Movie Freak


My plan of hanging out with my friends till late at night and abandoning my useless 17 year old brother at home to starve on maggi mee failed when my parents plan to go to Penang together failed.
I had it all planned out and that old man just had to ruin EVERYTHING !!!
It's not everyday i get my freedom to wander around at night.

And so my night became movie night.
My mum bought four movies from the DVD shop:
*I totally recommend these four movies*

If you're into the whole Greek mythology stuffs then you might enjoy this.
I like Hercules in Disney.
Especially Pegasus Hercules's horse with wings.

Anyway, Percy Jackson is a demigod, half god half human, son of Poseidon, God of the Ocean.
Percy is accused of stealing Zeus, his uncle's lightning bolt and is being chased by all kinds of mystical beings. His human mother is kidnap and Percy must travels to Hell to save her from his other uncle, Hades, God of the Underworld.


There's a bit of a comedic element in the movie.
Not too much not too little, just nice.
I'd give Percy Jackson a 4 STAR.

Percy Jackson is played by Logan Lerman.
Sorry i've never heard of him till now but i do know that he has a Youtube account he shares with a friend few years ago and they used to make short films together.
We will soon see Logan again in the pre-quel of Spiderman in Spiderman 4.

I'm a super fan of Vampire novels and movies.
There isn't much vampire scenes in The Vampire's Assistant but it's not bad.
I just bought the trilogy book at Popular just today.

Darren Shan is a normal good boy kid who leads a normal life with his best friend Steve. But everything changed when they went to a circus, Cirque Du Freaks.
During the performance, Steve recognizes a real life vampire named Larten Crepsley whose real name was Vur Horston. Steve has a desire to become a vampire because he hates his human life. He goes to seek Crepsley to turn him but he gets turned down because his blood is evil. Darren on the other hand had no choice because he stole Crepsley's pet spider and it bit Steve and poisoned him so Darren had to be turned into a half vampire and leave his human life in exchange for the antidote. Darren joined Cirque Du Freaks after faking his death and became the vampire's assistant.

I seriously strongly recommend this vampire movie if you're a fan.
It's funny and weird at some point but a great movie which didn't do any promotion here.
I'd give a 4 STAR for this vamp as well.

You know how old Robin Williams is?
Even i don't know.
I always mix up his name with Robbie Williams the singer.

If you're looking for some serious comedy then this is the movie you should watch. The jokes about grandpas' are hilarious and the scene about camping and golfing is out of the planet. I was laughing my ass out at 3am watching this.

Robin Williams plays Dan, a very very old dad who didn't know that his one night stand 7 years ago ended up popping out a couple of twins. Dan's best friend and business partner, Charlie, played by John Travolta is the reason of that one night stand. The twins, Zach and Emily's mum had to go to jail for two weeks so she had no choice but to seek Dan after 7 years to tell him the truth. Dan then offered to look after his two new 7 year olds after accidentally putting their aunt who was suppose to look after them in the hospital. Dan has two weeks to manage being a new dad of twins and close a big business deal with the Japanese along with his best buddy, Charlie who got dragged along.

A stunning 5 STAR for Robin Williams and John Travolta.

Ok i saved the best for last.
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson plays ice hockey player, Derek Thompson who gets sentenced to a two week Tooth Fairy duties for breaking children's belief in fairy tales and dreams.

The Rock was wearing a pink dress with fairy wings on his back.
Omg i laughed worse when i was watching Old Dogs.

Derek's fairy duties are not like a schedule, they just appear whenever and wherever and when that happens, Derek's fairy wings pop out of his back without notice. His first mission to retrieve a boy's tooth was so hilarious. He became tiny to slip into the house and he got chased by a cat and he couldn't fly. Besides fairy duties, Derek still had a hockey career to maintain and a love life with his girlfriend and her two kid. But his fairy duties keep getting in the way and he almost lost everything.
But of course in the every movie it end with a happy ending.

The Rock made a wise choice to leave breaking bones in the wrestling ring and start breaking box offices.

5 STAR for The ROCK aka The Tooth Fairy
