Another 4 movies!

Yeah I'm really enjoying my free time visiting the cinema. So, another 4 movies down. I don't write down what the plots were about so that I don't spoil the fun. Anyway you can just read it online as well. I don't like to copy and paste content onto my blog. 

All 4 movies were equally good in their own way, I'll give all 4 of 5 stars, but my favourite was Grace of Monaco.

1. Grace of Monaco

RATING

PG

Short review: This is truly worthy of the Cannes' opening film, no doubt about that. The cinematography was perfect. Story was great. Very classy project. Nicole Kidman, woohoo! Hurry catch it before it's off screen.

2. Overheard 3  窃听风云 3

CAST

Sean Lau Ching Wan, Louis Koo Daniel Wu, Zhou Xun

DIRECTOR

Alan Mak, Felix Chong

LANGUAGE

Mandarin with Chinese and English subtitles

OPENING

29 May 2014

RUNTIME

RATING

PG13 - Some Violence and Coarse Language

Short review: Third of the series, less heavy than the previous two. Plot was complicated but easy enough to digest within the runtime. Kept me hooked onto the screen with various small twists here and there. Lau Ching Wan plus Louis Koo. What can go wrong? Masculinity paired with geek. 

3. Disney's Maleficent

CAST

Angelina Jolie, Sharlto Copley, Elle Fanning, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Miranda Richardson, Juno Temple, Lesley Manville

DIRECTOR

Robert Stromberg

LANGUAGE

English

OPENING

29 May 2014

Short review: Okay, I really love how the story ended with a major twist from the original Sleeping Beauty diegesis. That really got me even though through out the movie I was glued on how AJ's cheeks looked so chiselled.

4. Aberdeen 香港仔

Cast: Louis Koo, Miriam Yeung, Gigi Leung
Director: Pang Ho-Cheung
Genre:Drama
Language: Mandarin
Release Date:22 May 2014
Running Time:97 minutes

Short review: This movie is an art masterpiece. So many stories running parallel but gelled by the theme of family. Touches social issues, touches locality. By the way, Golden Village is the exclusive distributor. Even though this movie went down extremely well with me, but do note that it is not as easily acceptable to others due to its artistic directions.
