Pokémon: Detective Pikachu [2019]

May 13, 2019

Robinsons Galleria,
Seat: C23
Price: PHP290.00

Starring:
Ryan Reynolds as Detective Pikachu
Justice Smith as Tim Goodman

Directed by: Rob Letterman

The Story/Actors:
The story evolve on finding what truly happened to Harry Goodman, Tim's father. Tim and amnesiac detective Pikachu's tandem were cute. Expect the hilarious adventure with Ryan Reynolds classic humor. To be honest, most of the time I see Ryan Reynold in Pikachu not as Pikachu but as Ryan Reynolds throwing jokes at everything. I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe because I'm familiar with Ryan Reynolds more than Pikachu.

The list of Pokemon in the movie aside from Pikachu: Mewtwo, Psyduck, Aipom, Mr. Mime, Charizard, Jigglypuff, Greninja, Torterra, Bulbasaur, Ditto.

Of course, you can also find Eevee, Machamp, Doduo, Gastly, Haunter, Magikarp, Gyarados and a lot more but doesn't have much role.

Verdict: I liked it. The humor is exactly what I want. The adventure. The twist. Maybe, appearances of the Pokemon, I kinda want them to be more realistic. I don't know. It looks like so teddy bear to me.

Ratings: ★★★★☆

Wait, my ticket says, PokUmon? What the heck Robinsons Movieworld?

Crazy Rich Asians [2018]

August 27, 2018

Robinsons Galleria, Cinema 7 (Seat K25)

Cast:

Constance Wu as Rachel Chu

Henry Golding as Nick Young

Michelle Yeoh as Eleanor Sung-Young

Gemma Chan as Astrid Leong-Teo

Directed by:

Jon M. Chu

The Story

I can say that this is a typical story of an Asian mom who needs to approve the chosen soon-to-be-life-partner of their kids. Meeting the parent/s are the most dramatic scene of this type gathering.

The Actors

Hat's off for Henry Golding for this one. For being his first time acting career ever is not a bad choice. In fact, he's really a good fit. Not having a six-pack-abs is not a hindrance to be liked by lot of girls.

I don't know why but I love Gemma Chan's character as Astrid. And I'm really convinced that she's crazy rich and fashion icon.

The Best Part

Rachel's (Constance Wu) real talk with Eleanor (Michelle Yeoh) while playing Mahjong.

Verdict

I love the story. So relatable. Not for being crazy rich of course, duh, but being having an Asian mom who's meeting a girl that is never enough for her son.

I was expecting that Kris Aquino's (Princess Intan) character to be relevant to the story because of the interview to the book writer Kevin Kwan once said that she's the highlight of the story. Wait, what? How come? Being a writer of an article that has been criticized be a highlight to the film? But I must admit, her entrance is kinda a highlight. Maybe, in that case, I would have to agree. You can feel that she's an important person to be in that room of rich people's gathering, the weeding. But her appearance can be easily remove if they wan't to because it will not affect the story. AT ALL! 

But no matter, I still love it. It made me cry, laugh and fall in love with Singapore. The only out of the Country I've been to, so a little bit bias.

Ratings: 5/5 ★★★★★

Directed by: Cedric Nicolas-Troyan

Before going to the moviehouse, I suggest, you should watch Snow White and the Huntsman first, if you haven't watched it yet, because this is the prequel and at the same time the sequel of that movie.

If the highlight story of Snow White and the Huntsman is about running away and chasing, well this time it's all about love. Falling in love, lost love, cursing love, fighting for love and winning love.

Of course, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?” still there and "I do not miss" are the key words to this movie. LOL!

Oh, I forgot to mention, this is a Winter's War, so expect the war during winter. LOL!

What I like about this movie:

- Because it tackled about different kinds of love.

What I don't like about this movie:

- Oh gosh, I don't know. Maybe I should watch it again and find things what I don't like about this movie. Maybe the face of Sam Claflin because he's a lot uglier than the previous one. LOL!

- Oh, I got one, some of scenes are very predictable but then again, you keep on asking "why".

Verdict: Rating 4/5

Best Part:

- When Freya, the Ice Queen (Emily Blunt) stood up for her children (Huntsmen) over Ravenna, the Evil Queen (Charlize Theron).

- When the revelation of what really happened when Eric (Chris Hemsworth) and Sara (Jessica Chastain) got separated by the wall of ice created by Freya.
