How to Train Your Dragon (2010)

sorry for not updating any new post about movies lately peoples~ i have been quite busy with a lot of stuff... so sorry~ but today i have bring you all a new 3D animated film that was produce by DreamWorks~ How to Train Your Dragon~ directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois~ they have both been working together on Lilo and Stitch before~ which is a Disney 2D animated film~ yes~ both of them were once in Disney~ but they have move to work in Dreamworks~ anyway lets move on with the story~

story start with a boy named Hiccup that dreamed to be the strongest viking in the village called Berk~ Berk is a village that were troubled by dragons and most of the villager were dragon hunting vikings~ and all of them were buff and strong~ but then hiccup was a skinny boy that is not really good at fighting... unlike his father which is currently the strongest among all viking and was the leader in the village... so one night when the dragons attack the village again Hiccup decided to try and take out one of the mystery dragon they called the 'night fury' which was never been seen nor capture by any vikings before just to prove to his father that even with this skinny and weak body he can still be a dragon hunting viking... amazingly he manage to shoot down one of it but then no one in the village believe him... so to bring prove to the village he sneak out from his house and went finding this night fury that he have shoot down... after Hiccup found the dragon he can't bring himself to kill the dragon... so in the end he free the dragon and was planning to quite dreaming of being a dragon hunting vikings... but then when he was trying to tell his father that he give up on his dream his father insist him to take the dragon slaying class... so together with another five teenage Astrid, Snotlout, Fishlegs and twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut... they were trained to be a great dragon hunting viking when the adults were set sail to find the dragons nest...

when Hiccup was learning on how to kill all of the dragon... he was curious that why the night fury wasn't trying to kill him when he first free that dragon... as according to the vikings knowledge most of the dragon will attack with killing instinct... wondering around the woods coincidentally he found the night fury was trapped in a small canyon and was unable to fly properly... after Hiccup observe a little while he found out that half of that dragon tail were ripped off from the crash landing at the night Hiccup shoot it... feeling guilty and want to make things up... Hiccup slowly approach the dragon and gain its trust.. Hiccup named it Toothless because its tooth were usually hidden unless it was eating... later on Hiccup have made an artificial tail and saddle for Toothless for it to be able to fly again... but then it will only work with Hiccup help... through out their time together Hiccup found out that up till now all the knowledge that vikings know about the dragon were wrong... one day Astrid found out about Toothless but then Hiccup manage to convince her that Toothless were not danger and ask her to keep it a secret... but when all three of them were flying in the sky Toothless accidentally bring them back to its nest... and they found out about the magnificently huge dragon that was controlling all the dragon so far... and at the same time Hiccup final exam in the dragon training class were about to began...

Hiccup trying to make things between the vikings and dragons right... during his exam he decided to show to the whole village that dragon were not danger at all... but then his father can't see through it... and his was frustrated about Hiccup hiding Toothless... Hiccup accidentally mention to his father that he saw the dragon nest once... knowing that Toothless can bring them to the nest Hiccup father decided to take Toothless for the next time they set sail... Hiccup was upset that his father didn't trust him and he lose Toothless at the same time... Astrid manage to cheer him up and he decided to go and stop his father... Astrid and the rest of his classmates help him out on this... soon his father and the vikings were near at the dragon nest and was setting up for war... when his father found out about the huge dragon he regard that he didn't listen to hiccups words... trying to save the whole village he decided to play as a decoy to confuse the dragon... when the father thought that all hopes were gone Hiccup and the others shows up just in time... they free Toothless from the ship and fight the huge dragon... although at the end he lose one of his leg but then he survive and the village were now leaving in peace with the dragon... and he also get his crush Astrid... so is a happy ending...

overall this movie storyline is average i think... but what make it interesting was the way they arrange the movie is very fun and interesting... they have a lots of different dragon design that i didn't mention... and i enjoy watching this movie~ there is not a time that i found it boring... and the animation, effect, lighting, texturing and editing were all top class... it was amazing and it worth spending your money on it no matter is in 3D cinema or normal cinema~ the character design were interesting and funny as well... the dragon Toothless action was extremely cute and it act just like a combination of a dog and a cat~ plus the BGM makes it even more interesting... personally i like the part where Hiccup were trying to convince Astrid to accept Toothless until the part they found out about the dragons nest... the flow were perfect at that part... from nervous until amazed and happy until fear... it was an outstanding movie that i strongly recommended~ and overall the rating about this movie was great as well~ so remember to go and watch it~ i won't mind watching it in the cinema for the second time though~ is totally worth it... i would love to see the making of it as well~ great job to all the workers in DreamWorks~ i am looking forward to their next animation film~ =D

Alice in Wonderland (2010)

well well~ i have been sharing most of the older movies so far~ today i shall share a newer movie that everyone is so looking forwards to watch~ is Alice in Wonderland that was directed by Tim Bruton~ which is also the director of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Batman, Batman Returns and so on and so forth... a director that i personally quite in love with... and this time~ before i move on to the story i will like to add on about the character and the relationship between the character first~ in case some of you get confuse on my way of story telling~

as you all know that Alice in Wonderland is a fairy tale that this girl named Alice fall into a rabbit hole and discover this fantasy world that is full of adventure and excitement~ but then that just happens to be Alice dream... but this film they make it the other way round... what ever happens in Wonderland is real for Alice... and the real name of Wonderland is called as Underland... and of cause there is a queen of hearts in this Underland doing all the horrible stuff to the people there... and there is the Chessur Cat~ Mad Hatter~ the Dormouse~ the blue and wise full caterpillar~ and of cause Tweedledum and Tweedledee~ who ever or what ever that was suppose to appear in Alice in wonderland is there~ and at the same time there is new character in there as well~ such as the white queen that was the red queen sister~ that flying dragon that helps the red queen call Jabberwocky~ a weird sward that was suppose to slay the Jabberwocky call the Vorpal Sword~ but then is interesting~ mad hatter was once a hat smith of the white queen~ and this Underland place is once belongs to be the white queen... and the white queen army is all of those chest piece~ while the red queen army is all of those cards... and they are careful enough to only show the heart cards... and one day the red queen take this away from the white queen using that flying dragon Jabberwocky... and Alice in suppose to be the girl that slay the dragon with the awesome Vorpal Sword and give the kingdom back to the white queen~ and what ever happen in this Underland is real... Alice have also been here when she was a child... she thoughts that it was all a dream... basically thats all of the connections~ so let me move on to the story...

it started when Alice was still a young girl... she keeps on having this dream that she is falling down into a hole and saw this weird world... and as times pass by that dream didn't seems to go away... then the time fasten up a little shows that she is all grown up and is attending an engagement party that was arrange by her father's business partner... when she was being propose she runaway and go after a rabbit... and of cause she fall into that rabbit hole and when into the Underland just like in the fairy tale... not long after she enter that world then she found out that she was suppose to be this land savior of heroine... her job is to stop the red queen ruling this land and slay that flying dragon... and of cause every normal girl that heard this freaks out right? she never even killed a chicken before and now want her to slay a dragon? she keeps on telling her self that it was just a dream and every thing will be alright after she wake up... but of cause it is not a dream~ in the end she still manage to slay that dragon and save Underland from being violated by the red queen~ and when she finally gets back to her own world which just like the fairy tale the the she come back is almost the same time she falls into that hole... she reject her marriage and focus on making her death father business better... oh i think i forgot to mention to you that her father have died... so that is basically the end~

story wise i think it is an typical but interesting way to twisted a fairy tale... from an innocent falling down into a fatal destiny i think this really gives a whole new point of view for Alice in Wonderland... and as the usual Tim Bruton film it is always full of weird and abnormal character with awesome looking make ups and hair style~ i love most of the character were redesigned... Alice wasn't that childish and stupid anymore... and mad hatter become even more mad then usual... that tea party is really funny... although the rating for this film is only like half and half~ but then i still quite like it... partly is because of my beloved actor was in there and partly is because of the amazing CGI they were using in this film... just like Avatar... heavy CGI movie... it worth to watch it in a big screen~ so please do enjoy it~ =D

daydreamer (2007)

this week sharing is daydreamer. directed by Brahman Turner. can't say much about this director since i can't find much about him. all that i can find out is there is a lot of gossip around him about his dating life more then his work on directing. and another thing is that he looks quite young? i don't know. but anyway lets talk about the story.

not a really good movie. talking about gangsters and criminal issues. and of cause include some love story in there as well. but not that romantic. and a lot of naked scene. considering is about criminal. but then sex is not included though. a lot of cursing and stuff going on. and best part is that the main character have some kind of sleep walking sickness. and so he don't know what he was doing when he was a sleep. yet he meet this girl and he have hang out with her when he was sleep walking. that girl fall in love with him and he fall in love with her. he tries to change for her and for some reason the gang brother don't allow this. the whole thing is really confusing. i don't know why the so called "brotherhood" peoples won't allow him to go with this girl and insist to kill him if he leave the gang. okay. maybe is because he have rob some one with them before and they scare that he leek out their information. but then it just don't make sense. he didn't even wanted to be involve with them at the first place. but then they "insist" him to join. i don't know what they trying to tell.

basically i don't know what is going on in this film. there is a lot of unrelated things and one thing that is really bad about this film is the lighting. a lot of night scene and is overly dark. you can't even tell what they are doing. dark scene really kills a lot of movie if use it wrongly. and a lot of character that i find is really unrelated to the show. it just don't make any sense in this movie. personally i really don't like this show. barely half of the movie then i know what they are going to do. just telling you. if you are a movie lover then this is defiantly not a good film to watch. =(

500 days of summer (2009)

hey there. it's a new week and a new movie to share peoples. this week movie is 500 days of summer. directed by Marc Webb. well before i talk about the movie let me share you a little information about the directer first. Marc Webb is more to a music video directer more to a movie directer. he have produce more music video more then movie. such as Daniel Powter - "Lie To Me" music video or Maroon 5 - "Goodnight, Goodnight" so on and so forth. so 500 days of summer is probably the first movie he ever direct. so the way he film it is actually quite unique then other movie.

now lets talk about the story. is really a typical romance story when you start watching it the first few minutes. guy meets girl and girl meets guy. guy fall for the girl and start dating the girl. but this is where the weird part comes in. girl date the guy but then she didn't claim that they are together. and then through out the story they slowly shows you that they weren't really dating at all. and of cause they will have some kissing scene and sex scene. but after all this happen the girl still never once say that the guy was her boy friend. and at the end of the story you will found out that all the relationship thing is only the guys one side imaginary. they kisses and have sex and do every thing that couples will do. but then all the girl wants is probably just a guy that will keep her company. some one like a sex friend or similar to that. in the end the girl merry to some other guy and that guy finally realize that he is just being used and decided to move on with his life.

that is basically how the story goes. is not really a bad idea for a romance story. but what make it interesting is the way they show the story. the way Marc Webb show it make the whole thing interesting. at first he only show that how happy the two of them were when they were together. and then all of a sudden the girl ask for break up. and then this is where the story start to make some sense. they show how the two of them meet and how the started out. but all of a sudden they show you their arguing scene. is a total dramatic changes. but that is what make it so interesting. through out the story they combine flash back and current time line. although you might be confuse at first. but then when you watch till the end you will get the whole story of the guy and the girl. and the title really speaks it all. 500 days of summer is the 500 days the guy spend with the girl named summer. i enjoy watching this movie a lot for the interesting way of story telling. and hope you enjoy it as well. =) and let me end this post with my favourite scene through out the whole movie. the part after summer get married and meet the guy at one of his favourite spot in the city and they talk.
