MIDNIGHT SPECIAL

REVIEWED

Notable names in this movie were hardworking Michael Shannon, versatile Joel Edgerton and looks kindda old Kristen Durst. Dont forget the nerdy Kylo Ren, Adam Driver

I chosed to see this movie because of the actors and also the good rating in IMDB. Not forgetting the interesting plot and the trailers. So it was some expectation indeed for the film to bring on. From the beginning the suspense was good as we dont know who these people are (kidnappers?) and what this kid has. From the trailer it looks like some super natural being film. The background music was effective too. Kindda of techno and manage to keep the pacing just right.

Then as you get along and things start to reveal themselves, you were hoping it could have been better ! Even the crooks are "good enough" to tie you up instead of killing with a bullet thou they can do it anytime.

But when the movie ends, to me, it was such a waste on what it could have become.

See this for good acting but with a script that did not hit mark.

DIRTY GRANDPA

REVIEWED

This movie have De Niro and Efron in the lead roles. Most people, I think, chosed to see this movie because of who in it rather than whats in it.

I wish it was a better comedy but unfortunately it seem to be concentrating on other things to make it more marketable such as ZE's body and ass. It has so much dirty jokes and dirty scripts and plots that for sure it is not mend for the kids. Like the title it is a "Dirty" movie. Thou De Niro as the grandpa can be considered as cool, the term "dirty" apply applied here. From his previous movies so far, I think Zac's is being stereo typed as an actor who must show off his body to sell. Thats kindda of lame. As for RDN, its another one of those "passing" movies he want to get involved in.

See it for a session of "dirty" comedies. It could have been more effective if the focus is on the comedy and not on being dirty to be a comedy.

REVIEWED:

This is nothing more than a nostalgic documentary on Tower Records which was very big in the 70's and 80's when the vinyl's industry was at its peak. It has lot of interviews with the founders, managers and employees. How the business bloomed from an idea was interesting thou. Its record stores were gigantum where an inside look of it showed like a factory where famous celebrities once visited even those from Britain including Elton John and Jimmy Page. Thats shows how big it was.

Well it met its demise when people can download music from the internet or perhaps earlier than that when people can copy the originals on CDs and still mantain its quality.

Come to think of it "How do musician survive these days. When their effort can be robbed in seconds of piracy ?"

This documentary is good for those who wants to walk down memory lane.
