The Hangover Part II (2011)
The only review you need to read
OK I've decided to throw in my review, since I'm reading and reading about people whining how this film has not revolutionized entertainment instead of relying on the same principles as the first part, giving it sometimes one star out of ten?? (Come on, how miserable can you be to rate a film that people laugh their bums off watching with one star).
To said reviewers: Seriously, this is HANGOVER PART II. It's called that for a reason, what did you expect, for the director to try reinvent the wheel? It's like expecting Jurassic Park 2 to take place in 2011 with fake dinosaurs.
OK, let's go back to our short review.
For people who didn't watch the first part (Do they even exist? If so, please go and watch it first, it's awesome), this is the principle that both films are based on: characters suffer from an extreme hangover caused by mixing drugs and alcohol, they also lose memory of the last night's events and try to backtrack their steps by following small clues. Hilarity ensues. That's it, no more, no less.
Regarding "child exploitation joke" which some female reviewer wrote a wall of text about (one joke mind you, 10 seconds screen time) as far as I know problem's not with the movie but with Thailand. Period. This is a film for mature audiences that can take it for what it is, a comedy movie and means of entertainment.
Saying that, there are some hilarious moments on screen, in terms of sequels... Well it's one of the best comedy sequels I watched. Go and see this film with your friends. I guarantee you will have a great time.
Avatar (2009)
Incredible
OK I went to see Avatar but I didn't expect what was coming. Story was perfectly executed, visuals simply amazing and I just can't find anything bad about Cameron's latest work. I've found out about it about 6 months back, no I'm not a fanboy. I wasn't particularly hyped neither. Saying that...
This is most likely the best movie I've seen in my whole life. It has everything and more. There has to be a continuation, or ideally Cameron should make a trilogy. It's just so good 2 hours 40 minutes spent on watching it felt like an hour. It doesn't matter what movies you like, whether you enjoy watching sci-fi or not - you just need to see it for yourself be it 2 or 3D and you won't believe how good it is.
Cyborg Soldier (2008)
well made
I am not a huge fan of neither cheap nor expensive action movies, I am however a big fan of UFC.
With the previous movies starring MMA stars like Randy Couture I was severely disappointed by the overall level of professionalism and performance with Scorpion King 2 being probably the worst movie I have seen this year. So you can probably imagine by now that when I've heard about "Cyborg Soldier" I wasn't particularly excited.
I'm not going to review the plot as you can get the idea from the synopsis, it is quite simple BUT the way the movie is done, even though it is low budget actually makes up for it. There's plenty of action, well made fight scenes, even some funny parts (depending on your sense of humour though) and Rich Franklin absolutely rocks. His acting resembles A. Schwarzeneggers in the Terminator, though it's not that extremely "mechanic" and emotionless, after all Isaac is still a human being.
Movie is a must see for any UFC fan and everyone who likes good action movies. It's not Bourne(far from it) but trust me, you won't be disappointed.
