Movie: Experiencing the Hangover...

I have finally watched the 3 sequel to the movie 'The Hangover'. However, rather than watching it in a numerical order, I'm watching it in the sequence of 2, 3 followed by 1. However, out of the 3, I still find the 2nd to be the best. Anyway...

The main idea behind the first 2 sequel is pretty straight forward. A group of friends calls for a big celebration and they ended up drinking. As they woke up the following day, one of them has gone missing and none of them has a clue and memories of the events that have happened the previous day. Hence, the search of their important memories and their missing companion begins... As for the last sequel, it's interconnected to the first 2 sequel. However, it's not as hilarious as the first 2 sequel, especially when they have dropped the 'Hangover' idea in the sequel. Either ways, this comedy trilogy is worth giving it a shot and it's one of the better comedies over the last few years. :D

Movie: Shield Of Straw

In order to protect a criminal, are you willing to go against the whole nation?

Poster of the movie 'Shield Of Straw' This movie is based on the novel titled 'Shield of Straw'. In order to seek revenge, an important person of the political circle has put up a death notice which is worth one billion yen. Therefore for the sake of the appealing prize money, the whole nation has gone all out trying to track down and murder the criminal. Therefore, it ended up to be a group of policemen going against the entire country sorta situation. Furthermore, even the people around you, can turn against you within the next second... Therefore at the end of the day, who do you think has committed the most unforgivable mistake at the end of the day? Is it the criminal? Or is it the Policemen that have been protecting the criminal? Or is it the civilians that are trying to kill the criminal for the sake of one billion dollars? Or is it the important person of the political circle, who is trying to seek revenge. Well, this would be a good question that is worth giving a thought. :)

Movie: Now You See Me....

and Now You Don't. Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not a magician. In fact, I have seen this interesting movie a few weeks back and I suddenly realised that I haven't written about this movie.

Image taken from the official site of 'Now You See Me'. As for this movie, it's like a mixture of a few movies. There's a bit of the magical elements of 'The Prestige' mixed with the 'Police and Thief' sort of story from a typical 'Police' film. The plot is very interesting. Just when I thought that the movie has come to an end, it continued and ended up to be a far more bigger conspiracy than one could have expected. By the way, although it's supposed to be a film revolving around 'Magic tricks', but I personally find the overall plot of this movie to be far more entertaining. :)
