Movie Review.....

has been enjoying few movies
when i was at Genting for
the whole 4 days 3 nights
vacation to relax somehow
that ended me to watch
the following movies...



The Sorcerer's Apprentice

not to be mistaken for a spin-off one of the Harry Potter films, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is Disney's attempt at revitalizing forgotten tales such as "Fantasia" and "Bedknobs and Broomsticks". Starring Alfred Molina and the falling Nicholas Cage, this supernatural kids flick will leave you, for the lack of a better term - stupefied.....


Cage plays Balthazar Blake, a never-aging mortal apprentice to Merlin who is on a mission to save the world with the help of Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel). One by one, evil wizards are released from a "grimhold" and the due must extinguish them before it is too late. The opening credits have few familiar names, director of "National Treasure", writer of "Mona Lisa Smile", Monica Bellucci from "Matrix Revolutions" and the producer firmly reminds us as a good cast and crew does not guarantee a good film...


The new york nerd, social outsider since childhood Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel) has been a physics nerd who builds Tesla coils in his spare time, becomes to share a good question, that asked "Is sorcery science, or magic?" this is how obvious that the scene just like Mickey Mouse in "fantasia"... There goes when the famous One Republic theme was also shared in our ears - Secret... It seems to be symbolizing that Dave has the secret towards the girl he fallen in love, and also it symbolizes the truth of what really happened towards the 8th century England where lives the Merlin and the evil Morgana.....

Movie Rating : 9/10





*****





Inception

there goes the narrative and mixture themes of memory, self-deception and grief in "Memento", and the same time love his visual presentation and action sequence in "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight", this movie seems to be the combination of both... With stunning visuals, familiar scores which has the Hans Zimmer's electronic and almost Gothic orchestra in "TDK", the theme added for the film is just simply suited those who crave more than just a feel good movie.....


The 30 minutes before from the beginning seems to be a little boring and has too much leaning towards explanations but the movie starts to pick up its pace after and amazes you with both its character build-up, architecture, mystery and action sequence... This film is really not a film for you to sleep at and also have a 10 minutes bathroom visitation because Cillian Murphy is a guy that requires you to focus, if not there goes the frowning of 45 minutes.....

Movie Rating : 8.5/10
