Wow 😲, look what we have here – a new movie by Adam Sandler. Another comedy genre that he excels in. However, I think this movie has overly included a lot of product placement and sponsorships. But what surprises me the most, even Mariah Carey is promoted in the movie. The movie itself, is not a genre for everyone and at least not for me. I would personally categorize it as a political comedy movie. While to many this is laughable and a good way to tone down the war and politics subject, but in my opinion some of the jokes are not to my liking. And overly making a joke out of other nationality and how they speak or behave is surely not the best humour subject. I much prefer Adam in a rom-com or some other “smarter” and meaningful comedy movie.

As a Pixar animation movie fan 😍, Wall E is definitely a must watch. The movie trailer itself is enough to lead any 3D animation movie lover to watch it. I am especially amazed and wow-ed by the animators behind this movie as they manage to do a great job in delivering deep emotions in the robots despite them not having a mouth or speak any human language. While in my opinion, this isn’t the best Pixar movie, it is surely one of the best animation movie of the year. It got me thinking about the world we live in now and start questioning what kind of price are we paying for while we rely and depend such highly on technology and the convenience it brings us.

Okay, thank god for the free movie pass, else I would flip chairs. Just when I thought the movie “Forbidden Kingdom” was bad enough, this is above and beyond worst. The one star is my amazement on how the manage to get so many famous celebrity such as Vin Diesel and Michelle Yeoh to be in the movie. While I admire Michelle Yeoh’s hard work, I think she seriously needs to pick the movies she acts in as this is just bad. Don’t bother to try to understand this movie as it has no storyline, no continuity, no character development and no ending. After the movie ended, I practically questioned myself wondering what is the purpose of the show which literally make no sense at all.

Dr. Seuss is back with another fantasy like animated movie. His perspective and how he tells his story from a fantastical view never fails to amaze me. Not missing out on this one, since they had Jim Carrey doing voice over for it! I love how the animated movie is so vivid and colourful, while its humour is on point and not overly done. I also love how the movie also have the same thought and perspective as me. I mean, what if while we kept thinking we are living in big cities and the world is a big place, but what if the world we live in is only a tiny speck in the eyes of others out there. Are we being watched?
