Tron: Legacy

tronposter

Honestly, i didn’t know what to expect from Tron. I could say that i know nothing about it. I may know a little about it by stumbling upon random Tron-related images on the net like this one, but other than that, zero.

So i watched Tron last night and i must say that i quite like this movie. The visuals and sounds were such a pleasure. I think they definitely made the right choice by having Daft Punk to compose the film score.

Oh and the make up in Tron is awesome. Super thick liner and spider lashes!

Now i really feel like buying the Tron disk thingies that we saw at the toy store just for the fun of it.

Must Watch!: Inception

inception_movie_poster

In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a highly skilled thief is given a final chance at redemption which involves executing his toughest job till date, Inception.

Friggin’ mind blasting movie. I can’t even find the words to describe how well made this movie is. It’s definitely worth the watch. I didn’t even notice it was almost two and a half hours long. A must watch, seriously.

What do you mean you haven’t watched it?! *gives dirty look*

Seriously?: Tekken the Movie

tekken_poster

I was quite excited when i found out that the video game Tekken is going to be made into a movie. I looove Tekken.

It’s one of my favourite games during my Playstation days (and still is) along side Final Fantasy. Though i seldom touch the console nowadays, i still fancy a round of Tekken once in a while. It’s my favourite fighting game.

I love the characters in Tekken. For some reasons, i always stick to using female characters. Maybe it’s the lady in me. I use Nina a lot cause she’s a badass bitch. But sometimes i would also try using other characters like Law or Panda.

Some of their newer characters kick ass too. Especially the chicks!

Panda; not a new character but just showing

Zafira; totally kicks ass

So imagine how excited i was to find out that one of my favourite games is gonna be made into a movie. I wondered how the characters are gonna be like.

But unfortunately for me, when more details and pictures of the movie were released, my excitement turned into disappointment.

In my opinion, the main highlight of movies that are based on video games are their characters. Casting is extremely important for these kind of movies. Also, the cast should have strong resemblance to the game characters from face structure to down right make up!

You get what i mean?

It was such a downer to find out that some of the characters in the Tekken movie don’t even have the basic look of the original characters in the game.

Compare the following pictures.

Am i the only one who noticed it?

Jin is supposed to be ASIAN. And handsome! Not to mention, spiky hair! Apparently this actor is Asian, but he don’t look a thing like a Jin. Plus this Jin in the movie has flat boy-band hair.

You know who would look like a Jin?

Daniel Wu or Edison Chen. They got that face shape but not the body type, i guess. Oh well..

And don’t get me started on Christie. She’s suppose to be Brazilian and TANNED. They should’ve sent this actress for a tanned before filming this movie. I guess the only part they got right is her costume, boobs, and muscular abs.

And from the trailer, Jin and Christie seems to be sending off sparks! Since when they have love connections?! *crushed*

And as for my favourite characters?

Nina and Anna Williams

Meh.

I just hope that their personalities and fighting moves remain the same in the movie.

Here’s the trailer for Tekken the movie. I refuse to pay to watch this in the cinema. A DVD will do, i guess.

Must Watch!: Despicable Me

dm

Another good animated film added into my favourites!

I love animated films with a sense of humor, and Despicable Me is definitely labeled as my type. Honestly, i wasn’t too sure about it when i saw the trailer a long time ago at the cinema. But since everyone was raving about it on Twitter, i figured it was worth giving it a try.

And i say, i like it more than Toy Story 3!

I’m so glad that we got to watch it last Sunday. It was down to Inception or Despicable Me, but we could only make it for Despicable Me. So.. score!

We’ve been watching some serious movies lately (like Bruce Lee movies!) and i guess it’s good to watch something else for a change.

Despicable Me is very entertaining. The characters are one of a kind too; love them. Even more so when i discovered the voice behind the characters.

dm1
The main character Gru is voiced by Steven Carell a.k.a Evan Almighty

dm2
Gru’s mother is voiced by Julie Andrews

dm3
The minions are mostly voiced by the same guy

And also Russel Brand as the voice of the other old fat in the movie. Didn’t manage to find a picture of that guy, but you can see him in the movie trailer.

Everyone wants a minion, by the way. Requests for minions is all over the net! I wouldn’t mind having one or two minions myself too. They can help fetch me things and give me back massages. Oh and probably steal expensive things too cause after all, they are evil minions!

Oh and i almost forgot the three little girls in the movie. Ah you’ll find out more about them when you watch the movie for yourselves :)

One last thing i love about Despicable Me is the musical score.

dmp

Pharrell made it!

I love the song Despicable Me, they played it at the beginning of the movie when Gru made his first appearance. I noticed the song at the beginning because it has a very nice tune to it; some what ghetto.

I was surprised but not surprised surprised when i saw Pharrell’s name at the credits.

The movie is very nice. There was not one part where i felt bored like crickets making noise those kind. Go watch it if you haven’t already!

Here’s the trailer for Despicable Me. Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as i did :)
