X-Men Origins: Wolverine


THE SUMMARY

The story flashes backward to a boy named Thomas Logan makes a shocking discovery about his family bloodline and having Victor as his brother in process. A century later, the mutant siblings battling side by side through two world wars and Vietnam -- where they are sentenced to death for killing a commanding officer. Yet they survive and they are invited by Major William Stryker to join a top-secret government task force.

When their targets begin to involve innocent civilians, conscientious Logan decides to leave this task force and builds a home in the Canadian Rockies with Kayla Silverfox. Informed by Stryker that the members of his old team are targeted for death, Logan then is heartbroken when Kayla is killed by Victor. Vowing revenge, Logan undergoes an operation to reinforce his skeleton with adamantium, a virtually indestructible metal to defeat Victor.


Subsequently betrayed by Stryker, Logan sets out to find Victor and stop the cycle of violence once and for all. Along the way, he is joined by fellow mutants John Wraith and Remy LeBeau. But before Wolverine can seek vengeance against Stryker and Victor, he will have to do battle Deadpool, a formidable mutant instilled with many powers. With Victor's help, he overcomes Deadpool and slash him to death. In the end, Logan is shot in his head by Stryker, losing all his memory.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wolverine finally returns for his own origin story. ^^ Compared to the X-Men trilogy, he looks so physically different. Seems like he lost weight so much or am I just imagining? XD According to Wikipedia, he is said to being underwent a high intensity weight training regimen to bulk up for his role, changed the program to shock the body into change and also performed cardiovascular workouts. No wonders it's so obvious to see the difference of Wolverine's in films.

Hmm, what I like about this movie mostly is the mutants. Ah, I mean the actors and actresses do portrayed the mutants very well. Not like the X-Men trilogy, the mutants can perform their power very better and effective, especially in the combat during the invasion of the headquarters of a diamond trafficking operation in Nigeria. Their actions could beat my adrenaline to full factor satisfaction. I was such amazed by their way of combat. Yet, the outcome was very great beyound my prediction.

Hey people, it is not like the boring X-Men trilogy, you ought to give it a chance to watch this movie yourself!

Detective Conan : Full Score of Fear


THE SUMMARY

To cut a long story shorten, this movie is about serial murders and bombards involving all kinds of musicians have occurred. It is discovered that all the victims are from a Music School led by a famous organist and former pianist named Doumoto Kazuki.

Conan and his accomplices have been invited to attend the opening concert of Music Hall. The biggest attraction of this concert is the world famous violin called "Stradivarius" and a special appearance of the main Soprano named Akiba Reiko who has perfect pitch from that same school as well.

However, due to unknown reason, Akiba has been being attacked thus it falls to Conan to protect her, investigate the true motive of all the serial murders and catch the murderer before the concert become bloody stage of a tragedy.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are fan of Nodame Cantabile or classical music, you may ought to see this this movie as it consists a lot of music performance. But too bad that I am deaf, can't hear the rhythm... XD But the environment on the stage of the concert are really conceiving. When watching this concert, you will feel like you are at the concert there. o.O

What I like about this movie is Akiba Reiko. Although she is just a supporting character, but she managed to steal the main female character spotlight from Ran who is the usual in the previous ones and become more active character at Conan's side. I am sorry for Ran but I really like Akiba better. She really look very elegant and also a smart lady. What's unique about her is that she has perfect pitch... I wonder what it feel like having a perfect pitch. XD

However, the method of murders are extremely boring indeed as the death are just an instant and quicked skimmed past. It can't bring us to heart beat in guessing who is really the murderers. No clues... No evidences... No big climax... =/ But the outcome or the conclusion is fine still... I hope the next movie should make its BIGGEST CLIMAX.

Note: This post was supposed to be released last month but due to photo uploading error, I abandon this blog temporarily.

Fate/ Stay Night



THE SUMMARY

Taking place in an ordinary Japanese town, Fuyuki City, it in fact has a big secret that is hidden from society. There has actually been a war going on in this town. Seven sorcerers known as "Masters" summon a powerful familiar called "Servants" and they all fight each other till the last one. The last one is said to attain the Holy Grain which will grant them a wish. Only a few knows when this War started and what the Holy Grail is, but the war was about to begin again this year.

Now it centers on the main character named Shirou Emiya who lost his parents in a fire and was adopted by a man named Kiritsugu Emiya who called himself a sorcerer. Admiring his step father and yearning to become an ally of justice, he has been training to become a sorcerer but he however, has no talent and could barely use one type of socrery. His step father has already passed away and today he is a sorcerer without any skills or knowlege.

That is until one fateful day, he was drawn into the Holy Grail War when he accidentally summons a female "Servant" knwon as Saber who said to be the strongest "Servant" at all. Not only her, there are altogether seven "Masters" who can summon their respective "Servants" from different classes known as Saber, Archer, Rider, Berserker, Lancer, Castor and Assassin. These 'Servants" must never reveal their real identity in order to hide their own weaknesses to the enemies.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Usually in online game or any game console, you can see many different classes available. Now this anime also made no difference as they are applied into as well. What is unique about this anime, although they themselves can be clearly shown what class they are, but they never could tell their own real identity. I wonder why.. If their real identity is exposed, they will be easily killed - still I doubt. Nevermind, I am thinking too much. =P To my amazement, all the Servants are from mythology except for Archer who is in fact Shirou Emiya from the future! O_O When he is summoned by Rin Tosaka, he lost his memory. about his previous or identity. Is it a coincidence? Or did he pretend because he is scared that his revelation of his true identity will distort the timeline? =P I like Archer and Gilgamesh because they are coolest characters. Archer is more swift and agile in battle while Gilgamesh can summon a lot of blades and weapons. That is amazing battle! Best to watch this anime! It is a great story indeed! I am sure you will love it!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like a series of Scary Movie, this Superhero movie is freaky comedial and superb crazy. XD This story has absorbed certain element from the original stories such like Spiderman, Batman Begins, Fantastic Four and X-Men but adapted into different element such like those element being added with a new element such like sexual element. Oh my, this is gonna be crazy if you watch this. No no, I didn't mean the real sex intercourse. This is very funny which includes certain celebrities and their real-life actions such as Tom Cruise's scientology video and Barry Bonds' alleged use of steroids. It's another of the best medicine to cure your sorrow. Why not laughing of loud as you can? =P

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In my opinion, this movie is like The Matrix. O_O I didn't mean that both movies are completely same. The similarity between them is the gravity control. =D In Matrix, they can move upside down at will. But for Wanted, they can set the movement of bullet change direction abruptly like a curve, not straight one. This is the craziest action I ever watched!!! XD

Anyway, I really like the special effect in this movie.. This effect is really unexplainable and very full of motion, making me become frozen in a second and feel like I am in this movie. Not like other action movie, their action are just done harshly and fast then come to the result already! =/ I really don't like that so much, at least have the motion applied so the feeling can be stimulated!

By the way, this movie is not encouraged to be watched by children under 18! =P

Rogue



THE SUMMARY

An idyllic wildlife cruise disintegrates into terror when a party of tourists are stalked by a massive man-eating crocodile. Pete McKell, a cynical American journalist, joins a disparate group of holiday-makers on a river cruise through the waters of Kakadu National Park. Initially Pete clashes with their tour captain, Kate, a feisty young woman who assumes he is just another 'city-slicker' in search of a quick thrill. After an uneventful day cruising the river, Kate is reluctantly persuaded to steer their boat into unexplored territory. They discover a secluded lake but terror strikes when their craft receives a powerful blow from beneath the murky depths and begins to sink. With little choice, she beaches the vessel on the closest dry land -a tiny mud island. With a rising tide and only half an hour of daylight left, fear grips the group as they realize they are trapped in the lair of a 'rogue' crocodile, governed only by its need to hunt and kill.

Begrudgingly, Pete and Kate join forces to keep hysteria at bay and in the process start to see beyond their initial impressions. Their first attempt to escape fails, but then Pete has an idea - they must trap the crocodile to enable the group to flee to the other side of the island whilst Kate swims for help. Pete volunteers to stand guard, but without warning, the beast breaks free and targets Kate who fails to resurface. As darkness descends and the muddy waters rise, a terrifying struggle ensues with only one probable outcome death.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is a quite good movie, that is the worth to watch and enjoy! For me. it could be considered as the "rival" to Jaws. Hehehe... Eh, you don't know what is Jaws? You better have to check with the video shop. =P The difference is that they use crocodile in this Rogue while shark(s) in Jaws. Do you like crocodile? =P This time, the crocodile is bigger...Yeah, 4 - 5 times bigger and fatter (and of course getting uglier) that is enough to sunk a large boat or to bite a person in one shot! but smaller than the man-eating crocodile in Lake Placid.... Hehehe... This damned crocodile is smarter, I was shocked...

Supernatural



This serial drama follows Winchester brothers, Sam and Dean traveling across the country with Dean's black 1967 Chevy Impala to investigate the paranormal events or other unexplained occurances, mostly of them based on American urban legends and folkore as well as classic supernatural beings such as vampires, werewolves and ghosts.

SUPERNATURAL SEASON ONE
Season One begins with Dean asking Sam to join him on a quest to find their father who is missing during his hunt. Sam reluctantly joins him to find father with a condition that Dean must send him back once the mission completed. After the mission is completed, Sam finds out that his girlfriend died on him so he eventually joins his brother in a journey to find his father and hunt down the murder of his girlfriend. During their adventure, they also do the side quest to keep the town clean from the supernatural being's disturbance.

SUPERNATURAL SEASON TWO
After reuniting with their father, they learn out that the murder of their mother and Sam's girlfriend is a demon after all. At the same time, they are being attacked by some low-level demons to prevent them from killing Azazel who was responsible on the death of their mother and Sam's girlfriend. Once they find him, they successfully kill Azazel, but Azazel's plans are accomplished and the gate to Hell is opened momentarily, releasing a horde of demons into the world.

SUPERNATURAL SEASON THREE
Now Sam needs to save Dean from his deal which costs his life to resurrect Sam in the finale of Season Two. Along the way, they meets a demon named Ruby who has an interest in Sam and claims to wish to help saving Dean as well as Bela Talbot, a seller of occult objects who is constantly a thorn in their side. They manage to track down the demon who holds the contract a powerhouse named Lilith who wants Sam dead. However, they ultimately fail to save Dean who, is in Hell afterwards.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unlike the existing horror drama such as Ghost Whisperer or Charmed, I found out that it is really totally different in storyline, element, demonology and urban legend or folklore. The characters are quite pretty good. Their character can be funny and serious at the same time. They cherish each one too much which often causes people misunderstand that they are gay. That made me laugh and feel cute that the creator are able to bring it along with the humor and the entire series would look more contrast with different element.

I also like the supernatural beings in this series. All the supernatural beings has own uniqueness in their true origins, not like in Charmed which seems too common. For example, vampires is known as if the person is bitten by vampire would turn into a vampire. But in Supernatural, there are some different family category of vampires. This Supernatural drama channels to many versions of certain folklore, not only focus on one single folklore from one country.

Case Closed / Detective Conan



In my college time, my cousin brought this manga book Detective Conan that volumed the number of 27 to my house on the celebration of my grandpa's birthday. He left this book at my place after the celebration. So I took this book as my own possession afterwards.. Sorry to my cousin. ^_^

Well, Detective Conan, as known as Case Closed in America, is a detective manga and anime series by Gosho Aoyama which has been currently published since 1994.

THE SUMMARY

The story starts with a 17-year-old high school student Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri who are on a trip to a theme park named Tropical Land encounter a murder there. After solving the case, he happens to track two mysterious men in black and tells Ran to go home, then witnesses an illegal deal. Unfortunately, he is knocked out and given an untested experimental poison named Apotoxin-4869. However, Shinichi still survives but has now been shrunk to a 6-year-old young child.

Telling the incident to Dr. Agasa Hiroshi, Dr. Agasa asks Shinichi not to tell anyone. Bad time somehow occurs when Ran comes to his house and spot him in child form. Ran asks for his name and Shinichi comes up the name of Conan Edogawa. Dr. Agasa asks Ran to let Conan live together since he is not able to take care of a young child. What's more is that Ran's father, Mouri Kogoro is a detective, so it is more convenient for Conan to amass clues about the men in black.

Still, Mouri Kogoro is an useless detecive and Conan always has to investigate and solves mysteries in his stead while he gets the credit. Thanks to Dr. Agasa for inventing gadgets which allows Conan to put Mouri in sleeping mode with an "anesthesia gun-watch" and mimic his voice with a voice changer disguised as a bowtie.

In order to cover his real identity, Conan studies in Teitan Elementary School and set up with Genta, Mitch, Ayumi and later Haibara to form Detective Boys. Shiho Miyano with her alias name; Haibara is a former member of the Black Organization, so Conan learns about the Black Organization, a huge international crime syndicate. Members in Black Organization takes after the brand name of alcohol drinks.

Later on in this story, Conan meets with Heiji Hatsutori, a rival detective from Osaka and becomes good friend. And also, the gentleman thief known as the Phantom Thief Kid who seems always intends to challenge Conan in addition to teasing him as well on some missions.

Now Conan continues to solve many cases happened along this story and needs to find a way to break through the Black Organization. And also, he wishes to revert his shrunken body to the normal body in order to realize his love to Ran Mouri.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Detective Conan has been currently running... a really long series~! @_@ But I am getting excited and excited with its story development. Every case happened won't be the same, but still Conan able to solve with a good result. That's what amazed me in that way. He is a real genius savant despite his body is being shrunken but his brain won't blunt!!! XD
