What is it about?
In the 6th installment of mega hit Harry Potter series, Harry found his biggest question mark by exploring through Voldemort's dark past, he was also forced to deal with another great loss, the new found love, and the even more mortifying threats from the Dark Lord.
Comments:
First of all, I have to be blunt here and say that this movie is great because of the visual effect. Period. But as a loyal fan of Harry Potter, I can't deny the fact that I've been waiting for the movie like forever. The point is no matter how bad it can get, I will always be there in the cinema
#9 Public Enemies
Directed by Michael Mann
Casts: Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard, Channing Tatum
Written By: Ronan Bennett (Screenplay), Ann Biderman (Screenplay),Michael Mann (Screenplay), Bryan Burrough (Book)
What's it about?
The difficult 1930s is a time of robbers who knock over banks and other rich targets with alarming frequency. Of them, none is more notorious than John Dillinger, whose gang plies its trade with cunning efficiency against big businesses while leaving ordinary citizens alone. As Dillinger becomes a folk hero, FBI head J. Edger Hoover is determined to stop his ilk by assigning ace agent Melvin Purvis to hunt down Dillinger. As Purvis struggles with the manhunt's realities, Dillinger himself faces an ominous future with the loss of friends, dwindling options and a changing world of organized crime with no room for him.
Comments:
What I noticed fascinating first at the movie is the score and then I move on with Depp's acting which as usual is a perfecto. But honestly, this one suited really good! Depp known for his bad boy's moves are a picture perfect for the America's most feared enemies (for that time being I guess!)
What's it about?
An epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors.
Comments:
*Speechless* That's what happened soon after I walked out from the cinema. It was exhilarating, thrilling, it was like my adrenaline was pumped to the maximum level! I kept imagining how damaged our earth is right now. SOS Earth saver?!
