The Equalizer (film)

First 30 minutes of the movie, I could have sworn I fell asleep to the extent of snoring like a pig. However, after that 30 minutes of "What the hell is this movie about...?" dilemma, I could honestly say this is one of the best action movies I've seen so far. And I have seen a lot. You certainly wouldn't think Denzel could pull a Liam Neeson and made this movie as awesome as it was.

The equalizer is a spoiler within its own title. It's basically a movie about a mr nobody taking justice into his own hands in a kick-ass way. It's a Superhero movie without the costumes and alien invasions. Mr McCall is your Batman without the batmobile and fancy model girlfriends. The 30 minutes slow introduction was certainly worth it for what happens in the next 2 hours.

The producers I heard were the same ones who made Olympus Has Fallen (Starring Gerrard Butler). In Video Games terminology, I would say that the Gameplay is similar between the two movies. Mr McCall actually listens to the audience yelling "Kill that guy! Shoot him! Don't give him a chance! Run! Face him! Kill!" etc... He does em all without mercy. And as psychotic as this may sound, I love the part where (spoiler alert!) he kills this one dude while staring at him directly into his eyes, watching the life shuts down on the man...

Overall, there are many oohs and aahs moments during the whole movie. Not the kind of movie I'd pay to see again, but definitely recommended to you action movie lovers who wants something different that predictable cliches. An 8/10 for me...

Kick ass!

Resident Evil 6 (PS3)

There are not many 2-player Action Games (or horror, thriller, whichever) out there so we kinda have limited choice. Resident Evil 6, however is awesome! I'm saying this from the point of view of someone who had never played any previous RE games before, except the one on PS 1 where you need a walkthrough to make sense of anything. RE 6 took me a total of about 20 hours of gameplay for all 3 campaigns (Chris, Leon and Jake) and I have Ada's campaign yet to complete.

Out of all the three campaigns, I have to say that Leon's was the easiest (melee mobs and more puzzles than action) but the best was Jake's. The storyline was interesting and I get to play as Sherry, the hot chick in the game. Also, the ending was cheesy and suits my crazy-romantic personality. Chris's campaign had a sad ending but well, someone has to die and certainly none's heard of Piers so we all knew what would happen to him in the end...

The terrible part of the game however was during the final chapter of Chris and Piers's campaign. The gameplay was annoying as you had to fight against time to escape a BOW accompanied by horrifying changing camera angles. I had a feeling Capcom did that on purpose just to test our patience and determination. Other than that, the controls and weapons were easy peasy... Plus, you get ammo all along your missions, so I got that good thing going for me...

I look forward to the sequel of RE. Hopefully, they would stay with the 2-players concept as playing horror games like this is better with a partner. RE 6 was a gaming experience noob gamers like me would memorably enjoy.

As in stars, I would give a 9.5/10... Good game, Capcom!

Cheers,
Ms Anne.

Maze Runner (film)

Spoiler Alert...

Well this was a cool movie to watch. It's kinda like The Hunger Games. The theme is familiar, you know... typical post-apocalypse scenario... Some agency ruling the world and making experiments with teenagers etc...

Despite all the cliches and predictable who's-gonna-die-next events, I would definitely give this movie a 9/10. I think it's brilliant and full of suspense, and the choice of new faces as the cast was cool. You don't get too many "oh I know that guy from this movie" moments throughout the film.

Of course, viewers would compare the film with the novel no doubt. As for me, the movie was good reason enough to read the book. A few alterations here and there didn't really change the entire storyline unlike Harry Potter 3 (which totally ruined it for me). If you had read the book, which in my case I just started chapter 34... you would notice how they rearranged the plots making it easier to understand because let's face it, you are too lazy to read the book and just wanna rely on what the movie tells you.. 

Look out for Minho, one of the main characters in the movie. Somehow the producers managed to make an Asian dude look so macho and tough instead of the stereotype cowardly nerdish... So yeah, thumbs up for my man Minho.

Overall, this movie is billiant in its own ways. I would definitey want to watch it again, and looking forward of not hope for them to make, the next Maze Runner sequel, The Scorch Trials.

Peace,

Miss Anne

I'm just writing this blog to write in some reviews of everything random in my life so there'll be no specific genre.

It's okay if you don't enjoy or care about it, as i said, for my own purposes only...
