Edge of Tomorrow Review

IMDB rating: 7.9
Synopsis: When Earth falls under attack from invincible aliens, no military unit in the world is able to beat them. Maj. William Cage (Tom Cruise), an officer who has never seen combat, is assigned to a suicide mission. Killed within moments, Cage finds himself thrown into a time loop, in which he relives the same brutal fight -- and his death -- over and over again. However, Cage's fighting skills improve with each encore, bringing him and a comrade (Emily Blunt) ever closer to defeating the aliens.

Brilliant movie! I watched it twice. Some people might think it's stupid after reading the word 'alien'. I know. I am one of that person. Alien themed movie is just too absurd for me. But wait, this is not your ordinary ridiculous alien movie. It actually didn't even care much about the alien. It's just about the major who had to die and relive again and again.

Watching this movie is like you're playing a game. You died and you got the chance to have another life over and over again. It must be inspired from a gamer's point of view. It's just brilliant. You won't get bored watching this.

The Hundred Foot Journey

I wasn't convinced when i first read the synopsis. So, i ignored it. A few days ago i read a recommendation from a blogger. She reviewed this movie and talked about how good it was. Influenced by her, i gave myself a try.

The result? Disappointment!

I should've known. Its just a melodramatic movie. Not realistic. Like a plain bollywood movie, too much unneeded dramas. IDK. Its just not my taste. Some people might like this but not me.

IMDB rating: 7.3
Synopsis: Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is an extraordinarily talented and largely self-taught culinary novice. When he and his family are displaced from their native India and settle in a quaint French village, they decide to open an Indian eatery. However, Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren), the proprietress of an acclaimed restaurant just 100 feet away, strongly objects. War erupts between the two establishments, until Mallory recognizes Kadam's impressive epicurean gifts and takes him under her wing.

Home Sweet Hell Review

IMDB rating: 5.4

Don Champagne (Patrick Wilson) seems to have it all: a successful business, a perfect house, perfect kids, and a perfect wife. Unfortunately, when his wife, Mona (Katherine Heigl), learns of Don’s affair with a pretty new salesgirl (Jordana Brewster), this suburban slice of heaven spirals out of control. Don soon realizes that Mona will stop at nothing, including murder, to maintain their storybook life where “perception is everything.”

My opinion: There's something about Katherine Heigl that i think hmmm... Her acting? Her face expression. Or something i dont know. There's something about her. Or maybe it's just the character. It's just a sick movie for me. Seems like a dark comedy, but it's not even funny. It's watchable but not great.

*Oh, but i think the song was nice though. :)

If I ask a simple question
Do you promise to be true?
Swear to me you'll listen 
As I whisper this to you
How much do you love me?
How much do you care?
Spare me no details, my sweet 
My little cuddle-bear
More than the moon and the stars up above 

The Wedding Ringer Review

Socially awkward Doug Harris (Josh Gad) is two weeks from marrying the gal (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting) of his dreams, but he has a problem: He doesn't have any groomsmen for the occasion. Desperate and running out of time, Doug calls upon Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart), owner and operator of Best Man Inc., a company that provides attendants for friendless grooms. As Doug tries to pull off the con, a bromance unexpectedly blossoms between Jimmy and himself.

My opinion: Very fun to watch! Not boring. The movie just keeps grabbing your attention and make your mind busy. Really fun especially on those days when you feel bored and unmotivated. :)

IMDB rating: 6.8

My Love Don't Cross That River Review

imdb rating: 7.9

Me and husband watched this on Mother's Day night. He bought some cakes for me. Very thoughtful of him. Though i know he is not like that. You know my husband might be anything but he is not romantic and he's not full of surprises.

We watched this documentary on channel News Asia. They separated this into two parts. My husband didn't watch the first one. But i did. And i cried the whooooole time. It's funny how a documentary could be that sad. Well, you know, any movies that comes from korea will make me cry. I dont know what's wrong with them all. They just know how to make me cry!

This documentary is about an elderly couple, wife (89) and the husband (98) have been married for almost all their lives. The camera follows them through the last days of their lives. You see they're so old and the age started taking effect on them. Especially the husband.

I think this documentary doesn't need synopsis or recommendation at all. You should just play it in front of you and watch. That's what i did. I had no expectation from it. But wow, how it gripped my memories and emotions, just left me speechless.

There are things they reminded me of:
1. My grandfather - during last days of his life.
2. My husband and i.

We both sobbed while watching this. He hold me from behind so i couldn't see him crying. After the movie finished, he said he wants me to die first. I was quite surprised because we always joked about this. Then he said, he doesn't want me to cry for him.

There are many scenes in this movie that could bring tears to your eyes. Mine was when the husband touched his wife's face when she was sleeping. That made me cry like crazy! Oh god, it reminded me so much of my husband and i. Actually everybody can relate to this. Being a married woman myself, And being in this state of hormones and emotions, even husband raising voice to me could make me sob.

So, my rating would be 9 out of 10. Just magnificent!
