atReview - We're The Millers

After a series of drama, to lighten up my mood, I chose We're The Millers. A comedy filled with lost people. Why lost? Because the father is the drug dealer, the mother is a stripper, the brother is a very weird one, and the sister is homeless. Lost in their situations, tries to solve their problems by going together as a family called the millers to smuggle weeds to the states.

There are lots of funny situations along the way, especially when they met an RV Family : The Fitzgerald who turns out to be a DEA. This made the situation difficult, since the family felt quite attach with the fake family. In one of the scene, David (Jason Sudakis) and Rose (Jennifer Aniston) is trying to steal the family's RV key and end up in a situation where the parents is trying to make love and think that they are coming to heat up the situation. To cover their mission, they try to work things out and act interesting in the idea of wanting an orgy party.
In the same time, their son Kenny (Will Poulter) is falling in love with the fitzgerald daughter named Molly. Trying to teach Kenny how to kiss a girl, Casey the homeless sister gives some tricks to Kenny and practice it in front of their parents. Without their knowing, Molly is coming to their RV and see the scene where Kenny is making out with his sister. This made the whole situation become weirder and weirder.
This movie is hilarious and genuine in its own way. The story is simple and straight. You will also be pampered by Jennifer Anniston 47 HOT body, and I repeat HOT body in this movie. Until now, I'm still wondering how she did it. The body is just perrrfeeecct! Way to Go Jen!
Well you may know the end will become romantic and happy ending, and it did! They become a real family in the heart. We could see that bad jobs doesn't mean they are bad persons, they just want to make a living. Deep down, they just a simple human being with a heart.
I give this movie 4/5 stars!

Review - RIPD

The first time I see the trailer this movie was in a movie theater, don't really get a clue what RIPD means even though there's a small caption under the text "Rest In Peace Department".
The movie tells a story about a Department that God made called RIPD which main duties is to caught 'deado' which means dead people that runs from their dead and back to real life and create chaos in the real life, or in short a zombie criminal :p.
Well, Ryan Reynolds act as Nick a police detective who has a wife Debby that he loves so much. In one of his duties, he and his partner (Hayes by Kevin Bacon) accidentally found pieces of gold, and they share the gold together. Pushed by his conscience he tell Hayes that he want to back down and he won't tell anybody about the gold.
Jeff Bridges in the other hand, act as Roy, a senior detective of RIPD. He has become one of the RIPD team since the cowboy period. Work as a solo detective and never wish to had a partner since his last partner betrayed him and kill him. Well, this become one thing in common between Roy and Nick.
One of the uniqueness of a RIPD team is, you won't be seen as who you are, as an example Roy is seen as a  tall blonde sexy girl by the living people. Nick is less fortunate than Roy, he is seen as an old chinese man with his khaki jacket.
Turns out the gold found by Nick was one of an ancient pieces of artefact that could open the gate between the deado and the real life, by opening this gate all of the deado will fall down to the earth. To stop this from happening is their main mission.
This movie is not full of surprises as I thought, much similarity with Man In Black the differences is only MIB played against aliens but overall its almost the same. Its just an OK movie, nothing really meaningful to see from the first to the end.
I give this movie 3/5 stars!

Review - The Lone Ranger

This movie was released in the mid of 2013 if I'm not mistaken. I finally decided to watch it, since I can't stand to delete a Johnny Depp's movie, feels like I made a big sin if I did.
After getting home from the office, I decided to watch this movie with my kids, since this is a Disney production. Here goes the review :

Starred by Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, this was a fun movie. Although the movie is a series in my childhood times, I can not reckon the movie so it was incomparable with the old movie version.
The movie told a story about Tonto played by Johny Depp, an Indian who lost his tribes and also John Reid a state district attorney played by Armie Hammer.
John Reid went to his hometown after finishing his studies in the big city, on his way home he met Tonto who get caught by the Texas Ranger and going to be punished with the most wanted outlaws named Butch.
Faith somehow made them become a companion in a journey to reveal whose their real enemies. Tonto wants to revenge his old enemy who killed all of his tribes and John want to reveange his brother killer. Although the journey is not as exciting I thought it would be, since an indian should be full with surprises of reading the nature, but the journey is quite fun.

Tonto was played with weird character, and as always Johnny Depp is like the expert of weirdness. The character itself is not a surprise for me, since I feel like watching pirates of carribean in a different suit. They put the character too weird, I wish for once Johnny Depp plays a natural character that might give this movie a whole lot more meaningful.
Actually this movie is less than I expected, I thought it will be more entertaining. Anyway it's an OK movie. So, I gave this movie 3/5 stars!

Review - Last Vegas

This movie will give you a new insight of what you are going to experience when you are older. Older means above 55 years. Michael Douglas plays as Billy, Morgan Freeman as Archie, Robert De Niro as Paddy and last but not least is Kevin Kline as Sam. 
They were friends since they were 6, calling themselves as fatbush four. Well time flies and in their old days, sometimes they still contact each other. But, when they call each other the frequent questions is "cancer", "prostate" or "surgery". The picture kind of struck me, will I be like that when I'm old?
Anyway, Billy got a girlfriend, and he's the only one who doesn't married. He hooked up with a girl half his age. Finally, he proposed the girl and plan to get married in Last Vegas. 
To celebrate the marriage of their best friend and to run from their boring lives, the fatbush four reunite to celebrate and held a bachelor party for Billy. On their way to the hotel, they met a girl round their age named Susan. She sings at the other hotel, but she's a lovely and kind girl and finally get caught up with the gang!

Filled with legends of movies, this movie is definitely worth to watch! You will see lots of wrinkles and freckles here and there, but in a good terms. They will also let you picture, what you will be in your old days. Loosing your loved ones is inevitable, but having friends at your side in definitely a great gift from God!
One of the lesson I learned from this movie is to keep your friends intact, they will held you and never let you down. 
By providing a great movie and fun to watch, I give this movie 3,8/5 stars! I hope you enjoy the movie as much as I enjoy writing my review.
