Snow White & The Huntsman

Watched With: My Snooqums & The Gossip Gang @ Cathay EHub (7/6)
Genre: Fantasy / Action

Snow White and the Pornsman.

The evil queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron) has weasled her way to the throne with the help of her (rather chee-ko-pek hairstyle) brother Finn (Sam Spruell) and some witchcraft of course.

Her reign in the land is threatened by only one - Show White (Kristen Stewart). So she sends The Hunstman (Chris Hemsworth) to capture her and kill her so that the evil queen may rule forever.
But protecting Snow White are 7 dwarves and also her childhood love William (Sam Claflin).

So mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all

It's actually very fitting that Charlize Theron stands in the middle of the poster because she really steals the show. They should have just called the movie "The Evil Queen from Snow White" because she's probably the best reason to watch the movie.

Another thing I found absolutely amazing is how they rendered the dwarves.
 If it's CGI, then it's seamless but it seems like a lot of work... Why?
They actually had real full sized people playing the dwarves! No shit! Seriously!

I'm talking about people like Ian McShane, Bob Hoskins, Ray Winstone, Nick Frost(!) and even Brian Gleeson! (WHAT? NO WARWICK DAVIS??)

Well anyways, to be honest this movie was kind boring in the middle.
Early parts okay. Last parts okay but in the middle it's a real drag-fest.

I'm thinking DVD is a safe bet on this one.

The Raid: Redemption

Watched With: My Brother & Yana @ The Cathay (26/05)
Genre: Action

"Dan jangan lupa.. bersenang-senang..."

Crime lord Tama (Ray Sahetapy) controls the city from his 30-storey fortress.
With his henchmen Mad Dog (Yayan Ruhian) and Andi (Donny Alamsyah), he is untouchable..

A SWAT team led by Jaka (Joe Taslim) must lead his men to capture Tama
One of those men is Rama (Iko Uwais) - a rookie cop whose wife is expecting their first child.
But it seems like more of a suicide mission than anything else.

BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR SO FAR.

Nuff said.

Final Vedict:

Dark Shadows

Watched With: My Snooqums @ Cathay EHub
Genre: Comedy / Horror

"They tried stoning me, my dear. It did not work."

Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) is the heir to a rich fishing industry. He is cursed by a spurned witch Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green) to spend all time as a vampire.
He awakens in modern days to find his family bloodline still alive but his business in ruins.

So he sets forth to try and rejuvenate the lives of Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer), Roger Collins (Jonny Lee Miller), Carolyn Stoddard (Chloƫ Grace Moretz), David Collins (Gulliver McGrath) and family physician Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter) with the help of his new henchman Willie Loomis (Jackie Earle Haley).

He even has time to fall in love with the family nanny Victoria Winters (Bella Heathcote) whilst trying to save his family fishing business from the evil Angelique who is also still alive and well. Mayhem and comedy obviously ensues.

This movie is supposes to be based on an old TV show. Maybe it should have been left as that. This seems like a vanity project by Tim Burton. Just another excuse to make a movie even if it's boring as hell.

But I have to say that Johnny Depp steals the show as usual.

Might wanna give this one a miss kiddies.

Final Verdict:

The Avengers

Watched With: My Snooqums, Mr & Mrs Porno @ WE Suntec
My Brother & Yana @ Cathay EHub
Genre: Action / Adventure

"You wanna know my secret?"

So this is the big one that everyone was waiting for.
Finally The Mighty Avengers hit the big screen and everyone is clamouring to get a glimpse.

Loki is back on earth and now holds the power to bring humans to their knees or be exterminated.
Nick Fury assembles earth's mightiest heroes to combat this new enemy and he's going to need all the help he can get.

Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye all come together to battle Loki and his space minions. Can they put aside their personal battles to save earth?

Okay my advice is to watch all the individual superhero movies leading up to this movie.
You could choose not to but you'd lose out because quite a number of plot points originate from movies like Captain America and Thor.

And I guess this movie doesn't disappoint.
The early bits are actually kinda boring if you ask me but I guess it really picks up in the end.

And stay after the credits for 2 extra scenes.
