My Movie Review: The movie is explosion of massive and straight to the point action that shouldn't be missed. White House Down managed to deliver new input of history and current events about President and Nation in risk of terrorists attacks even though some movies have the same tool. This movie makes me want to see and visit the White House and know some facts in their history. Both lead actors nailed their parts and the genius director puts everything on it's right place ending up with great quality movies all the time!!
My Favorite Term: White House

The White House is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States, located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. It has been the residence of every U.S. president since John Adams in 1800.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE UNDERWATER WORLD

My Personal Experience: I went to Underwater World this year May 5, 2013, together with my father, mother, sister and aunt. We ate our lunch at Food Republic, we went to Sentosa Beach Station and entered the Underwater World. There we saw dolphins and sealions on a show with their trainers and different kinds of fishes at the bigger aquarium!!

Underwater World

Underwater World Singapore is an oceanarium located at 80 Siloso Road on the island of Sentosa. Its key features include the Dolphin Lagoon housing endangered pink Indo-Pacific humpbacked dolphins, as well as an 83m moving walkway enclosed by an observation tunnel.

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: WORLD WAR Z

Director: Marc Forster
Cast: Brad Pitt, James Badge Dale, Lucy Aharish, Mireille Enos

Plot: Based on the book of the same title by Max Brooks, "World War Z" is a post-apocalyptic horror film that tells the story of a UN representative. Brad Pitt plays Gerry Lane, a U.N. employee who scours the world, interviewing survivors of the Zombie apocalypse, referred to as World War Z. The United Nations left out much of his work from the official report, choosing to focus on facts and figures from the war rather than the individual stories. These interviews chart a decade-long war against zombies from the view point of many different people of various nationalities, as well as the changing religious, geo-political, and environmental landscape of the survivors.

My Movie Review: The movie is a mix of stunning and fast moving worst images but the whole movie for me is a disaster. The movie lacks heart and reasoning, not inspirational and the ending is a mess. The good stuff were shown at the trailers so there's no sense of surprise anymore and didn't shown where the zombies came from, they just pop out, people starts to panic and run. I'm confused some of my classmates liked it but I don't, maybe I expected much or the movie doesn't make sense at all for me but so it's Brad Pitt.

My Favorite Line: Life as we know it will come to an end in 90 days, it’s on us to change.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: MALAYSIA MALACCA JONKER WALK

My Personal Experience: I went to Malacca Malaysia this year May 11, 2013, this is our first day with some of my family. We ate our lunch at Famosa Chicken Rice Ball and had tea time at Ochado Tea House. We visited some tourist spot like Jonker Walk World Heritage Park, Malaysia Agricultural Museum and Porta De Santiago. Some of the streets looks Chinatown but store like Hard Rock Cafe balance the ambience makes it so modern.

Jonker Walk

A definite haven for antique collectors and bargain hunters. Authentic artifacts and relics, some dating as far back as 300 years, can be found among a host of interesting collectibles, each with its own history and mystery. Recently, a new wave of cafes and craft shops have sprouted on this street, lending it a cultured air of old-meets-new.

My Movie Review: The movie is awesome because it's about meeting new friends in college and makes it cooler because their monsters studying how to be scary. It's actually my first cartoon movie in big screen, even though I like cartoons because they are inspiring and cute. I usually watched them in small screen in Cable TV particularly in HBO and Star Movies. I watched this movie because my sister's company treat us with free tickets with cocktail buffet lunch, dessert and freebies like coke, popcorn, 3D glasses and photos in photo booth. I felt so blessed cause I shared the experience with all my siblings.

My Favorite Line: I've been waiting for this my whole life! I'm gonna be a scarer!

My Movie Review: The movie is a explosion of spectacular imagery and mind blowing action sequence. What can I say this movie is a legend, the story is timeless and the direction is a masterpiece. I like the movie because the creativity they input is massive and it captures story that most can relate too. The plot is all ready established plus brilliant actors who gave justice to their roles. Man of Steel is tough and powerful at the same time represents hope to the people against all odds. Remarkable film with great sound effects!!
