TRAVEL TO MOVIES: MORGAN

Director: Luke Scott
Cast: Anya Taylor-Joy , Kate Mara , Toby Jones ,  Michelle Yeoh , Boyd Holbrook
Plot: A corporate troubleshooter goes into a remote, top-secret location to investigate an accident. The mishap has something to do with an artificial being in the form of a teenager that was made in a laboratory environment. She must decide whether or not to terminate the mysterious, rapidly-developing life form.


My Movie Review: The movie is slick makes you feel smarter when put things into focus. This compelling sci-fi thriller is directorial debut of Luke Scott which is son of Ridley Scott. Morgan is decent enough to keep us guessing what's gonna happen next maybe shorter than expected but keep it's mystery until the end. Kate Mara stole the show in this psycho experiment of human nature while keeping the action in high-throttle with Anya Taylor-Joy.

The scenery plays a big part in the movie since shot in different locations like in Thailand were you can see the beach that give calming vibe while in Australia seeing the Sydney Opera House makes you feel like a tourist that want to visit the landmark. The sequel may not follow the story of the first one but still delivers a fun to watch for its easy to follow plot.

Tension is mounting as soon in the dark where the blind man chasing and shocking when they found a girl in the basement that was so unexpected that's good. Overall good acting for Jane Levy and Dylan Minnette their eyes pop like a cat in the dark. The blind man is unpredictable and unbeatable did not disappoints making this film worthy.

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: WAR DOGS


Director: Todd Phillips
Cast: Miles Teller , Jonah Hill , Ana de Armas , Barry Livingston , Bradley Cooper
Plot: Two arm dealers, David Packouz and Efraim Diveroli, secure a USD300 million government contract to supply weapons for the American troops in Afghanistan. They soon find themselves in danger abroad as well as facing trouble at home.


My Movie Review: The movie is enrich cultures showing how different each place to next. At first glance the film seems to be fun but as it goes on turns out to be serious and darker tackling social issues and political side of the business. Jonah Hill's character became the antagonist towards the end somehow betraying his best-friend for more profit and powers. Miles Teller goes out back to his simple life without knowing hill still get his piece of the pie.
My Favorite Lines: "My name is David Packouz. I’m twenty-two years old, and I’m an international arms dealer. Six months ago I was a message therapist in Miami Beach, and now here I was with my best friend from junior high." "I think you should come work for me. I’m against this war. This isn’t about being pro-war. This is about being pro-money." "They call guys like us War Dogs, bottom feeders who make money off of war with out ever stepping foot on the battlefield. It was meant to be derogatory but we kind of liked it."
