Coco; Disney’s Epic Masterpiece for 2017’s Year End

A round of applause for Pixar, they just ended 2017 with a masterpiece, "Coco".

If you think this movie's predictable think again. The trailer really does one hell of a job in hiding the plots and all, I mean even the extended version doesn't give out much. Firstly the title isn't even the main characters name and there's a few more mouth dropping moments as you keep watching. 
Disney's diversity takes us to Mexico this December (2017 of course) with a story about a boy with music in his heart but a family that doesn't support it. He then winds up in an adventure to find his great grandfather (in the land of the dead) to get blessings to freely pursue music and break the families "music is forbidden policy This movie will light up your homes this festive season with lessons about how important family is. It’s also packed with great dialogue and humour. Animation was simply outstanding. 


It certainly wouldn't be Disney without musical numbers. This movie has memorable songs including "un poco loco", "remember me" and quite a few more that will instantly have you thinking you can speak Spanish. 
With a budget of barely $200 million, the movie raked up to about $682 million on the box office and is still selling.
So gather up the kids (adults may love it even more, I did after all) and don't let them miss out on this wonderful and inspirational adventure. Here’s the trailer just to get you a glimpse of this awesomeness;

The Intern (2015): Movie Review

If you’ve been in the position of being an intern or a temp in any place well then, you gotta watch this one. I know it’s a 2015 movie (some movie junkies claim to only watch movies or TV shows released in Cinemas only), but c’mon, don’t you still love the Godfather. I must say I found this movie to be not only fun filled but full of startup drama that is indeed exhilarating at the same time.

Well enough of me yip yapping, the cast chemistry was just awesome, with the legendary one and only Robert De Niro playing the Intern and Ann Hathaway playing the e-commerce fashion startup founder and CEO. The story line is simply based on De Niro copying on being accepted as a senior intern and has to work side by side as an assistant to the always working( or rather workaholic)  CEO Jules Ostin (Ann Hathaway) who has to put up with balancing her corporate life with her social and family life. It’s a marvelous tale of modern day welfare, check out the trailer below:

Hunger Games Mocking Jay: Part II; Pheeeew Finally an Ending


Katniss, Katniss, Katniss, she finally got to storm and face “The district Headquarters” head on. Well as usual, expect some spoilers, but not much, so you still have to watch it, if you planned to. So where do I start, well different form the preceding Hunger Games Movies which were rather more action packed (like more than half of the movie), this one captured a more emotional side of the characters, Katniss’s trust that Peeta would always be on their side. I particularly found the journey to the capital to be very adventure ridden and the capital’s armory was just wooow, some serious fire power action. The best twist for me was that of a meeting between President Snow and Katniss.
The best part of course after the triumph of the districts in overthrowing President Snow was the fairy tale ending of Katniss and Peeta finally been reunited and well the rest you’ll have to find out. Ratings wise, I must say, it started slow but progressed into a more captivating tempo so I give it an overall 8.0/10. Action was quite intriguing, with a 7.0/10, humour well not much but a 6.0/10 will do. Visual effects where flawless at 8.5/10 and the screenplay and cinematography I must admit where quite good too, I will give it a 8.5/10. Enjoy the movie guys, catch me again when we review another blockbuster. #entertainmentzone24/7

Spectre; Just how Spectacular is the new 007 Movie

Seen the latest Bond Movie yet? Well if you haven’t, then you’re in for some spoilers, but that shouldn’t hold you back from eventually watching it. The new 007 Movie “Spectre” well on average, was a little bit disappointing (and I watched it in IMAX by the way) Why? Well main reason being I expected more or rather a bit too much from 007. Looking back at Skyfall, of which Spectre is actually a continuation well am sure a bond fanatic would agree with me that Skyfall was more action packed and the story line, just full of surprises. Now I understand why even the former Bond star, Brosnan was skeptical with the new 007 movie.



First things first, the one we always anticipate in an action movie, the ‘villain’ who in this case was played by the one and only Christoph Waltz (I must say they really didn’t use his role to the fullest); the villain was not as intriguing as the one from Skyfall, and he rather got beat too easily if I may put it that way. Bautista’s role however was a killer one and he actually lightened up the movie for me very much especially that car chase, felt like I was watching Fast 8 for a moment.
In overall the movie was alright, but not too impressive so I will give it a 6.5 rating average. As for the cinematography and visual effects, well that lived up to the 007 movies standards, so it’s a 8.5, humour well it was alright, a 7 will do.
Catch me again when we review the next hot movie. #EntertainmentZone24/7
