[Movie Review] Rio (2011)

by Daniel Chiam

Originally Funny 7.5/10

At first I was reluctant to watch this movie but after watching it, I can say I am far off from being regret.

The story was predictable but how does the story goes is really the actual fun and colorful part. The whole animation is just colorful to watch, in many ways it does cheer you up!

I love all the original jokes in the movie, seriously it will make you LAUGH OUT LOUD! The combination of Will.I.Am and Jamie Foxx is the most awesomeness, and you can't stop laughing every time the duo showed up.

A lot of epic moment in the movie, its not memorable but its sure is laughable. All in all, Rio is a chillax movie with great laughter to just hangout with your fiends.

Insidious Me

by Daniel Chiam

Every now and then I think of you,

mostly that's the only thing I can do.

Infatuation seems so harsh on me,

love is somehow just too far from reach.

You were always there but I am not.

I wonder when is this going to end?

Living in reality is such a pain.

Oblivious trust toward what was told,

verdict of fools is the one I hold,

Each day I make believe that I am yours.

You of course will never notice,

out of the dust I am no different.

Until tomorrow ends,

every moment I love you.

Am on High 6/10

This movie is anything but logic and logic is dull. Neil Burger has every right to make the visual effect with such ecstatic flair. It's fresh and it brings out the best element for the movie.

It's not an epic movie but it's good enough to get you high and imagine what can you really do if you are able to get a 100% access to your brain.

Great performance by Bradley Cooper. You can really see the protagonist's transition from the beginning until the very end of the movie and Cooper is such a charmer. Then there's the legendary Robert De Niro, which he's presence itself already bring such a huge impression in the movie.

All in all, this sci-fi fantasy movie brings out the question if the possibility for such event to take place and what would one really do about it. Its fun to watch and it just wants to make you get high, haha.

[Movie Review] Just Go With It (2011)

by Daniel Chiam

Watchable 4/10

A romantic comedy which sets quite a predictable story line. Aniston and Sandler is pretty much comfortable in what they do best, and the movie is just like a walk in the park for them with not too much effort to try and make the movie really funny.

There was moment here and there that make you genuinely laugh, and you can't deny that the presence of Nicole Kidman does bring additional spice to the movie. It's been awhile since you last see the silly funny side of her in any movie. 

Overall, its a typical Adam Sandler's movie. Great cast, great acting but it's always come short in delivering out the best of the movie as a whole, and when it involved kids, you'll see family value in there somewhere. 

Not a movie to be wowed, but good enough to fill in a Saturday's night slot for a chillax moment with a little laughter and mushy feeling for the day. 

Wall Climbing, Triumph!

I seriously think that I should write down Wall Climbing in my resume! Does it in any ways make me look like a hardworking man that will do and endure everything just to get to the top? Haha

I just wanted to personally thank Grace and Kay for giving me such an opportunity to be able to spread my wings and conquered my fear of height.

I do have to admit that I am not that scared of height anymore [(mind over matter) wahahaha ya right!] :D 

Thanks for keep pushing and cheering me till I really reached the top. I almost gave up twice but Grace won't let me down, not until I really drag myself up that wall. Its really is a great sense of achievement once you tap your hand against the top wall. It's like you're finally conquering yourself for the first time.

Despite all the smells of shoes that you get from climbing, and muscles pain, and six packs that you thought suddenly came out of no where, I would love to go for another climb next time.

I'm seriously thinking about buying the shoes and finding a way to go there every weekend. Transportation is hard! Oh well, maybe I'll just do some push up of my own first (KONON LAH!) and when I have the chance then only I go there to be cocky again.

Haha, yes! I am very cocky after my first time reaching the top. As if I own the world :O

Hopefully I get to see all of you climbers again next time :D Thanks again Grace and Kay Kastum!

Until next time, see you around my friend =)

Yours only:
