Review - Parker

Anyway, I watched this movie because I see one of the main actor is Jason Statham, maybe I'm not the biggest fans but I always have time for his movies. Parker was played by Jason Statham (Parker), Jennifer Lopez (Leslie Rogers), Michael Chiklis (Melander), and also Nick Nolte (Hurley).

Actually I'm not quite satisfied with this movies, since it's seem so generic. Statham in action movie was nothing much to expect, just like this movie. If I want  to compare this movie to Crank, the story line of Crank is so much better than Parker.
The story started with Parker have a relationship with Hurley's daughter, Parker is a thief but a decent thief. He doesn't like killing, etc some kind of a conscious thief if I may say :). Anyway, Hurley put an agreement to handle a robbery project for Parker and team him up with a bunch of robbers. They put a robbery scheme and the scheme turn out quite successful. So, the robber team want to  deal another humongous project with Parker, but he have to decide right on the spot. Since Parker rejected the feud begun and the shooting scene begun. This is where the conflict begun, the trigger for the whole movie.
Parker went to Miami to chase the robbers who take his shares and this is where he met Leslie Rogers a property sales. Leslie who is broke, tries to involve in the business and almost get her self killed.
This movie is a very typical Statham movie, shot here and there, fight here and there, wounded here and there, only a slight differ in the end. But, I still love Jason Statham though so I give this movie 2,3/5 stars!

Review - Broken City

This is the second russel crowe movie I've watched in 3 days. Broken city, starred by Mark Wahlberg as Billy Taggart and Russel Crowe as Nicholas Hostetler and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Cathleen Hostetler.

The movie started with Billy Taggart's trial for murder, and he was released because of the reason self defense . The movie rolls again about Billy's relationship with a girl named Natalia Barrow, who turns up to be the sister of the girl he proclaimed to defend on the first place.
Well, I thought it was going to be politics, filled with intrigue here and there, but it's not as deep as I expected.
Even though there are political issues, but it was something we expected. Everyone kept the secret of everybody so they could use it in time. In the movie, I am amazed with Catherine Zeta-Jones' beauty, she's one of the kind. She really steals the attention with her elegance , maybe because I haven't watch her movie in a very long time, but she did well in this movie.
At the end, everybody paid their price for their sins. Not much surprise as I thought it's going to be, but it's an OK movie I think.
I give this movie 3/5 stars!

Review - Man of Steel

I watch man of steel last saturday, with my son and husband. I know it was kinda late to watch this movie, since the studio played it for over a week now.

I never really liked Superman, this might be the first time I really watch Superman movie. I'm not really a fan of him, I watch other superhero movie but somehow I got lost when it's about Superman.
Man of Steels starred by Henry Cavill, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Michael Shannon as General Zod, Kevin Costner as Clark's Father, and also Diane Lane as Clark's Mother, and also Russel Crowe as Jor-El.
I called this movie full, because there's so much to take in for more than 2 hours. The movie describe how Kal-El/Clark Kent born, and then his parents move him to the earth because their planets is going to blow. I really like Russel Crowe's act as Jor-El, he really think thoroughly, very anticipative. He really predict everything, even in the future, this is the fun part.
Anyway, like a normal human being, Kal-El also suffer from self identification, since he's quite different from other human being. His  father told him to keep his differentiation low, since human being doesn't really except differentiation. As you'll see from all of Superman's movie, he has a very loving family this also shown in Man of Steel. A loving parents, a down to earth people and it helps him to find the right path.
I'm kinda annoyed with Amy Adams, somehow I feel she's not the right match for Henry Cavill, they don't look like a pair. I keep on comparing Amy Adams with Teri Hatcher. But, her act is quite good even though the chemistry between them is kind of forced.
In all of superheroes movie there's always a blow here and there, you could see it here too. The whole city is blown away, the special effect is very good, they could picture the machine and the blowing thing in a perfect way.
Over all this is quite a good movie, my son likes it, my husband likes this movie more than Iron Man 3. But, I still think this movie is too tight..too many things to absorb in 2 hours, is it because my brain is full with things?? I really don't know XD.
I give this movie 3,5/5 stars!

Review- Life of Pi

The movie is based on a book by Yann Martel with the same title "Life of Pi". I haven't read the book, so I can't compare it with the movie, so I will stick my review only with the movie.
The movie in my opinion is about survival, about believing in ourself in any circumstances.
The movie was starred by Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, and also the bengal tiger. The movie is about a boy, Piscine Molitor - named by his father after a swimming pool in Paris. With that kind of name, Piscine always become a joke by his school friends, so he changed his name with Pi - a mathematical constant ratio for a circle.
Pi grew up in a zoo, his father was the owner of the zoo. One day, the zoo who used the city park was asked again by the local government, so they have no choice but moved to Canada. This is where the real story start.
The story start when the ship they used was sank, and Pi was left alone in a small boat with a bengal tiger named Harry Parker. If it was me, maybe I have become the bones stranded in the sea. Pi was stranded in the sea with Harry Parker for about 2 months, could you imagine that?? Finally the boy and the bengal tiger made a pact that they will respect each other territory, and become family since there was nothing left besides them. Pi, will placed plastic container so when the rain comes they could filled the container with water. He will also do the fishing, so both of them could eat. A very amazing survival mode, Pi is extremely creative and devoted to Harry Parker. There was one scene where he hijacked the boat and let Harry Parker stranded in the sea, and from that moment on they realized that they only have each other.
The movie was great, the scenery in the ocean was beautifully shown along the movie, I enjoyed the scenery very much. After I watch the movie, I realized how small I am in this whole universe, and how lucky I am. Suraj Sharma shown the depression, the giving up moment, the fighting, the sadness of loosing your whole family and the reviving moment very well.
This is one of the must see movie, I give this movie 4/5 stars!
