Terminator Salvation [2009]


I honestly thought that this movie would seem weird without Arnold, but guess what?? He was in the movie after all! And he was NAKED!! Well, the movie is an awesome treat for those wanting action. You have all sorts of excitement within this movie, and it is definitely worth to watch it in the cinema if you want to enjoy the effects. Nonetheless, it is a typical action movie with the typical plot; “guy wants revenge and goes after who ever made him mad”, so do not expect much from the plot. The ending was anti-climax, as the rest of the world is said to be still controlled by terminators, yet their head(Skynet main base) base has been destroyed.

At the end, you’d be left guessing what happened to Marcus Wright and the Blair Williams. I was also a little entangled between logic as I couldn’t find the logic of releasing without conditions, a traitor (Lisa) whom has just released a prisoner. Other than that, the movie also made me hugely wonder on how Marcus was resurrected from the dead after his heart was punched until it burst in the first place. At the very list, I think the movie was illogic, but then again, what part of science fiction movies are? A movie I recommend if you have extra time, but not a must watch.

Paul Blart Mall Cop [2009]


Paul Blart Mall Cop is a nice family movie. Despite having trailer which may seem to give the impression the the movie is largely based on comedy, my observation generally differs. The story line is strong and easy to understand, but there are moments when I feel that the movie could be greater.

On a positve note, I did enjoy the movie, but I do not think it is worth to see in the cinema. One thing special in the movie is the moves and also stunts made by the robbers whom display fantastic if not awesome extreme sport jumps and moves.

The ending was mediaroce, and rather romantic, but it will not give you 'the feel'. Overall, a decent movie, but it will not score any box office any time soon.
