Shutter Island (2010)



once again i have well~ delay my movie updating again~ duel to a lots of things that is going on~ so yea~ today i am finally free from work and have some entertainment time~ today the movie that im sharing with you all is Shutter Island~ directed by Martin Scorsese... which is also director of film such as Taxi driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas... and this story was base on a novel that was written by Dennis Lehane... so lets move on with the story~

basically the main focus on this story is about psychos~ crazy peoples that was totally out of any normal mental hospital control... so this kind of peoples were send to an island that was isolated by the out side world... and it was called shutter island... so the story starts with our main character Teddy and his partner Chuck enter this island for an investigation of a missing psycho~ a woman that have killed all three child of hers... soon they both found out that none of the people in this island is telling them the truth... almost everyone in this island seems like they were hiding some secrets... but that is not the main point that Teddy have come to this island... his plan was to find out the killer for his wife~ the missing psycho is just a reason for him to enter this island... his tells Chuck that his wife was killed in a fire... and that fire was the making of Andrew... a few years ago he heard that Andrew was in this island and so he do some investigation on his own and found out that this island was not totally just an island that isolated all the psycho... in this island they were under going some kind of horrible mind experiment... all this information he herd it from one of the psycho that was freed from here once... but not long after this the doctor in this island told Teddy that the missing psycho has return safely...

but Teddy get this massive headache in the middle of the investigation and then he have some weird dream about his dead wife and the time when he was in the army... his wife tells him that Andrew was in this island and wanted him to help her have revenge... but then at the same time she also asked him to let her go... she was dead and he should move on and escape this island... is confusing right~ but then at the end of the movie it will all make sense... so anyway~ after he wake up from his sleep he found out that the island was facing some serious problems and all the danger psycho was like run lose in this island... and so he find this s great chance to go and explore in the danger psycho building and find Andrew~ but then on the progress he lost contact with his partner and then soon found out the real missing psycho at a small hole at the edge of the island and she told him all about this island... they were really going on some human experiment in this island... the experiment room was in the light tower... and she also tells him that he can't trust his partner...

so losing his partner and don't know what to believe he decided to go and check out the light tower... and in there they actually explain the whole story... in truth is that Teddy is the one that is hallucinating things... his name was Andrew and he is the one that murder his wife... and the missing psycho never exist... the one that killed three kids was his wife... she drown their kids... and all the plot above was just a way for Teddy or Andrew to escape from reality... it was all him that was doing all the stuff... and his partner was actually his mental doctor that have been taking care for him for two years... and all this investigation thing was just a plan they plan out to make Teddy or Andrew realize the reality... after hearing all this information Teddy or Andrew can't take it and fainted... after he wake up he confess that all those were just his imagination and ways to escape the reality... but later on when his mental doctor ask him what is his next plan Teddy refers him as Chuck again and was still thinking of getting out from this island... and of cause that means that the doctor have to go on some surgery on him to control him...

well~ story wise i think is kind of okay?? i didn't actually explain the whole things in the correct way since i can't really remember it to clearly cause i was almost half a sleep during the movie... i only found it interesting on a part where Teddy is in the light house and was like talking with the doctor about the experiment and the missing psycho was just a plan to lure him on this island to like kill him... but actually it was all him that was hallucinating and it was all a dream... which is actually the almost the ending part... to tell the truth at first i though this movie is about one of the psycho in this island have run lose and was hiding some where in the island and was killing other psycho for survival... but then at the middle of the movie i found it quite boring and have nothing really impact full to me and i almost fall a sleep... but after half the movie i kind of figure out that it probably is Teddy that was the psycho and his wife or partner or the killer Andrew never exist... well i was kind of close... it turns out that Teddy is in fact crazy... and all those person actually exist... just that their identity was wrong... so overall... i think is better you download it to watch?? well... is not a bad movie... but it just didn't hook up my excitement... LOLZ~ but anyway you can have a look if you love mystery psycho thriller movie~ enjoy~ =)

Clash of the Titans (2010)



yes~ today i went to watch movie again~ even though i was busy till the very core of my life!! movie is still a must for me to continue leaving!! so today movie is Clash of the Titans~ directed by Louis Leterrier~ he is the director for The Incredible Hulk, Unleashed and also Transporter 2~ all of them were action movies~ can tell that he is quite experience in action film~ and in truth he is good at finding the best angle for a very good fighting scene~ so you can look forward to watch Clash of the Titans in the cinema~ so lets start with the story~

story is a base on ancient Greek gods and goddess... so the starting is the introductions of how Zeus become god and create human... go and read some Greek history or watch the movie to know more details... so the real story start with a fisherman accidentally found a coffin that was floating in the sea~ he net it up and open and look inside probably expecting some treasure or money.. but then all he found is a dead woman and a new born baby boy~ pity the baby so he took him in and rise him up just like his own son.. name Perseus.. and later on he and his wife (yes the fisherman have a wife) have another baby of their own which is a girl~ but i kind of forgot her name... and after that the story cut until twelves years later when Perseus was big and tall with his family go out fishing... but then lately they have hard time catching any fish because that time human were trying to take over gods place and rule the world with their own power... and coincidentally when Perseus family was about to go an pray for Zeus for more food they come across a bunch of army that was breaking down Zeus statue (which was very very close to the seaside) and the statue falls right in front of their boat~ of cause Zeus got angry and send some one (Hades) to like teach the army a lesson~ and so Perseus family accidentally involve in and all of them died except for Perseus... so the remaining of the army that survive took him into their city and i don't know why bring him to see the king... and at the king's place they have some sort of party like thing to celebrate that they have break down Zeus statue... and at the same time Hades appears again because the queen was blabbing something about how useless a god is and human is more stronger and how pretty her daughter is... and so to teach her a lesson including to make all the human fear of god he ask for sacrificing the princess or else he will destroy this whole city~ and he saw Perseus and tell him that he was son of Zeus... (this is the part were Perseus found out about his real parent)after that the soldiers were questioning Perseus about how to stop Hades to destroy the city and the king also like asking him for help... although at first he refuse and claims that he is not going to fight... but then a girl name Io shows up and tell him about his identity and then it some how ends up that Perseus wants to have revenge on Hades for killing his parent in earth and decided to help the king to stop all this...

and so a bunch of people set out the city to find a way to stop Hades and save the princess~ in the journey they fight Acrisius (consider a slave of Hades?) which was Perseus mothers real husband, big scorpion that can be controlled by some scary zombie looking creature, and Perseus have found his pet a black color Pegasus and was told that no man have ever ride on a Pegasus before, and Perseus also found a sward that was given by his real father Zeus that can only be used by him (when other human hold the sword the blade will not appear) and finally they have reach the witch place and get to ask a solution to stop Hades pet the Kraken~ the solution is to find Medusa and use he gaze to stone fide Kraken... so they when to find Medusa at the underworld and all the guy that was in the journey died but then Perseus manage to get Medusa's head to fight the Kraken~ and before he leave the place Acrisius appear again and killed Io~ full with anger Perseus fights and win the battle against Acrisius and killed him using the sword that his real father gave him~ after Io died and vanish into the sky (since she is the same kind of people like Perseus, half human half god) Perseus set up to save the princess using Pegasus~ although Hades tried his best to stop him because his real target is to become god and kill all man kind including Zeus~ but then in the end he still fail~ so Perseus save the world and Hades went back to his underworld again~ although Zeus wanted Perseus to go back the Olympus but then Perseus refuse and wanted to stay human~ and to show his son that he still loves him although they never meet for so long Zeus being Io back to life~ a happy ending for them~

the whole thing is similar to the Greek story Hercules but then they change a few characters name and add in some new character~ but the story is still just so so~ i even feel that the original Hercules was better... sorry for that... but then what worth watching in this movie other then the CGI is the way they make the fighting scene~ well the angel was nice and the way they edit it was very interesting~ i have fun watching them fighting the big scorpion~ it was funny... well... they add in quite some hilarious scene in there... so it was funny until almost the ending... the fight between Perseus and the Kraken was a total disappointment because they didn't direct fight each other... the whole thing was like when Perseus prepares to get Medusa's head out of a bag Hades send his demons to snatch the bag and Perseus was chasing that demon rather then fight the Kraken... until the end when he get the bag back and shine Medusa's eye to the Kraken and the Kraken stone fide... and die... and thats all... the way he beat Hades was even more disappointing... although he is just a underworld ruler but as a god Hades can't die... so the way although he is just a underworld ruler beat him is by using the sword Zeus gave plus Zeus lightning he throw it towards Hades and Hades was hit fly straight back into the underworld... is weird... but anyway the CGI is really awesome... the whole movie was totally CGI... so at some point is still worth watching it in cinema... if possible go and watch it in 3D cinema~ it will have double the awesomeness~
