Superhero fanboys and fangirls all over the world will by psyched by this movie: Marvel’s “The Avengers” released in the big screen not too long ago. This movie is unlike other superhero movies simply because of one thing, the appearance of multiple superheroes fighting together against the villains to save the world. Superheroes who made their appearance in this movie are Ironman, Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow, Thor, and Hawkeye, assembled together as a team called the Avengers Initiative by Nick Fury to stop Loki, Thor's half-brother's plan to invade the earth. Not to mention, all superheroes and Loki feature top of the list movie actors such as Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson. All those heroes combined together? We're talking about some serious power here.

While this movie is very entertaining in terms of the action, it is also humorous and funny. Some scenes in this movie just made the whole cinema theatre burst into laughter. High-octane superhero action meet funny wacky moments and impressive special computer effects and graphics? Marvel’s The Avengers easily scored high in many movie reviews all over the net, and the story here is just the same as pretty much anywhere else.

Rating – 8/10

Step Up 4 Miami Heat

23:53 |


Step up 4: Miami Heat is the right movie for those of you who love drama, especially dancing. It is the continuation of the previous step up collections, this time with a more inspiring, energetic and brilliant choreographies, plus the new actors Kathryn McCormick and Ryan Guzman, including some people from the show of So You Think You Can Dance. Although, the storyline is just so-so, the flash mob choreos, settings of the place in Miami and the songs were catchy and amazing. Mild language and social drinking happened often in the movie, but other than that, this movie was pretty clean and suitable enough for young children to watch. I personally love the way they dance like a robot, I think its really awesome that some people can actually do it. Overall, the movie is entertaining enough.

Ratings – 6.5/10

Pros – great choreography

Cons – just a satisfactory story line

The Notebook

03:03 |



The Notebook is another love story where the objective of the movie is to show that love can lasts forever. It shows a sweet depiction of two people from different social classes falling in love. They break up though they are still in love and your heart breaks along with theirs. Then the story becomes about their journey to find someone else they can love or to find each other again. It contain blends of happy and sad moments, so we would suggest you to prepare a tissue box J. In my opinion, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams were both quite matching enough to play their respective roles and I love the part of their scene where Ryan took Rachel to see swans on the lakes and end up kissing in the rain. I think that is the sweetest part in any romantic movie. Plus, the movie also shows how vintage people dress up, and helps me to follow their fashion sense as well.

Ratings – 7/10

Pros – good setting of the movie
Cons – contain quite a lot of adult content

Shutter Island

08:10 |


Shutter Island is a movie directed by the famous Martin Scorsese, and is also stars Leonardo DiCaprio as the lead main actor. Shutter Island is known to be an island just off the Boston harbours which house Ashecliffe Hospital, a mental hospital for the criminally insane people. This movie is quite intensifying to watch as it features a creepy setting, and sometimes it took place in a dark and mysterious type of place which add up to the tension. The scary feeling you get from watching this ios defferent compared when watching a horror movie, and this sense of curiousity is what makes the audience wonder what would happen next. Shutter island also have a twist in the ending which renders most of the audience to question what is the true ending of the movie. I will not mention of what the meaning of the ending is, as it might spoil you, the reader, if you have not watch the movie.
Ratings – 7/10

Pros – great storyline and unexpected ending

Cons – the setting only took place at one spot

The Artist

07:38 |


Here’s another movie we would like to dedicate to all you reviewers to watch. The Artist, a silent yet entertaining and delightful masterpiece which we guarantee that you’ll have fun. The movie focuses on characters' gestures and expressions, the musical score, and occasional title cards to tell its story of fame, fortune, and friendship. But We can all appreciate that this movie is exquisitely done. With a lovely story, sensational actors (Berenice Bejo, Jean Dujardin), and beautiful choreography. You’ll laugh, or maybe cry. But most importantly, you will be entertained! In my opinion, with no sound and black and white screen, the movie shows the uniqueness and it seems like you’re coming back to the vintage era, the choreography they show was fabulous and very much lively. Overall, the movie is upbeat and suitable for any age, especially to those who are passionate about cinema, it’s a must-see.

Ratings – 8.5/10

Pros – Perfection in every scenes
Cons – Some people might not fully understand each and every scene as it is a silent movie.

Urban Legends (1998)

07:18 |



For those who loves thriller, this is the perfect movie for you. Urban legends, a classic horror movie released in 1998, is a story of an anonymous killer wandering on campus using a bunch of urban legends myths to murder college students. It is guaranteed to give you chills on the spine as it shows an intense and emotionally convulsive scene. Actors in this movie include Alicia Witt, Rebecca Gayheart and many more. What I like about this movie is that it shows a good scares, plot and gore to satisfy any horror fans. I would recommend it for teens who are legally enough to watch these types of movies due to graphic violence, language and adult content. Overall, the movie is reprehensible and quite endearing. You might also want to check out other related urban legend movie collections such as the Urban legends: The final Cut, Urban legends: Bloody Mary. 


Ratings – 7/10

Pros – Great suspense and plot
Cons – Not suitable for underages

500 Days of Summer

07:01 |



500 Days of Summer is an American drama movie where it consists of several characters, Joseph Gordon Levitt (Tom) and Zooey Deschanel (Summer) being the two main characters where they became couples. The film is really refreshing nowadays as it portrays a relationship that is more realistic and less cliché compared to most other movies. It’s funny, unique and true to life. Well it seems to me like that because both the couples seems to be silly at times, because it’s an unusual love story, there’s something more than your usual romantic comedy. It could be because of the exquisite music or its beautiful cinematography. And its true to life as well because the movie taught you a lesson that everyone you meet along the way, whether just passing through or sticking around for awhile, has a purpose. In the end nothing lasts forever, relationships begin, relationships end.

Ratings – 9/10

Pros – realistic and less cliché story
Cons – too much talking
