious both that her sister is dead and her dead sister's magical ruby slippers are now worn by Dorothy, thanks to Glinda. She promises vengeance on Dorothy and Toto before leaving. Glinda tells Dorothy she can get back to Kansas by going following the yellow brick road to see the Wizard of Oz, who lives in the Emerald City.
Dorothy and Toto en route to the city encounter the Scarecrow, Tin Man and the bipedal Cowardly Lion who each wish for a brain, heart and courage respectively. As they approach the city, the Witch tries to kill Dorothy by spiking the poppy field with poison, but Glinda intervenes, much to the fury of the Witch. The friends eventually arrive at the city and are greeted by both the door keeper and coachman. Dorothy and the Lion get makeovers, while Scarecrow gets fresh straw and the Tin Man is polished. After the Witch sends a threatening message, they meet the Wizard's guard, who eventually gets them in to see the Wizard, who says he will grant their wishes for a service: by bringing him the Witch of the West's broom.
On their way to the Witch's castle, the flying monkeys ambush them and kidnap Dorothy and Toto. In the castle, the Witch blackmails Dorothy, threatening to drown Toto if she does not give her the slippers. After Dorothy agrees, the Witch is still unable to get them due to a shower of sparks. The Witch then remembers the slippers will remain on Dorothy's feet until she dies. Toto escapes and the Witch locks Dorothy in the tower, planning to execute her once the top bulb of her hourglass is empty. Toto finds the trio and they overpower three Winkie guards before saving Dorothy, but are chased by the Witch and her other guards. They soon trap the foursome and the Witch sets Scarecrow afire. Dorothy, in putting out the flames with a bucket of water, accidentally splashes water over the Witch, causing her to melt. The Winkies are now free and reward Dorothy by giving her the broomstick.
Back in Emerald City, the Wizard still refuses to grant their wishes, but after Toto exposes him as a normal middle-aged man, he says he will do so. He gives the Scarecrow a diploma, Lion a medal and Tin Man a heart-shaped clock. He decides to fly Dorothy home in his hot air balloon, but it takes off without her. Glinda arrives and tells her the ruby slippers will get her home. After saying her goodbyes, Dorothy clicks her heels three times and awakens back home surrounded by her family, the three farmhands and Marvel. She claims the hands and Marvel were in Oz and says "There's no place like home", though it is implied Dorothy's visit to Oz was simply a dream.
After reading the plot from The Wizard of Oz, aren't you curious to know how similar Oz the Great and Powerful is going to be? Well, I AM for sure! Though I know it's not going to be exactly the same as the adaptation, I'm still curious to know how the movie will end. I'm more interested to see a twist and a much more interesting version with more fantasy, more magic, some intense action that keeps you wriggling in your seat and of course, not forgetting some sweet lovely romance!
Let's see why I said both movies are similar, shall we?
What do you guys think?
I LOVE "The Wizard of Oz" and I'm DEFINITELY100% sure I'm going to LOVE "Oz the Great and Powerful" too!!

Synopsis ♥
Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved wizard character. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful wizard but into a better man as well. “Oz The Great and Powerful” is produced by Joe Roth, with a screenplay by Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire (credit not final). Grant Curtis, Palak Patel, Philip Steuer and Josh Donen are serving as executive producers.
