My Movie Review: The movie is the best in the franchise both story and effects were superb!!! Star Wars: The Last Jedi is what we expected grand entertaining saga in epic proportions and more mind-blowing sequence that will stand till the test of time with new technique into visuals! Love the red rays of smoke in the white sand and the new cute squirrel character that scream:) Adam Driver is one of the standout in this film his resistance with good and evil was believable. This is a beloved tribute to Carrie Fisher her role was given a great send off leading the troops and essential return of Luke Skywalker as a mentor teaching Rey to be Jedi in mind and spirit!!
My Favorite Character: Poe Dameron

Poe Dameron was a human male pilot who served as a captain in the New Republic and, later, the Resistance during its conflict with the First Order. The son of Lieutenant Shara Bey and Sergeant Kes Dameron of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, Dameron followed in his late mother's footsteps and became a pilot, serving the New Republic Starfleet as the commander of Rapier Squadron, but grew disillusioned with the Republic's inaction to the First Order's violations of the Galactic Concordance. Poe Dameron defected to the Resistance, where he became one of General Leia Organa's most trusted operatives. Dameron flew under the callsign of Black Leader while piloting his specialized T-70 X-wing fighter, Black One~ Survivor.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: THAILAND-- THA MAHARAJ MALL

My Personal Experience: I went to Tha Maharaj Mall this year August 28, 2017, together with my sister. We went there to drop off to the river tour and plan visit one of the popular attraction. The Grand Palace was closed once we arrived luckily the mall have different attractions where we strike a pose outside with some interesting characters and Instagram worthy site around it:)

Tha Maharaj Mall

Tha Maharaj is one of only a handful of shopping malls located in Bangkok’s historic Old City. Walking distance from many of the capital’s most famous sights such as Wat Pho and Tha Maharaj benefits from an idyllic riverside location, with a good lineup of cafes, restaurants and bars taking advantage of the handsome views across the water. It has its very own pier arriving by boat is the most popular way to reach the mall, although if you're on a sightseeing trip, and Tha Maharaj Mall is simple to reach on foot around 10 minutes away from The Grand Palace!!!

TRAVEL TO PLACES: THAILAND-- RIVER CITY BANGKOK

My Personal Experience: I went River City Bangkok this year August 28, 2017, together with my sister. We just take a glance not actually set foot there but it's the first stop of our river tour. The mall is known for antique shops in-line with high end boutiques that's why it was called The Anchor Of Arts And Antiques enjoy shopping with the rare end view of Chao Phraya River.

River City Bangkok

A well-known landmark on the Chao Phraya riverbank, River City has been around since 1984. Originally, it served a niche market of antique collectors and traders, spearheading monthly auction events where sellers and buyers of antiques could meet. River City is a four-storey mall overlooking sweeping views of the Chao Phraya River. It specialises in antiques and collectibles, with monthly on-site and online auctions, although there’s also a good range of fashion and jewellery shops as well as riverside eateries with exciting outdoor dining terraces :)

My Movie Review: The movie is imaginative visual treat that capture heart and touches soul):( Coco is my first and only animated movie that I watched this year in cinemas since don't like cartoons this must be a special one cause I made an exception and wasn't let down it's worthy. Day of the Dead is the grandest tradition in Mexico where they remember their love ones who pass away in festive parade wearing skull mask and colorful costume I want to attend one day. You think you know the story just seeing the trailer but you don't there's more that in store. Love the voice of Miguel- cute and enthusiastic one of the reasons that captivate and make the movie watchable while Mama Coco make us cry when she tries to remember her Papa Hector.
My Favorite Lines: "Remember me, though I have to say goodbye / Remember me, don't let it make you cry / For even if I'm far away, I hold you in my heart / I sing a secret song to you, each night we are apart / Remember me, though I have to travel far / Remember me, each time you hear a sad guitar / Know that I'm with you, the only way that I can be / Until you're in my arms again, remember me..."(Singing) "What are you doing? I'm walking like a skeleton. No, skeletons don't walk like that. That's how you walk. No, I don't." "I am terribly allergic. But Dante doesn't have any hair. And I don't have a nose, and yet, here we are." "Look, what I'm trying to say is... is that although you may Never Forgive him, you should NEVER Forget him!!"

TRAVEL TO PLACES: THAILAND-- SANTI CHAI PRAKAN PARK

My Personal Experience: I went to Santi Chai Prakan Park this year August 28, 2017, together with my sister. We went there to relax- cool down and feel the cool breeze in the park.

Source: https://www.insing.com/movies/justice-league-2017/id-6bec0000/

My Movie Review: The movie is all-star superhero adventure that perform below expectation!! Justice League is such a disappointment I hate to say this but it's true for the reason we love seeing them we except it's going to be great since all of our favorite superhero come together:{ But didn't deliver this one has less story to tell and they rather show flashy scenes to entertain. Superman saves the day- being a villain never seen his dark side it add spice and excitement:} It feels like continuation of WW where the real villain come in their world mix with Gotham City- most iconic scenes happen in an instant take a closer look and wait for after credits such a flip.
My Favorite Character: Aquaman (Arthur Curry)

Arthur Curry, born with the Atlantean name Orin, is the crown prince of Atlantis, as well as the superhero known as Aquaman. While initially reserved and content with his isolation from the surface world, Aquaman would eventually be recruited by Batman and Wonder Woman to be a member of Justice League, in order to help defend Earth against the imminent alien invasion of Steppenwolf and his Parademon army. Following his recruitment, Arthur played a pivotal role in reviving Superman following his death. With the team fully assembled, Aquaman contributed to the successful assault against to the forces of Apokolips, forcing the alien invasion into retreat..

TRAVEL TO PLACES: THAILAND-- PHRA SUMEN FORT

My Personal Experience: I went to Phra Sumen Fort this year August 28, 2017, together with my sister. We went there to take a glimpse on the fort with park near to the Chao Phraya River. Going there is worth it even in our limited time to catch a boat- the fort will make feel like royal:) Phra Sumen Fort is one of the must-see place if you want cool tranquility and relax in the park.

Phra Sumen Fort

Built in 1783 to defend against potential naval invasions and named for the mythical Mt Meru (Phra Sumen in Thai) of Hindu-Buddhist cosmology, the octagonal brick-and-stucco bunker was one of 14 city watchtowers that punctuated the old city wall alongside Khlong Rop Krung. Apart from Mahakan Fort, this is the only one still standing. Alongside the fort and fronting the river is a small, grassy park with an open-air pavilion, river views, luscious trees, cool breezes!!

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: JIGSAW

They discover evidence linking the crime to a person called John Kramer, the infamous killer who went by the name Jigsaw. The only problem is he has been dead for over a decade - leaving them to ponder whether Kramer is really dead or there is another Jigsaw come in town.

Source: https://www.insing.com/movies/jigsaw-2017/id-7eee0000/

My Movie Review: The movie is fun to watch now more creative than their previous franchise! Jigsaw is brings back the glory of killing games and mind escape tricks with new innovative way in telling the story- unexpectedly it was clear and concise from usual start to twisted finish! The film is smart in hiding the truth until the last it was spontaneous but sort of tricky not force:) Matt Passmore is very nice actor compelling as a detective and still believable as a serial killer. Like the props in set- bucket in the heads help to conceal the mystery with impressive treads connecting each other perfect for traps while the lasers big blue light elevate the visual appeal.

More Description: The movie begins following a police pursuit of criminal Edgar Munson. Edgar, in an obvious panic and holding a 'triggering mechanism', begins to yell at the cops pursuing him about the beginning of another 'game', and how he must choose people to die, or otherwise he would be killed. After a series of murders bearing all the markings of the Jigsaw killer, law enforcement find themselves chasing the ghost of a man dead for over a decade and embroiled in a new game that's only just begun. Is John Kramer back from the dead to remind the world to be grateful for the gift of life? Is this a trap set by a killer with designs of their own?

TRAVEL TO PLACES: THAILAND-- PHRA ARTHIT PIER

My Personal Experience: I went to Phra Arthit Pier this year August 28, 2017, together with my sister. We went there to hop off in the last destination in our river tour which is our first stop.

Source: https://www.insing.com/movies/renegades-2017/id-40ed0000/

My Movie Review: The movie is military heist thriller for someone who seek casual adventure! Renegades is impressive in keeping things low key and somewhat unnoticeable in cinemas yet reserve its hidden treasure tale to those who are experimental or just go with the flow viewers:) The underwater scenes were off the roof and enjoyable finding gold bars not easy but worth it once you find it just don't be caught with bad guys who monitor the lake as the tension built-up. Most of the cast are fresh faces and never seen before their young looks like fun to hangout with their hilarious bond in the boot camp and the way they fight end making bigger explosives!

Movie News: This film is rumored to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. In an effort to help the locals, they go rogue and engineer a heist to retrieve the gold and return it to its rightful owners. But in a deadly turn of events, they are detected by the enemy and left with only 10 hours to carry out their mission. The film stars J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) & Sullivan Stapleton (300: Rise of an Empire), is Directed by Steven Quale (Final Destination 5 and Into the Storm) and is an original story written by Luc Besson (Taken, The Warriors Gate and Lucy).
