My Movie Review: The movie is legit, one of the best in both visual effects and concept. Jupiter Ascending is wow! lots of gold and silver, astrology at it's finest! Every scene is a must-see, a lot going on from flying bees to the angel wings your eyes is on a feast. Mila Kunis is to die for in that wedding dress and new faces to watch for like Eddie Redmayne and Douglas Booth. While Channing Tatum keeps adding high quality films on his career.

My Personal Experience: I went to Hong Kong The Peak Lookout, last year November 25, 2014, together with my sister and her boyfriend.

This place has cool weather and calming laid back feels you can chill out on the benches while looking the nature and people around it.

My Movie Review: The movie is engaging, lots of things I could relate too and want to explore. If there is really a time machine that is for time travelling, it can be a gift if you use it properly but most of the time is a curse because people have a tendency to over use it, get caught and loss control. If I discover something like this I will use it as long as nothing will change in my past and present, just want to see and make ways to improve my future.
My Favorite Lines: " Today is better, the second time around." "This may sound crazy, but I think we’re about to change the world." "You know what I would've done if I was smart enough to build a time machine? I would've gone back in time to meet you sooner." "Before the world ends, I have to fall in love." "Are you seeing this?" "I love time traveller!"

TRAVEL TO PLACES: HONG KONG THE PEAK TRAM

My Personal Experience: I went to Hong Kong The Peak Tram, last year November 25, 2014 together with my sister and her boyfriend. We started the journey riding the peak tram, it's priceless! The train was diagonal upwards where we saw Hong Kong island in highest unique way. Tram going down was scary I felt the illusion of falling without control.

The Peak Tram

According to a study by The University of Hong Kong, passengers riding on The Peak Tram will experience a spectacular visual illusion; when going uphill, the high rises of the right ride of the tram appear to fall toward The Peak. This Peak Tram illusion is induced by a change of the subjective vertical caused by the tilted visual environment and reclining body position of observers inside the tram.

My Movie Review: The movie is neutral, good concept fairly executed, simple light story set in dark vibe. The robots thing remind me of Will Smith's movie I, Robot but this time the robot has a human face. Bruce Willis role is limited, I thought he will appear many times but not, maybe they just cast him for publicity to promote the movie. I like the fact that the artificial inhabitants got the justice they deserve to the cruel humans whose abused them.
My Favorite Term: Vice

My Movie Review: The movie is such a spectacle, they combined my favorite genres musical and fairy tales. I almost sang in the movie theater and my heart felt in each moment.

I love movies like this give me a motivation to dream and believe despite of the obstacles.

My Favorite Lines: "You're so nice. You're not good, you're not bad, You're just nice. I'm not good, I'm not nice, I'm just right. I'm the witch. You're the world."
