V/H/S/2 (2013)

                                                 The sequel of one of the most talked about Horror Movie in 2012, V/H/S. This time, more horrifying, stomach-wrenching, and fantastically and disgustingly good. 

                                     Like the first part, the movie is all about found short horror VHS tapes. The only thing different in this sequel, is that there are only 4 short films.

                                                   A bit unlike the first movie, the movie begins where two people named Larry and Ayesha who breaks in to a student's dorm and found VHS tapes.

                                  The title of the four VHS tapes are: Phase I Clinical Trials, A Ride in The Park, Safe Haven, and Slumber Party Alien Abduction.

                                       "Phase I Clinical Trials" tells about a man who got a strange eye after an accident. Soon, he founds out that ghosts roam around his house.

                                        

                                         "A Ride in the Park" is about a cyclist who got bitten by a zombie in the park, then turned into a zombie and attacks people in the park.

                                                                

                                                         "Safe Haven" is about a group of Indonesian news crew who enters an Indonesian cult. Not knowing what danger is about to face them.

                                          Lastly, "Slumber Party Alien Abduction" is about a group of kids having fun while the 'rents aren't around. Until, Aliens comes in and abducts them.

                                         "Tape 49" on the, other hand, tells about what happens after Ayesha watches them. The movie ends where Larry and Ayesha dies and the guy in the footage that Ayesha found in the laptop gives a thumbs up in the camera. 

                                                So here's my comment on the 4 short films. "Phase I Clinical Trials" gave me this shock factor, which I also found in other Horror Movies. and honestly, the most boring one of them all. "A Ride in the Park" reminds me a bit of "Warm Bodies", excluding the romantic stuff. So far, it was the only short film that made me laugh. Also, the zombie thing is "too fictional" for me. "Safe Haven" for me was outright disturbing. The gore, the scare factor and the twist in the end wasn't that bad. And "Slumber Party Alien Abduction" was like the R-16 version of "Aliens in the Attic" and I think it's lame that this became part of the movie.

                                            I'm giving this movie an 8 out of 10. Comparing to the first movie (although I haven't watched it yet), this one was close to perfection.   

Maleficent (2014)

                                           There is one thing I could say about this movie... Perfect. 

                                     The movie is so perfect... every one loved the movie. I mean, yesterday, before the movie was starting, everyone was waiting outside.

                                        Angelina was perfect for it. If you want to know about the movie, I'll tell you but not every bit.

                                         Okay, so, you're thinking that the movie is a remake of the 1959 Disney classic movie, Sleeping Beauty. Well, yes... and no.

                                       Yes, because some of it is similar to the animated movie. and No, because the story revolves around Maleficent. and since it revolves around her, you're guessing that the movie will tell the story of Maleficent from the very beginning. Yes, and also the bitter part of it that it relates me the most.

                                      and lastly, if you're guessing that since the movie is a remake that it will happen the same thing to Maleficent what happened at the animated movie, well, there's a bigger plot twist in it.

                                      If you want to watch it, bring your friends or family to watch the movie. It's so good, you'll have a hangover over it. 

                                      and oh, by the way, I went fangirl when they played Lana's "Once Upon A Dream". Her song was so perfect, it really matches to the movie and to Maleficent, not to Aurora.

                                       and since I loved it, I'll give it a 10. 

Last Summer (Thai Horror Movie, June 2013)

                                                It's been a long time since I haven't watch a movie. then this movie came along and was shown in our country, I know I just had to watch.

                                    According to some articles I have read, this is a 4-in-1 movie. Same story, but different plots. also, it's the first movie that Talent 1 studio has made.  

                                    

                          The 1st part of the movie is where Singh invites his friends, Joy, a young star and his love, Garn, and Meen, Joy's best friend, to go to the beach. They runaway and had some fun. However, things didn't end well. Somehow, Joy ended up getting asthma from the drink that boys gave to her and she died. Singh and Garn dispose's her body. As for Meen, she cries for help. As Singh and Garn tries to throw Joy away, Joy's body haunts them as Singh folds her in her luggage. Unfortunately, they died... except for Meen.

                                  

                             

                                           The 2nd part is the aftermath of Singh, Garn and Joy's death. However for Meen, she was still alive and became the witness of what happened. As she goes back to school, people mourn for Joy's death and made a memorial just for her. But as for Meen, she takes Joy's spotlight, became center of attention, like Joy, and got the scholarship she wanted. but somehow, Meen became delusional as she sees writings like "Liar" in the wall and the bathroom. She found out it all hoax. but Joy's spirit haunts her. thus, the revelation comes out that it was Meen who killed her in the beach house. Meen ended up falling from rooftop of their school and drop from stage.

                              The 3rd part is Joy's little brother, Ting, and her mother. As months pass by from Joy's death, Ting's mother still mourns for Joy  and keeps the things that Joy possesses whereas she didn't pay attention to her son, Ting, who was an athlete at school, The same school where Singh, Garn, Meen and Joy attended. He got the attention he want but soon to realize that his mom was in it to make his son win by bribery. Both of them made a deal that if he won, they'll leave their home because Ting knows that her Sister's spirit is in their house. Unfortunately, Joy broke Ting's leg. They were about to move when an unfortunate incident happened. The electricity went out but his mom found out that Ting destroyed his sister's life because of Jealousy. and that's when Joy comes out and haunts her brother while she plays recorded tapes on her mom's room. Ting escape from her sister and barged in his mother's room. Suddenly, a video tape of Joy plays where she was still little and dancing like a ballerina. The final tape shows of Little Joy bidding farewell to them while she dances away.

                        The epilogue or the final part of the movie is the days that Joy was still alive. The days where Joy got the part of a movie, meets Singh and became his girlfriend, Meen makes a promise that she and Joy will still be friends forever, Singh bids farewell, Joy crying when her mother found out that she was stripping in front of a boy, who was Singh, she posts a status of getting a suicide, where Singh invites her for to go the beach, and leaving the house with the suitcase.

                         Overall, the movie talks about Jealousy, Friendship, Love and Truth. I would rate this movie a 7 out of 10.

On their 1st and 2nd anniversary, the hosts' performed individually (except for Jugs and Teddy). But on their 3rd anniversary, they were divided into 6 groups. This time, they were divided into 5 groups. Unfortunately, for this anniversary, Kuya Kim was absent for several days because he had an illness. and his partner was Vice Ganda.

        The first group to perform were Eric Tai and Ryan Bang with a very hilarious performance.

        The second group to perform were Karylle, Jugs and Teddy with a very mind blown performance. 

              

           The third group to perform were Vhong, Billy and Coleen with a very Futuristic inspired theme. 

                          

             The Fourth group to perform were Vice and Kuya Kim. Since he was sick, Vice had to perform without him and had to change everything. What he did instead was an Acrobatic slash concert performance.

             

             The fifth and the final group to perform were Anne and Jhong with a Romantic movie themed performance

                           

               Tomorrow will be deliberation day. The Judges will choose which group will win tomorrow. On the 1st anniversary, Jugs and Teddy won while on the 2nd anniversary, Anne won. but on the 3rd anniversary, Three groups won, and they were Team Karylle and Anne, Team Billy and Vhong and Team Jugs Teddy.                        

Countdown (Thai Horror Movie, December 2012)

                                From the producer of the two Hit Thai Horror Movies, "Shutter" and "Phobia", comes another Horror movie that will make everyone (well maybe) relate to.

                     The story sets on New York City where three Thai teens lives in  a small apartment. Bee, Pam and Jack have different aspects in life. Pam is like one of those girls on teen movies you always watch, where she only thinks about herself and have sex with men. Jack, on the other hand, is a rebellious son who spends his Father's money on going to clubs and buy weed (Marijuana). while Bee is Jack's girlfriend with a very mysterious personality. 

                 One night, they decided to have some fun by ordering some weeds from a seller. As Jack picks up a strange calling card from a weed seller, he puts the pieces together and calls the weed seller. He decides to invite him on New Years Eve. But as "Jesus" (pronounced as, Hay-sus) makes some fun with them, everything turns upside down when things got a whole lot messier.

                       I really love the movie to be honest. I'm not going to spoil anything from the movie. but all I can say is, It's a must watch movie, a lesson that will wake everyone up and be faced by guilt from their conscience. An 8 out of 10 for me.

(Note: The movie may have some funny scenes but there are things that Jesus said that are very not good to hear. at all. The movie also has Violence, Sex, Language and Blasphemy. It is Rated-R. Only for 16 years old and above.)
