300: Rise of an Empire




One of the movie that I watched recently in the cinema is 300: Rise of an Empire and overall, I would rate the movie average. The movie consists a lot of "blood splashing" scene as well as slow-mo during the fight, which somehow irritates me most of the time.







For those who watched 300 before, Rise of an Empire is not actually the sequel to 300; but rather it tells the story before "300" as well as after King Leonidas and the a force of 300 discipline and committed Spartans were slaughtered by the Persians at Thermopylae - and Themistocles uses the death of these 300 Spartans as the martyr to unite the Greece in attempt to stop the invading Persian forces led by the mortal-turned-God Xerxes and and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.

[Lyrics] Let Her Go by Passenger



  Well, You only need the light when it's burning low,
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow,
Only know you love her when you let her go.

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause Love comes slow and it goes so fast

Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
Cause you loved her too much and you dived too deep

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go ooooh ooooh oh no

And you let her go
ooooh ooooh oh no

Well you let her go

ooooh ooooh oh no

Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

Frozen

If you have yet to watch "Frozen" in the cinema, now it is the time to get the Blu-ray version of the movie from Amazon and I personally think that Frozen is nice with catchy soundtracks - I like most of the soundtracks from Frozen and especially like Let It Go by Idina Menzel and kinda addicted to "Do You Want To Build a Snowman?" - the song that was sang by the three phases of Anna, from child to teenager and finally grown up.



Frozen tells about the two princesses in the Kingdom of Arendelle - Elsa and Anna, with Elsa the special one with the power to create snow and ice. One evening while the two princesses were playing, Elsa accidentally hit Anna with an ice blast knocking her unconscious. and turning several strands of her hair white. Upon discovering this, the King and Queen rush them to the group of trolls where Anna was "healed" and the troll warn them that the power that Elsa possess can be used to destroy as well if Elsa did not learn to control the power well.

Elsa

Anna


And so the two sisters were separated with Anna having little knowledge why her sister suddenly shut her out of her life. I like the scene where Anna keeps trying to persuade her sister to play with her by asking her whether she want to build a snowman - and was rejected year after year, and finally one fateful day, the King and Queen had an accident and by now both girls were already grown up and so it's time for the coronation of Queen Elsa.

[Lyrics] Frozen "Let It Go" by Idina Menzel


I'm not sure how many of you have watched the movie "Frozen" but honestly, it was great. I am not a big fan of cartoons, but this movie was great, especially the music. 



This is one of the music that I loved the most and thus, I decided to share it here...

Check out the lyrics here:

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I’m the Queen.

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried

Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know

Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door

I don’t care
What they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway

It’s funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can’t get to me at all

It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I’m free

Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You’ll never see me cry

Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on

My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never going back,
The past is in the past

Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone

Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on,

The cold never bothered me anyway
