After Earth

If you are one of those who is interested to know what might happen to the human race and the Earth after all what we have done to pollute and destroy the Earth, then After Earth might just offer you another perspective that what might happen to the Earth and the human race in the future.



A millennium after cataclysmic events that forced the human race escape the Earth to another planet, Nova Prime, a crash landing leaves Kitai Raige (Jaden Smith) and his father Cypher Raige (Will Smith) stranded in a planet their ancestors used to call home. The movie starts with the scene inside a spaceship crashing.



Then, it is back to three days ago where Kitai Raige was not promoted to become a Ranger, as a welcoming gift for his father, General Cypher Raige and was disappointed although he truly believe that he in fact outperform his father. It is definitely not going to be a happy and joyful welcoming dinner and father and son had some argument, and Cypher decided to patch up by bringing Kitai to the next "business" trip.



And then, off they go, into the spaceship heading to another planet, and  then halfway stumble upon the asteroid storms which then force the spaceship to crash landing to the now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. The event separate the tail and the head of the spaceship and split some of the Rangers as well as killing some, leaving Kitai and his father, who was injured.



With Cypher injured, Kitai must travel alone to the tail of the spaceship to get the backup emergency device to send the signal to across the universe for rescue team. Kitai has always wanted to be a Ranger like his father and finally he get the chance to prove his worth. Throughout the journey though, Cypher will be there to look out for Kitai, should there be any danger and advice him on what to do.



Overall, I found that the plot is kind of slow - to the extent dull and bored. And my friend and I agree on one thing, the Earth seems like a better place without human being. Jaden Smith acting is terrible, I believe Will Smith back out to give Jaden more opportunity to perform, but if Jaden is serious about his acting career, I do hope that he improve.

Lindsay Lohan's younger days photos

Lately, I have been following some of the celebrity news and Lohan is one of them....given the rehab swap that is on the news.  But really, what turns an innocent young child into such a troubled life (so to say). I am not sure what happen along the way but looking back at the old photos, you just somehow have the belief and hope of her coming out strong again. We are definitely not going to have the young, innocent Lindsay Lohan again but at least we're hoping for her recovery in the rehab center.

[Review] Taken 3

Ex-government operative Bryan Mills starting to show his age in this third installment of the Taken series - I can swear that I heard his panting almost every breath taking scene, which makes the acting by Liam Neeson real. In this series, Bryan Mills is hoping to reconcile with his ex-wife, Lenore St. John who is said to be not happy with her current husband. The reconciliation however cut short when she was brutally murdered. Bryan Mills was frame for the murder of Lenore and consumed with rage, he go on hiding to evade the CIA, FBI and the police and he intended to track down the murderer on his own with his skills. It doesn't take long before he realized that the murderer is from the group of Russians, which then leads him to his ex-wife husband - and he interrogates him until he told how he was forced to cooperate with the Russians which might target Bryan's daughter, Kim. So, in order to protect his daughter while he revenge, he gets help from his friends to bri...

Superman’ Review: A Charming but Chaotic Attempt to Restart the DCU with Heart — and a Lot of Noise

  James Gunn’s   Superman   had one job — to kickstart a brand-new DC Universe with clarity, confidence, and purpose. What we got instead is a quirky, overstuffed spectacle that bounces between heartfelt sincerity and Saturday morning cartoon mayhem, never quite settling into a rhythm strong enough to lift this hero off the ground. On paper, it all sounds promising:   Superman   skips the tired origin story and dives straight into Clark Kent’s third year as Earth’s protector. David Corenswet brings a sincere, wide-eyed charm to the role — equal parts Boy Scout and alien outcast — while Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane is, without a doubt, the best we’ve ever seen on screen. Their chemistry crackles, especially in the film’s most grounded scene: a sharp interview that pits Lois’ hard-nosed journalism against Superman’s unwavering optimism. In that moment, you can almost feel the movie it   could   have been — thoughtful, conflicted, real. Unfortunately, tho...
