Hitman Agent 47

REVIEW
Saw this one at the local cinema Jusco sometime back before this blog was created. So this is a belated review. Hope that i can still recall the movie.
This stars Rupert Friend who is Peter Quinn from the hit series Homeland. He can act as a cool killer all right but physique wise he is no six pack. Also read that the Paul Walker was to have taken this role before his untimely death.What reviewers complain was the usual cheesy lines, poor special effect and acting. But i beg to differ and give this movie a "satisfactory outing" at the cinemas. I like it. There could be follow ups judging from what happened at the end of the scene. Did Rupert did better than timothy ? I think so from his bloody cool acting. And what about Zachary Quinto as the villian ? He's Ok too and not extremely memorable at one. Will sure see it again after downloading. And that to me is good stuff.

REVIEWED (25Sept)
Saw this at the movie due to its :-
1. Good imdb rating
2. Good Jeremy Jay review
3. Can bring minor (Adam)
4. Long time no see movie with family
5. Its the holidays
So i dont mind spending over RM40 for the family.
The outcome
It was OK as i dont expect much but a bit disappointing on how it could have been. I think the director is sticking to make it "real" as possible so as not to over do the scene.
The popular actors like Clarke, Brolin, Galleyhall, Worthington and Knightly maximize their screen time effectively.
But when its over and as i came out of the movie i feel that it was based on a real movie.

Upcoming movies

Many new ones coming. Potentially good. Here are a list of em

Adam ruins everything S01E04

This episode touches on how wrong or close TV's forensic shows with the real thing. You'll be surprise how many and how much. Finger printing and Lie detector are 2 of them. High marks for DNA thou.

The Player S01E05

Lets go another round of bang bang with the Player. Hope its better or at least better what it has been showing. 
 REVIEW
One of the best espisode with lots of action in this one. We also got to see Wesley doing his martial arts. Didnt seem to be your typical Kung Fu but something chinese. He even fought with the chinese guy who acted north korean also from Strike Back. If theres a survey on who do you think could be a Bond girl my vote for Cass. Real British and Classy this chick. The upcoming bond girl is not that hot (not Monica but the younger one).
In this episode Alex try to save this young white hat Indian hacker. The side plot about him and his wife got a bit thicker in this episode too. Good episode i say.

The Brain - Ep2

Now what info can we learn from the 2nd episode of the brain.

What me watched for the day

- Law and Order SVU
- Adam ruins everything
- The Player
- Weirdest World Events (part)

Pay The Ghost

Got to be another disastrous outing for Nicholas Cage with rating of only 5.2 on Imdb. Wait for its appearance.


REVIEW
Express see this muvee ahead of others as it was the only muvee or TV series in the thumbdrive. The attraction is of course Nick Cage is in it. Nice surprise Sarah Callas (of prison break) was in it also as Nicholas's wife.
Wont explain much about the plot as one need to see it. But at least there is a plot unlike most ghost muvees.
Not a horror film fan and watch this with no expectation. But i ended up liking it. I must say the after seeing ghost  muvee satisfaction of this one is even better than Poltergeist2015. No it did not elevate NC's stature in muvees. Even he cant even run in some of the scene. But without him as a veteran actor maybe the muvee wont be as "real" as it had been.
All female actors are slim. Kate, witch woman, professor even the ghost !  But thats a welcome compliment actually.

End Of The Tour

This movie could be great with rating of 7.9 (wtf!) ! on imdb. The cast are good too - Jason Segel (How i met your mother (TV) and other forgettable movies) with Jesse Eisenberg (Social Network and the upcoming Lex in Batman vs Superman). Choose to see definitely.

 REVIEW
This is a true drama about a journalist who is also a so so writer following while interviewing another writer on his last book tour. It happened in 5 days (from imdb), quarrel along the way on very petty and misunderstanding matters but parted away as friends. Then 12 years Wallace (interviewee played by Segal) shot himself. So this is Lipsky (Jesse/interviewer) flashback of that interview.
Its a drama and a lot of yikity yak. Whats important to absorb oneself in this kinda of movie is to get the conversation and ponder on its meaning. Anyway, Wallace seem to be a great writer having written a book thats over 1,000 pages long and yet people buys and read it.
It also tell how friendship built in the course of knowing another person that one admired but due to a work project. Segal was different in this one thou he always play characters that try to be funny but not so funny. Jesse like his usual self. Wonder in real life is the contrast in height of both of them are for real ?
Good film if you expect the film to go this way. Also tells you how an interviewer operates.  Anyway he attended 8 years of interviewing degree (for real or joke ?)
Out of context, are houses in the US built like the one in the movie ? By the roadside with very large window with only glass no fence or grill. What no crimes expected ?
